AIPAC’s official response: WAR !

Iran has every right to develop its nuclear program to 20% enrichment levels which will allow it to manage nuclear medicine which is a critical component of treatment regimes for Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and other serious illnesses. The Iranian people have a right to expect that its government provide those services. In fact, Iran is legally bound under a wide range of UN initiatives to seek out every possible opportunity to provide medical help and assistance to its populace. The UN don't just expect that nation states will provide education to increase literacy and civil infrastructure to provide road building, hospitals and other services, they expect that a nation state will do EVERYTHING it can for its people.

The issue here is not about Iran's obligations to its own people, but the issue of extremism and nationalism as it exists in Israel. The attempt by white extremists to build a nationalist project in the heart of Palestine is a failure. They do nothing but encourage and work toward conflict and they have no detectable respect for their own people let alone the peoples of other nation states. Israel is a thug on the international stage and wherever it is present, international peace and law and order is disrupted or destroyed.

It has no democracy in place except that which is staffed by its military and security services, it claims it is a nation of law and order but is populated by Jews that have arrived in Israel not by fleeing persecution, but by fleeing the law of other states because they have engaged in lawbreaking and either been caught or have fled knowing they would be caught if they stayed. When they have done this, they have turned their fugitive status into flight from non existent persecution.

Every single one of its Prime Ministers since its inception in 1948 bar one are military extremists with a long history of personally taking part in the killing of Palestinians. And they wonder why Palestinians hesitate to negotiate politically with them. After they wonder about it, they then turn that wonder to blaming the Palestinians themselves for failing to negotiate with their own murderers.

And now they say that Iran has no right to develop nuclear medicine. That the Iranian people must live in the very same careless and irresponsible squalor that these lawless Israeli extremists have imposed upon the Palestinian people?

1. Israel has no nuclear weapons program, just a nuclear weapons propaganda program.
2, Israel is not an economic power house and were it not for American subsidies, it would have no functioning economy at all.
3. Israeli extremists are eclipsed in every way by superior Islamic scholarship throughout history, who cares if Jews have won the Nobel prize more times than others, how many of them were Israeli nationalists?
4. Israel is no Middle-Eastern superpower - that is a limited western concept and even then, only exists because it is driven by American imperialism.
5. Israel is not respectful of ethnicity - ask any Arab who now has to compulsory serve in the military persecuting their own families, just so Israeli extremist leaders can pretend they have Palestinian support.
6. Israeli extremists all around the world claim that all Jews support them in their project, yet the majority of all Jews do not live in and will not move to Israel, because they know they are safer where they are.
7. Israeli extremists are the leading progenitor of anti-semitism in the world today, in service to forcing Jews to feel so unsafe in their current homes, that they will "willingly" flee to Israel. There has not been so much as a single day since 1948, when Israeli extremists were not fully using this polemic.
8. Israeli extremists and nationalists maintain a state of rigid economic stagnation throughout the entire region by crafting an endless state of insecurity with Palestinians and Islam as a religious order. They then have the audacity to claim that Islam is medieval because its is economically under-performing.
9. Israeli extremists and nationalists disrupt and harm the media of its supporters and friends the United Kingdom, United States and beyond by continuously sowing anti-Islamic propaganda in the pages of what should be our "free" media. That is not who we are, and being presented as though we are allied with extremism harms our sense of national cohesion and undermines our economic output. It makes us look bad around the world.
10. Israeli extremists that claim Israel exists to protect the Jewish people from Genocide, have used all of the tools of Genocide to make their current project. Ethnic cleansing, racism, subjective employment doctrine, judicial favouritism, segregation, political exclusion, violence, murder, extra judicial killings, extra judicial shootings.

And last but certainly not least, the last port of call in what is a subject that is now known all around the world for its squalor.

Israel is an extremist national failure in which even under its own terms, it is tiny in comparison to every one of its neighbours. Israel has a population of between 4 - 6 million and territorially, anywhere from one quarter to one third of those are not Jewish. No established nation state of any size anywhere in the world has anything whatsoever to gain from supporting it at the expense of much larger nation states that are far more significant geo-strategically. It makes no sense whatsoever, to support Israel at the expense of the far larger and far more prosperous Iran.

It is time for the United States and United Kingdom to grow up and accept the reality of this situation, and put to bed the notion that we should act on the international stage in an irrational and incoherent manner just to maintain a small nationalist and extremist enclave whose only purpose has ever been to re-ignite some spurious and deluded ideology that died naturally many centuries ago.
