Another "Expert" Opinion On Our Relationship With Israel

Another "expert" opinion on why we should extricate ourselves from Israel. Where do I begin to detail just how perverse this line of thinking is? Why does the foreign policy establishment continually fail to grasp that the global jihad is based on an ideology that’s been in practice for 1400 years? What will it take for them to finally awaken to the fact that altering our foreign policy to further appease islam and throw Israel to the wolves will not bring us safety and security. There are no alliances to be had between islam and infidels except that of our total submission to them. Europe has had an anti-Israel, pro-islam foreign policy in place for decades, at least since the Yom Kippur war, and far from guaranteeing its security, Europe is in far greater danger from jihad than we are. Yet this fact goes completely over the heads of George Freidman and so many members of the foreign policy establishment. These people need to be immersed in islamic history.

Strategy site to Obama: End alliance with Israel

World Tribune

WASHINGTON — A newsletter-publisher said to have ties with the Obama administration has called on Washington to end its strategic alliance with Israel.

George Friedman, publisher of Stratfor, has published a book that called on the Obama administration to reorder U.S. foreign policy. Friedman has argued that the key element of the proposal required the end of U.S. strategic ties with Israel and bolstering of cooperation with the Islamic world, particularly Iran and Pakistan.

“The United States must quietly distance itself from Israel,” Friedman says in his book, titled “The Next Decade.” “It must strengthen — or at least put an end to weakening — Pakistan.”

This marked the second U.S. strategist to call for a revision of Washington’s alliance with Israel. Last year, a former consultant to Obama, Anthony Cordesman, argued that the U.S. strategic alliance with Israel was harming Washington’s interests in the Middle East, Middle East Newsline reported.

Friedman’s organization includes former intelligence officials and enjoys ties with the Obama administration, Middle East Newsline reported.

Acknowledging that his proposal would be regarded as controversial, Friedman said under Obama and former President George Bush, Washington has been in a confrontation with the Islamic world, which consists of one billion people, as part of the “obsessive” U.S. war against Al Qaida.

U.S. war against al qaida? Isn't it al qaida and other jihadist groups who are waging war against us?

Instead, a U.S. withdrawal of support for Israel, which receives $3 billion a year in American aid, would restore balance in the Middle East, Friedman argued. He said Washington’s recent policy has destabilized the region as well as bolstered Indian dominance of Pakistan.

Why is Indian dominance over Pakistan considered by Freidman to be a bad thing? Why would we want to strengthen a sharia, terror-supporting state and let it be dominant over or equal to our democratic ally India? Read the rest

Withdrawing support to Israel and being an ally to Islamic countries wouldn't do much good to US. Friedman should not forget that most of the terrorist activities against US were done by Islamic terrorists. Will it be rational to be friends with those who try to hurt us?
