The corporate media have been given their orders to throw
the focus back on to Iran.
Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget.
1. Last Spring, Rose
Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief
nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United
Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel
refused.
3. The
IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to
submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's
formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the
backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules
of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran
allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US
and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The
reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he
new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on
the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch
up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that
Iran is a nuclear threat.
7. The IAEA
and all
16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement
that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.
8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided
photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory
underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is
making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power
station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international
experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no
evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone
Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war
crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel
has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone
is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from
being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making
the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up
and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron
that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until
they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.
Israel wants to send
your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop
them.
