PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week.
He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration."
The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.
Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.
"Obama is about change," Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. "And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it."
Jackson warns that he isn't an Obama confidant or adviser, "just a supporter." But he adds that Obama has been "a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family." Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle.
"We helped him start his career," says Jackson. "And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged."
and
Jackson is especially critical of President Bush's approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
"Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss," Jackson says. "Barack will change that," because, as long as the Palestinians haven't seen justice, the Middle East will "remain a source of danger to us all."
"Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims," Jackson says. "Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith."

You need to distinguish between a Zionist and A Jew. They are not the same.
"A Zionist is not Jew. A Zionist is a Zionist. Period."
Take for example the pretentious Susan Saradon and the reactions of Jews to her Zionist leanings:
"... checking Sarandon’s words against her actions leads to an unpleasant conclusion: hypocrisy. Earlier this year, Sarandon received letters from the villages of Bil’in and Jayyous asking her to disassociate herself from the Israeli settlement-builder and diamond mogul Lev Leviev after she crossed the picket line at the opening gala of Leviev’s flagship store in New York. She also received letters from groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and Israel’s Coalition of Women for Peace, of which WIB is a member. Sarandon’s first response was that she would “explore” request that she cut ties with Leviev over Israeli settlement construction."
Israel and Jews are being used like the rest of us to enrich the power brokers in the US War and Oil Exchange. It's not Israel or Arabs that are causing the problems, but the fascist oligarchs that own our government who divide with the bovine excrement of hate to combat hate crimes. The Israeli government and the Zionists in our government are so greedy and bloodthirsty it is difficult to imagine them as anything remotely Jewish.
The Jew is being set up. When the crime finally avails itself for all to see, and the criminals start trying to excuse themselves, it's a sure bet the first words out of their mouth will be, "The Jew made me do it".
Israel is being used as a hideout for gangsters who care no more for the Jew than they do the Muslim, Christian, me or you.
We live in a lie.
