INTRODUCTION
Israel has committed repeated acts
of war against countries that opposed its Zionist policies of colonization and
annexation of Palestinian territory in East Jerusalem and the West Bank .
Israeli leaders have secured arms and diplomatic support for their attacks
through their Zionist proxies in the United States Congress and the Executive
Branch.
The current series of Israeli
bombing raids and missile strikes against Syria are designed to strengthen the
armed Syrian opposition and Islamist mercenaries seeking to destroy the
government in Damascus. Israel intends to sabotage the upcoming round of
peace negotiations. The Zionist state does not want a peaceful resolution to
the current regional conflict. Its foreign policy depends on perpetual
regional wars and political instability. Toward this end, Tel Aviv
has the unconditional support of the 52 Presidents of the Major American Jewish
Organization and all other Zionist organizations in the US .

THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE AT THE SERVICE
OF AL QAEDA
In recent years Israel has committed
numerous acts of war throughout the Middle East, including crimes against
humanity in Gaza , the West Bank and Lebanon . It is no surprise that
Israel , a colonial state and would-be regional hegemon, would bomb Syrian
military bases and weapon depots on six occasions this year, despite the fact
that Damascus was struggling for its survival against thousands of
Saudi-financed Al Qaeda-linked mercenaries.
Israel ’s deliberate and unprovoked
attacks against the beleaguered Syrian state are motivated by dangerous,
sinister and cynical considerations on the part of Tel Aviv.
First, the
Israel wants a strong Wahhabi-Al Qaeda presence in the region to counter the
secular Baathists as well as their Shiite allies in Lebanon and Iran . Their
attacks against the Syrian military show their desire for the terrorists to
continue ravaging Syrian cities and towns. This is essentially a tactical
alliance between extremist Zionist-Jews and Radical Sunni Muslims.
Second, Israel
is calculating that its missile attacks against Syrian bases will provoke an
armed response from Damascus which Tel Aviv could use as a pretext to declare
war and unite the ‘hawk and dove’ Zionists in Israel, and especially in the US,
and mobilize against another ‘existential threat’ to the ‘Jewish State’.
In other words, Israel intends to prod the US Congress and White House to
launch an ‘allied’ bombing campaign against Damascus .
Thirdly, Tel Aviv
views its missile strikes and bombing raids against Syria as a ‘dress
rehearsal’ for its planned attack on Iran . In the context of Iranian
President Rouhani’s recent peace overtures toward the US , bombing Syria and
provoking Damascus would scuttle any peaceful accord between the Washington and
Teheran. Israeli pilots are using Syria as a laboratory to test radar and
communications, flight patterns, its bombing accuracy, interception technology
and assets to further their readiness for a pre-emptive attack on Iran . The
purpose for attacking the Syrian government and destroying defensive weapons
destined for its Lebanese Shiite ally, Hezbollah, is to destroy any Lebanese
capacity to resist Israeli aggression in a regional conflagration.
However, Israel ’s military-driven ‘diplomacy’ has failed. And yet the Jewish state cannot reverse its brutal,
colonial policies in the West Bank, re-think its working alliance with Al Qaeda
in the Levant or formulate a realistic political settlement with Syria and Iran
. Instead, the characteristic failure and mediocrity of Israeli
policymakers have condemned them to rely exclusively on their first, last and
only resort – greater brutality and aggression.
Netanyahu showed his disappointment with Obama by announcing
the construction of 1500 new ‘Jews-only’ apartments in Occupied Palestinian
East Jerusalem . Meanwhile, the Israeli
Foreign Office denounced the Obama Administration for having revealed that
Israeli planes and missiles had struck the major Syrian port of Latakia –
implying that Washington’s revelation of Israel’s attempted sabotage of the
peace talks amounted to a ‘betrayal’ or ‘crime’ against the Jewish state!
The entire Zionist power configuration in
Washington has lined up to support the Jewish state. When Israel commits an act
of war against its neighbor, no matter how unjust and brutal the act, Zionists
from the most religious to the most secular, the ‘peaceniks’ and neo-cons, all
form a united chorus in praise of the righteous and moral ‘Jewish Bombs’ even
as they fall on the besieged people of Syria today and Iran tomorrow. While the pro-Israel media troika in the US doesn’t
hesitate to denounce civilian suffering from Pentagon and CIA drones strikes in
Pakistan, when Israeli missiles rain on Syria … acts of pre-emptive war by the
heirs of the Holocaust … they are described as necessary for the defense of a
peace-loving nation…because Bibi Netanyahu said so!!! That garrulous
Harvard Law Professor will argue on the US television ‘talk shows’ that Israel
had to pulverize the concrete bunkers of the Syrian military otherwise some
anti-Semite might someday find some pebble to toss at some member of the moral
Israeli ‘peace force’. ‘Existential threat’ indeed!
Rank cant and mendacious special pleadings aside,
the Saudis and their Israeli allies intend to finance, arm and serve as Al
Qaeda’s air force against the Assad regime in Syria . They mean to
undermine any Syrian or Iranian peace process, that is, unless the US and
Russia prevent them from provoking a major regional conflagration – threatening the welfare of hundreds of millions of
people.
CONCLUSION
The Middle East has always been a
mosaic of complex and changing alliances, marking shifts in the balance of
imperial power. During the past decade, the US , Israel , Saudi Arabia
and their satraps in Jordan , Egypt and Lebanon have ruled the roosts.
Iraq , as an independent modern secular nation and multicultural society, was
shattered and under the US military boot; the Taliban were in retreat … Iran
was isolated … Syria
was surrounded by invading foreign armed and trained terrorists and
mercenaries.
Time passed and circumstances
changed. The US was forced to
retreat from the horrific sectarian conflict it created in Iraq , while
Iran gained political influence and stature in the region. Turkey captured lucrative
regional markets. In Afghanistan , the Taliban have recovered, advanced
and are preparing to take power as soon as the US withdraws support from its
lackey in Kabul . The White House temporarily lost a dictator in Egypt ,
only to gain a new dictatorial client, but the junta in Cairo faces an
uncertain future with massive popular unrest. The King of Jordan may
still be on the CIA/Mossad payroll but that country is a backward satrapy
forced to rely on police state tactics.
The corrupt Gulf Monarchies repress their dissident
majorities at home while using their countries’ incredible oil wealth to
subsidize jihadi terrorists abroad. Their legitimacy and support is
fragile: Petro-billions, bombs and US military bases do not constitute a
state!
Tactical relations are in
flux. The Saudi monarch rejects the UN, repudiates the US for its
rapprochement with Iran and embraces —its own hot air. Surely the Saudis understand that siding with Israel
’s air force against an Arab nation is a dangerous and desperate ploy that
could backfire.
The Syrian and Iranian governments will continue
with their peace agendas, democratic openings and calls for social
co-existence, such as Hezbollah has successfully secured in Lebanon . The
Russians support their overtures. If they are successful, even the US and
Europe would reap immense economic benefits from a demilitarized and
sanctions-free Middle East and Persian Gulf . The world economy would see
lower energy prices and greater security, while the flow of rentier capital to
the speculators in the City of London and Wall Street flood would reverse and
benefit their own countries. We stand at the crossroads between turning
toward peace or reverting to regional war, crisis and chaos.
