Iraq Explosion: 'Accident' or Standard Israeli Policy?
Another day, another 'unexplained' explosion in Iraq claiming a Popular Mobilisation Forces member, as per The New Arab. The report notes 'reports in Israeli media that Tel Aviv was preparing for a new front with Iraq.' For those keeping score, this isn't a new front; it's a consistent pattern. Remember the numerous 'mysterious' airstrikes on PMF bases in Iraq in 2019, which U.S. officials
anonymously confirmed to Reuters were Israeli? Or the 2007 raid on a Syrian facility, which US intelligence later confirmed was Israeli? It appears the 'threats' are merely a formality, perhaps even a courtesy, before the 'accidents' occur. One might wonder if the mainstream press would describe a known arsonist lurking outside a burning building as merely providing 'fire threats.' How many times
does 'Tel Aviv was preparing' become 'Tel Aviv just did it,' before we're allowed to connect the obvious?
