Last Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech in the House Chamber in Washington D.C. for those that are attuned to the movement of the players on the geopolitical chessboard, not only is it easy to see that Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu is more than willing to reduce the soldiers of the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) to an American proxy military force, but PM Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers under his command to do so.
We can say this because like the rest of those in the know around the world, Israel will never be able to defeat Hamas or Hezbollah. We know this to be true because both Hamas and Hezbollah have no fear of death, but because the entire world has seen this situation before in the American led wars within Afghanistan and Iraq. In short, there’s simply no defeating an ideology as it is a psychological contagion that can’t be contained.
During the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu speech last Wednesday, he stated the following:
“America aided Israel with generous military assistance and a grateful Israel has provided America with critical intelligence that saved many lives. We have jointly developed some of the most sophisticated weapons on earth and we also help keep American boots off the ground while protecting our shared interest.”
“Fast tracking U.S. military aid can dramatically expedite and end the war in Gaza and help prevent a broader war in the Middle Eastern World.
“World War 2 as Britain fought on the frontline of civilization, Winston Churchill appealed to Americans with these famous words: “give us the tools and we will finish the job”; today as Israel fights on the frontline of civilization I too appeal to America with the same words: “Give us the tools faster and we'll finish the job faster.”
These series of statements render several questions with the first being: “What kind of backdoor talks and agreement were made that made PM Benjamin Netanyahu that made him feel as if the U.S. actually needs him to fight on their behalf?” This is a good question considering that he made the statement that the United States has a superior military force (those in the know, know that that’s not true.) Secondly, why would the U.S. have any strategic interest in an area that is the size of New Jersey on the other side of the world?” Many people would answer that question by stating it’s the vast amounts of oil in the area. As speculative as that may seem – is probably true.
But true or not, there’s one thing that remains constant and that is, it appears that Israel needs America, but just as Israel needs America, America needs Israel to drag it into a war. Why? We speculate that war is good for business – specifically good business for the American Military Industrial Complex. Adding insult to injury it can also be said that PM Benjamin Netanyahu needs America, because if he doesn’t have America's military support – he will have to face the wrath of the majority of Israeli people that want to oust him as a Prime Minister.
