The foreign policy of USA is intimately connected with Israel. Following World War Two, the keepers of political and economic power in the USA designed to further efforts toward dominance of global economics and politics.

There is a lot of support for divestment, and in that environment I think it is critical for people to keep in mind the bigger picture, which is of a long and calculated strategy of geo-political dominance led by keepers of political power.

For example, dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were one part of the effort to dominate the globe (through a beating to the punch, and alienation, of the USSR as a potential partner in resolving conflict in the Pacific Rim. There are numerous credible scholarly articles that suggest the bombs were unnecessary toward ending the war, and did not save lives overall, but were instead intended to exert dominance through violence. (Also interesting to note is that discussions relating to development of the bomb as a weapon, leading up to the use of the bomb, were held at the Bohemian Grove.))

And I believe that the creation of the state of Israel, in a mold of explicit militarism, was another part of design for global dominance.

I think that the USA exploits Israel, and preys upon Jewish sentiments of nationalism—and Jewish people's need to feel safe and secure in the aftermath of the Holocaust—in order to exert economic and political control.

That's why I am linking to the following very important article by Avi Schlaim, which appeared in The Guardian in January 2009.

This article is important because the author discusses differences between Britain and the USA over the selection of leaders whom were considered by some to be "unscrupulous" and militaristic.
