Iraq: The War for Israel

By Fanonite

Last year the respected US political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt came under sustained attack for suggesting that the Iraq war would  not have happened absent the Israel lobby. Recalling Orwell’s dictum, it has required a constant struggle to help some in the so-called antiwar movement see what is in front of everyone’s nose. So now we have here a senior member of the Democratic Party (pictured), who was recently elected into a congressional majority on an unequivocally antiwar mandate, promising Israel that it will keep its concerns foremost in its considerations of the US Iraq policy.

Jeffrey Blankfort responds:

The US is already fighting a war urged upon us by Israeli officialdom across the board and by the nest of traitors in the US more commonly known as the Israel lobby and here we have one of their hirelings suggesting that Israeli military officers should have input into a decision by the US to withdraw from Iraq. There are those who for tactical reasons may object to the use of the word “traitor” to describe lobbyists for Israel, but clearly they have a track record of putting the interests of Israel before that of their fellow Americans and by ignoring this reality we have been enabling them to continue undermining what little is left of US democracy while thousands of American soldiers have been killed and wounded fighting a war for Israel, quite apart from the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis whose blood and the destruction of their country is also on their hands as much as it is the maniacs in the White House. Those blind to the role played Israel and its lobbyists, insist that the war was waged for oil, who saw their last argument go up in smoke when the parliament refused to sign the oil contract which even if approved, given the situation in Iraq, would have been worthless, will continue to ignore what has been happening but pay them no mind. Some have their own agendas..
