Israel connection Well
who'd have thought it? FOR the last five years
Mikheil Saakashvili led Georgia on a path of
militarization in order to curry favor with the
West. Saakashvili, one of the main figures of the
CIA funded "velvet revolution," sought to integrate
the country on a platform of economic
liberalization coupled with a highly militarized
police state. Internationally, Saakashvili positioned Georgia
to be a Western thorn in the Russian sphere,
seeking membership of Nato and arm deals with the
U.S. and Israel. An army of Jewish go-betweens, arm
dealers, policy wonks and diplomats, immediately
sprung ready to sweeten the road to servility with
self-enriching deals. Here
is how Ynet describes it: Israel began selling arms to Georgia
about seven years ago following an initiative by
Georgian citizens who immigrated to Israel and
became businesspeople...."They contacted defense
industry officials and arms dealers and told
them that Georgia had relatively large budgets
and could be interested in purchasing Israeli
weapons," says a source involved in arms
exports. (Ynet,
August 10, 2008) Among this class is no less than Georgia's
defence minister Davit Kezerashvili, a
holder of an Israeli passport whose "perfect
Hebrew" and background opened doors for the
peddlers of Israel's military wares like Milo and
Hirsch. Of course, the U.S. branch of this death
merchants fraternity hasn't been dormant. The press
noted Randy Scheunemann, a McCain
adviser whose resume includes stints in a bevy of
neeocon and arm-dealing fronts and who lobbied for
Georgia in the U.S. But this isn't a matter of this or that person.
Georgia has been a major recipient of U.S. aid,
three quarters of a billion annually. It is buzzing
with U.S. military contractors who train and equip
Georgian troops for a pretty penny. U.S. cold-war
bots discovered in Georgia a major strategic
platform against Russia as soon as the Berlin Wall
collapsed. And Georgia's velvet elites readily
accepted that role as they tried to "pull an
Israel" and become an outpost of "Western
civilization" against Russia (and against their own
Russian citizens). In a pattern that should be alarming, Israel's
"Jewish" politics is recreating a class of Jews
that is lavishly paid for perform international
pariah jobs for their masters. Instead of the
medieval Jewish moneylender, Israel helps produce
the Jewish arms dealer and war promoter as new
emblems of the contemporary Jewish identity.
Israeli politicians wouldn't mind. Making the world
dangerous for Jews simply confirms their Zionist
worldview. What is more unfortunate is that Jewish
community organizations and leaders outside of
Israel are not at all alarmed. Watching how they
jump to justify Israel is like watching a train
wreck in slow motion. As for Georgia, it is another train wreck. And
also a lesson to others. Every country that
receives a lot of U.S. aid will pay for it
dearly. Quoted from Jews sans frontieres Blog -
