«The relationship between Israel and its neighbors must be
like that between America and the Soviets. Balance between
the two sides is not enough; there must be superiority.» This
became the thesis that governed ensuing US administrations.
This policy was implemented in the form of practical programs,
not least of which was the Israeli move from importing
weapons to importing the technology needed to manufacture
these weapons, and then becoming a major arms producer. It
was during this period that ‘Israel’ made two major achieve-
ments in this field: production of the Merkava tank and of the
Lavie warplane which will fly in 1986.
It is no coincidence that the qualitative transformations in
the political life of ‘israel’ were manifested in the rise of the
most aggressive, expansionist and chauvinist trends. These
trends paralleled the escalation of a similar political trend in the
USA in particular and in the capitalist world in general. Reagan
is not an individual representing himself. He is the apex of the
deep transformations in the philosophy governing the course
of the American administration, initiated by Nixon and
engineered by Kissinger. Later Brzezinski developed this
philosophy and paved the way for Reagan.
The parallelism in the transformation in ‘Israel’ and the US
points to the similarity in origin of this transformation which led
to a redistribution of roles between the two, in a way to serve
their interests optimally. The platform for the role redistribution
was common commitment to imperialism’s global strategy.
Organization of the roles of ‘Israel’ and the other centers of
imperialism, in light of the above, points to the fact that when
‘Israel’ acts in the service of imperialism, it is simultaneously
serving itself. It is a part and a full partner of the imperialist
camp. If the enemy camp knows its interests and distributes
roles accordingly, it is only natural that we should act on the
same basis. If our allies in the international progressive forces
act on the basis that Zionism is their direct enemy, then it is our
prerogative, as Palestinians and Arabs, to respect this political
logic and act on the basis that imperialism is our direct enemy.
