Berman: A Question
of Dual Loyalty, a Case For Treason!
On December 15 2010 and with a voice vote, the
US congress voted on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) drafted resolution calling on the Obama administration to block any Palestinian
attempt to declare independent Palestinian state.
The American Congress who tussled for several weeks before passing a bill with
a small margin offering medical treatment to rescue workers at ground zero, or
to extend unemployment insurance to unemployed Americans, in a rare sign of
agreement, succeeded in uniting the two sides of the isle to vote on a resolution
drafted by a foreign lobby, AIPAC institutionalizing US foreign policy and undermining
US interest in the Middle East..
Unlike issues of critical importance to the American people e.g. unemployment
benefits to six million Americans, the vote on an Israeli sponsored resolution sailed
smoothly with a simple voice vote.
I sometimes wonder
if the US Congress represents the interest of the people who vote it to power or
the interest of the money rollers representing a foreign country, like Israel. California representative, the chair of United
States House Committee on Foreign Affairs Howard Berman, made this clearer when
I read a statement he made to a US Jewish publication that he was a Zionist
before being a Democrat. This is the same person who sponsored the Israeli
lobby’s resolution to US Congress.
Did Berman sponsor the
Israeli resolution as a Democrat or as a Zionist? What is the difference
between an elected Zionist and a Zionist employed by the government?
Pollard the Zionist spy
who stole and sold hundreds of thousands of secret US documents to Israel, claimed
in court testimonies that he did it as a committed Zionist. In this case Pollard
too was a Zionist before he was an “American”.
Now the person in
charge of US foreign affairs in the US Congress declares shamelessly that he
was a Zionist before being a Democrat. Does
this mean his loyalty to Zionism takes priority to his party’s affiliation? Just like Pollard who rationalized spying on
his own country for “being” a Zionist. Today Berman uses “legally” his elected position
to advance the interest of Israel, even it that may become detrimental to US
interest.
Like Pollard, an employee
of the Pentagon who attempted to advance the interest of a foreign entity by
passing US secrets, Berman who is chairing the US foreign affairs committee of
the US Congress is heeding a foreign lobby to mandate US policies for the
benefit of a foreign country. The like of Congressman Berman are more dangerous
than Pollard, for the two are loyal Zionists: Pollard undermines his country by
spying directly to the enemy, while the elected Zionists institutionalize US
policies to legitimize serving the interest of a foreign country at the expense
of their supposed country.
Berman is a question
of dual loyalty, a case for treason!
