  1. America had done very well by helping to end the Second World War. She contributed in creating the UNO. generously provided economic assistance to revive Japanese economy, liberating South Korea from the Soviet influenced North, transformed Taiwan into a first world economic showcase, stabilised Europe with the introduction of democracy, freed all countries, big and small, from European Colonialists and the American President Eisenhower was about to help transformation of the Middle East into the Western model of democracy by which America stood to gain economic rewards undreamed of before. Here enters Israel and it soured and it upturned the chess board. Israel has finally proved to America as a dog in the manger. America still is a young nation. Its founding fathers had fashioned it as a role model to the world. Its economic system is used universally with Chinese Deg Xiaoping embracing it in place of the state-run system. Now America is faced with the malaise and an open sore called Israel. On one side lies the mouth watering untapped mineral and economic resources of the Muslim world waiting to be explored to the mutual interest of both parties and on the other stands as a roadblock tiny Israel like a hot potato. Israel is already doomed as we shall see how. That the argument of Zionists to have a homeland for the Jews I quite understandable and not to be denied. But to establish it in the holy land required validation from the Hebrew God. It is here that the Zionists made the biggest blunder. Obviously, the Zionists viewed that Hebrew God as not so accommodating to the umpteen iniquities of the Judaism but rather hostile to them throughout Judaism’s long history. So they decided to get rid of Him once for all. And that is what the founding father David Ben Gurion did at the founding ceremony. He replaced affirmation of faith from God to tan abstract symbol, “The Rock of Israel.” Judaism has seen God’s wrath so frequently and occasionally that this wrongdoing seems even surpassing the Golden Calf. America must beware of this anomaly before it too might be caught n the maelstrom waiting to happen in the holy land. The Al Qaida and the Taliban as well as all Jihadi terrorist organisations are likely to disintegrate and disappear with the meltdown of Israel.
