Isreali and Egyptian armies love US taxpayer dollars

Corruption, endemic in Israel's political culture, has rapidly seeped into the military." - Jonathan Cook

Dear friends,

The enterprise called Israel that resides under the banner of political Zionism, in part, admits to its suspicious legitimacy due to its “peace” contract with Egyptian rulers. Consequently, the here-to-mentioned corrupt enterprise has great stakes in the outcome of the current revolt by Egyptian citizens.

Moreover, for all of the brave words of “freedom and democracy” that, particularly, North American politicians love to bandy about, it is, perhaps, instructive for us to ask: What role will the threat capability (i.e., the military) of Western governments play, along with their allies in Northern Africa and the Middle East, if there is any hope for democratic institutions to flourish in Egypt? That is an especially important question since the very essence of democracy is “non-violent conflict resolution”. Simply having a one person/one vote forum has nothing to do with democracy. Let’s face it. You can have the right to vote in a tyranny, and often do these days. After all, Iraqis had the right to vote under Saddam Hussein. Did they not?

Nevertheless, on the link below, the renowned journalist Jonathan Cook, at least to me, provides a clearer picture than traditional Western journalists do, regarding that whole mess. Cheers!
