So, The Israelis Control U.S. Middle East Policy. But Are They Wise?

Observed on New York’s Upper East Side, November 2023

The weekend of February 28^th/March 1^st when Iran was attacked has been a moment of epiphany for many. No longer can a key geopolitical fact be denied: American foreign policy in the Middle East is controlled by Israel and diaspora Zionist allies.

Many of us have been aware of this for years. However saying it was extremely dangerous, let alone unprofitable.

But this fact being established, an even more crucial question arises: Do the Israelis/Zionist/Jews have good political judgement? Could they be driving us into a disaster?

This is a question concerning strategy and the long term. There is no doubt the Jewish community is extremely effective at achieving its short term objectives.

Emancipation of the Jews was achieved in Europe during the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars (say 1780-1815). Only after that was Jewish community influence in the broad political life of nations a factor. Prior to that influence was exercised directly with monarchs, usually by bribery.

So this gives us only about two centuries in which mass Jewish political involvement can be evaluated. The results are uniformly catastrophic.
