Netanyahu suggests US use "soft porn" to subvert Iranian society.
A few weeks ago United Press International reported on testimony former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave to Congress suggesting that the United States should attack Iran with "soft porn"!
According to the September 12 report by P. Mitchell Prothero, "A former Israeli prime minister Thursday called upon the United States to effect regime change in both Iraq and Iran, prescribing a military invasion to topple the government in Baghdad and the transmission of ribald television programing via satellite into Persia, where he said the influx of pop culture would prove 'subversive' to the conservative Islamic regime.
"Citing the hundreds of thousands of satellite television dishes in Iran, Benjamin Netanyahu told the House Government Reform Committee that the United States could incite revolution against the conservative Iranian clergy through the use of such Fox Broadcasting staples as Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210--both of which feature beautiful young people in varying states of undress, living glamorous, materialistic lives and engaging in promiscuous sex.
" 'This is pretty subversive stuff,' Netanyahu told the committee.'
Last January, Lebanon's major newspaper, the Daily Star, reported that the Islamic Association for Palestine had issued a report claiming "representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israeli Shin Beth experts have recommended that the relatively conservative Palestinian society be flooded with pornography, drugs, and gambling in order to keep Palestinian youths away from joining the resistance against Israeli occupation...
A high-ranking Palestinian intelligence officer has intimated that American and Israeli intelligence experts discussed 'this issue' many times....
"The officer said Israeli Shin Beth already instructed some independent television stations in the West Bank to screen 'liberal and semi-pornographic movies.'
"He mentioned at least one television station in the southern part of the West Bank.
"The Officer said the Israeli government didn't go 'far enough' due to objections and protests from Jewish settlers who argued that pornographic materials on local screens was having a detrimental effect on the Jewish children in the settlements."
