Israel ready to bomb Iran


Paul Balles

15 July 2007

Paul J. Balles considers how Israel, the Middle East’s only nuclear power, has persuaded the US and the Europeans, through dissembling and lying, to support an Israeli strike against Iran’s civilian nuclear power facilities.

The combined arrogance and dissembling by Israel, the US and now the European Union is so extreme that it's almost beyond belief.

Friday the 13th has always been a bad omen, but this Friday 13 July 2007 sees the omen become a daunting reality. A Newsmax headline reports: "Israel 'approved' to strike Iran".

According to Newsmax, "Israel’s minister of strategic affairs said he has received approval from the US and Europe for an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities."

Avigdor Lieberman is reported as having said, following a meeting with NATO and European Union officials, "If we start military operations against Iran alone, then Europe and the US will support us.”

In other words, America and Europe are going to supply the money and weaponry for Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear power facilities. That gets all of the attack freaks off the hook: Israel convinces the West of its lies about Iran's nuclear ambitions; and America and the Europeans only support the lies and provide the armaments and funding.

Is anyone paying attention to what's going on in the Middle East? Israel has more than 200 nuclear bombs; and for that revelation Mordechai Vanunu languished in prison for 18 years. Who are the Israeli leaders trying to kid? Or do they have so much control over the US and Europe that they don't need to kid anyone any longer?

Iran, on the other hand, has wanted to develop nuclear power. Does anyone not know the difference between nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs? Israel and its supporters seem to hope we're confused.

It's an extension of the same power wielding and dissembling they've been doing for years with the Palestinians. They tell the world that they're under threat from the Arabs; and they’re using tanks and helicopter gunships to massacre kids throwing stones.

The Israelis scream about the deaths of Israelis and the danger to Israel of the suicide bombers when Israel has imprisoned, tortured, maimed, assassinated or gunned down hundreds of times as many Palestinians.

In their unbridled arrogance, the Israelis continue to build illegal settlements, they destroy a legitimately elected Palestinian government, they build walls that deprive Palestinians of their land, they steal property, and force Palestinians out of their homes and into refugee camps.

America and the European Union are just as arrogant in their support of Israel. Just as the US and the UK proved by invading and continuing to occupy Iraq, the West is again exercising imperialist control over a people they consider a lesser breed.

That arrogant attitude of a chosen people moved the appetites of the British Empire, the occupation of Algeria by France, the conquests of Spain and Portugal. Imperial control is nothing new to the Europeans.

The sickening control freaks of America and Israel differ only slightly from the holier-than-thou Europeans in their conquests. Iraq wasn’t enough. They're all back in the same boat now ready to decimate Iran because its president dared to question the legitimacy of Israel.

Oh, yes, Iran also wants to develop nuclear power and preserve its oil reserves. The country has signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. And had its nuclear facilities inspected. Israel has not. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel does. America and England and the rest of Europe have enough to destroy the world.

They will continue to dissemble with lies that distort what Iran's president has said, what the Iranians are doing and speculating about what Iran intends to do. All of which makes Iran an easy target for the arrogant controllers of the world.
