Israelimedia begs US to prepare for a war
with Syria, Russia, Iran
BEIRUT,
LEBANON (7:30 P.M.) – Israeli media has reached the new moral low
of openly begging the United States to prepare for war in Syria even
if it means coming into direct confrontation with major Syrian allies
like Russia and Iran.
In
a recent article titled “Why Israel needs to Prepare America for
the Upcoming War in Syria,” Jerusalem Post writer Eric R. Mandel
(an American Zionist) proposes that the US government and people must
be made war-willing partners of Israel in the event of any future
attack by the Israeli Defense Forces against Syrian, Russian and/ or
Iranian military targets.
The
article by Mandel is an outstanding example of how Israeli pro-war
interest groups – speaking through right-wing Zionists in top
American military and foreign policy circles – try to entice the US
government and population into participating in wars that only
benefit the hegemonic ambitions of Israel’s deep state.
At
a time when violence in the Syrian conflict has reached an all time
low due to the patient diplomatic efforts of Russia and Iran in
establishing de-escalation zones, Mandel delivers a well-placed lie
in his article that is designed to scare American audiences into
supporting military actions that would effectively destroy such hard
earned achievements towards peace.
The
myth claimed by Mandel to be fact is that the Lebanese rebel movement
Hezbollah completely controls the Lebanese government as well as a
number of (unnamed) South American governments and that its own
puppet master in this insidious conspiracy against Israel is Iran.
Indeed,
Mandel’s lie is highly reminiscent of the now proven-to-be-nonsense
‘axis of evil’ conspiracy theory (in which Ba’athist Iraq,
North Korea, Iran and Al-Qaeda were all in cahoots with one another)
that was pushed by US politicians, and reverberated by the Western
media, in order to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Israeli Jets Rattle Lebanon And Raise Tensions With Syria
10
September, 2017
In
what Lebanese media reported as a deeply provocative act, an Israeli
jet did a high speed and low altitude flyover of the city of Saida in
the country's South on Sunday. Lebanese citizens and security sources
also reported sonic booms which broke windows and shook buildings.
Lebanese social media mentioned possible injuries due to falling
glass and regional outlets showed images of damaged buildings and
momentary panic in the area under the fly-by. The region has been the
site of major military incursions by Israel over the past years,
especially during the last major Israeli bombing of the country in
2006.
An
Associated Press reporter witnessed multiple Israeli jets while
locals captured photographs of planes at higher altitudes just prior
to the low fly-by.
The AP's
account is
as follows:
An Associated Press reporter in Sidon heard two sonic booms and saw four jets flying overhead at various altitudes on Sunday. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported one sonic boom caused by a low-flying Israeli jet.
...Lebanon's Foreign Ministry said Saturday it was filing a complaint against Israel at the U.N. Security Council for violating its national airspace to strike targets inside Syria.
Video
footage purporting to show the flyover circulated widely, and was
even picked up by some international media outlets, but was
later proven
to be fake.

Last
week Israel
attacked a Syrian military base just
across Lebanon's border, which was carried out by jets flying over
Lebanese airspace. As we previously reported the flagrant act of
aggression was likely designed
to provoke a response as
Israeli leadership is concerned that Assad has not only survived but
appears to be winning the war in Syria. Lebanon barely has an air
force and further lacks adequate or high tech missile defense
systems.
According
to regional
media,
"Lebanese security officials told a Hezbollah-affiliated radio
station the Israeli sorties were part of a large-scale
training exercise the
IDF is currently holding in northern Israel meant to prepare for a
future war with the Shiite terror organization." Middle East
historian As'ad AbuKhalil noted after the incident that the Lebanese
government recorded
over 7000 Israeli violations of Lebanese Airspace in the first decade
of the 2000's alone.
It
is likely that Sunday's stunt was
also meant to send a direct message to Syria:
Israel has this summer consistently declared a "red line"
warning of repercussions should Iranian and Hezbollah troops not
leave Syria.
Numerous
reports are breaking out of Syria, reporting the Syrian Arab Army
used a Russian made S-200 anti-aircraft missile system, to shoot down
an Israeli F-15 Fighter jet near Sidon, Lebanon, after that jet
attacked Syria.
A
photo of the jet and the single missile heading to intercept it
(above), are being circulated as proof the jet was destroyed.
(4) the target was hit few KMs off #Sidon shore, sources are confirming that the F-15 was destroyed (the S-200 launcher after engagement)
