Iran vs Israel: What The Media Wants You To Forget

via WRH

The corporate media have been given their orders to throw the focus back on to Iran.

Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget.

1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.

2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.

3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections.Israel refused.

4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.

5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.

6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.

7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.

8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.

9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.

10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.

We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.

Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.

The anti-Israel tone of this makes me want to support war. I don't, but I suggest that the way this is worded is counter-productive.

I abhor what Israel has done to the Palestinians. I abhor the Mossad,. I abhor the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons pointed at all the NATO allies. I abhor that certain Zionists and the Mossad have hijacked telecommunications systems, leaving the United States and every other nation on earth susceptible to their blackmail.

I have many Israeli friends. I have many Jewish friends. However, they are not the government of Israel. They are not the Mossad. They are not the IDF.

Israel has expanded its borders 3 times since 1948. Israel has more UN violations than any other country on the planet, and yet somehow people think its the obligation of the American public to go to war for the parasites that control Israel, the parasites who built a wall around Palestine, the parasites who gun down Palestinian children, the parasites who ran a bulldozer over Rachel Corrie, and the parasites who poison the water and demolish homes, olive groves, schools, hospitals and vital infrastructure of the Palestinians, all while claiming they are the Chosen Ones.

The only reason Israel has enemies is because it continues to expand its borders (and now they want to control Jerusalem),

Regardless of how you feel about Israel, there is nothing in the Constitution that says the US should go to war on behalf o a foreign country. There is nothing in the Constitution linking Israels interest with the United States. If you want to fight Israels battles, go for it, but not with American lives or money.
