Kissinger on Israel’s coming demise: Senile, prophetic or merely pragmatic?

Special to WorldTribune.com

Henry Kissinger’s recent statement, that in 10 years Israel will cease to exist, borders on senile. Although one of his staff members denied it, Cindy Adams from New York Post insisted: “Reported to me, Henry Kissinger has stated — and I quote the statement word for word: ‘In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.’ ”

Kissinger is a controversial figure. He can hardly be suspected of excessive sympathy for Israel. He perhaps, inclines to the “syndrome of self-hatred” so fashionable nowadays in the Jewish elite. At the same time, Kissinger is not an exalted pop-diva, cheap populist or rebellious professor. He is an experienced, prudent politician who takes responsibility for his utterance.

What drove him to such a dramatic conclusion? Is there a real and grave threat to Israel?

Let’s try to analyze the situation. The first impression is rather unfavorable. Israel has been in the midst of historic upheaval. The political structure of the Middle East that existed since Camp David agreement has collapsed, forming a giant cloud of dust and chaos, from which the new threatening reality can crystallize.

America under Obama is deserting the Middle East. The future of Europe becomes more vague as it loses its perspective. Iran becomes a regional power with nuclear weapons while Turkey — recently a strategic ally of Israel — craves Ottoman greatness.
Kissinger on Israel’s coming demise: Senile, prophetic or merely pragmatic?

A closer analysis of the situation reveals a different picture — not so bleak. Israel indeed remains an alien, backed-to-the-sea nation in a world of anarchy, religious fanaticism, rioting crowds and insane dictators. Regardless, the country has a strong and viable economy, advanced technology, modern army and flexible democratic system.

On the other hand, the Arab regimes that emerge from the remains of the collapsed autocracies are extremely unstable, as in Egypt. In some cases they will not be able to establish a state in any form for a long time, like in Syria.

They have neither financial nor intellectual resources to challenge Israel. Iran is doomed to sink deeper in the swamp of the Sunni-Shi’ite conflict (Syria and Bahrain are good examples); its economy is unilateral and vulnerable; its armaments are outdated.

A nuclear bomb is an excellent means of blackmail, but its use against Israel — given the nuclear-missile power of the latter — would end the regime and the country itself.

I wouldn't be too quick to call Kissinger wrong — if he made the comment.

Very possible, hopefully the Israelis will nuke the major Muslim Cities into glass on their way out.

US foreign policy guru Zbigniew Brzezinski says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is isolating Israel and “endangering its longer-range future” by attacking the Gaza Strip.

Brezinizki is an old Jew hater.

US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says Israel urgently needs more financial aid from the United States for its offensive against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

And Brezenski is a Commie to boot.

Andrew Wilkow: "Obama is moving the chess pieces toward the destruction of Israel."

Massive demonstrations are occuring all over the world to protest what the Israelis are doing in Gaza.

Of course you won't hear about it from the blondes on Fox or on the Limbaugh Show.

When are there not massive murderous mobs in the Muslim World ?

It's pretty rediculous for Kerry to be running all over the place trying to act like a peacemaker.
All it would take to stop the invasion of Gaza is a phone call from Obama saying we would not
veto a UN resolution to place sanctions on Israel.

seems some have no problem with Hamas launching rockets toward Israel. Oh wait, it never hapened. Hamas are the peace keepers and love everyone.

It happened AFTER Israel initiated air stikes on homes in Gaza. So, are you saying the Israelies have the right to defend themselves but the Palistinians don't?

In 10 years, Israel will have no more enemies"


..fixed it.

[BigTex]

But if they get rid of Israel, what will the anti-semites do?

it has come to the point of the smaller agitator continually hitting the big kid - knowing the big kid can't fight back or he will get in trouble - but the big kid has finally had enough and is kicking the agitator's arse. Israel has stopped listening to the UN telling them to just take it. You make it sound like they are just targeting any random home... the "homes" belong to Hamas leaders.

Dance in the streets and on the internet.

Targeting anyone's home is a war crime according to international law. And it is probably the major reason why the majority of the dead Palistinians are women and children.

Any homes destroyed in Hiroshima?

"In regards to the strategic bombing during World War II, it should be noticed that at the time, there was no international treaty or instrument protecting a civilian population specifically from attack by aircraft,[32] therefore the aerial attacks on civilians were not officially war crimes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes
