Israel 'On Alert' for US Intervention in Iran, Again
The article suggests Israel is suddenly concerned about U.S. intervention in Iran, a classic headline-turner. This 'concern,' however, conveniently sidesteps the decades-long Israeli push for U.S. action against Iran. Recall when former Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly pressured the U.S. toward military action against Iran's nuclear program in 2012, or lobbied against the Iran nuclear deal in
2015 via AIPAC-funded members of Congress (OpenSecrets.org confirms AIPAC alone spent $3.5 million on lobbying in 2015, not including PAC contributions). It seems American intervention is only desired when it serves Israeli strategic goals, not when it might complicate their own shadow wars. The media frames this as a new development, but it's the same old tune: Israel dictates the terms of
engagement, the U.S. performs. The 'high alert' is less about genuine fear and more about ensuring any potential U.S. action aligns perfectly with their preferred escalation strategy. How many times have we seen the U.S. military budget, funded by your tax dollars, used to underwrite Israeli security desires, often against clear American interests? One might ask, who is 'on alert' for American
interests in this equation?
