Netanyahu Takes Away Trump’s Off-ramp

Paul Craig Roberts

I have concluded that there is no government on Earth involved in major events that is based in reality.  Let’s begin with Israel, Washington, Iran, Russia, China.

Israel’s unrealism is the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel–Israel from the Nile in Egypt to Pakistan, the entirety of the Muslim Middle East. This agenda is the driver of the current Israeli-American war against Iran, with Turkey, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia waiting in the wings.  Israel has already successfully used Washington to destroy Libya, Iraq, and Syria as functioning Arab states.  The Middle East is a large area comprising many people.  Israel is tiny with a small population and has no possibility of occupying and controlling such a large area as the Middle East.  Yet the Zionist agenda is the predominant goal of the Israeli government. No one in Washington, Europe, Russia, India, China, and the Middle East comprehends that as long as Greater Israel is the Zionist agenda peace is totally impossible in the Middle East.  Yet, no government, not even Iran, is sufficiently grounded in reality to see this glaring fact and propose negotiating away Israel’s commitment to Greater Israel.  Instead, negotiations are focused on negotiating away Iran’s right to enrich uranium and to manufacture missiles.  Such negotiations do nothing to deter Israeli aggression. They make Israeli aggression easier.

Iran’s unrealism is the belief as evidenced by Iran’s 10-point program that peace can be obtained without addressing the Zionist agenda.  Iran believes that if the 10 points are accepted and enforced, peace will be the consequence.  Yet Iran’s 10 points make no reference to the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel, expressed by America’s Zionist neoconservatives as seven countries destroyed for Israel in five years.  Clearly, the Iranian government has no understanding that peace in the Middle East depends on one thing and one thing only–Israel’s abandonment of the Zionist agenda.........more.........
