Role of An American Presidency Against an Israeli War

Role of An American Presidency Against an Israeli War

Assuming Israel and the USA are independent nations; with governments not bent by political blackmail, bribery or other corruption -- it is normal to expect a disagreement on Israeli & American policy in the Near East on peace & war issues.

Israel cannot be unilaterally be backed by the USA - whatever her course.

What can an American President do if Israel goes to war?

- Object first of all -- and advocate peace as a preference; condemn militarism.
-Then if not immediately persuasive, the American Government must raise its persusasion ante:

- Call the Prime Minister of Israel and object and insist on a cessation of hositilities -- a ceasefire
- If refused -- publicize the calls to the Israeli Prime Minister to press and public - release their content
- Reduce communications to the Ambassadorial level -- bawl out the Israeli Ambassador with publicity of the event.
- Commence a full ceasefire resolution process in the UN Security Council
- End all armaments shipments to Israel -- and do not reinforce any war of aggression with replacements of arms or allocation of any military assistance to Israel or aggressor belligerents
- Via the UN & NATO and other nations in coalition to effect a ceasefire -- publicize and share all military intelligence about Israeli military actions -capacities & options
- Eliminate Israel from the USA and other nations GPS satellite usage.
-Choke all Israeli fuel imports
-Apply economic sanctions - including a trade embargo against Israel & belligerents - particularly BAR direct airflights from Israel to the USA.
-Freeze Israeli assets in the USA and other belligerents as necessary- and join an international assets freeze
- Recall the US Ambassador from Israel and reduce relations to the charg� level -- expelling the Israeli Ambassador
- Inform world opinion and Israel of the USA's intentions to seek damages & reparations for the aggressor-injured party
- Commence USA UN participation as a ready combat-capable party to ENFORCE & EFFECT A UN ORDERED CEASEFIRE
- Secure a peace conferecnce as soon as possible after the enforced ceasefire
