Israel agenda wider war in Mideast: Analyst

Press TV has conducted an interview with James Morris, editor of america-hijacked.com in Los Angeles, to discuss a recent remarks by the Israeli minister of military affairs, Moshe Ya’alon.

The following is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Press TV: Some very strong words coming out of Tel Aviv. What justification could Moshe Ya’alon possibly give for making such threats of a nuclear attack?

Morris: There is no justification. It is just outright warmongering, threatening the use of Israel’s covert - well not so covert now - nuclear weapons program, which the US had actually even helped Israel build using nitrogen bombs and all that, according to the Declassified DOD Report that the Zionist US media would not even mention. Where I found out about it was here on Press TV.

Basically Moshe Ya’alon has a history of threatening neighboring countries. We saw that earlier this year when he had said that if Hezbollah retaliates against Israel for any kind of ongoing action in Syria or perhaps even a strike on Iran, he will basically unleash the full force of Israel’s military on innocent civilians in Lebanon. So it is no surprise when we see these warmongers out of Israel, threatening nuclear weapons. If you go back to the Israeli military historian, Martin van Creveld, he had even threatened European cities with nuclear attack. So that is not surprising at all. We know about the Israeli Samson Option as well - from Seymour Hersh’s book - the Samson Option, where Israel had threatened to take the world down with its nukes. So Israel is a rogue state. The US supports Israel because of the tremendous influence of the Israel lobby in America, which I have talked about on Press TV before; you can go to my america-hijacked.com blog for more on that and get to it by going to UShijacked.com as well, and we are just seeing what looks to be the unfolding of a coming wider war in the Middle East, which is based on the Israeli Likudnik-Oded-Yinon strategy for Israel in the 1980s, and that is what we see unfolding in Iraq ...

Press TV: The Iranian envoy also says that these types of remarks and the recent war on Gaza are all proof how little importance Tel Aviv puts on human life and how aggressive this regime really is. Your thoughts.

Morris: Well that is spot-on. I mean you look at the mindset behind Zionist donors here in America as well who are behind Israel a hundred percent like Sheldon Adelson - the casino magnate from Las Vegas. He is basically the one who is backing the Republican Party here and you see a lot of the warmongering coming out of the Republican Party here in America from candidates such as Lindsey Graham, who is in bed with Israel, and his sidekick John McCain, both neo-con mouthpieces who pander to Jewish donors like Sheldon Adelson ... So it is very, very concerning like I said. What Moshe Ya'alon has said is basically in accord with the Zionist neo-con clean break agenda - you can Google that as well - and that calls for going into Lebanon against Hezbollah and then into Syria. And we know going back to the Israeli Oded-Yinon neo-con plan I just talked about, strategy for Israel in the 1980s, that that is what Israel has been doing in Syria.

We know on record that Israel supported the FSA by striking Syrian targets for the Syrian rebels. We know that they are aiding Syrian rebels. This whole agenda in the Middle East is a wider war for Israel, which the Israel lobby in the US is getting America to back as well. And whatever you say about President Obama, maybe he is a little bit better than what neo-con John McCain would have been, but President Obama was ready to strike Syria. If it was not for the British Parliament he would have. I think he wants a nuclear deal with Iran but what we all know that the Israel lobby in America including that neoconservatives ... will push to derail that Iran deal by trying to get an additional round of sanctions through the mouthpieces like Senator Tom Cotton as well. So it is a very dangerous situation.
