“Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran,” he wrote.

And then the bluntest line of all:

“This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war.”

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” he wrote.

Bijna trots meldt het het Israëlische leger dat het twee hooggeplaatste Iraanse functionarissen heeft gedood. Het kunnen dan wel foute gasten zijn, maar je kan toch niet iedereen doden die in jouw ogen fout is?. Dan ken ik in Israel, de VS en Rusland ook wel een paar.
