Netanyahu's practically rabid about the Islamic Republic. It's not about Tehran posing a threat. He knows there's none but claims otherwise. At issue is unchallenged regional dominance. Iran is Israel's main political rival.
Media scoundrels don't explain. They endorse Israeli belligerence. They consider opponents heretics.
Rupert Murdoch is a longtime pro-Israeli stalwart. He received numerous awards from Jewish organizations for supporting decades of Israeli lawlessness.
On September 3, his Wall Street Journal headlined "Why Israel Doesn't Trust Obama," saying:
His Joint Chiefs Chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey, warned against attacking Iran. He said he won't be complicit if Israel goes it alone. Is he freelancing or speaking for Obama, asked the Journal?
"We don't know what exactly Gen. Dempsey thinks American non-complicity might entail in the event of a strike. Should the Administration refuse to resupply Israel with jets and bombs, or condemn an Israeli strike at the UN?"His remarks "were counterproductive and oddly timed." At the same time, "(a)dministration officials have also repeatedly told the media that they aren't entirely sure if Iran really intends to build a bomb."
Annual US intelligence assessments say no evidence suggests a nuclear weapons program. The Journal called its reports "misleading."
"No wonder the Israelis are upset." Obama's "tr(ying) to sell to the public a make-believe world in which Iran's nuclear intentions are potentially peaceful, sanctions are working, and diplomacy hasn't failed after three and a half years."
