On President Obama's Effort to Destabilize North Africa, the Middle East & Israel-Palestinian Borders

President Obama's recent Israeli-Palestinian policy speech with unhelpful references to pre-67 Arab-Israeli war borders was billed as a way to get negotiations going again. That sumptuous table politicians are always referring to about which they sit to swap land and get Nobel prizes is more realistic for people in Washington D.C. sometimes than for those living within the lands affected. The middle-east today is as unstable as it has been since before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, and President Obama has encouraged that instability since making his speech in Cairo shortly after taking office.

Mr. Obama may be indoctrinated in a corporate and Internet version of demographic and sales region based corporatism instead of land and rights based democracy. A half billion Facebook users logged into cyberspace data bit packets own by a private corporation may present an appearance of democracy, yet its maximum potential is to exchange information rather like teleporting information on the polarization state of a photon to a distant entangled photon rather than the photon itself.

In the ersatz corporate mirage democracy the signed in may express opinions equally until the benevolent corporate dictator decides it useful to declare martial law and close them down or at least send the user into exile while confiscating use of data.

North Africa and the Moslem world has greater natural resources and potential worker and sales demographics than Israel to the corporate mind investing in a popular Moslem twitterizing era of change.

Democracies are fairly new in history. They really only got going much in the late 18th century besides the ancient world and a few other brief ventures in Holland and Firenza. Democracies closely defend the real interests of citizens to land and security-items that tend to disappear under the assaults of mob rule, concentrated wealth and power directing both.

The Obama administration has encouraged change in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen and obviously Iraq and Lebanon too have instabilities internally as well. During this unresolved political era in which new balances amongst nations and sects have not formed or finalized it seems essentially unrealistic to expect a final Israeli-Palestinian boundary status. Not even the Palestinian polity has achieved a final status with the issue of the Hamas terror organization arisen to evolve beyond the agreements signed off on by the P.L.O. and Palestinian Authority.

The relationship of any future potential Palestinian state to its neighbors is entirely theoretical rather than realistic. In Syria for instance, an eventual change to a Sunni Moslem Brotherhood government would create synergy with the Sunni Palestinians and Moslem Brotherhood Egypt presenting grave national security threats for Israel regardless of whatever sort of land swapping the Israelis may have done with Palestinians in the past. A young, aggressive, envious Sunni entity surrounding Israel and financed by Sunni oil wealth from Saudi Arabia, Libya and Iraq would obviously once again seek to flex its muscles against the 67 borders of Israel just as it once had and swap a Jewish Israel for a Sunni Palestine.

Finding stable political structures in the Moslem middle east is the challenge ahead. If the youthful middle east (its just a billion years old and humanity only reached it about 150,000 years ago) ever evolves smart democratic politics with implicit political stability and strong individual rights instead of dumb mob rule via instant Internet action there might develop some form of social ethic and trust that allows Christians and Jews to live in the region without their churches being burned or tour busses machine gunned. Maybe Moslem radicals won't even send suicide bombers to church or synagogue picnics in Israel if given the chance. When such a peaceful social environment arises many of the real social problems in the middle east may naturally wither away.

Finding a realistic way to discontinue Palestinian terrorism and Moslem war upon Israel means that the United States must support Israel's present land positions and advocate internal change in Palestinian socialization and social institutions that bring a change in the way Palestinians think about Israel. Perhaps some sort of permanent Christian evangelization crusade could help them to learn the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ who walked the land of Judah two-thousand years ago. His answers the to the problems of the region are the same, correct answer to the problems now.

President Obama's belief that adding chaos to the already moderately chaotic North African and middle east boundaries status asking for change when change into national instability is already pervasive seems an unrealistic way to work for peace and prosperity. In my opinion his December 2010 decision to become a cheerleader for opposition party tax cuts for the rich extending for two years was also an unrealistic policy leading to very weak negotiating positions for his own Democratic Party. Israel now my need to strengthen its status and wait five years for the confusion amongst middle east neighbors to settle down and form new balances before it tries to sign ephemeral agreements with temporary parties and leaders in the Moslem world that may present the Kowabunga dude visage of unreliability for each agreement signed that gives up land for 'peace' before the next round of terror arises to demand more land for 'peace'.
