Dulles Brothers and CIA led America to lose Moral Integrity before the World

The Cold War, Dulles Brothers, & Military

An alarming erosion of Governmental ethics took place once the Cold War started in the early 1950s. Facing the expansionist policies of the Soviet Union and China posing the threats of nuclear confrontations and the complexities of the war, the nation initially remained submissive and silent regarding the policies Washington took for a while. Taking full advantage of that public acceptance and complacency and the vulnerability of the nation, a group of war-hawks and elites emerged extremely powerful to promote militarism, confrontation, and American hegemony in the world. They did not like the ‘containment policy’ that called for restraint and measured responses to contain the expansions of the communist bloc.

America’s massive military aid to Israel to win the 1967 Middle East War was a Blunder

1967 Middle East War was a Turning Point for Israel

The pro-Israeli groups failed to convince Kennedy to give Israel unconditional support. Kennedy understood Israel’s ambition to dominate the region. He, on the other hand, wanted to strike a balance by keeping a good relationship with the Arab states. He realized, now known from the released archive documents, to help many underdevelopment countries including those of the Middle East was the most effective way confronting Communism. After the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, President Kennedy, realizing the existential threats posed by a nuclear confrontation,  wanted to cut down America’s own military spending and start a diplomatic relationship with the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba to end the Cold War soon. All these threatened the military-industrial-complex and its close allies, the pro-Israeli groups, and big businesses. Kennedy was the last US president to refuse to provide Israel with vast military aid it was urging America to provide; after his assassination “the faucet was fully open,” said Ilan Pappe. Oliver Stone had a ground to allude to an Israeli connection to the President’s murder in his film JFK.

American Militarism and Imperial Agenda Caused the Vietnam War

The Vietnam War could have been avoided

Initially, Ho Chi Minh was very impressed with the leaders like Wilson and FDR and their pro-people, anti-colonial agenda, then the way America completed the Marshall Plan in rebuilding Europe and Japan after the devastation of the World War II, and most of all the way America gave independence to the Philippines in 1946. In declaring independence of Vietnam from the French colonial rule in 1945 Ho used the American Declaration of Independence verbatim. [note]Kinzer, The Brothers, p.177-179[/note]

Gideon Levy says American public, not the government, is the only hope for peace in the Middle East

Gideon Levy lecture at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March 2018.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQS-_9K5-Dk&t=1158s

He emphatically says the followings:

Israel is not a democracy.

S

peaking on the eve of the AIPAC summit in Washington DC, Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy says that across the mainstream Israeli political spectrum, there has never been a challenge to the occupation of Palestinian land.

Israel is the most brutal, cruel tyranny in the occupied area. Israel’s own 20% Arab minority face the most horrendous ‘discrimination in every possible aspect of life’ except the voting right. Israel is a totally segregated society. Therefore, Israel cannot be a democracy.

The Likud Party and the pro-Israeli groups like AIPAC are doing an enormous disservice to Israel as these ‘enemies’ in the disguise of friends are leading the people to live self-delusional and self-deceiving lives with a false sense of civility and democracy while the nation is losing rationality and humanity completely.
