Please read the following report and watch the interviews with Larry Johnson who is “a veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism" with regard to Israel’s bombing of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus yesterday, 1st April.
Larry’s interview with Judge Nepolitano is particularly good.
Vanessa Beeley, who lives in Damascus, reported on Israel’s terrorist attack yesterday:
There is no other way to look at it. Israel bombed a diplomatic building protected under international law when it destroyed Iran’s Consulate in Damascus, Syria today. There is no justification for this. I don’t care if Iran was harboring Adolf Hitler inside the Consulate, this is an egregious crossing of a redline. The United States correctly condemned the fledgling Iranian regimen when “students” stormed the U.S. Embassy in the fall of 1979 and took hostages. Yet, when Israel destroys a diplomatic facility protected by the Geneva Convention, the United States plays dumb. At this point, Iran would be fully justified to launch a massive counter strike on Israel. This was an act of war by Israel.
Israel has made no secret of its plan to launch an invasion of southern Lebanon, which in my opinion, will be an ill-fated, feckless attempt to destroy Hezbollah. I must confess there is a part of me that wants Israel to do it because that is the only way the crazed Zionists will learn that they cannot kill their way to peace. Israel’s attack today in Damascus proves that it is a lawless nation. But Israel does not care about that. It is looking to create a pre-text that will force the United States to join the fighting to defend the Zionist cause.
But wait! Some of you may want to argue that Israel’s right to self-defense includes violating international law when it serves the purpose of Israel’s zionists. That is the problem. Zionism, at its root, is immoral. Let me take you back 84 years when Yitzak Shamir and Menachem Begin — two ardent Zionists who later served as Israel’s Prime Minister — were full blown terrorists. Did you know that Shamir advocated collaborating with the Nazis?
Lehi was unable to persuade the Axis powers to lend it support and became widely known as the Stern Gang.[9] Yitzhak Shamir was imprisoned by British authorities in 1941.[10][11][12] A few months after Stern was killed by the British in 1942, Shamir and Eliyahu Giladi hid under a stack of mattresses in a warehouse of the detention camp at Mazra’a, and at night escaped through the barbed wire fences of the camp.[13][14] Shamir became the leader of the Stern Gang,[11]
In other words, Zionists like Shamir and Begin were quite willing to attack the British who controlled the area we now know as Israel and Palestine and Shamir even favored working with Nazi Germany. Just one more example of the saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” No different than Hamas in terms of their willingness to make a deal with the devil in order to achieve their ultimate objective — a free, independent nation.
The attack in Damascus was not the only criminal act by Israel in the last couple of days — the Israelis bombed a car carrying UN workers involved with distributing food to the Palestinians. The victims, UN aid workers, killed during this attack were citizens of Australia, Poland, Ireland and England. Let’s see if those governments give a damn.
I did my usual Monday morning chat with the Judge. We focused primarily on the intelligence aspects of the 22 March terrorist attack in Moscow:
I also am posting a couple of other recent interviews. The first with Juan Rodriguez, who does a podcast from Southern California, and Scott Bennett, who splits time between California and Russia.
[I have been unable to find Larry Johnson’s interview with Scott Bennett on Rumble. It is embedded at the end of his post here.]
Please note that Larry also posted this article here on his Substack where most of it is behind a paywall.
Ordinary people do not want World War III. How do we stop Israel from these outrageous attacks? The USA won't stop sending money and military equipment, which would stop it. How else do we stop Israel and find a peaceful solution to this carnage?
Thanks for putting this together, Azra. Great reporting. I wish I had an answer to Diana - such important questions with no obvious answer.
