Israeli and Indian Worries over President Obama’s Policy Shift PDF Print E-mail
Written by By Zaheerul Hassan   

altUS President Barack Obama recently visited several Arab countries. He tried to restore the tarnished American image. He disavowed the Bush Policies towards Iran and Iraq. His major focus during the visit remained Palestine, Israel, Iraq and Iran. He showed a mature and sensible behaviour while facing the Arab media. During his visit no importance was given to the Afghanistan. The trip on the other hand will help President Obama's administration in formulating foreign and policies. The likely change and shift in President Obama's policies is not being digested by Israel and her ally India; since both are working to destabilise the Muslim world. It has become a obvious that India and Israel have a penchant for opening new fronts generally against their neighbours.

 

Though Israel has remained successful in using Bush against Muslim world after 9/11, but slowly and gradually serious circles of Washington has started thinking that World Trade Center has actually been targeted by Jews. Even on  November 30The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera publishes an interview with Francesco Cossiga, in which the former Italian President stated that it was well known in intelligence circles that the 9/11 attacks were planned and released by Zionists, the Mossad, and the CIA.  Any how the current tour of Arab world was viewed by India and her ally Israel with much more concern. The panic in both the countries is quite visible. For example according to the Israel's Channel One TV reported that Netanyahu was told recently by an "American official" in Jerusalem that, "We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere." The report said Netanyahu's aides interpreted this as a "threat." The Israeli TV newscasters also showed Obama relaxed with his shoes t on the table of his Oval Office, while talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The gesture of President Obama was perceived as an "insult" to Israel.  Netanyahu and his Jewish nation should know that Obama has not thrown his shoe at Israel;  as was done last year by an Iraqi journalist on Bush.

 

As regards to the Asian front, US has been pressurizing the Indian government to start a dialogue with Pakistan with a view to resolving Kashmir issue India and her westerns allies know that Kashmir is the only major burning issue between the two South Asian's nuclear states; and without settling it regional peace is not possible. They also know that Kashmir is not fully under Indian or Pakistani control, though they both have laid claims to it.  Kashmir is a flashpoint for both nuclear-armed countries. The rivalry of India and Pakistan has been at the centre of regional tensions for decades. Washington and her Western allies also know that India is trying to exploit turmoil in Pakhtoonkhwa (NWFP) province of Pakistan. Moreover, New Delhi is perturbed over Pakistan Army's success in destroying the militancy in Swat and Dir. Indian intelligence agencies and units of gurkhas in civilian disguise are masquerading as Pakistani Talibans and fomenting rebellion in North Western Area (FATA) and Balochistan. President Obama's government should be conscious of the facts that its tacit support to India and some militants of Balochistan and NWFP is creating a strong reaction against America, among the Pakistani masses and officials.  In this context  Haji Turkistan Betani, a former close aide of Baitullah Mahsud, has disclosed that assassination of Benazir Bhutto was plotted by Baitullah Mehsud, who is suspected of being an American agent, since he was freed from Guantanamo Bay and giving total freedom to operate under the watchful eyes of the U.S. drones.  The question we in Pakistan ask, why  Mehsud has not been targeted by the US drones? If he is not a U.S. agent, he is worse than those Taliban, who attack the U.S. forces and he has killed hundreds of Pakistani soldiers and civilians. Is not Pakistan a U.S. ally and a frontline state in the War on Terror? Or is it double standard or better yet backstabbing and hypocrisy?

 

It is also notable here that American and Western countries interests do not coincides with one another. Western block has the desire to just eradicate the militancy from the area; whereas Americans wish is to stay in the region for longer duration for the completion of her ultimate aim of containing China and capturing CAR's resources. NATO's countries expect to leave the Afghan region; as early as possible since their economies are terribly being threatened on each passing day. Thus Pakistan actions are in harmony NATOs point of view.

 

However, the troika of India, Israel and US didn't border about the Western concern and differences with regard to war against terror and policy in Middle East. The troika activated her open and covert plans in Pakistan and Gaza.  ISI has unveiled the RAW, CIA and Mossad's plan of breaking Pakistan and Pakistan Security Forces has came out to nip the evil in bud. The conspiracy against Pakistan could be confirmed from the revealing details, (one) recovering US manufactured weapons from the arrested Taliban, (two) ISAF's silence over terrorists border crossing, (three) presence  of anti Pakistan Baloch leaders in Afghanistan and silence of America, (four) continuous propaganda against Pakistan nuke programme, security forces and intelligence agencies, (five) Israel - India nexus, (six ) US and her watch dogs stillness over Indian nuke proliferation cases and recent murder of senior scientist and last but not the least  US refusal of provision of  latest equipment and drones to Islamabad which would have been helpful in elimination of terrorists .

 

The above discussion reveals that President Obama's speech of Arab world is not matching to the on ground security situation in South Asia and Middle East. Though Israel and India displayed their concern and worries over President Obama's words and likely slight shift in policies, but on the whole need not to be fretted since CIA doesn't implement her government's instructions. CIA and RAW are both functioning on the principle of state in a state and are least pushed about their respective government's policies. Thus, if present American government is serious in implementation of his president's thoughts then she has to control CIA and stop backing Israel and India. Washington should try to restore her image in the Muslim world through actions and exert pressure over Israel and India to settle their regional issues immediately in the light of UNO's resolutions. American administration has to forego and review the former administration policies.

 

According to the strategic affairs analysts, American think-tanks and former diplomats, the central fear to India is that Obama and his Western allies will become more involved in efforts to urge her to find a solution to Kashmir as part of a broader strategy to bring stability to Pakistan and Afghanistan. More of the Western countries are also in the opinion that Kashmir would rid the region of one of its chief sources of Islamist militant recruitment. Similarly, Israel should also be forced to vacate complete west bank.  Tension between the U.S. and Israel is flaring, particularly over new building in the said Bank too. The Obama administration has been clear that it wants to see a complete halt to new settlements despite Israeli reluctance to compromise the situation. The Israeli and Indian school leaders will never listens much to Obama. However Us president speech has provided chances to rest of the world and think - thanks  those are struggling for establishing permanent peace in the world.

 

The world should be aware of the facts that Pakistan has suffered more terrorist attacks and greater toll of death and destruction than any other in the world. Our rival always staged dramas to divert the world attention whenever she feels that world opinion are likely to change in favour of Pakistan. Recent series of terrorists' attacks in Pakistan has clear cut indication of Indian hands. The currant situation of Balochistan and killing of locals is being carried out directly by the RAW planted Braham Dagh Bugti who is sitting in American's controlled Afghanistan.

 

 The Involvement of Indians in fanning unrest/ supporting separatist elements in Balochistan is an open secret. Braham Dagh Bugti is openly supported by Indians and has established Ferrari Camps in Balochistan/Afghanistan in connivance with RAW and has a strong/ wide terrorist network in Balochistan. He might be behind this incident to sabotage the government's peace efforts. The Indian consulates located all along the border are providing funds, weapons and training to them. Afghan and ISAF forces are facilitating militants in border crossing once Pakistani Forces are seriously busy in crushing them. In short, President Obama's words about Muslim world would only be taken as true if it matching on ground situation; otherwise it will consider as "BUGHAL MAIN CHURI MUN MAIN RAM RAM" or words to these effects "all that glitters is not gold" or "the enemy in disguise".  The said phrases are valid to his close allies Israel and India since they are supporting cross-border terrorism in their neighbouring countries.
