The attack on the USS Liberty came close to causing a nuclear attack.

Israel is a "strategic liability of the first order" for the United States and is "the most likely state in the world to take the United States to Armageddon," says Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Sec'y of State Colin Powell.

 


 

Pay attention to the comments from retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson who was the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell who emerged as a leading critic of the neoconservatives. In remarks to Mass Peace Action last June, who has made some serious  assertions about Israel:

  • Israel won’t exist as a state in 20 years because it is delegitimizing itself as an apartheid state.
  • Israel is a “strategic liability of the first order” for the United States and is “the most likely state in the world to take the United States to Armageddon.”
  • The U.S. ought to tell Israel now to “change swiftly” or it will cease to fund and protect Israel, but the U.S. will not do so.
  • The neoconservative agenda in the Middle East was “to set the Levant on fire, to keep Israel’s enemies so at one anothers’ throats” that they could not give Israel trouble.

 Israel is not a strategic ally or an asset--it is the real rogue state in the Middle East and the US needs to stop supporting it.
