While refusing to confirm or deny reports of Israel’s overnight attack on a Syrian military base, IDF military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Harzi Halevi bragged of the Israeli military’s capabilities, saying they would continue to attack enemies “near and far.”
Maj. Gen. Halevi made it very clear that when he says “enemies,” he mans Iran, playing up the “threat” posed by Iranian forces in Syria, as well as Iranian forces in Iran. He played up the “precise intelligence” which Israel has for targeting them everywhere in the region.
These comments were echoed by Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who also dodged the question about attacking Syria, but said that Israel was “ready and determined to defend ourselves,” also playing up the idea that this would be against Iran.
Israel’s attack comes amid repeated complaints by them that they are unhappy with the ceasefire efforts made by the US and Russia. Their objection to the ceasefire is largely that it doesn’t involve kicking Iran out of the country and imposing regime change by force, and some are speculating this may have informed the decision to attack.
This kind of troublemaking is realigning the region. Excessive demands, no stable respectful relationship with any single Arab state, gross overreach — have consequences. It is an sttempt at dictating US foreign policy. Just like the recently withdrawn Holocaust Museum report on the failure if US policy to prevent genocide, and urging action against Assad. While Israel is leading the cry for doing something about Iran — Middle East is slipping away. By Digging heels deeper into the quicksand of Middle East, Israel is currently damaging US vital interests in the region. At present — the two are not compatible.
It’s long time that the US initiate a total break with Israel and kick out all dual citizens from all levels of gov’t. The US must take back its own foreign policy from Israel’s and assert its sovereignty from the Zionist Entity. This nation’s Founders never envisioned or intended for it to be dominated by a foreign power, after having shaken off the yoke of British control, and Israel’s control of their creation must be causing them to spin in their graves.
Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson warned the fledgling US to avoid entangling alliances while at the same time, encouraged trade and friendly relations with all nations. However, once the Zionist Entity was entrenched in the ME, it began exacting demands from the US and Britain (especially the US). Israel has no allies, only vassals. It doesn’t hesitate to betray or even attack its vassals, like it attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 sailors and injuring around 170 others in June of 1967, in the midst of the Six-Day War. If anyone other than Lyndon Baines Johnson were POTUS that day, those IDF attackers would’ve had their butts kicked. However, he called back those pilots coming to the Liberty’s aid.
Uh-oh ….. are we going to get another 9-11 now ?
“For example, a senior Israeli intelligence delegation made visits last month to Washington and Moscow and according to the Jerusalem Post, Israel’s Prime Minister told Russia’s Putin that Israel was ready to bomb the Presidential Palace in Damascus, and to disrupt the Astana process, should Iran continue to ‘extend its reach in Syria’.
Apparently also discussed was the report that an Al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia has seized control of some uranium mines in Africa and will supply the material to Iran. According to a claimed diplomatic letter from the Somalia Minister of Foreign Affairs signed the letter appealing to the U.S. Ambassador to Somalia, Stephen Schwartz. Israel claims that Iran works in several ways with ISIS for mutual benefits and partly to preserve its “we vs. the terrorists” tactic to justify its occupation of Syria.” https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/07/russia-us-iran-and-israel-war-for-syria/ 911 can happen again . Iraq war can happen again . They have been happening in less dramatized scales anyway since those 2 went out with a big bang .
Any word or report coming out of Tel Aviv is a lie. Iran hasn’t attacked its neighbors in over 400 years; yet, Israel’s been attacking at least one of its neighbors, starting in 1948 up to now .. the latest attack being on Syria.
Additionally, the Zionist Entity’s been caring for injured ISIS terrorists in its field hospitals, then sending them back into Syria to continue the fight. Iran was invited by the legitimate gov’t. of Bashar Al-Assad to provide training for the Syrian army; the Islamic Republic hasn’t actually joined in the conflict, Hezbollah has done that.
Israel is becoming reckless – stirring up trouble without their usual very clandestine tactics. They are so obsessed with the sweet theft of West Bank lands, that they are like the proverbial monkey with its hand clutching purloined fruit and stuck in a narrow necked vase. It will not release the fruit to free its hand – it is just going to try to brazen it out, or smash the vase. Soon even the most stupid, bribed Christian Zionist will not be able to explain their evil ways. I hope America will not be the last to turn on these land-stealing racists.
oh please, zionist israeli’s have always been doing this,. they’ve infiltrated the US government to such a level that they CONTROL THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, via bribery, blackmail and outright threats!
Israel will attack and unleash all the mayhem.The rest will have to be taken care of by USA
