Colonel Douglas Macgregor:
"If we do these things [Israel] wants us to do we will be involved in a very large regional war that stands an excellent chance of destroying Israel. I'm somebody that thinks Israel deserves to exist. This government in Israel is absolutely committed to regional dominance by Israel, and we [Americans are] supposed to underwrite and support this hegemony. The assumption is that if they can't dominate the region they have no security.
"So the next step is to attack Hezbollah, try to make it look like Hezbollah brought it on--and we go from there.
"In the mean time the West Bank erupts, the Gaza war is not over, they may have killed tens of thousands of people and driven hundreds of thousands out. It's not over. ... nobody around Israel wants a war."
But what Netanyahu wants is to escalate...."their answer to everything is escalate. If you escalate you inevitably pull in your vassal state--the United States--and the US Armed Forces will do your bidding. That's where we are. The Israelis are not difficult to figure out--I understand completely what they're doing, and why the larger problem is for the United States. What are we doing?
"Well, we have been bullying, sanctioning, and bombing everyone who doesn't agree with us for years--easily for 30 years. We bombed our way through the Balkans, we waged war in Somalia before we went to the Balkans. That didn't work. What we created in the Balkans is an unsustainable status quo. Then we moved on to the Middle East. We've created a disaster in Afghanistan, we created another one in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya. So what's the answer? The answer is always the same: escalate, bomb some more. This won't work. It hasn't worked. It's not going to work."
The radical Albanese regime in Australia solicited a 60 page report on "Islamophobia" from its ‘Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia’ which conveniently never actually defined Islamophobia, but did call for “removing religion” as a motive in terrorist attack because that would discriminate against Muslims…
…and is now set to spend tens of millions on fighting this ‘Islamophobia’.
This comes not long after the Bondi Beach Muslim massacre of Jews at a Chanukah Party that was the single worst Muslim terrorist attack in Australian history.
The Australian government is now attacking critics of illegal Islamic invasion, falsely claiming that they are damaging ‘social cohesion’. No word about whether hospitals having to hide the Bondi Beach terror attack victims from Muslim nurses ‘damages social cohesion’.
A Muslim minister in the Albanese regime falsely claimed that “Islamophobia is dangerously close to being normalized”. No, but the denial of Islamic terrorism...
We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.
-President Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell Address, 1961
Of all the evils to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops every other. War is the patent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes, are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few.
In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people!
No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
-James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
