Israel Threatens “Punishment” Against the US

Similar in appearance to some KGB-produced indictment that in darker times would have been used in charging, convicting and then executing an individual classified as an enemy of the state, the 11-page letter written and then personally given to Netanyahu by his colleague asserts that the new America governed by President Obama has now become “hostile” to the Jewish state.

By insisting Israel abide by the same international law that other countries are invaded and then destroyed for flouting, Peled maintains that a “turning point” has arrived in America’s approach to the region and especially “to Israel“ and that “the new diplomatic slant” being used to “pacify the Muslim world” and the adoption of a more balanced approach to Israel” constitutes a clear and present danger to the Jewish state that must be met with action.

If the mere suggestion of Israel biting the hand that feeds her is surreal in and of itself, the actual mechanics he suggests in bringing it about is downright Stephen Spielbergian in its madness. Included among Peled’s recommendations is that the Jewish state should go shopping for a new supplier of military goods, the sale of “sensitive” equipment that Washington opposes distributing internationally, and allowing other “competing” countries to “get involved with the peace process” and be given “a foothold for their military forces and intelligence agencies”.
