Netanyahu Must Be Brought Down Immediately

April 24, 2010 (LPAC)—"An Israeli attack—any military action—against Iran would be clinically insane," said Lyndon LaRouche yesterday. "But Bibi is on such a tight British leash that he is capable of just such madness. Netanyahu must be brought down immediately, so some more sane elements, who would at least think twice before taking action that would wipe out civilization, can be installed in his place. Right now, the Netanyahu government in Israel represents the single greatest threat to start World War III."

Indeed, because of British agent Netanyahu's continuing threats of military strikes against Iran, the United States is on an insane course of imposing "crippling sanctions" against Iran. It won't work. The sanctions won't hold against Iran, just as the previous decades of U.S. sanctions and boycott of Iran has not led to regime change.

The sanctions are just an interim step towards war, despite good intentions by some U.S. officials, like Vice President Joe Biden, to use sanctions to avoid military strikes. On April 22, appearing on the TV gossip program, "The View," Biden asserted, "Everyone from the Israeli prime minister straight through to the British prime minister to the president of Russia, everyone agrees the next step we should take is the UN sanction route." Biden predicted that sanctions at the UN would be passed by May. He also said that the Israelis "are not going to do that," when asked if Washington is worried that Israel will attack Iran without U.S. consultation.

In Congress, sponsors of bellicose sanctions bills in both the House and the Senate, know that the sanctions are provocative, and are intentionally pushing these sanctions so that Iran will react, and provide an excuse for launching a war.

Speaking against a motion to appoint House conferees for a joint House/Senate sanctions bill on April 22, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) called the sanctions bills "an act of war." He said, "We need to see all this for what it is: Propaganda to speed us to war against Iran...." He said that the debate on the bill and the conferees was full of the "same falsehoods and distortions used to push the United States into a disastrous and unnecessary one-trillion-dollar war on Iraq .... The parallels are astonishing."
