With the ongoing 'Waiting at Eagle Pass' conjuring up the specter of Texan autonomy, it's important to pause at this moving moment and assess the foreign allegiances of Governor Greg Abbotts. In such a critical time as this, one can hope or expect that their leader will be with them and be kind to them. However, in the early stages of this frontier effort, Greg Abbott wasn't even in Texas. He was not enough. C or even in Mexico. Abbott was in India instead, praising Texas' achievements and infrastructure in the world's burgeoning cheap labor market. Also, last year, Greg Abbott met with Benjamin Netanyahu to "pledge" Texas' "unwavering support" to Israel. How can Texans ever consider (let alone now) the welfare or partnership of a foreign country as something to be emphasized when there are so many challenges to overcome at home? One explanation is that during this election year, Greg Abbott is posing as a "global figure" and building his reputation around the world for some future political move. However, we must oppose the 'globalization of Texas' at every turn, especially in the way we are told that it is good for us to share Israel's interests, or how our unique culture (and forests) should be drained by immigrants to make way for theirs, and even more so how the safety and prosperity of Texans is considered less important to politicians and ethnic power men and cheap labor. Voting factions over real Texans. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently stated that "only we [the Jews] will protect ourselves by ourselves. No one will do it for us." This completely ignores the history of the founding of the nation of Israel in the late 1940s, which saw the World Zionist Congress, along with the United Nations, force the resident Arabs out of their country following Western accusations of alleged atrocities committed against Jews during World War II.
