Fool me twice, shame on me. Con me consistently for six decades and the relationship is over, as is Israel\u2019s credibility as a legitimate nation state.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Tel Aviv knows this. But what can the Zionist state do about it?
Answer: Wikileaks.
Why now? Misdirection.
Shine the spotlight on Washington to take it off Tel Aviv. That\u2019s good old-fashioned psy-ops. And challenge the credibility of the U.S. That\u2019s Wikileaks.
Any credible forensics would start by asking: to whose benefit? Then look to means, motive and opportunity plus the presence of stable nation-state intelligence inside the U.S.
Other than Israel, who else is a credible candidate? Notice how quickly Israel\u2019s role in the peace process vanished from the news. Now it\u2019s Iran, Iran and more Iran. To whose benefit?
Tel Aviv knows that the phony intelligence on Iraq leads to those skilled at waging war \u201cby way of deception\u201d\u2014the motto of the Israeli Mossad.
Wikileaks are noteworthy for what\u2019s missing: the absence of any material damaging to Israeli goals.
But still Tel Aviv faces an unprecedented peril: transparency. Americans know they were duped. And Israel rightly fears that Americans will soon realize by whom.<\/p>\n

Tepid Support will not Suffice<\/p>\n

Obama has behaved as anticipated by those who produced his presidency. Anyone surprised at the lack of change in U.S. policy in the Middle East fails to grasp the power of the Israel lobby.
Did he hesitate to support their latest Israeli strategy for scuttling peace negotiations? Absent peace, the U.S. will continue to be the target of those outraged at America\u2019s unflinching support for Israel\u2019s thuggish behavior in pursuit of its expansionist goals.
Confirming the lobby\u2019s influence, Netanyahu announced he would not agree to halt settlements on Palestinian land until Obama reduced to writing a $3 billion bribe.
In return for a proposed 90-day freeze, what form of bribe will America provide? Twenty F-35 jets at $150 million each plus parts, maintenance, training and armaments.
That\u2019s $231 million per week or $1,373,626 per hour. What will the U.S. receive in return? A temporary partial freeze on settlements. How many more times can this ruse work?
Israel has evaded a peace agreement since it drove Palestinians from their land in 1948 and seized more land in 1967 to shape today\u2019s geopolitics.
Should Israel reach an agreement with the Palestinians, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proposes a \u201ccomprehensive security agreement.\u201d At what cost no one knows. The U.S. Congress has already budgeted $30 billion for Israel over 10 years. This latest $3 billion is on top of that.
That doesn\u2019t include the cost to American credibility posed by an offer to veto U.N. recognition of Palestine as a state. And a pledge Never Again to pressure Israel on settlements. Plus the freeze omits East Jerusalem where Tel Aviv insists on moving ahead with new housing starts.<\/p>\n

Timing Is Everything<\/p>\n

By scheduling its latest incursion into Gaza between Christmas 2008 and the January 2009 Obama inaugural, Tel Aviv ensured only muted opposition during political down time in the U.S. Thus it came as no surprise to see an agent provocateur operation on Thanksgiving Day 2010 as Israel demolished a West Bank Mosque and a Palestinian village.
After seven hours of nonstop talks, Hillary Clinton praised Netanyahu as a \u201cpeacemaker.\u201d In return, he agreed only to \u201ccontinue the process.\u201d Meanwhile, U.S. elections marked a major victory for Israel when incoming Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Jewish Zionist, announced that the new majority would \u201cserve as a check on the Obama administration.\u201d
The Israel lobby has good reason to gloat. Confirming ongoing duplicity, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman proclaimed: \u201ca permanent agreement is impossible.\u201d
Wikileaks\u2019 release of confidential diplomatic cables provides Israel an opportunity to undermine U.S. relations worldwide while also inflicting lasting damage on U.S. interests in the Middle East. After this, what nation would trust the U.S. to maintain a confidence?
In October, Turkey asked that the U.S. not share intelligence with Israel. Now who dares share intelligence with the U.S.?
This may signal the beginning of the end for the Obama presidency his domestic policy failures are eclipsed by his failures in foreign policy.
This may also signal pre-staging for the 2012 presidential primary with a weakened Obama forced to name Clinton as his running mate or stepping aside so she can lead the ballot.
Her 2008 presidential campaign promised recognition of Israel as a \u201cJewish state\u201d and promised an \u201cundivided Jerusalem as the capital.\u201d Tel Aviv was elated. A second Clinton presidency would ensure another victory for Israel\u2014and no peace.
Israeli psy-ops typically serve multiple purposes. Wikileaks is no exception.<\/p>\n
