The United States & the State of Israel’s Military Policies are at the Root to many of our Problems
It is the hypocrisy of what the United States and the State of Israel are saying in what they are doing militarily compared to the political realities on the ground. Between the way we say things are and the way things are really there is too often a great difference. It is this gap where the miss-understandings are created taking our leaders down the wrong road that is going the wrong way too many times. With the single issue lobbies such as the military industrial complex, pro Israel, Banking, Oil, etc leading the way of our elected leaders in Washington D.C..
Our nation never heeded to the warning of former President Eisenhower about the threat of the Military Industrial Complex in his 1961 Farewell Address. Today the United States militarily has become almost everything we accused the former Soviet Union durning the Cold War. Just look at the number of nations and the number of countries the United States has a military presence and the amount of money we are spending in the name of military defense and security. The United States and Israel are trying to maintain foreign/military policies and actions that are not sustainable over the course of time. With many of these foreign/military policies and actions being at the root of so much of the great hatred and contempt of both nations by the international community of nations.

Israeli’s Iron Dome Program
The Palestinian people have been the guinea-pigs of the Israeli military industrial complex. The latest being the Israelis provocation of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Getting the Palestinians to fire more rockets into Southern Israel so they could test their new “Iron Dome” system. By all accounts the tests went very well according to the Israeli military spokesperson. The Iron Dome responded to 63 of the larger Palestinian missiles fired into southern Israel with Iron Dome intercepting 52 of them. At a cost of one-hundred thousand dollars a missile.
The Israeli’s unmanned military drones program has used the Palestinians as a testing ground with their targeting assassinations and spying on the Palestinian people. A whole host of other Israeli military products, programs, and military weapons have been tested on the Palestinian people. The Israeli military test results help them market and sell their products at the international military trade shows.
The question, one must ask themselves; Can the State of Israel and the United States economy be healthy in peacetime with so much of the economy being based in wartime manufacturing.?With the United States having the world’s largest military industrial complex by far and the State of Israel being in the top five. The negative polarity that is built up by such a large and overwhelming military industrial complexes of the United States and the State of Israel is leading us into a cycle of endless wars and conflicts.

Israel/Iran
Most people in the world clearly see the State of Israel as the fifty-first state of the United States. There are many mayors and governors of cities and states in America that would like the proportional amount of time and resources that the 5.5 million Israelis get from Washington D.C.. With the political leaders of the State of Israel pounding the drums harder and louder for going to war with Iran. This has contributed to the rising price of the global crude oil market on a very weak global economic recovery. Any military attack on another nation by the State of Israel is seen as an attack by the United States by most people of the world.
Very few people to almost no one in the world wants to see Iran become a nuclear military armed state. Most people in the world as well as in the Middle East would like to see the Middle East a nuclear weapon free zone. This is not possible with the State of Israel possessing between 150 to 300 undeclared nuclear military warheads some of which are on Israel’s fleet of submarines that are afloat in the seas. It is clearly the hypocrisy of the State of Israel in their military actions and policies towards Iran. That is dividing the United States and the State of Israel fromwar the rest of the global community of nations.
It is time for the American people to wake-up to what their federally elected officials are doing with their unconditional support of the State of Israel’s overly aggressive military policies and actions. Let us see the State of Israel put there nuclear program under the same international inspection and scrutiny as they want of Iran’s nuclear program. The sooner we live up too what we preach and dictate on to other nations of people. The sooner we will find ourselves on the same page with other nations of people, with fewer wars and more diplomatic solutions to our differences.

Truth & Consequences
With the pro Israelis being great masters of the manipulation of the American mainstream mass media in getting their message out to the American people. Too often it is the American people who never hear the truth to the realities on the ground when it comes to the Israelis adversaries and enemies. Today we are on the cusp of yet another war with Iran because of the the Israelis. At what point will the American government and people wake-up to the ill ways of the Israeli government in there war mongering ways.
Today the Israeli military raided and disabled two of the Palestinian TV broadcasting stations in the West Bank. Little to none thing will be said about it in the American mainstream media beside a footnote in the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen of the TV or the back page of the newspaper. Both the Palestinians and Iranians have little to no way of protesting the false charges and illegal actions of the Israeli government in the United States mass media system. Most of the American people are totally unaware of the Israeli governments censorship of any news that is disseminated from Israel concerning the state of affairs with the Palestinians.
There are many American people that would like to hear from the leaders of Iran and Palestine in English to what their policies are toward the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Too often we hear from the supporters of Israel loud and clear what they say are the plans and policies of the Iranian and Palestinian governments. A clear confirmation or denial of the Israeli accusations is needed so more Americans can have a better understanding to the truth.

The Religious Fundamentalist Extremists Are no Different on the Other Side
When you have the State of Israel and the Saudi Arabia governments on the same page for going to war with Iran. Saudi Arabia being almost a pure Sunni nation with many Islamic religious fundamentalist extremists that are on the same page as the Christian and Jewish fundamentalist extremists in the United States and Israel. Compounded by the fact these are two of the worlds largest military industrial complexes that want to test out some of their new war toys.
There is no question that most people in the Middle East see the State of Israel as the fifty-first state of the United States. That any action or reaction taken by the State of Israel or against the State of Israel is an attack on the United States. Today the Middle East is in a state of war with the religious fundamentalist extremists running the show in Israel, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. With the religious extremists of the Republican party fighting to regain control of the United State’s foreign and domestic policies.

The Pro Israelis Versus David Global Crier
One of the other things I hear a lot from the pro Israeli side is that you can’t trust them they are terrorists. The Palestinian/Arabs want all of the land driving the Jewish people into the sea. The problem with this scenario is that the foreign occupiers have always had military control over their land for many centuries. Today its the Jewish State of Israel is controlling 100% of what was formally known as Palestine. How does an invading foreign nation of people take control of almost all of the land without terrorizing the indigenous people? While the Israelis are claiming to be the victims by the people they mostly control. How can one nation of people claim so many victories in war and conflicts while still claiming to be the victims so many years later is quite puzzling.
When I talk of Peace in the Palestinian/Israeli Crisis. The most common response is “ Not in my lifetime, maybe in my children’s lifetime”. It is this kind of pessimistic outlook that keeps peace a delusion. Yes, it is an up hill struggle all the way, but it is one worth working for the future generations to come. In my short lifetime things have only gotten worse for the Palestinian people. It is quite obvious that my generation and the ones older than mine have not done a very good job in their quest for peace in this crisis. Making my job and the future generations job that much harder in finding a peaceful way for the two people to exist on one land. David Global Crier

The Sane Verses the Insane
No where is this clearer than in the Palestinian/Israeli crisis, the issue of going to war, political campaigns as well as the moral issues. Generally speaking there will be one side of the establishment that is well financed with the other side that is challenging the status-quo that is running on a shoe-string budget. This is the part of the matrix of our system and human nature that makes it harder in solving our problems. Just look at what extreme the National Rifle Association (NRA) will go to defend the American peoples right to own and possess an assault rifle. Or the United States establishment’s campaign to going into war verses the peacemakers who are labeled as traitors and being anti patriots.
The military industrial complex has a vested interest in supporting the military State of Israel, the American people’s right to own an assault rifle and the pounding of the drums for more war. They are all good for more sales and higher profits. There is no way to peace with such great profits being monopolized by a few people and corporations by going to war. The candidates of the two major political parties in the United States cannot challenge the current status-quo without being politically destroyed and discredited as a viable leader. Just look at how fast and how high our federally elected leaders in Washington D.C. move up the ladder to powerful positions by being for more wars. Then look at our federally elected leaders that stand-up speaking out against more war. For the most part they are sidelined and shunned by the establishment often made out to being misfits. Just look at these members of Congress such as Senator Bernard Sanders, Congressman Denis Kucinich and Congressman Ron Paul as good examples of this. Then look at the Congressional leaders of the House and Senate and how much money they have received from the supporters of the military industrial complex and the militarization of the State of Israel as well as the Middle East region.

Palestinian & Israelis Peace Plan
When tensions and conflicts are running high between the Israelis and their adversaries. They receive a lot more foreign aid as well as uniting of the international Jewish community behind the State of Israel. Historically durning times of recent peace talks the Palestinians lose more of their ground and the Israeli right wing extremists become more vocal and actively threatening to the Israeli and Palestinian establishment. With the number of illegal Jewish settlers in the West Bank and especially around East Jerusalem more than doubled since the Oslo Accords of 1993.
Over recent years the Israelis have changed the “realities on the ground” on disputed land around the Old City of Jerusalem- East Jerusalem and the West Bank through social engineering. It will only be through social engineering that is more fair and balance that a long term peace solution can be obtained. A clearer vision to how peace would look like and how it is going to work must be outline for more people to understand. The rule of laws must be enforced fairly and be very similar on both sides. What should be right for one side should be right for the other side as well.
The thirty some year Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt-Jordan has always been on very thin and shaky grounds with the vast majority of the people of Egypt and Jordan. The real glue that held the leaders of Egypt and Jordan together on the Peace Treaty with Israel was the tens of billions of dollars of United States military and foreign aid. With the State of Israel getting the great majority of the United States military financial aid while making the life of the everyday Palestinian people worse than ever before. All of which is very well publicized in the Arab nations especially in Jordan where over half of the population are of displace Palestinian descendants.
With the mass media news leads in the United States greatly favoring the Israeli side and in Egypt-Jordan they greatly favoring the Palestinian side. The way the people of Israel and United States see the problems to this life long conflict greatly differers than the Arab people on the streets. This fomenting great hate and anger towards the actions and policies of the State of Israel and the United States. Where the Arab leaders could be paid off with large sums of oil or foreign aid money to overlook the Palestinian situation.
The Old City of Jerusalem being on the frontline of this life long conflict, bringing out the religiously indoctrinated extremists from all sides. There is very little difference between the Israeli Jewish religious extremists and the United States Christian religious extremists and the Arab Islamic religious extremists. They are one of the same when it comes to compromising on their religious beliefs with others often leading to conflicts. Where the political leaders could be bought and paid for to change and compromise their position. The same could not be said about the extremist religious leaders of faith. Creating a cultural divide between the political leaders of nations and the religious conservative people of faith.
Only by all sides having some empathy for the people of the other side will there be an understanding to the truth. So that a balance and fair settlement can be worked out for a peaceful coexistence among people of the different faiths. One cannot dictate their ways onto other people of different faith as we would not want that done to us. That the extremists on all sides have to be addressed and sidelined for the greater good of the whole society.
What plans and actions will bring long-term peace to the Palestinian and Israelis. Today the general world wide consensus is a two state solution with a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. But the two state solution does not address the major problem of the Old City of Jerusalem that is at the apex. Neither side will concede the Old City of Jerusalem to the other side. This is one reason many of the earlier plans to divide Palestine into a Jewish state, Palestinian state and make a zone for the International City of Jerusalem.
Given the religious significance of the region to the world’s three main religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Maybe why a one nation plan (the Holy Land nation) with three or four separate states should be considered. A peace plan like this might solve more problems than it creates. While creating a permanent governing structure for the long term for both sides to work within. Giving both the State of Israel and the State of Palestine there own autonomy within one nation. With the State of Jerusalem being a separate integrated state with its own bylaws. With the fourth possible state being Gaza.
The State of Israel will head up, in conjunction with the State of Palestine the security of the State of Jerusalem. Most of the State of Jerusalem having equal access to all. With the two possible exceptions being the Jewish Wailing Wall and the Islamic Temple Mount that will have some added restrictions. Creating a nation of states for the two people to peacefully coexist will create a tourists boom for the region. Where the people from both sides could prosper and over time build trust and understanding of one another.
Where the Palestinian-Israeli peace process should start is by reforming the Israeli social engineering laws and policies that are bad. The State of Israel being one of the newest most modern society that was created through intensive social engineering. This creating many of the problems that we see today between the Israelis and Palestinian people. Whether it is the fact that the government of the State of Israel owns and controls 93% of the land within Israel proper for Jewish use only. Or the Jewish use only roads it has created in the illegally occupied West Bank. It is the Israeli government’s social engineering policies and laws that have inflamed an already tense and volatile situation into a sixty plus years of a state of on going war.
There was or is no other way to create a new Jewish state out of a land that was the homeland of another people without social engineering. Today it is clearly understood that there is a Jewish State of Israel that possesses unofficial nuclear weapons with an official fleet of five submarines. From Jewish people without a nation to an unofficial nuclear military power in just sixty plus years. So there is no question on who has the power and control of the Palestinian and Israeli Crisis that has been created through the Jewish Israeli’s social engineering policies and actions.
The question is “For how long will the Israeli’s bad social engineering policies and laws be in place and to what degree will they go?” In a newly created America in the Declaration of Independence “Where all men are created equal” slavery was part of the accepted American system. It was not until the Civil War, almost one hundred years later was slavery was abolished. Then it took another hundred years before black and white people could use the same bathrooms and water fountains. Taking America almost two hundred years to reform-implement some of its bad social engineering policies. The time from muskets to becoming a nuclear military power that was leading the free industrial world.
The State of Israel does not have two hundred years to reform its bad social engineering laws and policies in time of atomic weapons of mass destruction and global instant mass media information. If the State of Israel started to reform some of its bad social engineering laws and policies. There would be so much international goodwill, mostly from outside the region the State of Israel would be seen in a much more acceptable light. Leading to better relations with its Arab nations of people and governments.
This is a possible synopsis of the Palestinian-Israeli Three Third Settlement Peace Plan. The following will be dealing with the disputed land that is being illegally occupied by the State of Israel. With 80% of the Jewish Israeli’s settlers on 20% of the occupied land. One third of the occupied land running adjacent to the 1967 Armistice Line will become part of the State of Israel with some conditions placed upon it. The second one third will be part of the new State of Palestine with some conditions placed on it. The last one third will be the new State of Jerusalem with many conditions placed on it.
Today the State of Israel controls 93% of the land in Israel proper. That is lease to Jewish people only through 49 and 98 year leases. The Jewish one third of land will have a different set of by-laws allowing of a more in mix population 1/3 Palestinian and 2/3 Jewish. The same will hold true on the Palestinian one third with 1/3 Jewish and 2/3 Palestinian. With the people on either side being able to apply for dual citizenship. Only by creating the conditions of a mixed of Palestinian and Jewish population along the border of the two states will the condition for a long term peace be created.
The most contentious part to both sides and the international community is the Old City of Jerusalem. The Old City of Jerusalem has an international religious significance like no other city in the world where three of the world’s major religions come together. For this reason the State of Jerusalem must be created with a whole new range of by laws creating equal access and security for all. The State of Jerusalem will be run by a council 1/3 Palestinian, 1/3 Israeli and 1/3 from the international community. The Israelis will head up and run the State of Jerusalem security forces that will be made up of 1/3 Israelis, 1/3 Palestinians and 1/3 from the international community. The Jewish settlements that fall into the State of Jerusalem will again be divided 1/3 Jewish, 1/3 Palestinian and 1/3 for the international community. The international community could be people from the universities, churches, the Vatican, the United Nations, European Union, international civic organizations, Arab League, Mosques and Temples from around the world.
It will take great sacrifices by the people on both sides with a properly balance social engineering plan implemented for peace to workout. There will always be a small minority on both sides will try to derail any plans for peace because they will not be satisfied until the other side is wiped out. They must be sidelined for the greater good of the majority of people on both sides. David Global Crier

The State of Israel is in Bed with the Military Industrial Complex
If you want to know why we are not heading down the road to peace. Just read this Congressional Research Service report U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel of September 16, 2010
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf
The United States government has pledged over three billion dollars a year in military aid to the State of Israel until the year 2018. This is on top of, well over a hundred billion dollars of United States aid to the State of Israel over the years. With two-thirds of it being military aid. It works out to over five-hundred dollars per every Israeli annually.
The military industrial complex in the United States and the State of Israel profit greatly from this military aid package. The State of Israel could not afford to maintain the illegal military occupation of the West Bank and the imprisonment of the 1.4 Palestinian people in Gaza without the United States military aid package over the many years. While the United States gives the Palestinian a hundred or two hundred million dollars a year if they behave and do not try something stupid like trying to become a recognized nation in the United Nations. Yet the Israelis bomb the hell out of Gaza and more bombs and military aid is on the way from the U.S.A..
With a few people and corporations in the United States and Israel making so much money off of this military aid package. They are heavily vested in seeing that the military aid continues. Making it harder, to nearly impossible to get on the road towards peace with so much money pledge towards conflict. There is not one federal elected official in Washington D.C. that would stand up in front of their peers and or the American people and say: “Let us invest thirty billion dollars into the Arc plan A Formal Structure for a Palestinian State over the next ten years. It is a giant leap in the right direction into finding a peaceful solution in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis.. It addresses many of the problems the people of Palestine face in forming a viable state. Only with a prospers Palestinian society that resembles the society of the State of Israel will the people of both societies have any real security. Yet almost in a single voice on both sides of the isle in Washington D.C. the United States government pledges over thirty billion dollars of military aid to the State of Israel over a ten year period.

Israel Insanity Iran Nukes
As the insanity grows between Israel and Iran, over the nuclear proliferation in the Middle East. The question becomes where will it end when the State of Israel is the only Middle Eastern nation who has undeclared nuclear weapons today. Almost no one in the world except for a few people in Iran who want to hold onto power, want to see Iran become a nuclear military nation. It is almost globally unanimously seen as going the wrong way for global peace and security. As it is with the State of Israel and/or the United States bombing Iran preventing them from becoming a nuclear nation. With the exception of a few Israeli right wingers, a few American right wing military hawks and a few oil rich Sunni kingdoms, the nations of the world are in agreement.
The State of Israel being seen as a nuclear military nation on steroids that has been threatening the Islamic region of nations. The State of Israel over the last sixty-five years has bombed and or militarily attacked Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq and the United States (USS Liberty). Not counting the Israeli covert military operations or the suppression and military occupation of the Palestinian nation of people. Meanwhile the oil rich Arab nations are spending far too much money on military weapons and far too little on their social disadvantaged programs for their poor. Creating little to no opportunities for their young people that are poor while remaining as economically powerful oil rich kingdoms.
The on going clash between the national interest and security of the oil exporting nations and the oil dry industrial nations with their need for more oil continues. With little to no regard or understanding of what is in the people’s best interest on the other side. The governments of the United States and the State of Israel continue to politically and militarily dictate many of the policies in the region for what is in there own self interest. A clear example of this is the State of Israel’s non-compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of the Dimona nuclear plant. While holding Iran’s feet to the fire, Israel and the United States are threatening to bomb Iran’s possible nuclear sites. Whether these sites are for peace time civilian use or military use is an unknown. What is known is that since 2010 four of Iran’s nuclear scientists have been killed in cold blood under very suspicious circumstances.
What is certain is if we continue the practices and policies of yesterday. They will only bring us back to repeating the same old mistakes making things worse to the point of a global catastrophe. Without a balance where you live up too, what you expect from the other side. Things will not change for the better and will only continue to get worse. On the other hand if we start to treat our adversaries the same way we want them to treat us. We may open up a whole new world of new possibilities that will bring us to a much better place. The Arc “A Formal Structure for a Palestinian State” is a good example of this. Where it will bring the needed changes to make things better for both sides. Global Crier

Arc & Palestine United Nation Membership is Progress Towards Peace
Amidst everything going on with the Arab Spring in the Middle East. The Israeli government would be in a much better position going forward. Letting the Palestinians gain full United Nation’s membership while supporting the implementation of “the arc” A Formal Structure for a Palestinian State. Giving Palestine full membership status to the United Nations would give them a legitimacy among the international community. Making them equal to any other nation. It would lift the morale of the Palestinian people giving them a victory in restoring their dignity and pride as a recognized nation among the body of the United Nations. The Arc would be a good starting point in the reparation to the Palestinian people for their great losses and hardships over the last sixty plus years. Only by the Israeli government helping create an equal counter partner (the Palestinians) will the Israelis have any chance for peace and security to grow among their neighbors. As long as the Israeli government continues to suppress the Palestinian people keeping them in a depressed state of affairs there will continue to be acts of violence leading to rage and more conflicts. The Israeli governments cooperation on the full implementation of the Arc will help change the realities on the ground for the better on both sides. The Israeli government will have to promise the international community of nations that they will not bomb out the new Palestine infrastructure that they paid for. As the Arc plan is completed, new opportunities will arise on both sides. Many more tourists will come to see the Holy sites in the region. This will bring a lot more new revenue creating prosperity. Neither side can let the lone wolf derail the progress that is made. It will take generations for the hate and contempt that is on both sides to change to tolerance, understanding and trust. If either side waits until they trust the other side progress will never be made towards peace. Global Crier |

The Arc
They spent more than 3 million dollars and four years in the development of this plan. It is a thirty-three billion dollar plan over ten years that addresses the Palestinian issues of transportation, housing, education, commerce, justice and the contiguity of the State of Palestine. It is a very comprehensive plan creating a clear image of a much better way of life for the Palestinian people. Restoring their dignity and hope for a better future for their children is the best first steps towards peace.

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. The Arc is the way for long term peace to become a reality in the Palestinian/Israeli crisis. The challenges are to make the Arc a reality that more people can see, as well as working out the full implementation of the Arc’s plan. The earlier more people get behind a plan like the Arc the sooner it could become a reality. Everyone should write to their elected representatives letting them know about the Arc and your support of the plan. Who could not support such a plan of a way to peace as the arc. Global Crier

Palestinian-Israeli Three Third Settlement Peace Plan.
Today the State of Israel controls 93% of the land in Israel proper. That is lease to Jewish people only through 49 and 98 year leases. The Jewish one third of land will have a different set of by-laws allowing of a more in mix population 1/3 Palestinian and 2/3 Jewish. The same will hold true on the Palestinian one third with 1/3 Jewish and 2/3 Palestinian. With the people on either side being able to apply for dual citizenship. Only by creating the conditions for a mix of Palestinian and Jewish population along the border of the two states will the condition for a long term peace be created.
The most contentious part to both sides and the international community is the Old City of Jerusalem. The Old City of Jerusalem has an international religious significance like no other city in the world where three of the world’s major religions come together. For this reason the State of Jerusalem must be created with a whole new range of by laws creating equal access and security for all. The State of Jerusalem will be run by a council 1/3 Palestinian, 1/3 Israeli and 1/3 from the international community. The Israelis will head up and run the State of Jerusalem security forces that will be made up of 1/3 Israelis, 1/3 Palestinians and 1/3 from the international community. The Jewish settlements that fall into the State of Jerusalem will again be divided 1/3 Jewish, 1/3 Palestinian and 1/3 for the international community. The international community could be people from the universities, churches, the Vatican, the United Nations, European Union, international civic organizations, Arab League, Mosques and Temples from around the world.
It will take great sacrifices by the people on both side with a properly balance social engineering plan implemented for peace to workout. There will always be a small minority on both sides will try to derail any plans for peace because they will not be satisfied until the other side is wiped out. They must be sidelined for the greater good of the majority of people on both sides.

Israel’s Peace Treaty Bought and Paid for by the United States
With the mass media news leads in the United States greatly favoring the Israeli side and in Egypt-Jordan they greatly favoring the Palestinian side. The way the people of Israel and United States see the problems to this life long conflict greatly differers than the Arab people on the streets. This fomenting great hate and anger towards the actions and policies of the State of Israel and the United States. Where the Arab leaders could be paid off with large sums of oil or foreign aid money to overlook the Palestinian situation.
The Old City of Jerusalem being on the frontline of this life long conflict, bringing out the religiously indoctrinated extremists from all sides. There is very little difference between the Israeli Jewish religious extremists and the United States Christian religious extremists and the Arab Islamic religious extremists. They are one of the same when it comes to compromising on their religious beliefs with others often leading to conflicts. Where the political leaders could be bought and paid for to change and compromise their position. The same could not be said about the extremist religious leaders of faith. Creating a cultural divide between the political leaders of nations and the religious conservative people of faith.
Only by all sides having some empathy for the people of the other side will there be an understanding to the truth. So that a balance and fair settlement can be worked out for a peaceful coexistence among people of the different faiths. One cannot dictate their ways onto other people of different faith as we would not want that done to us. That the extremists on all sides have to be addressed and sidelined for the greater good of the whole society.
