Israeli Lobby Targets Syria and Iran 2013.09.02

Waging war on Syria is prelude to targeting Iran. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus.
It’s the Lobby’s prime target. 
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) calls itself “the most influential group on the issue of US-Israel military relations.”
It “advocate(s) on behalf of a strong US military, a robust national security policy and a strongU.S security relationship with Israel and other like-minded democracies.”
 It supports Israeli lawlessness. It backs its regional dominance plans. It endorses war on Palestinians and other Israeli regional enemies.
 It wants uncompromised Washington support. It wants it in lockstep with Israeli policy. It’s connected to political, military and corporate officials in both countries.
Last April, Michael Makovsky became its new CEO/executive director. He’s a former Bush administration official. He was the hawkish Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) foreign policy director.
Blaise Misiztal is acting BPC foreign policy director. He and Makovsky target Iran. Last June they headlined “Lessons from Syria for Iran,” saying:
America, Britain and France “confirmed the use of chemical weapons in Syria.” Obama drew a “publicly stated red line.”
 ”The lesson learned from Syria is that preventing a nuclear Iran” depends on “actionable” red line enforcement. Doing so requires verifiable “evidentiary standard(s).”
 They must be “credible.” People must be convinced that crossing the line requires “a response, especially a military one.”
Syria is prelude to attacking Iran. America saying “we’re not going to accept Iran having a nuclear weapon” lacks teeth. It’s “not actionable, verifiable, or credible.”
 ”Poorly designed red lines are difficult to enforce; unenforced red lines erode security.”
Last June, Obama hadn’t acted directly against Syria. Makovsky and Misztal called not doing so “a teachable moment.” They said it’s not too late.
Targeting Syria can “draw a new red line that can serve to prevent a nuclear weapons capable Iran,” they said.
They stopped short of explaining what they know. Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful. Claiming otherwise red herring subterfuge for regime change. Iran’s sovereign independence is targeted.
So is Syria’s. Fabricated chemical weapons use charges mask Washington’s real intention. Israel’s supports the same agenda. Its Lobby does as well.
AIPAC’s hostile to Syria. It wrongfully blames Assad for insurgent crimes. It claims he supports terrorist groups. It does so maliciously.
Assad stonewalls “international efforts to investigate (his nonexistent) illicit nuclear program,” says AIPAC.
On August 29, it headlined “Editorial: Syria Proves Urgency to Stop Iran,” saying:
 ”The use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime highlights the danger of allowing the world’s most dangerous regimes to possess weapons of mass destruction.”
 ”While Assad has already thrust his country into turmoil and instability, the worst possible outcome for the Middle East would be an Iranian regime equipped with the world’s most dangerous weapon.”
“An effective Western response to Assad’s belligerent use of chemical weapons – and any military action to deter him from using them again – would be jeopardized even further by Syria’s dictator operating under the umbrella of a nuclear Iran.”
 ”We cannot allow Assad to operate with the support of his greatest ally in Tehran backed by a nuclear weapons capability.”
 Iran is AIPAC’s prime target. It supports ravaging and destroying Syria. It knows doing so isolates Tehran. It wants its sovereign independence neutralized. It wants it replaced by subservient pro-Western governance.
It wants all regional Israeli rival states eliminated. It supports war as a way to do it. So does the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Its entire history reflects demagoguery and Islamophobia. High-minded mumbo jumbo conceals its odious agenda.
It disseminates pro-Israeli propaganda. It conducts smear campaigns against Israeli critics. It does so under the guise of fighting anti-semitism and supporting human rights equitably.
