De Pro Israel Lobby 16

Een deel van de pro-Israel lobby is weer helemaal de kluts kwijt. Danny Schechter geeft vanuit de Verenide Staten het volgende voorbeeld:

'“THE WAR WITH IRAN HAS BEGUN."
Writing from Tel Aviv for the NY Sun, a newspaper that is not only pro-Israeli but often a megaphone for rightist Israeli politicians, David Twersky sees these military exchanges as not a continuation of an old war but the beginning of a new one. He writes: ”The war with Iran has begun.”

”Years from now, the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit will be regarded like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Against the backdrop of Kassam rocket fire on Israelis living within range of the Gaza Strip, it was the fate of Corporal Shalit that triggered the Israeli return to Gaza, which in turn brought the Hezbollah forces into the game. Israel is fighting two Iranian proxies on two fronts. It may, or may not, open a third front against a third Iranian proxy, Syria.”

Rack that tape back a minute and be reminded that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo was the pretext and trigger not for a regional conflict but for a world war, World War 1, “the war to end all wars,” a bloody mess that accomplished nothing except setting a new record in mass mortality: 37 million dead.'
