ISRAEL FOR WAR, IRAN FOR OLIVE LEAF?

Can it be true? In recent days it appears that Israel our long time ally seeks war, and it is Iran, our long term enemy, which has taken up the olive leaf by signing on to the Iran P5+1 Nuclear Deal. in the last few days hordes of AIPAC lobbyists descended on Washington, clamoring to upend the Obama proposed agreement. They flooded Congressional offices with demands which seem to make it clear that Israel will only be satisfied with WAR. After the debacle of Iraq, and resulting rise of ISiS we can not let them do it to us again.

How the world has turned topsy-turfy. How we are fooled by smoke and mirrors. We have been misled into thinking that a nation which we assumed was our ally, who has taken our beneficence, and broken bread in friendship, would join us in the pursuit of peace and nuclear security. But no that nation reveals itself to be strongly opposed to our good will and intentions. It is clear by the recent actions of Israel and her American puppets that that nation, under the leadership of Netanyahu, will only be satisfied with a new, American-led-and financed war in the Middle East. It seems a paradox but true that now, it is Iran, under the "evil" Ayatollah, which seeks a peaceful solution.


Unlike the other Arab states in the region, Iran has a well-educated, vibrant, innovative and ambitions middle class, which, if released from onerous sanctions, could have the potential to grow the nation's economy. Such a nation may even partner effectively with the intellectual and economic dynamo in the region...Israel. But it is this---a peaceful and economically vibrant Persian nation which Israel's Likud leaders fear. They fear Iran as a state released from sanctions which may garner significant economic power. Israel's reactionary leadership sees that kind of Iran as a threat to its own dominance in the region. With such neighbors Israel might even have to stop stonewalling and honestly seek a peaceful solution with the Palestinians whose territory it continue to occupy. For these reasons Netanyahu, and his Likud right-wingers want to maintain their absolute military hegemony AS WELL AS ECONOMIC DOMINANCE in the region. They prefer war to peace. Even a peaceful, disarmed Iran is seen as a threat to them. Their goal is to make Iran, a failed state, bombed back to the Stone Age...like Iraq and Syria. The USA as a true friend and ally to Israel, and in the position of peace-seeking world leader can not be led into war for these reasons.

We can not continue to support an Israel which thumbs its nose at our President, brazenly abandons protocol to sneak behind the President and take sides in our internal political deliberations, refuses to abide by UN resolutions, stockpiles hundreds of nuclear weapons, thumbs its nose at the entreaties for peace from the rest of the world, brutally subjugates a native population, and now when our President is seeking an agreement to advance peace and nuclear security, it seeks to lobby our government's internal deliberations with a mssive effort ro undermine those objectives and generate conditions which may lead to another costly and bloody war in the Middle East.



Do not let the forces of ignorance, misperception, evil, and chaos win out over peace, prosperity and security for all peoples of the Middle East--Persians, Jews and Moslems. The Iran Nuclear Deal is the first step toward a better, safer, more prosperous world.
