on arch enemies .....

Just yesterday, the New York Times, had a lead story about Israeli planning to possibly "go it alone" in an attack on Iran if the US were not to "succeed" in its diplomatic efforts to get Iran to "stop" it's alleged attempts to develop a nuclear weapon capability.

Aside from the fact that there is no hard evidence that Iran is trying to make a nuclear bomb or even to refine uranium to obtain nuclear-grade material, the paper ignored one crucial point: Israel cannot "go it alone" in any strike on Iran, since its key weapons - F15 and F-16 fighter-bombers - are supplied to it, and kept flying, thanks to the equipment and spare parts provided by the United States. Indeed the entire Israeli military machine is largely financed and armed by the US.

No Israeli military effort cannot go forward without the full backing of the US, and to say otherwise is to simply perpetrate a fraud on the public, implying that Israel is an independent actor on the world stage. It is not.

Another example of warmongering came in an interview by Terri Gross on her program "Fresh Air," which I believe is the most widely syndicated and popular program on National Public Radio, produced here in Philadelphia at the studios of NPR affiliate WHYY. Listening to "Fresh Air" this week, which featured an interview with New York Times war correspondent Dexter Filkens, a generally excellent reporter who distinguished himself for his reporting on the Iraq War, and particularly on the brutal US assault on the city of Fallujah, I heard Filkens refer casually to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as "America's arch-enemy."

Now it's possible, and I certainly do hope it's the case, that Filkens was being ironic here. But Terri Gross allowed this characterization of Iran's president pass without comment.

America's arch-enemy? Really? On what basis?

Demonizing Iran: US Media Continue Beating War Drums

meanwhile .....

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a call by US President Barack Obama to halt new construction in East Jerusalem, his aides confirmed Thursday. The rejection, which was delivered privately over the weekend, appeared likely to further complicate American efforts to broker a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians.

Both sides lay claim to the holy city, and Israel does not consider building there to be a settlement activity. The international community does not view East Jerusalem as legally Israel's.

Israel Rejects Obama's Call for Building Halt in East Jerusalem

 

The Zionists do not have conscience or honour.

Even with the Jewish world wide media skewing or ignoring the Zionist bloody war on the world, one can take for granted two things regarding the Zionist's intention to attack Iran.

1.  While the accusation that Iran wanted "Israel" wiped off the map proved to be a furfy, Iran has meticulously abided by the UN Non Proliferation Treaty to obtain peaceful nuclear power.  At all times under threat from the US/Zionist military alliance.

2.  Conversely, since its illegal beginnings, the mythical "Israel" has lied; cheated; stolen; murdered; harvested body parts; preemptively invaded its neighbors and secretly built nuclear WMD's.  All with it's nose in the air for the entire world to see that their terrorist bully, the US, will protect them.  Struth.

From Countercurrents:

In his 1991 book, "The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and America Foreign Policy," Seymour Hersh discussed its strategy to launch a massive nuclear counterattack if it felt its existence threatened, the stark message being the next regional war may be nuclear.  (Who is threatening?)

In his 1997 book, "Open Secrets: Israeli Nuclear and Foreign Policies," Israel Shahak said that, helped by the Israeli Lobby (and Christian Zionists), "Israel (is) clearly prepar(ing) itself to seek overtly a hegemony over the entire Middle East (with no) hesitati(on) to use for the purpose all means available, including nuclear ones."  (Who is threatening?)

Then exPrime Minister Ehud Olmert stated in Germany in 2006,

"Israel has said many times - and I also said this to German television in an interview - that we will not be the first country that introduces nuclear weapons to the Middle East....That was our position (earlier). That is our position (now) - nothing has changed."

Since the 1970s, Israel's official position is that it chose "an option to produce electricity using nuclear reactors. (This) requires promoting nuclear knowledge and research, preparing sites suitable for building nuclear power plants," and weighing the economic benefits. (Iran's word is intact - "Israel's" is as always a calculated lie).

According to Steinbach:

"Despite this claim, an exhaustive search of publicly available sources indicates the existence of no meaningful Israeli civilian nuclear energy program, past or present....From its inception, the Israeli nuclear program has centered on developing a nuclear weapons program, with any other nuclear program being incidental."

Steinbach also cites estimates of Israel's arsenal at "from 100 to over 400 bombs," there being "little doubt that (its) weapons are among the world's most sophisticated, and largely designed for war fighting." They include:

-- "boosted fission weapons and small neutron bombs, designed to maximize deadly gamma radiation while minimizing blast effects and long-term radiation - in essence designed to kill people while leaving property intact;"

 COMMENT:  Can anyone imagine the 60 years of persecution the Palestinians have suffered from these Middle East Morlocks?  Can we imagine the almost daily nuclear threats to Iran by the Zionists and its affects on ordinary citizens?  Does Egypt really believe that the Morlocks will keep their word and NOT BOMB THE ASWAN DAM?

The collective and preemptive terrorism that these multi-national criminals are prosecuting is beyond the crimes of any other uncivilized group in the history of the world. 

Does any fool sincerely believe that these people, devoid of conscience or dignity or honor, will just sit back in their plush chairs should they ever achieve their total destruction of Palestine?  Fair dinkum.

I remember the Movie "On the Beach" that was made in Australia and depicted the end of the world due to nuclear war.  The last nation to go down was Australia. 

I believe that the world created by the US, in particular the Bush regime, has made democracy a word of the past and that the "only thing a nation is entitled to is what they can defend".

God Bless Australia and good luck the courage of Iran.  NE OUBLIE
