NETANYAHU’S UN SPEECH: SOUNDS LIKE A DERANGED,
DANGEROUS SOCIOPATH?

NETANYAHU’S UN SPEECH: SOUNDS LIKE A
SOCIOPATH?
Iranian missiles will hit New York
in “three to four years”. A nuclear Iran is like “50 North Koreas”. This could
be the sound of a deranged, dangerous sociopath, or this could be the sound of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu addressing the UN
General Assembly[1].
Compare for yourself. Last week we
had Iranian President Hassan Rouhani calling for the world to surf a WAVE[2] (as in World Against Violence and
Extremism).
This week we had Bibi saying that
was a “cynical” and “totally hypocritical honey trap”.
In the world according to Netanyahu:
“Ahmadinejad was a wolf in wolf’s
clothing. Rouhani is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Rouhani tried to present himself as “pious”, but
he’s always been involved with “the terror state of Iran”. He’s like “a
serial killer going to court dressed in clerical attire and giving testimony to
his nature as an ‘ethical’ and ‘religious’ man.”
Ranting aside, Bibi did change his
game. Now it’s not silly cartoons and begging the US to bomb Iran virtually on
a weekly basis.
Now it’s Iran’s “military nuclear
program” that must be shut down – a program, by the way, that the alphabet soup
of US intelligence agencies says does not exist.
And this after Netanyahu told US
President Barack Obama to forget – forever – UN Security Council resolution
242, which determined total Israeli withdrawal from all lands occupied after
the 1967 war.
WHAT
A BOMB in the head of Netanyahu [see picture]
So let’s get some things straight.
The state of Israel does not have
any internationally recognized borders, and does not have an internationally
recognized capital. It’s bound to be perpetually expanding.
Israel has disrespected no less than
69 UN Security Council resolutions and has been “protected “ from no
less than 29 more, courtesy of US vetoes.
It has been occupying sovereign
territory of Lebanon and Syria without giving a damn to UN Security Council
resolutions.
Israel signed the Oslo Accords
promising to stop building for good, any new settlements in Palestine.
Instead, it’s built over 270 new
settlements. This is part of the slow motion ethnic cleansing of Palestine over
the past six decades.
Israel has been threatening to bomb
Iran on a weekly basis for at least three decades.
Israel is an undeclared nuclear
power with as many as 400 nuclear warheads; refuses to sign the nuclear
non-proliferation treaty (NPT); bars international inspections; never ratified
the Chemical Weapon Convention Treaty; used chemical weapons on Gaza; and holds
an undeclared stockpile of chemical weapons larger than any other nation in the
Middle East.
Iran, on the other hand, has no
nuclear warheads. Iran has signed the NPT and is inspected on a regular basis.
Iran has not invaded another country for at least 250 years.
Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded
Iran in 1980, but Iran did not occupy Iraqi territory.
The Israel lobby in Washington and
the US Congress imposed a financial blockade on Iran, which for all practical
purposes is a declaration of war.
This has led to a massive
depreciation of the Iranian rial – with drastic consequences for the lives of
ordinary Iranians.
Yet in his meeting with Obama this
Monday in Washington, Netanyahu not only asked for more sanctions; he said
Israel will unilaterally attack Iran if Rouhani’s words are not followed by “action”.
The real “international
community”, as in the overwhelming majority of the developing world,
including the BRICS group of emerging powers, have all these facts at their
fingertips. These facts help to see right through Bibi’s game.
JUST
LOOK AT THE MAP in his head [see picture]
The mere possibility of a US-Iran
dialogue is the Israeli right’s real “existential threat”. Bibi won’t
accept even Iran’s right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes, accorded to
it by the NPT.
A US deal with Iran is a win-win
proposition for all; not only the two principals but energy-starved Europeans,
the global economy, multinational corporations, you name it.
EXCEPT FOR ISRAEL.
Bibi’s nightmare is the Islamic
Republic of Iran not only as an independent geopolitical actor in Southwest
Asia – which it already is – but also as a thriving regional power; in this
aspect, the only way for Iran is up, considering its huge, young, well-educated
population, its massive energy resources, its fabulous location and its complex
ties to South, Central and East Asia.
For the Israeli right, the status quo
is ideal.
Either we find US puppets such as
the petro-monarchies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); or Arab secular
republics that – with various degrees of Israeli input – have been mired in
extreme turmoil, like Iraq and especially Syria.
It’s very easy for Israel to
maneuver among these actors; the Israelis can, for instance, rejoice with a
military coup in Egypt (because the Egyptian military are no threat) while
partnering with Saudi Arabia to try to bring down Assad in Syria.
Middle East balkanization over
sectarian lines is sweet as honey for Israel.
But Iran as an emerging
economic/political power, with normalized relations with the US and Western
Europe, it’s a much more serious matter, “existentially” threatening
Israel’s supposed hegemony in the Middle East, which rests solely on its
military muscle (not to mention hidden nuclear capability).
So much for Netanyahu ’s obsession
with regime change in Tehran – or the next best option, which is total
isolation from the West (because as far as the East is concerned, Iran has
thriving relations with all key actors in Asia).
The crucial point is that Iran’s “existential
threat” has been extremely useful for the Israeli right as a diversionary
tactic, changing the subject from what’s happening in real life; a nuclear
garrison state/settler colony literally, graphically wiping a whole people –
the Palestinians – off the map.
When in doubt, just look at the map.
So here’s where we are.
Netanyahu is a hawk who swears by
Eretz Israel – a “Greater” Israel with ever-expanding borders and
undisputed military/nuclear hegemony in the Middle East.
He has powerful allies; US extreme
right-wingers and neo-cons, demented Republicans who will support anything as
long as it’s against Obama, a great deal of the Israeli-manipulated US
Congress, large swathes of corporate media.
They will stop at nothing to derail
even the hint of an agreement between Washington and Tehran.
The temptation for the real “international
community” would be to tell Netanyahhu to shut up – and go play with his
silly cartoons.
Obama at the UN last week said his
priorities are now Iran and taking another shot at solving the
Israeli-Palestinian tragedy.
So the ball is really in Obama’s
court – not the sociopath’s.

MY COMMENT:
I wonder what is the real glue that
ties US policy makers (the bad among democrats and republicans) with Zionist like
Netanyahu in Israel? Why Israel is receiving the bulk of foreign aid from the
US to States abroad? If we see the current
geopolitical map, Israel is not anymore the strategic country that serves any
US strategy to expand democracy abroad, much less in the Middle East. Israel is
instead the main obstacle to such endeavor. With their wars & provocative aggression
against neighbors Israel not only took advantage of the US military might,
Israel misused it and cross the line of what is permissible in International
Laws and HR covenants. That made all Americans ashamed of sponsoring the
Israeli’s brutality against Palestinian and other neighboring nations.
Is it because Israel has the most
powerful lobby inside the US?. If this lobby has been used by crook corporation
and investors to dealing with State Capture in Transitional regimes, then we
need evidence proving that US Senators and bad persons in other instances of our
Political-Military apparatus, has been bribed by Israeli money or their lobbies,
and expose them, and press all institutional instances to outlaw their lobbies.
We also should investigate if it is true that Israel banks are been used like
financial paradise in the Caribbean to evade taxes inside the US. It was
mentioned in pre-election time when M Romney was said to have his money deposited
in Israeli banks. What about money laundry, speculative business, and
arms-trading done by crook Israelis worldwide? If we investigate all those cases, we may
discover not one psychotic dressed as wolf, but many devils dressed like angels.
