lhan Omar, the congresswoman from Minnesota, a 37-year American, once a Somali refugee, was elected for her charisma and devotion to the cause of protecting the true interests and welfare of the common Americans, preserving America’s values and founding principles, and reviving the spirit of the American Constitution, that provides all a gift to all freedom loving people. All her past works and sincerity indicates that she is truly a public servant. She had to prove her leadership and vision every step of the way to get to where she is today.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.

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]
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.

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.

Norman Finkelstein exposes Lies and Frauds as to the Real Cause of the Israel-Palestine conflict
Published on Mar 30, 2016 broadcast in c-span
Norman Finkelstein is the author of “The Holocaust Industry”
“The Images and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VaKLMD9Aac
He is expounding on the fact that Zionists often use three illegitimate arguments to justify colonization of Palestine that are based on lies and fraudulent ideas. By bringing up these fallacious arguments relentlessly and continuously to hide the real issues of the conflict: dispossession and displacement of Palestinians from their homeland, and enforce upon them disenfranchisement
The Zionists have been, using every tactic and every channel possible – capturing the media, threatening the academia, using Jewish scholars and historians to write books with lies, distortions, and funding some big think tanks, working at the grass-root levels such as Churches, the electoral process, lobbying, campaigning, etc. — are covering up the real issues.
Zionists are using biblical claims to justify a nation-state in Palestine for Jews, that most of the Jews disagree. The more Israel became powerful and successful, the more Jews became convinced of Zionism. Historically also the Zionists are portraying inherent differences and conflicts between the Arabs and the Jews. They using renowned historians like Bernard Lewis and writer Samuel Huntington created a narrative of ‘the clash of civilization” between the Arabs and Jews that Finkelstein thinks is a lie and hoax. There is no need for invoking these cosmic reasons, he says, when the real reason is simple and straightforward and paramount. The book of Professor Alan Dershowitz, ‘The Case for Israel’ is nothing but a collection of lies, frauds, and concoction.
Finkelstein says that the cause of Israeli-Palestine conflict is not complicated at all. It is simple and straightforward: Israel is occupying and colonizing the Palestinian land. The conflict is arising from that. The antagonism of the American Indian and their gruesome atrocities towards the while European settlers was also simple: displacement from their land. The Palestinians have the same straightforward reason for their antagonism towards Israel and Zionists: they are being displaced from their own land.
The indigenous population of Palestine feared rightly as it turned out that the success of Zionism would be at their expense. The Israeli-Palestine historian Denny Morris wrote in his book, ‘The Righteous Victims’: “The fear of territorial dispossession and displacement was to be the chief motor of the Arab antagonism to Zionism”. He did not mention anti-Semitism, biblical hatred, or clash of civilization in his reasons for Arab-Israeli conflict. The Arabs feared that the success of Zionism would mean displacement and dispossession of themselves.
Finkelstein says the Holocaust industry emerges soon after the June 1967 war and coincided with the realization of the American Jews that the state of Israel is becoming very powerful.
Every ten years a new narrative of anti-Semitism is concocted by the Zionists to keep the real issue on the back burner.
2000 a new industry emerged with a new conglomerate, the new anti-Semitism with historical memory. With the help of media, every ten years a new version of anti-Semitism is concocted to mislead the public and raise people’s sympathy.
