Crimson > Israel not to blame for Iraq mess by Stephen Zunes. In a word, bullsh1t. He doesn't mention the neocons once let alone that they were responsible for the essential Israeli and US policy documents namely, A Clean Break and the PNAC, both of which, in fact, identify Iraq as a major threat. Furthermore, he attempts to argue that blaming Israel for Iraq is anti-Semitism -- it isn't, it's anti-Zionism which is a horse of a completely different color although Jews and Zionists are often confused with each other. Then there's AIPAC which has most of the US Congress in its pocket. And all the rest ......... mediamonitors.net In my opinion, this piece is closer to the truth: ihr.org >>Uri Avnery — an award-winning Israeli journalist and author, and a three-time member of Israel’s parliament — sees the Iraq war as an expression of immense Jewish influence and power. In an essay written some weeks after the US invasion, he wrote: "Who are the winners? They are the so-called neo-cons, or neo-conservatives. A compact group, almost all of whose members are Jewish. They hold the key positions in the Bush administration, as well as in the think-tanks that play an important role in formulating American policy and the ed-op pages of the influential newspapers... The immense influence of this largely Jewish group stems from its close alliance with the extreme right-wing Christian fundamentalists, who nowadays control Bush's Republican party. ...Seemingly, all this is good for Israel. America controls the world, we control America. Never before have Jews exerted such an immense influence on the center of world power." In Britain, a veteran member of Britain’s House of Commons bluntly declared in May 2003 that Jews had taken control of America’s foreign policy, and had succeeded in pushing the US into war. "A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians," said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy and the longest-serving House member. "There is far too much Jewish influence in the United States," he added. <<
