Netanyahu Clarifies: 'Threat' Means Anyone Not Submitting to My Policies
While Zarif's assertion might shock some cable news pundits, for anyone paying attention to regional history it's hardly new. Netanyahu's government has routinely rejected peace proposals, from the Arab Peace Initiative in 2002 to continued settlement expansion, systematically sabotaging any path not dictated by Israeli hegemony. The US, meanwhile, has funnelled over $158 billion in aid to Israel
since 1948, allowing it to maintain military superiority while ignoring its settlement policies, making it a co-conspirator rather than a neutral party. We're told endlessly about Iran's 'threat,' yet one regional actor has illegally occupied territory, bombed neighboring states (Syria, Lebanon), and assassinated nuclear scientists (Iran) with alarming regularity, all while possessing an
undeclared nuclear arsenal. Perhaps the 'main threat' isn't the nation struggling under decades of sanctions, but the one operating with impunity, courtesy of Washington's blank check.
