If they do succeed in blocking this historic pact, you can be sure they won’t occupy the White House any time soon – and may well lose their congressional majority, to boot. Certainly they would deserve to. Such obstructionism and naked partisanship would hand Hillary Clinton – no dove, to be sure – a political gift, making her look like a reasonable centrist in the face of the GOP’s extremism.
Yet the War Party doesn’t care about that. That’s because the coalition leading the assault on this deal doesn’t owe its allegiance to any party on American shores.
The opposition to this deal is coming straight from Tel Aviv, and only from Tel Aviv. And the overwhelming majority of Republican leadership – in Congress, and in the party hierarchy – is merely an adjunct of the Israel lobby. This is the meaning of the behind-the-scenes deal between House Speaker John Boehner and the Israeli ambassador to bring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress and make the case against the deal before it was even struck. That’s the meaning of the “open letter,” authored by scary neocon Sen. Tom Cotton, which sought to abort the agreement in embryo. Both Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a point of traveling to Israel and canoodling with Netanyahu while the Lausanne talks were going on, pledging their undying support – and taking their marching orders.
A more disgusting display of treachery in the service of a foreign power hasn’t been seen since the heyday of the Communist Party USA.
... which itself was riddled with Jews and their stooges, who now have simply morphed into Trotskyite neocons.
One thing has been consistent throughout their centuries-long history of polarization, incitement and conflict-profiteering: their racist Jewish-rackets serving perpetual war and permanent revolution Zionist agenda.
