The invasion of Lebanon was part of that myth. When Hizbollah
captured two Israeli soldiers on Lebanese territory, the Israelis leapt
at the opportunity to use that as an excuse to attack Lebanon,
provoking Hizbollah to retaliate.
The Israelis knew that if they
provoked them, Hizbollah would respond in kind. While destroying
Lebanon's infrastructure and murdering its civilians, the Zionist
propaganda machine blathered its usual line about self-defence.
The
conclusion of the deceptive argument was that Hizbollah's attacks on
Israel prove that Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map.
The
next part of the sham argument holds that since Iran wants to eliminate
Israel, according to its president and because it insists on its right
to develop a nuclear capacity and as they're lying about wanting
nuclear power for peaceful purposes, Iran must be attacked.
However,
Iran's president did not say that Israel (the country) should be wiped
off the map. That interpretation of what Ahmedinejad said was based on
a fraudulent translation of his speech.
His comment was "Imam
(Khomeini) said: This regime that is occupying Quds (Jerusalem) must be
eliminated from the pages of history."
As one commentator wrote:
"The perfidious thing about this translation is that the expression
'map' can only be used in one (intentional) way: a state can be removed
from a map but not a regime, about which Ahmedinejad is actually
speaking."
Carrying the myth forward, G W Bush said, based
entirely on the misinterpretation of Ahmedinejad's speech: "The threat
from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong
ally Israel.
"That's a threat, a serious threat. It's a threat
to world peace; it's a threat, in essence, to a strong alliance. I made
it clear, I'll make it clear again, that we will use military might to
protect our ally, Israel."
The truth was that Iran advocated a regime change in Israel.
As
Anneliese Fikentscher and Andreas Neumann observed: "To commute a
demand for removal of a 'regime' into a demand for removal of a state
is serious deception and dangerous demagogy."
The myth that Iran
would be a nuclear threat to Israel is the most ludicrous part of the
Zionist propaganda campaign and the most dangerous part of the neocons'
deception.
Iran could not conceivably consider a nuclear attack
on Israel as long as they occupy what Ahmedinejad referred to as "our
dear Palestinians".
The only conceivable danger to Israel from
Iran - even if Iran had nuclear weapons - would be (1) if the
Palestinians were eliminated from Palestine and (2) if Israel then
attacked Iran.
If Israelis keep harping on the myth about the
potential danger from Iran, knowing that the Iranians would never
target Palestinians, the only logical deduction is that Israel plans to
rid occupied Palestine of the Palestinians.
Zionist lackey US Senator Joe Lieberman has already urged America to bomb Iran.
How many more lunatics will fall in line?
FOX news has even gone as far as to repeatedly broadcast comments by people who say Ahmadinejad was actually calling for genocide!
It is very unfortunate that with all the advancements in communication technology, the masses can still be deceived so easily.
