Deep Dive
Why is the fall of Syria not a good thing for everyone except Israel?
The fall of Syria benefits Israel by neutralizing Hezbollah and weakening the Iranian influence in the region. However, it leads to the mass slaughter of Christians and destabilizes the region, causing more harm than good for other countries and populations.
How did America get involved in Syria?
America's involvement in Syria can be traced back to the Arab Spring in 2011, where the U.S., along with Saudi Arabia and Israel, supported the opposition against the Assad regime, which was seen as an enemy due to its alliance with Iran and support for Hezbollah.
Why did Saddam Hussein invade Iran in 1980?
Saddam Hussein invaded Iran out of fear that the Shiite revolution in Iran would inspire the Shiite population in Iraq to rise against his secular Sunni-led government, potentially siding with Iran and leading to an Islamist revolution in Iraq.
What was the role of the U.S. in the Iran-Iraq war?
The U.S. backed Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, even though Iraq was armed with Soviet weapons and Iran with American weapons, as part of a strategy to contain the Iranian Shiite revolution and prevent it from spreading to Iraq.
How did the U.S. support Saddam Hussein after the Iran-Iraq war?
After the Iran-Iraq war, the U.S. gave Saddam Hussein the green light to invade Kuwait, despite warnings from the Defense Department, which led to the Gulf War and subsequent long-term sanctions and no-fly zones enforced by the U.S. from bases in Saudi Arabia.
Why did the U.S. encourage the Shiites to rise up against Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War?
The U.S. encouraged the Shiites to rise up against Saddam Hussein to potentially overthrow him, but then betrayed them by not providing support, leading to a massacre of 100,000 Shiites. This was done out of fear that the Shiites, who had sided with Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, would take over and align Iraq more closely with Iran.
What was the Clean Break strategy and who did it benefit?
The Clean Break strategy, proposed by American neoconservatives for Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996, aimed to secure Israel's realm by overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq and weakening the Iranian influence in the region. It primarily benefited Israel by attempting to neutralize threats from Hezbollah and Iran.
How did the neoconservatives influence U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East?
Neoconservatives, who were essentially Israel-firsters, influenced U.S. foreign policy by pushing for wars in Iraq and supporting regime changes in countries like Syria and Libya, all in the interest of Israel's security and dominance in the region.
What is the significance of the Schofield Bible in American politics?
The Schofield Bible, funded by Zionists, has had a significant impact on American politics by promoting a theological narrative that supports Israel's actions, influencing Christian support for Israel without fully understanding the theological implications or the Talmudic teachings that are fundamentally hostile to Christianity.
Why is there a growing divide between younger and older generations regarding support for Israel?
Younger generations are increasingly questioning the U.S.-Israel alliance due to the realization that supporting Israel's actions leads to the mass slaughter of Christians and the destabilization of the Middle East. This is in contrast to older generations who are more ingrained in the belief that supporting Israel is a biblical mandate and a political necessity.
