There are so-called progressives/lefties/greenies/liberals/tribalists/
peaceniks who denounce bush and sharon by referring to them as busharon. This neologism implies that the seemingly homely george bush is similar to the evil ariel sharon, who has transgressed from being a terrorist, mass murderer, and war criminal until, at the height of his political career, he’s become a state terrorist. It suggests that sharon and bush promote the same policies. It does not, however, say much about the relationship between them. It doesn’t indicate whether bush is the master, and sharon the slave, or vice versa. If anything, the word’s failure to provide a clue about this relationship implies there is no master-slave relationship ­ just two, like minded, buddies working together to implement mutually beneficial policies. As far as zionists in the progressive/leftie/greeny/liberal/tribalist/peacenik movement are concerned the word is a useful propaganda device since it enables them to parade their progressive credentials i.e. suggesting george bush is as dreadful as ariel sharon, without having to discuss the critical issue of who is the puppet and who is the puppeteer. This is the issue they must avoid at all costs since it raises fundamental questions about the role of zionists in the american media, in american politics, and in america’s foreign policies.

Anti-zionists should challenge those who use the word ‘busharon’ to explain what they mean. Do they mean, as the zionist lover noam chomsky suggests, that bush is the puppeteer whilst sharon is the puppet? Or do they mean, as the zionist lover uri avnery suggests, that the relationship is a symbiosis, "Some people say, only half in jest, that the USA is an Israeli colony. And indeed, in many respects it looks like that. President Bush dances to Ariel Sharon's tune. Both Houses of Congress are totally subservient to the Israeli right-wing - much more so than the Knesset. It has been said that if the pro-Israeli lobby were to sponsor a resolution on Capitol Hill calling for the abolition of the Ten Commandments, both Houses of Congress would adopt it overwhelmingly. Every year Congress confirms the payment of a massive tribute to Israel. But others assert the reverse: that Israel is an American colony. And indeed, that is also true in many respects. It is unthinkable for the Israeli government to refuse a clear-cut request by the President of the United States. America forbids Israel to sell an expensive intelligence-gathering plane to China? Israel cancels the sale. America forbids a large-scale military action, as happened last week in Gaza? No action. America wants the Israeli economy to be managed according to American precepts? No problem: an American (circumcised, to be sure) has just been appointed as Governor of the Central Bank of Israel. As a matter of fact, both versions are right: The USA is an Israeli colony and Israel is an American colony. The relationship between the two countries is a symbiosis, a term defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "an association of two organisms living attached to each other or one within the other" (from the Greek words for "living" and "together".) (Uri Avnery ‘King George’ http://www.counterpunch.org/avnery01242005.html January 24, 2005).

It is much more accurate to argue, as does ralph nader, that sharon is the puppeteer whilst bush and congress are the puppets. There is considerable evidence pointing toward the proposition that, since the p*ny bombings, the likud party governs the zionist state just as much as it does the american state. Indeed, the likud party has two overseas branches in america: the right wing republican likud party and the slightly less right wing democratic likud party. In the 1990s the likud party also controlled russia when the zionist oligarchs stole the country’s resources and managed to get their shabbat goy, boris yeltsin, re-elected as president. The likud resembles the communist international during the 1930s so perhaps it would be better described as the zionist international. For an elaboration of the master-slave relationship between sharon and bush please see ‘Bush is Sharon’s Muppet’ http://www.geocities.com/carbonomics/MCtfirm/10tf26/10tf26g.html In effect, ariel sharon is the real president of the united states and thus president of the world.

Those using the word, busharon, tend to be zionists spouting progressive ideas about america and the palestinians but who, in reality, are just helping to prop up the likudnik’s global empire. One of its main proponents is uri avneri. To give one instance of his use of the word, "The strange creature named the Busharon is in serious trouble. The front half of this animal - George W. Bush. The animal's rear end - Ariel Sharon - is also in great trouble." (Uri Avnery ‘Busharon: The Countdown’ May 15th, 2004). At one moment he’s pointing out the likudniks’ domination of palestine, america, and russia, whilst the next he’s denouncing those who point out the role of global zionism, "Israel's aging self-professed 'leftist peacenik', Uri Avneri, has taken of late to charging all those who have pointed the finger of blame and guilt at the Jewish Neocons and the Israeli-Jewish Lobby in Washington as 'anti-semites'. They who dare point such fingers of responsibility at the Neocons, the Lobby, and by extension Israel itself are modern-day descendants, according to Avneri's latest blast, of those who professed the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'." (Israel's Uri Avneri http://www.middleeast.org/mernew.htm Oct 2004).

Another phrase used to describe the israeli neocons in america is ‘Israeli firsters’. This is just as misleading as the phrase ‘dual loyalties’ since it implies that in their affections they give primacy to the zionist state whilst america is secondary. It is possible that there are israelis in america who give their primary loyalty to the zionist state in palestine but are also willing to show some, second class, loyalty to the country in which they have been born and raised. However, as far as the israeli neocons in the bush administration are concerned the phrase is inaccurate. They are israelis first and last.

The most accurate phrase to describe israeli neocons in america is fifth columnists. They are traitors to america who are sacrificing american lives and wealth for the sake of the expansionism of the zionist state in palestine.

Finally, it can be suggested that the israelis in the bush administration are not israeli americans. Israeli americans would tend to be dual loyalists whereas the neocons are israelis living in america who give sole priority to the zionist state in palestine.
