Agree that neocons have been ascendant in driving U.S. foreign policy since at least 2000 with the exception of a few years respite. American neocons dominate both political parties now, with superannuated NATO. I disagree that Netanyahu and Israel are in control or even major participants, not this time. Here's why:
In November 2022, U.N. gen assembly proposed resolution to hold Russia accountable for war in Ukraine and paying reparations. 94 countries were in favor of. 87 countries were not, including Israel, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. Russia has become increasingly important as an ally especially with Syria.
With respect, Ellie, in my opinion it is the selection of members and the voting in both houses that determines control, the thousands of political attendances at AIPAC conferences, the monies and weapon systems allocated to Israel, and the never ending visits by Congressman and Congresswomen to that country. Let us not even mention the 29 standing ovations for a visit by Netanyahu. We should also add the never ending support given to apartheid Israel by the US in the United Nations together with the acceptance of the 400+ nuclear warheads located in Dimona. Never a mention of this arsenal. in the halls of power in Washington.
Yes. I do understand the vote with Israel by so many middle eastern countries. The long term objective of Israel to fulfil their plans for "Eretz Israel" has made it so important for them to maintain a working relationship in that part of the globe, large portions of so many of those countries being part of Israel's plans for ultimate ownership, those areas know as being located in the geography known from " the Euphrates to the Nile". The developing feeling at last in the UN towards Israel's occupation and its cruelty towards Palestinians means that this will never happen, in my considered opinion. The groundswell against this occupation when added to the arrogant makeup of the new Netanyahu government will now not be acceptable to the world.
Not before time.
Finally, and I am somewhat unsure of the exact figure here but at the level of senior public servants providing the feeble Biden with his ongoing plans for hegemonic control of the globe, over 60 % appear to be Neocons, with the very senior advisors rating even higher. I draw your attention the the likes of Blinken and Nuland.
Hard to overcome that level of influence if you are a weak individual controlled as he is by the military complex, big business in the form of BlackRock, Vanguard and others together with those same corridors of power populated with Neocons.
Oh dear Lord, yes, Vicky Nuland, her horrible Kagan husband, and the venture capital LLC where former Obama administration staff swung through the revolving door and reappeared 4 years later. I don't know what's wrong with Blinken: there's no there there for a Secretary of State. McKinsey Mayor Pete doesn't care about rail workers, nor that most Americans can't afford electric cars. SEC chair Gensler was Hillary's campaign manager, and ALL of them, Dem and GOP, accepted donations from Scam Bankrupt-Fraud. (Except Beto O'Rourke! He immediately returned a $1 million campaign donation from FTX).
I haven't been as aware of AIPAC as I should be. The junkets and dual citizenships of many US senators, including Bernie, is very bad. During the 2nd Obama admin, Yellen was chair of the Federal Reserve, with Stanley Fischer as vice-chair. Fischer is an Israeli citizen! Yet plenty of people I knew wanted him to be chair of our Federal Reserve. It is insane.
Zelenskyy refused to vote against the UN General Assembly resolution on occupation of Palestinian territories - reason is that Jerusalem has not supplied Kiev with air defenses
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call late Friday asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution that calls on the International Court of Justice to issue a legal opinion on the consequences of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, Ukrainian and Israeli officials told Axios.
Ukraine had voted in favor of the resolution during a UN committee vote but did not attend Friday's General Assembly vote "in order to give a chance to the relationship with Netanyahu," the Ukrainian official said.
Zelenskyy ignored Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's request to vote against the resolution on the occupation of the Palestinian territories. The reason was that in the opinion of the leaders of the Kiev regime, the country did not supply Kiev with enough weapons and air defence systems, Axios wrote with a reference to the Ukrainian officials.
The resolution itself was introduced by Palestine, it was adopted on December 30, and Netanyahu spoke to all the leaders of the countries who expressed support. In the end, as the paper specifies, Zelenskyy went in for de facto blackmail: he wanted to hear what preferences Kiev would receive if it voted against it. In his turn, the Israeli prime minister promised nothing but expressed his readiness to negotiate in the future.
