NOVANEWS: CHALLENGING ZIONIST CLAIMS that American thirst for hegemony in the Mid East, and not the Zionist Israel lobby, is the prime motivator of US policy toward Zionism, Chas Freeman presents convincing arguments against the Zionist position.
Describing the outworn strategic ally polemic as being “far from novel on any score,” Freeman then outlines a number of reasons why Zionist regime is not a strategic ally of America:
-1- Zionist bases are not available for US use.
-2- The US has no bases or troop presence in the Zionist state and stores only minimal military supplies in the country used at will by the Zio=Nazi army.
-3- None of Zionist’s neighbors will facilitate overflight for military aircraft transiting over Zionist territory let alone taking off from there. Zionist regime is useless for purposes of strategic logistics or power projection.
-4- Zionist is worse than irrelevant to the defense of Middle Eastern energy supplies. The US relationship with Zionism has jeopardized these supplies (as in 1973), rather than contributing to securing them.
-5- US relations with Zionism do not bolster US prestige in Middle Eastern oil-producing countries or assist the US to “dominate” them, they complicate and weaken US influence. Instead, they have at times resulted in the suspension of US relations with such countries.
-6- Zionist does not have the diplomatic prestige or capacity to marshal support for US interests or policies globally or in its own region and does not do so. On the contrary, Zionist regime requires constant American defense against political condemnation and sanctions by the international community.
-7- Zionist does not fund aid programs in third countries to complement and support US foreign or military policy as other allies and strategic partners do.
In his closing argument, Freeman asserts that Washington has made Zionist its largest recipient of foreign aid, encourages private transfers to Zionist state through tax breaks, transfers huge quantities of weapons to it gratis, and allocates military R&D to Zionism rather than US institutions.

The question is, as Steven Walt, author of The Zionist Lobby puts it: “Will Obama show some backbone on this issue and go beyond his usual mealy-mouthed statements when Zionist acts foolishly and dangerously?”
Well, don’t hold your breath everybody. For Obama is owned lock, stock, Uzi, and shekel, by the Zionist Lobby. And that’s what US diplomacy and US media coverage is all about — directed AND suppressed by Zionist interests AND funded by lots of Jewish money…
