Gaza: African Leaders Should
Shun Obama, 'Accessory to Terror' (Modern Ghana, Ghana)
"If I were
an African head of state who had gone to Washington to
discuss such security issues with President Obama, I would tell him politely
that I wouldn't accept any help from him because he has made himself an
accessory to terrorism, as inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel. … In
fact, the 'enemy' which Israel is currently 'fighting' in Gaza, Hamas, was
initially created by Israel to act as a foil against genuine Palestinian
freedom fighters."
At a summit which is the first of its kind ever held by an
American leader, President Barack Obama is meeting with nearly 50 African heads
of state in Washington D.C. Among the issues to be raised are trade relations
between Africa and the United States, and, of course, the threats to Africa’s
security that al-Qaeda and its affiliates pose to countries like Nigeria,
Kenya, Mali, and Cameroon. No doubt the U.S. will offer assistance to the
threatened countries in particular, and Africa as a whole, in fighting the
terrorists threatening the lives and limbs of our people.
If I were an African head of state who
had gone to Washington to discuss such security issues with President Obama, I
would tell him politely that I wouldn't accept any help from him because he has
made himself an accessory to terrorism, as inflicted upon the people of Gaza by
Israel.
I would tell him that I understood the determination of the
United States to assist Israel to resist any attempts by its Arab neighbors to
wipe her off the face of the earth. That while the birth of Israel had
displaced millions of Palestinian people, the answer was not to wipe Israel off
the face of the earth, but to try and salvage something of the situation into
which Israel and its Arab neighbors had been placed by the Great Powers. (It
was their selfish desire to accommodate Zionist aspirations that led them to
create the state of Israel in 1948 - and on land that was then inhabited by
Palestinians.)
In doing so, the Great Powers had overnight turned millions
of Palestinians into refugees. Those refugees were forced to live in other Arab
countries, such as Lebanon, which already had their own internal problems. The
Arabs reacted by trying to use war as a means of recapturing the land stolen
from them. They fought in 1948. And they lost. They fought again in 1967. And lost again. They still tried once more – in 1973. And
again, they lost.

What the Arabs did not seem to fully grasp was that in
fighting Israel, they were also fighting the United States. The U.S. didn't do
anything as crude as sending troops to help Israel (though it isn't beyond
belief that they secretly sent "military advisers" to help.) What the
U.S. did do openly was provide Israel with some of the most sophisticated
weaponry in America's arsenal. Plus intelligence gathered by satellites focused
on the Arab-Israeli theatres of war.
Now, if your "secret" military communications are
being sent to your enemy in real time, seconds after you have transmitted them,
you've already lost the war. But the Arabs ignored such realities and somehow believed
they could defeat the American deployment of military prowess on behalf of
Israel, through the help of - possibly - metaphysical entities.
The Arabs were in fact, snookered. The creation of Israel by
the Great Powers was a fait accompli. Wars haven't been able to reverse it, so
a negotiated settlement is the only answer.
However, Israel's current politicians don't want that,
because unless they can dangle the threat of extermination-by-Arabs before the
eyes of the Israeli electorate, they will lose power. Hence the Israeli
penchant to create, through their intelligence organization Mossad,
movements within Arab states like Lebanon, to be used as agents provocateur to
ratchet up incidents that continually remind Israeli voters of the Arab "threat."
Arabs should use political finesse to try and avoid the
traps laid by Israeli politicians, in this regard. Anwar Sadat tried that
approach, but was misunderstood and gunned down.
In fact, the "enemy" which Israel is currently "fighting"
in Gaza, Hamas, was initially created by Israel to act as a foil against
genuine Palestinian freedom fighters. This fact was revealed by The Wall Street Journal on January
24, 2009.
