The Arab is the Nigger of the World

It seems to me that the driving force of American policy toward the Middle East, primarily the Arab states, has been the force of racism. Ironic, because this very argument is enough to garner an accusation of me being and anti-semite, but here goes.

The trouble began when Palestine was divided and Israel was created. For some reason Palestinians took not so kindly to Westerners divding their country for their own political gain. Throughout the second half of the second century the Middle East was plagued with wars that germinated here and there, largely because of the World Powers (U.S., England, USSR, a handful of European countries) who wanted to maintain a presence in the resource-rich Middle East.

1: Suez Crisis, Israel invades Sinai Peninsula in response to Egypt nationalizing the canal and not allowing Israeli ships to pass. French and England collaborate, the U.S. acts as the dumbass with his hands tied. (Egypt did possess Soviet arms, is it possible that U.S. tried not-so-hard because of their fear of the rise of Soviet prominence in the region).

2:1967 6 Day War: Nasser closes the Straits of Tiran to Israeli transportation. Egypt once again gets demolished by the new-kid bully on the playground, Israel. This time Israel conquers the occupies the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Sinai and Gaza. A U.N. Resolution (Resolution 242) was passed that called for the withdraw of Israel from occupied terrirtories, they did not comply.

Okay okay I am going to stop with the history lesson, because it is admittedly biased. But, one little fact that is straight up, no spin, in your face fact is that Israel did not comply with the Resolution to withdraw from the occupied territory, a resolution that all the powers (inlcuding the good old US of A) of the world agreed to. Israel still today occupies some of these territories. Carter's Camp David Accords did not budge Israel, Clinton's Camp David Redux also failed, and the Road Map to Peace has been a Road Map to Israel non-compliance.

The Arab camp deserves their fair share of criticism, but in history their has been evidence of their attempts to compromise, only to face the stubborn retort of Israel. The reason I write this blog, is that for some reason Israeli non-compliance for half a century has only been answered by the United States' continuing support, but non-compliance on the part of Iraq for less than a decade, results in their country being destoryed and the order and peace being so buried under the rubble that their seems to be no restoration in sight.

Why is this? The only thing I can gather is that The U.S. (perhaps sub-consciously) thinks the Arabs are dangerous, and that they are also incapable of ruling themselves. Israeli aggression is never condoned, but it is never reprimanded either, instead we just tolerate it as a logical response to those thugs in the Arab world. All these things are, in one easily recognizeable word, racism. American will constantly keep their hands in the affairs of the Arab states because they do indeed present alot of wealth , but if we gave them the respect to act diplomatically, and politically in world affairs on their own accord we could develop ties that would allow us to benefit from a symbiotic relationship, but instead we think them unable to act respectable in public. Undoubtedly, they will turn to jihad, so lord knows we better not give them any unsupervised power, and we must always lock the doors when we drive through their side of town.
