Israel targeting Iran for supporting Palestine

James Morris, a political commentator from Los Angeles, has joined Press TV to shed more light on the Zionist regimes nuclear weapons stockpile and the threat it poses to the international community.
What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Press TV:Mr. Morris, reading between the lines, do you think that Netanyahus comments signify this apprehension on Israels part that the focus is now slowly shifting towards Israels nuclear weapons arsenal, and the fact that it is a non-signatory to the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty)?

Morris:I think that it is just hypocritical with Benjamin Netanyahu pushing for harsher sanctions against Iran when, like you said, Iran is a signatory of the NPT treaty and Israel is not with its 200 to 400 nuclear weapons that we know about from the brave Israeli Mordechai Vanunu who is still held in Israel under harsh conditions for decades and American media never talks about that either.

One thing you also have to look at is, look at how Israel got its nuclear weapons, nuclear smuggling which Netanyahu from what I have read, was associated with from the US, from nuclear facilities in Pennsylvania, at least in Pennsylvania and that is how Israel developed its nuclear facilities at Dimona.
But I think what you have to really look at here is that Iran has been sincere and diligent in, actually, trying to make peace talks here with the nuclear program, at Geneva, which is upcoming.

They are willing to not enrich at the 20 percent level which you need for nuclear weapons and theyre willing to enrich at five percent. They are willing to, also open up their facilities to UN inspection. We do not see Israel doing that at Dimona.

The last US president that tried to curtail Israel with that was President John F. Kennedy and he was later assassinated.
I think another thing what you really have to look at here, though, is the main agenda for Israel is not limiting the nuclear weapons that Iran has. Obviously we know that there is no credible evidence that Iran even has a nuclear weapon. The main agenda here is regime change and that is going back to the strategy for Israel in the 1980s by the Israeli Likudnik Oded Yinon, which the neoconservatives .... of the Israeli lobby have put into play for Iraq and Syria and Iran and the Saudis do not even really know that they are on the agenda of Oded Yinon as well.

So, sanctions do not work, we know...

Press TV:Do you think that the world will aggressively pursue Israels nuclear file now? Considering, as you just mentioned, it is a regime which abuses human rights; it does have nuclear weapons arsenal, it is a non-signatory to the NPT and it has not opened up its sites to nuclear weapons inspectors?

Morris:Well, what is very concerning to me is, you have the Transatlantic Institute, which is basically, the Israeli lobby for the European Union and they are putting a lot of pressure on the European Union to pursue harsher sanctions.

You have got the Conservative Friends of Israel and the Labor Friends of Israel which are the Israel lobby in the UK, which are pushing for that. So, they are putting a lot of pressure on the Tories there, or the coalition, Prime Minister Cameron, and you also have AIPAC, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, in America along with the neoconservatives pushing for harsher sanctions.

Let me close with this, my concern is that if Obama is reluctant and does not go along with the harsher sanctions, Israel could possibly initiate an attack on Iran and AIPAC, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Israeli lobby in America, already has the Israeli occupied Senate, with a resolution that was written by AIPAC to help defend Israel if they get into a war with Iran.

You go to my ushijacked.com blog for more on this. It is very concerning. That is the scenery we have to watch for.

Again, the sanctions are just a pretext. Netanyahu wants a regime change, so Iran cannot help the Palestinians and then he can, basically, transfer the Palestinians to Jordan and make a greater Israel agenda.

That is what their plan is here.
