Almost every
politically-aware person on the planet is puzzled by Israeli Prime
Minister Netanyahu's bizarre obsession with Iran. Netanyahu is risking
his political career, his reputation, and Israel's future by intervening
in the US presidential elections.
He is using all of Zionism's considerable might - including
organized crime assets like “Las Vegas Godfather” Sheldon Adelson - to
force Obama to attack Iran; or, failing that, to make sure that Obama is
defeated by the Zionist puppet Romney. There are even rumors of
Israeli-sponsored assassination attempts on Obama.
Even the rabidly pro-Zionist
Jewish Daily Forward has editorialized:
“It’s difficult to recall a time when an Israeli prime minister has
inserted himself into a presidential election campaign in the way that
Benjamin Netanyahu has. It’s even harder to recall a time when a trusted
ally openly urged the American president to undertake a questionable,
unpopular and highly risky war. We sure hope Netanyahu knows what he’s
doing, because the stakes for him - and for the two nations he professes
to care about the most - could not be higher.”
The
Jewish Daily Forward has good reasons to wonder whether
Netanyahu knows what he's doing. The editorialist cites polls showing
that the American people strongly oppose attacking Iran, even if war
breaks out between Iran and Israel and only US intervention could save
Israel! These polls show that American voters no longer give a damn
whether Israel, which has chosen to live by the sword, finally dies by
the sword. As Dave Lindorff observes, Netanyahu's mad obsession with
pushing the US into yet another unwanted war for Israel “may have
fundamentally undermined the long-standing 'special relationship'
between the US and Israel.”
And still Netanyahu continues on this seemingly suicidal course. He
even orders the Mossad and its CIA assets including Gladio veteran Terry
Jones to unleash a rabidly anti-Islam film, spammed into the faces of
every Muslim on the planet via millions of dollars of computer server
time and intelligence agency expertise - an obvious attempt to fan the
flames of Islamophobia and pave the way to a US war on Iran for Israel.
Obama, who is on record saying he hates Netanyahu and that Netanyahu is a
liar, and who knows that Netanyahu manufactured the “Innocence of
Muslims” crisis to try to get Romney elected, responded by refusing to
meet with Netanyahu in New York, and going on the David Letterman Show
instead. A more blatant snub could hardly be imagined.
So, what in the world is Netanyahu really up to? Does he actually
believe that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, even though the CIA has
certified that it does not?
Of course, he doesn't really believe such nonsense. Even hard-line
Israeli strategists admit that Iran appears to be only developing
nuclear expertise, not actual weapons. Furthermore, Iran has not
attacked another nation in centuries.
Since the “nuclear crisis” is a hoax (like alleged Iraqi WMD in
2003), then what is the real reason for Netanyahu's Iran obsession? Is
it the Iranian government's support for anti-Zionist resistance groups
like Hamas and Hezbollah, and its calls for an end to Zionism through
free and fair elections?
Perhaps. Iran's open commitment to principled anti-Zionism
represents the nearly unanimous position of the people of the Middle
East, who have never accepted the genocidal Zionist entity as a
legitimate state. Israel has been able to bully every other government
in the region into shameful silence. The Islamic Republic of Iran will
not be silenced. Threats to level Iran with bombs seeks to send a
message to future Middle Eastern governments: Do not give a voice to
your people's resistance to Zionism, or else!
But while starting a war might seek to punish Iran for its
anti-Zionism, such a war would carry terrible risks for Israel. In the
impossible event that all goes well for Israel on the battlefield, the
suffering of the people of Iran would probably shame the world into
turning against Zionism even more sharply than the world turned against
apartheid in the 1980s.
But there is no guarantee that things would go well for
Israel on the battlefield. Iran has the capability to riddle Israel with
rocket attacks, or even to take out Israel's Dimona nuclear facility
and perhaps render Israel and much of the surrounding region permanently
uninhabitable. And Israel does not have the capability to seriously
damage Iran's nuclear energy program without US help. If the US
intervened on the side of Israel, Iran could shut the Straits of Hormuz,
and possibly sink many, if not all, of the ships there with Sunburn
missiles, driving gasoline prices over USD 10 a gallon and paralyzing
the world economy. Additionally, Iran has the capability to massively
attack the US bases that surround it, killing thousands, if not tens of
thousands, of US soldiers. A US president, especially one who dislikes
Netanyahu and puts America's interests ahead of Israel's, would be very
unlikely to help Netanyahu attack Iran.
Given that a war on Iran is an all-loss proposition for Israel, why
is Netanyahu fanatically fanning the flames of war, to the extent that
even his American Zionist cheering section is baffled and embarrassed by
his behavior?
Some question Netanyahu's intelligence, arguing that he is just a
furniture salesman who has been promoted far beyond his level of
competence. While there may be some truth to this - I certainly wouldn't
want to overestimate Netanyahu's intelligence - I don't think he's
quite that stupid. I think Netanyahu has a very good reason to prefer
war with Iran, despite all its risks, to peace. I think he does know
what he's doing.
Netanyahu needs the 9/11-triggered 100-years-war on
Islam to continue for the very good reason that if it does not, the
State of Emergency still in place in the US will be lifted, and
Americans, unencumbered by the National Security restrictions of
wartime, will quickly learn what really happened on September 11th,
2001. That possibility poses a very real existential threat to Israel -
and to Netanyahu.
As Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Strategic Studies at the US
Army War College, told Press TV: “I have had long conversations over the
past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the
Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both
cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation.
Period. If Americans ever know that Israel did this, they are going to
scrub them off the earth.” And even if Israel were “scrubbed off the
earth” peacefully through a one-state solution, Netanyahu would
certainly hang for his role in the 9/11 attacks.
Unfortunately for Netanyahu and Zionism, Dr. Sabrosky isn't the only
US National Security insider leaking the truth about 9/11. A very large
number of military and intelligence people have
come forward.The
two biggest recent leaks are revelations by CIA asset Susan Lindauer
that the CIA had detailed foreknowledge of 9/11 and attributed the
controlled demolitions of the three NYC skyscrapers to “those goddamned
Israelis”; and the assertion by Gwenyth Todd, who worked beside Richard
Clarke on the National Security Council, that Clarke (who was publicly
fired from an earlier job for being an Israeli spy) is the top suspect
as hands-on controller of 9/11 from the US end. Yes, you heard that
right: Richard Clarke's colleague on the National Security Council,
Gwenyth Todd, suspects Clarke of masterminding and running the 9/11
attacks. If Todd and other high-level sources are right about this,
Clarke's book title
Your Government Failed You is an understatement.
Some of the same high-level sources who point to Richard Clarke as
the US boss of the Israeli-instigated 9/11 false flag operation also
claim that President Obama, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dempsey,
and other powerful Americans are considering exposing the truth about
9/11 during a second Obama term. In other words, Obama's re-election
could put Israel out of business, and get Netanyahu hanged from the
nearest lamp-post.
No wonder Netanyahu is “overplaying his hand” by doing everything he
can to get rid of Obama. And no wonder Netanyahu is desperately trying
to throw gasoline on the “clash of civilizations” fire and trigger war
with Iran. A huge Middle East war, no matter how destructive, would
maintain the wartime State of Emergency in the US and impeded the
inexorable revelation of America's biggest state secret: That American
traitors, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush,
Richard Myers, and others, helped Israel blow up the World Trade Center,
bomb the Pentagon, and kill 3000 Americans on 9/11.
