The Boys Who Cry “Holocaust”

The same neocon hawks who lied us into Iraq are using the ultimate argument-stopper to push war with Iran

We’ve been through this before. As one of the most disastrous wars in our history is coming to an inglorious end, the same neoconservative hawks who dreamed it up are agitating for a new war that would make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada — and using the ultimate trump card in American politics to silence debate over it.

o listen to the neocons and hawks, you’d think Hitler was about to send the tanks over the Polish border. Former U.S. ambassador and Dr. Strangelove impersonator John Bolton said, “The only alternative now is the potential for a pre-emptive military strike against their military program, either by the United States or Israel. Diplomacy has failed. Sanctions have failed.” For Bolton, Iran is the second coming of Nazi Germany: “If the choice is them continuing [towards a nuclear bomb] or the use of force, I think you’re at a Hitler marching into the Rhineland point … We’re still in 1936, but not for long.”

The Holocaust mind-set

But the most nakedly coercive use of the Holocaust was made by GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (whose trustworthiness in foreign policy matters can be judged by the fact that he criticized the Bush State Department for not cooking its intelligence to support the Iraq war). “I don’t think the United States has the moral right to say to a country whose people who have already gone through one Holocaust – two nuclear weapons is another Holocaust,” said in 2006. “And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs.” In language virtually identical to Goldberg’s, Netanyahu said that while the Iranian president “denies the Holocaust, he is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state.”

“We will always remember what the Nazi Amalek did to us,” Netanyahu said at a 2010 Holocaust remembrance service at Auschwitz, “and we won’t forget to be prepared for the new Amalek, who is making an appearance on the stage of history and once again threatening to destroy the Jews.”

      Did you ever ponder about the question: Who is promoting America's wars?

      Who pushed for the war on Iraq?

      Who is pushing for another war on Iran?

      Who is promoting concepts of American Exceptionalism., military necessity, and "leadership with muscle"?

      Who is indoctrinating American police and public with "educational" programmes of "Law Enforcement"?

      Who is fomenting hatred against Islam and Muslims just to conceal their criminality by pretending to be the spearhead fighting the war against terror and extremism?

      Who is offering courses in combating terrorism with their "superb anti-terror schools"?

      Who is posing as the world leading authority in understanding and explaining "terror" related issues?

      Who is supporting a pariah entity and promoting its interests despite all its violations of Human Rights and International Law?

      Who are those who hold key positions in USA policy making and Homeland Security despite being advocates and supporters of a supremacist racist Jewish group?

      Who is forcing us to go through radiating machines under the pretext of fighting terrorism while expanding and making a fortune in the process?

      Who is fermenting by deception, all sorts of wars and conflicts yet deceivingly they pose as the protector of peace and security?

      Who is honouring and celebrating murderers and baby killers?

      yes i wonder, with the exception of honoring murderers and baby killers, as that notion is just a product of dehumanization of a people, and im not so stupid as to think their are any people who could hold such a policy without destroying themselves.im sorry if you believe otherwise.

      im also not so consumed by paranoia to think one people are the answer to all of it.
      nor am i so arrogant as to think those questions have an singular answer and recognize the complexity of the matters at hand.

      thanks for inquiring tho
