« Military experts doubt that there is are going to be an attack on Syria. The warships that are gathering in the Eastern Mediterranean are mostly useless for an attack. The Syrians have the capability to very easily with little effort and expense to sink them all with the Russian and Iranian land-to-sea missiles that they have. They have formidable defences that first need to be neutralized by teams of group troops. I think that what we are seeing is more psychological posturing that is aimed at making the government and military collapse...But we should always be prepared for the worst and oppose any talks about an insane war. » 27 août L’avis de trois personnalités concernées If there is an outcry of public reaction- it may work ! let’s continue writing, calling demonstrating ; I am almost sure Obama does not really want war-otherwise he would have done it before. But he is under intense pressure from Zionists and the interventionist human rights crowd. But we can hope to develop a counterweight. Jean B. *** I may be a complete idiot but the narrative of Syrian gassing themselves doesn’t make any sense to me .. We must use every possible outlet and demand evidence ... I read ynet in Hebrew. It is very clear that to me that Israelis fabricated ’evidence’.. I think that the most crucial thing is to make sure they realise up there that the evidence they posses was falsified by IDF intelligence unit... It is amazing to read about it on ynet Hebrew... they produce all the American plans, dates, tactics, targets ; they know it all... it is obviously an Israeli war ... In the last 3 days ynet revealed that it is IDF that intercepted Syrian orders to deploy gas…It all sound bizarre to me cos this would be a smoking gun. ..The Israeli would find a way to leak the audio recording.. .And as far as I am aware they didn’t… Gilad Atzmon *** if people were convinced of what Gilad says-that Israel is behind the war, there would be zero support for it. But with all the mythology of war for oil (now syrian gas), it is difficult. Jean B. *** Dear Silvia, I wish I had the answer. A few moments ago I sent the message to below to a shorter list but would add that it was Israel’s false intelligence on Iraq’s supposed WMDs that bolstered the equally false intelligence that its agents in the Pentagon’s "Office of Special Plan," Wolfowitz and Feith, created to justify the war on Iraq. After the start of the 2003 war, Israel’s Defense Minister, Shaul Mofaz, publicly pressed the US to turn its attention to Syria and Iran and while there are differences of opinion in Israel over Syria, the government appears to be following Oded Yinon’s "Strategy for Israel in the Eighties" which, 30 years ago, called for Israel to focus on dividing the Arab states into opposing religious factions. In Iraq we saw the successful result of their handiwork and in Syria it has happened again. Here’s my earlier reply : Unfortunately, when it comes to making war, public opinion carries less weight than ever. In the absence of an antiwar movement in the US or on the continent it appears there is little that can be done at this point against the pressure of the Zionist International and the Western military-industrial complexes that are demanding a military attack on Syria. Activists in the US and elsewhere seem to be more interested in doing their politics on social media rather than political organizing the old fashioned way and I don’t know what it will take to wake them up. But it won’t come in time to stop the next war. I believe that among the US, the UK, and France, that the Obama administration is the least anxious to become involved and not just because the US public has no stomach for another US Middle East war. France and Britain never rejected or expressed regret for their own centuries of imperialism and, having tasted blood in Lybia, without taking casualties, both seem eager to do the same in Syria. Obama will, however, not let them take the lead this time and what will come afterward, no one can say for sure. The big question is what will Russia do ? Not much, I’m afraid. It is not about to start a war with US and the NATO countries over Syria and the best it can do will be to limit the length and breadth of the US/NATO attack. These are very dark times. I wish that I had something positive to say but I believe they will only get worse. Jeffrey Blankfort *** 28 août I just read, again on Israeli ynet, that the ’evidence’ USA posses is actually a phone call between a person at the syrian defense ministry trying to verify with the chemical units who did what and why...The meaning of it is clear : the USA doesn’t posses the legal means to associate Assad’ regime with the attack ... on the face of it any act of aggression against Syria is strictly criminal... Also what it also means is that an American attack on Assad infrastructure would have no effect on the chemical units and may even encourage them to operate autonomously again... It is a total mess and America as usual is about to step into it... Gilad Atzmon
