Every time I come in the news lately, I can see the headlines are starting to greatly unsettled me. "Israel offends US Envoy" "Plans for Israel's buildings in Jerusalem are Mideast peace efforts stalling." "Israel America are at an all time low." These headlines but not make nervous me, because I think it's a smart strategy to lead a country as you dictated by American politicians. In fact, the contrary. I am afraid that much at its own expense does continuously exactly Israel, and one day see the wrong piece advice potentially catastrophic results (again?).
But I digress.
What is the United States of America? Where come from this country, the term when it flexes his muscles on your "little brother" Israel Israel should lower its head, apologize, and do as his said? Where are America this idea that his opinion is always correct and morally superior?
In my view there are three errors in America's Outlook which could ultimately harm Israel, biggest ally:
1. America is invincible.
Since I was a child I grew to believe, the United States was untouchable. Because of the exalted status as the most powerful nation in the universe America feels offended if someone does not consider his claims as immediately binding.
But America is invincible? Is America?
Let me see. It could conquer not Viet Nam. It is caught in wars against two not definitely super powers. America threatens sanctions to giggle other Nations. And America regardless searches the mastermind behind the first ever major attack against the Mainland States.
Note that in 1967 teeny little under equipped Israel four countries (including Iraq!) brought to their knees in just six days without the help of any other nation. Why big brother, bend it of power from America, his overbearing, should if other countries will feel afraid I never understand.
But it could just...
2. America is the epitome of moral superiority.
I have never really understood, this one. True, America has the most purely moralistic code. The idea that all men are created equal is really nice. But America's history just seems as it slowly is this ideal inching towards, without ever actually do it.
Because these profound words were formulated America enslaved people for generations followed to deprive of former slaves of their civil rights. America remains atomic bomb on the people until today the only nation in the world ever fall and has minimal diversity among its leaders.
America Pats on the back for the choice of an African-Americans as President. How about a not Protestant? Or a woman? Or an anarchist? Or golly gee, a not politician? This, in my mind are far greater differences as color of skin (and in the minds of everyone think non-racist).
Where get America from this arrogance? Where are this mistaken belief that morality is the epicenter of the world? I've lived in America and Israel and I am amazed that someone Israel hear even for a moment when America tries to explain how Israel should or should not behavior.
3. America really understands how the world functions.
America has a firm grip on the Middle East have mentality? Are America completely the nuances of the relationship and history between Israel and its neighbours?
I is not the mouth: No.
There are some differences between a Western spirit and one is or middle eastern spirit, I don't think the ever can be understood by the average American. If these misunderstandings lead to dictation of foreign policy, the catastrophe is inevitable.
If an unskilled and inexperienced person in the wilderness were he wouldn't know what to do in the face of danger. Some animals, you should run out or search high ground. Some you should run in a certain way. And there are other animals where the best procedure is to stay still. Lack of know could result in your decline.
The same goes with the world. If everything in the same way find same results, addressed have some success, but should be much disappointment and get used to.
"Israel offends US Envoy"-Israel is your best try to survive. If you are offended, deal with it.
"Plans for Israel's buildings in Jerusalem are Mideast peace efforts stalling."-Israel continues to attempt to be a sovereign nation. Sovereign Nations are allowed to build in their capitals. Mideast peace efforts have never seen, results and people are plotting to destroy Israel every day. Is what prevents peace it really fair to say, to develop Israel's Capitol, is? Safely. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mickey Mouse-cartoons, children, to be suicide bombers to train...
"Israel America are at an all time low."-America: Get over it. You are only the overbearing older brother who pouts, if he not get his own way. This does not mean, you're right.
