To celebrate Israel’s 65th Independence Day, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has passed Resolution 65, promising unconditional US military and diplomatic support if Israel attacks Iran.
The resolution, co-sponsored by 79 Senators, is expected to quickly be pushed through the broader Senate, and insists that US policy is centered on halting Iran’s nuclear program.
AIPAC officials were quick to cheer its passing through committee, and went on to demand that it come up for a vote in the Senate too, saying it is “enormously important” for the US to commit itself to Israel’s support in this war.
It’s a war Israeli officials are keen to talk up today, with Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both using Independence Day appearances to emphasize that Israel is prepared to unilaterally attack Iran at any time.
Fools. These idiots won't even give "unconditional support" for their own citizens when a natural disaster occurs, not man-created – like a war of aggression – like the Sandy Aid package. But they'll commit unlimited resources, money and bodies, if Israel starts a war they can't win without our help.
Do you think that Israel will win the war with Iran even with USA helping out…? What would they win when there is no Israel left to win anything…, nor a Israeli solder on the Iranian land and half of USA ships are on the botoom of persian gulf and no oil is exported nor the American goods reaching any countries in persian gulf…, but I agree with you.., these idiots….. Are idiots.
You mean if Isreal starts a war which they cannot win and may yet lose even with the USA help?
Will anyone WIN an unjust and illegal war?
How many of the 79 Senators who co-sponsered this resolution will be willing to ask their sons and daughters to fight an illegal war far from their homeland?
As you say, no one wins… But realizing that factoid requires forethought and reasoning based on facts and not bluster and blunder. They do neither and therefore others will suffer needlessly as is usually the case when the elites start wars in which they don't have an personal investment.
There is not a doubt in my mind, that Israel knows a lot better than to launch an attack upon Iran, with or without US aid. Israel knows that there are too many Israelis with dual passports who would abandon the "holy land" with the first return shot – and with a population of 80 million modern people, Iran will fight back. Every day, there would El-Al flights leaving full and returning empty.
SUPPORT OF TERRORISM AT THE LEGISLATIVE branch of the US. This proves without doubts USA is the biggest terrorst state in the histroy of mankind. The zionist servants in the senate will support the WAR CRIME activity of an apartheid entity if launches an illegal attack on Iran. This is against your international law idiots.
Then people actually doubt the power of the Israel Lobby!!!
They even say it does not exist. Except when they brag about its power.
And who's going to give unconditional support of any kind to the (up to) 100 asses in the Senate after hell breaks loose, if not literally, in the eventuality of such a stupid act ?
As usual our elected officials are ready to shoot the American people in the foot in order to benefit Israel.
Or shoot us dead three times over with 1.6 billion rounds of ammo Comrade Commissar Napolitano has stockpiled.
Iran (Persia) hasnt attacked anyone in about 1,000 years.
What are they – un-American?
All the more reason to bomb them – wake 'em up a little
I've noticed zero mention of this stupid resolution on NPR or local California newspapers. And yet, the wimp South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham challenged Hagel (during his confirmation hearings) to name one senator who was intimidated by the Israeli lobby. Now Hagel has 79 names he could provide. Israel is not a special friend to the American people, only to the politicians their super strong lobby supports. We must stop all aid to the war hawks in Israel and demand the truth about their attack against the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967.
So now a foreign country decides when and if the US goes to war. This is sick.
does anyone have the actual link to the resolution itself – I would like to read the words
