The "War on Terrorism" is a complete fraud, a lie.

If they were serious about winning this war, here's my simple proposal:

Israel has, on many well-documented occasions, committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. It has violated international law and defied numerous UN resolutions. It manufactures chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, as well as a sophisticated technology for delivering them anywhere in the world. Its settlement policies in the illegally occupied territories endanger the continued existence of the Palestinian people. For all these reasons, Israel is a rogue state and should be treated accordingly. We therefore demand that all nations should:

-- immediately cease all assistance to Israel, military, economic, and 'humanitarian';

-- impose a total trade embargo, including a ban on all transfer of funds to Israel;

-- freeze all Israeli accounts abroad;

-- sever diplomatic relations;

-- cut air links;

-- and cut all cultural, academic, and scientific exchanges.

--Give Israel 90 days to evacuate every trace of military or "settler" presence in the Occupied Territories, or else America will forge diplomatic and military alliances with all arab states that border Israel as geographically defined in 1966.

In addition,

The United States should inform the Israeli government that any use of nuclear weapons, strategic or tactical, will be met by an overwhelming response in kind.

The United States should form a coalition including Arab and Muslim states to contain Israel along the lines of the coalition to contain Iraq during the Gulf War.

Notice how moderate this is: nothing questioning Israel's right to exist, nothing about the Palestinians' right of return, nothing about prosecutions for war crimes, no endorsement of Palestinian violence. How many leftish Jewish notables would sign such a statement? My guess is two, at most. But how many non-Jewish notables would do so? My guess is ten, proportionately fewer than among the Jews. If so, it is a testimony, not to Jewish power, but to American insularity, laziness and cowardice.

If that were done, Americans would never need to worry about "terrorism" (which is just a lie, used to dehumanize the enemy in an asymmetrical war of Imperialism) ever again.

It's that simple.
