ISRAEL IS REAL - a slogan from a holiday brochure Israel- mid 80's Obama , crippled with an unfortunate triple legacy must make reality of his Cairo Rhetoric to sustain any Arab credibility. Obama's Cairo speech was an inspiration to the free world - it threatened only those states still under the oppression of dictators and oligarchs and religious fanatics .( Christian Right - Jewish Ultra Orthodox, Iranian secularism; Islamic Fundamentalism) |

Jump To Comment: 1Well,not quite.National Socialism is what the term stood for,oxymoronic as Roman Catholicism.Socialism is by definition internationalist,so nationalism is a poison at its birth,as catholic means universal,and to localise it to an extension of Roman centralised imperialism sets a toxic lie at its heart.Hence the need for blind unquestioning belief if one is to be 'saved' ,admitted to the party.Orwell knew how central to these totalitarian systems of control the corruption and perversion of language was with its consequent seeds of division and degeneration into sectarian in-fighting and externalised aggression towards a projected enemy.Every 'master race' chosen people need a despised lower order to ensure internal cohesion.From Stalin to Pinochet the terminology and economic ideology may vary but the power equations produce similar pyramidic social structures.As Catherine the great is reputed to have written to one of her French Enlightenment correspondents '..you sir can devise the most extraordinary and productive schemes for the improvement of social conditions.You have the advantage of dealing with paper and ink,while I, unfortunately, can only work with flesh and blood'. Or words to that effect.If we are to get real with Israel we will have to start by getting real with understanding what it is we are dealing with.and we wont do it tillwe have the political balls to get real with America,whether under a Bush or an Obama.
