Is America’s First Zionist President

It is
impossible not to feel some sympathy for
President Donald Trump.
His agenda to restore normal relations
with Russia and to end Washington’s gratuitous
wars has been frustrated by the “Russiagate
hoax” that the military/security complex and
corrupt Democratic Party used in the effort to
remove Trump from the presidency.
He and his wife have been embarrassed by
the fake “Steele Dossier” paid for by the
Clinton campaign and used by a corrupt FBI
leadership to illegitimately obtain spy warrants
on Trump and his associates.
Accused of cavorting with prostitutes in
Moscow and confronted with claims by a porn star
of an affair in order to boost the recognition
value of her name, Trump and his wife have
experienced uncomfortable times.
Now that the lies the presstitutes have
told since 2016 have been exposed by Mueller’s
inability, despite his use of every dirty trick,
to come up with any indictable offense connected
to “Russiagate,” the psychopathic liars who
comprise
the presstitute media are on the verge of tears.
Mueller has betrayed them, they claim, by
letting Trump off the hook.
In
other words, there will be no apology to Trump.
Don’t be surprised to see the deranged
accusation that Mueller himself was part of the
Russian collusion and was appointed for the
purpose of covering it up.
Weakened by “Russiagate” accusations, Trump was
forced to back off his agenda of ending the
wars.
He put policy in the hands of
neoconservative warmongers like John Bolton and
Pompeo, and expanded the prospect of wars into
Iran and Venezuela.
Trump in office bears little resemblance
to Trump campaigning for the presidency.
Under
such pressure Trump has broken American
diplomatic precedent and international law with
respect to Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan
Heights in his effort to seek the protection of
the powerful Israel Lobby.
He recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s
capital and moved the US Embassy there, and on
March 22 he said it is time to accept the
reality of Israel’s occupation of Syria’s Golen
Heights as Israeli territory.
This extreme pandering to Israeli
Zionism is a disgrace to the United States
It is
not clear how Trump has benefited from his
groveling. If polls can be believed, Trump’s
pandering has done him no good with American
Jews, 70% of whom disapprove of Trump.
Moreover, the Israel Lobby failed to use
its influence to silence the presstitutes false
“Russiagate” accusations against Trump.
Perhaps the Lobby wanted to keep Trump in
a weak position in order to extract more
concessions from him.
Nevertheless, by terminating US aid to
Palestinians and by being the only head of state
to fully recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli
capital and to assign Syrian territory to
Israel, Trump has established a US relationship
with Israeli Zionism that the US has with no
other state and that Israel has with no other
state.
On any issue that pertains to Israel’s
interest, Trump has placed US foreign policy
into Israel’s hands.
Various
diplomats and analysts are saying that Trump
gifted the Golan Heights to Israel in order to
help out Netanyahu who faces indictment for
corruption.
I think the explanation is that the
neoconservatives running US foreign policy are
Zionists and that the only ally Trump has, other
than the remnants of the American working class
now dismissed as “white supremacists,” is the
Israel Lobby.
The
hostility of the Trump regime toward Russia,
China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela
does America no good (except for the
shareholders of the military/security complex).
But the hostility toward Iran, Syria, and their
protector—Russia—does benefit Israel. Israel has
been frustrated in its desire to occupy southern
Lebanon by the Hezbollah militia, which is
supported by Syria and Iran.
If Washington can destabilize Syria and
Iran, as it did Iraq and Libya, Hezbollah would
be cut off from support. Moreover, Washington’s
accusations against Russia and missile bases on
Russia’s border can distract Russia’s attention
and resources away from the Middle East and
leave Syria and Iran less able to resist the
US/Israeli pressures.
Trump,
who campaigned on peace so that America’s
attention and resources could be focused on
America’s own situation, now has the US more
embroiled than ever in the affairs of foreign
countries, principally Israel, a Zionist state.
This fact makes it reasonable to conclude
that Trump is America’s first Zionist president,
a development that bodes more ill for the world.
