COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN SPUTNIK
Israel Misleading
World Over Self-Defense Claims
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks on Israel defending itself from Iran hold no water.
Of course Netanyahu is misleading the world.
That's pretty much all Netanyahu does, and when he isn't
telling lies, he's making threats.
Israel's problem with Iran is that it is the most important
competitor in a region Israel wishes itself to dominate totally.
It has nothing to do with danger or threats from Iran. How
can there be danger when Israel both has its own nuclear weapons is kept under
the American nuclear umbrella? The claim would be laughable were it not for the
fact that you are not allowed to laugh at Israel.
Iran has never once threatened Israel, although Israel very
much has threatened Iran.
Netanyahu's government runs what is essentially a gangster
state, one with the protection of America's government which is heavily under
the influence of a very powerful domestic lobby.
What else besides gangster can you call a state which 50
years after a war it deliberately started still occupies the land of millions
of other people, giving them no rights, and periodically openly stealing yet
another slice of their land?
This is a state in violation of dozens of UN Resolutions,
international treaties, conventions, and accepted practices. And almost
everything that it demands or blusters about today only suggests still more
lawlessness in future.
All the while keeping millions, as in Gaza, in misery.
And Israel's position in Syria, supporting the gangs of
thugs who have worked to tear the country apart, is all about keeping land it
earlier stole there, perhaps even extending it.
