Israel, the present force in the American elections!
Al-Riyadh Editorial
Published in Alriyadh on 09 - 09 - 2012

Israel is present in the American conscience before the occurrence of the competition between the democratic & republican parties. We have become used to the periodic promises of transferring the American Embassy to Jerusalem as a sort of confessing its being the capital of Israel. It is a form for which there is no match when cases are discussed with NATO allies, North America, South America or Asia.
Obama could win in the past cession due to that he came as an alternative to a face that has become hated by the world to the extent that it led the world to hate the United States itself. Bush Junior kept involving in battles and adopting a religious trend covered by a military and political power that pushed the United States towards wars, occupation & bypassing the human rights. He considered that the American prestige after 11 / 09 events requires facing the enemy in his own home. Accordingly, the man of Charisma, the outspoken lecturer and the African roots character has become, for sure, the objective alternative for the man of fascist tendency that had drowned the United States in material and military setbacks, in addition to the big numbers of wars victims and the semi-bankrupt economy.
Obama's chance of winning once again is subject to his work team that he recruited from the famous characters of his party & to the big sympathy with the blacks. However, the success of any party has become subject to the economic conditions, too. It may be that the size of the problem exceeds the promises of the two parties candidates as long as the unemployment, the deteriorating exports, the rise of fuel prices & the organic link between the United States and America, which leads to that whatever is happening in one of them affects the other in any problem or situation, shall constitute a part of the obstacles which are facing the two candidates.
Romney, the Republican candidate, did not hide his sympathy with Israel as he went to it and considered its wishes, including confessing that Jerusalem is its capital, preparing for a military strike on Iran and promising it with military and material aids. This disk has been played by earlier candidates who managed to reach the White House but failed in fulfilling their promises due to international and internal problems, in addition to others who expressed their sympathy but hid in the back. However, Israel knows well how to exploit the American occasions through pushing its supporters towards practicing a pressure on any important character nominated for the presidency or the membership of the congress or the senate through the help of its supporters who dedicate the money and media machine for pushing the candidates who care for its interests towards the high positions.
Believing that the United States is mortgaged or subject to Israel or other countries is incorrect due to that it is behaving as a superpower. Its view of the global variables may be more important than Israel and its conflict with countries of the region as it is concerned with China's economic, technical & military development because it represents the competing power pole in the coming years. Its look is not derived from the competition on world markets only but from its care for the cosmic surrounding and the ability of staying in the lead. There are claims that China shall be the alternative of the old Soviet Union but such belief is not true due to that China is not subject to ideology even if it is ruled by the communist party as long as its approach is capitalist and linked with many countries to where it has transferred the activities of its companies. For China, the United States, for sure, is the biggest of the big investors it is dealing with, which are its allies in Europe, Asia & North America.
The United States has, in addition, its traditional rivalry with Russia in regard to the nuclear arsenals, missiles bases & some international conflict spots such as Iran, North Korea and Syria as Russia seeks a position in these countries due to reasons it considers essential for its future policies.
Elections represent the real shape of the aspirations of the American citizen who cares for the reduction of taxes, provision of jobs and health insurance & improvement of economy before caring for solving the international issues. These aspirations represent the topics which are strongly presented and cared for by the candidates for accessing (into) the White house.
