Sometimes, someone who is in a position to know says something that appears to be undoubtedly and incontrovertibly true. This is a headline just released in an email by the Financial Times:<\/p>\n

Joe Kent has seen the data. He was, until today, a US insider, a man who knew the intelligence. He was appointed presumably because he could discern the truth from the noise. I think that he has. I also am certain that he is right that Iran posed \u201cno imminent threat to the USA\u201d and that this war was started because of \u201cpressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.\u201d<\/p>\n

In my opinion any further debate on this issue is now irrelevant. Someone in a \u00a0position to really know has stated the truth, and I accept it as such.<\/p>\n

This war was illegally started by Israel and the USA at the behest of toxic greater Zionists.We are going to pay an enormous price for having tolerated their politics of hate for far too long, and for having also put up for too long with their claim that anyone who questioned what they were doing was antisemitic by definition when in practice it is their position that is fundamentally antisemitic by claiming that Jewish identity must always be wrapped up with genocide and military aggression, and even with the Jewish state. when all of those are wholly inappropriate claims to make, and anyone has a right to criticise the politics promoted by those living within the state of Israel.<\/p>\n

It is time to move on and now appraise the consequences of this toxicity for the world, and when doing so we will find that nothing good has come from it, including for upstanding, honest and honourable Jewish people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
