Israel's Broken
Record - Attack Iran
By Kurt Nimmo
3-14-5
It's like a broken record: Israel will attack Iran, Israel will attack Iran.
Iran is working on nukes, Iran is working on nukes, even though the
International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran is not working on nukes. Now we
are told the Israelis have created a mock version of Iran's Natanz uranium
enrichment plant in order to practice assaults on the facility. Ha'aretz
reports "Israel would use F-15 fighter planes and its air force's elite
Shaldag [Kingfisher] unit in the attack." For months now, Israel has sent the
same message over and over: Iran is close to finishing construction on a nuke
(call it the George Bush effect; there is no evidence Iran is building a
nuke; uranium enrichment is not the same thing as building a nuke, thus
Israel is exaggerating and lying as a pretext to attack). Another part of the
message is that Iran cannot be trusted, it is a nation of crazed Muslims who
want to kill all Israelis. In fact, if Israel has said anything consistently,
it is that every single Arab and Muslim wants to kill Jews and push them into
the sea.
Last year it was figured the IAEA would be used as a cudgel to beat Iran into
submission and impose Iraq-like sanctions on the country. But over the last
few months the US and Israel have consistently beat the war drums. Every few
weeks Israel comes out with another Iran nuke story. "Heading off Iran's
attempt to attain nuclear capability is one of the Mossad's main missions,
and the foreign media is one of the most important instruments utilized in
this effort," Aluf Benn wrote in Haaretz in 2003. "Mossad agents supply
foreign journalists with information about Iran's nuclear efforts; such
foreign reports, the Mossad expects, support the international campaign to
thwart Iran's nuclear weapons program." Lately, however, Iran has been
telling the US and Israel to go suck an egg-it will not stop uranium
enrichment, it feels uranium enrichment is in its national interest and
Israel and the United States should butt out.
Now we have Mossad agents pulling fire alarms, telling the world they are
actually practicing bombing Iran. Mossad, the Likudite faction in Israel, and
the Strausscons in the United States want you to know they plan to bomb Iran
very soon. If they do this all hell will break loose. Natanz is not Ain
Saheb. Iran is not Syria. The Likudites and the Strausscons realize that any
attack on Iran would solidify the position of the fundie mullahs. "Tehran,
experts expected, could move Iraqi Shiite groups to launch attacks against US
occupation forces, already facing a hellish situation amid a bubbling
cauldron of chaos and anarchy in the war-scarred country. They can also
provide these groups with human and logistic support," Islam Online reported
last year. "The Islamic Republic could also use Southern Lebanon, controlled
by the Lebanese resistance movement Hizbullah which can not stand neutral
regarding an Israeli attack on Iran." As the experts cited by Islam Online
see it, this "could spill over to a Syrian-Israeli confrontation."
Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah-three targets at the top of the Likudite-
Strausscon mafia hit list. Israel wants to start a war-the Strausscons call
it World War IV-and get the United States to fight it. The NED and Republican
NGO engineered "Cedar revolution" in Lebanon will of course not pan out-not
if the Muslim majority in Lebanon, who know a scam when they see it, have
anything to say about it-and even if they do manage to get "moderates"
(Christian Maronite fascists) back in power, this will not put an end to
Hezbollah who understand the true nature of the Israeli colonialist settler
state: Israel hungers for southern Lebanon, its land and water, and it will
stop at nothing to pitch Lebanon-indeed, the entire region-into war and
chaos. Fragmenting and balkanizing the Arab and Muslim world remains a long-
held Zionist dream.
In the propaganda campaign for total war (and the Haaretz item above is
simply the latest element of this on-going propaganda blitz) we are
told "Israel is worried that a preemptive strike against Iran could
provoke 'a ferocious response,' including attacks against Jewish and Israeli
targets abroad, as well as Lebanese-based rocket attacks on northern Israel,"
which is of course precisely what the Likudites want, especially among the
Shia in southern Iraq who will undoubtedly be agitated if Israel attacks
Iran. A Shia jihad declared against the infidels is exactly what the
Likudites and the Strausscons want. It will provide an excuse for even more
military action on the part of the United States, possibly in Iran and
Lebanon as well as in Iraq. Of course, this is completely insane, since the
US cannot contain a couple hundred thousand Sunni resistance fighters in Iraq
let alone an influx of possibly millions of Muslims from Iran. For the
Strausscons and Israelis, bombing Iran is a way to up the ante and set in
motion a series of events that will result in total war. In order to for the
American people to find the "stomach" (as the Strausscon godfather, Norman
Podhoretz, deems it) for total war, a few terrorist events closer to home may
be required. Mossad has plenty of experience pulling off such events.
Israel, however, did not learn its lesson in southern Lebanon. "The
increasingly effective operational capabilities of the resistance prove once
more that it takes a small group of determined fighters armed with light arms
and 'weighty' faith to expose zionist pretentious claims to invincibility and
omnipotence as nothing short of a hollow myth," Khalil Osman wrote in 1998,
before Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon.
It will be a "hollow myth" that drives the Likudite-Strausscon war against
the Arab and Muslim Middle East. It is no longer 1920 and the Arabs are not
so easily divided and ruled. If Israel attacks Iran, a Hezbollah-styled
resistance will spread across the Middle East and may even join together with
the Sunni resistance in Iraq, even though the corporate media loves to tell
us the Shia want nothing more than to put down the Sunni rebellion.
Regardless of what the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times says, at the
end of the day the common enemy is the US-Israel alliance.
