The real truth is that all this has happened before. The Hasmoneans made an alliance with Rome to help them defeat the post-Alexandrine Greeks. Afterwards, Rome became so closely “allied” that when Herod usurped the Judaean throne, they were only to happy to help him consolidate his power. Then after Herod, they simply took over. When Bar Kochba managed to miraculously have Rome on the run, he tried to form an alliance with the Parthans (now Persia), and the Pathans balked. Rome, which might have made peace with the rebels to preserve their important land bridge, was mortified at this attempt at alliance with a rival empire, and determinidely ground the Judaean rebels into the ground. When the Ottomans decided to dismantle the Jewish Yishuv carefully and expensively built up and established during the 19th Century, the Jewish halutzim formed an alliance with the British. Afterwards in 1939, the British barred all but a few Jewish immigrants, leaving the rest to be slaughtered by the Nazis. The Jewish rebels eventually obtained their independence from the British, and now we’ve found a new ally, Uncle Sugar. It’s time we stopped playing musical allies. The American people are our friends. I was born and raised in America. But our real allies are all around us: Copts, Maronites, Kurds, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, Syrian Christians, Allawites, South Sudanese, India, Cypriot Christians. In brief, all the eastern minorities who are under threat from Islamofascism.
America remains hopelessly isolated from world affairs. Americans continue to believe such nonsense as that news is something that occurs on TV or on other continents; that while 9/11 happened, it won’t happen again; that the wot is over; that Islam is a religion of peace; that there are moderate Muslims; that the West must atone for its imperialism by allowing itself to be dominated, etc., etc., etc. Not all Americans believe this drivel, but those that do are the ones in power now, and even W caused his share of damage. No further alliance is possible under these conditions. An amity between peoples is not an alliance between nations. Britain and the US went to war against each other twice, despite their common language, at that time common origin, and culture. But for a lot of unforeseen factors, there might have been a third war, had the Confederacy persuaded Britain to recognize their government and ally itself with the CSA, which also was bonded with the Union by a common language, culture, and origin. We(Israel)’ve got to stop playing the alliance game. G-d is our only true ally. Powerful states will always look at us as a morsel to be eaten.
