“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” “The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.” “You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.” “There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.” “No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.” “You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.” It was this last quote that may well have pushed the Times of Israel to note, finally, that Israel’s “dream world” may be coming to an end. THE “APARTHEID BOMB” Censored from news around the world, edited from broadcasts, the July 25, 2013, Times of Israel drops the “Apartheid Bomb,” the first time this term has been used with authority. On the dais with Mattis was CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, coined “the voice of the Mossad” by author Jeff Gates. From the Times of Israel: “Mattis then described a hypothetical in which 500 Jewish settlers live among 10,000 Arabs, and the implications of where Israel draws the border. He called it a choice between giving up the idea of a Jewish state or becoming an apartheid state.” The message of the destructive role of Israel’s illegal settlements, not just in territories occupied after the 1967 war but in violation of the 1949 Armistice Demarcation Lines as well, territory guaranteed as “Arab only,” making up nearly one third of Israel’s legally accepted borders. Over 95% of that territory has been seized and its Palestinian population “ethnically cleansed.” Thus, Mattis’s statement on “apartheid” when place in the context of his strong support of Secretary of State John Kerry’s current initiatives, places additional pressure on Israel, pressure not seen since the Carter presidency. When taken with European Union moves in July, a vote authorizing broad trade sanctions against Israeli entities located on Arab land, not just those termed “occupied territories,” Mattis use of “unsustainable” to describe Israel’s future is meant to be a “wake up call” for a nation Mattis clearly believes has been living in a “dream world.” veteranstoday/2013/08/04/top-american-general-cites-israel-as-unsustainable-and-apartheid/
