Understanding the Complexities of Peace in Jerusalem

For my readers, I thank you for your continuing support. The following three critical points must be understood by you before you can see a clear idea what is going on in Israel between Palestine, the United States, and the Middle East. I suggest reading the material highlighted, and also the following two books:

The Masks of God by Joseph Campbell
The Creators by Daniel Boorstin

The following CD⿿s should be listened to, and are available in your public library. If they are not, request them.

The United States and the Middle East, 1914 to 9/11 [sound recording - CD] / Salim Yaqub.


Critical Point Number One: Mesopotamia

Suggested Reading:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M esopotamia

Considered by historians as the cradle of Western Civilization, Mesopotamia, from the Code of Hammurabi, to cuneiform, to the Bible⿿s idea of a Great Flood, the three religions of the West, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, all share there beginnings here. So? Well, that means all three also share the same origins in people, artifacts, and religious lands. That means Palestinians, Israelis, and Christians all revere Jesus, King David, Solomon, Noah, and other Biblical Characters. If you do not understand Mesopotamia, and how all three religions started here, then you will never,ever understand why there has been warfare, dating from the Crusades to present settlement building in Jerusalem.

Critical Point Number Two: The British Empire

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B ritish_empire

⿿The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom, that had originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population at the time,[1] and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km2): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area.[2] As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.⿝

From the late 16th century until World War II, the British Empire ruled some notable territories, including Africa, India, the United States, Australia, and the Middle East. The influence of the British Empire can not be misunderstood, especially in the Middle East when the subject of oil comes into play. British Petroleum, or BP, was a major economic, political, and military force in Iran in the 1940⿿s and 1950⿿s, and still is today.

Critical Point Number Three: The Political Shift of Power and the US / Post World War II

Ok, during the Second War, the United States entered later, just like the First World War. Many will see the bombing of Pearl Harbor as the reason, but Pearl Harbor was bombed after the United States was cutting off the oil to Japan. Since Pearl Harbor was the only physical damage (not counting numerous lives) the US came out the was as a confirmed super power, surpassing Britain, which suffered severely from bombings from the Germans. The Us had to fill the power vacuum that the British Empire left behind.

This must be understood. The US, then had to fill Britain⿿s shoes as a superpower. Jewish refugees from the war, started to flood into British controlled Palestine, from all over the world. Britain didn⿿t have the power to control it, and left the problem to the President of the United States at that time, Herbert Hoover.

President Herbert Hoover was then lobbied by powerful Jewish individuals for the Jewish people to have their land to return to. Between the powerful Jewish lobbyist groups and President Herbert Hoover, the flood of Jewish refugees to British Palestine, the fall of the British Empire, and the memories of the Holocaust, came the result, the creation of Israel.

Tomorrow, the US and the putting the Shah in power.
