25 YEARS

Could it be true that twenty-five years ago, an attack—allegedly involving the hijacking of commercial aircraft—was directed and coordinated by Israeli intelligence services with the aid of the Zionist neoconservatives who controlled (and still control) U.S. foreign and military policy? This operation brought down three World Trade Center buildings (via controlled demolition), struck the Pentagon (apparently with a guided missile), and fostered the belief that a plane bound for the White House had been brought down by its own passengers in Pennsylvania.

The goal was always to "convince" the U.S. public that they had been attacked by the radical Islamist group Al-Qaeda—founded with U.S. assistance during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (1979–1989)—under the leadership of Osama bin Laden.

Cui bono

Since then, all manner of theories have circulated in books, series, and—above all—on social media, aimed at diverting attention from the central fact behind the 9/11 attack: the launch of the "Global War on Terror," the primary beneficiary of which has been the rogue, genocidal, and apartheid State of Israel.

Thus, since September 11, 2001, U.S. puppet governments (closely followed by their subordinate European counterparts) have waged wars and carried out armed interventions, boycotts, and economic sanctions against nations Israel deems its enemies (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran).

Similarly, the "Greater Israel" project—that is, Israeli expansionism—has played out over these twenty-five years through the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupation of 70% of that territory; ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to expand illegal Jewish settlements; and the occupation and ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon, alongside the invasion of southwestern Syria. For international Zionism, the false-flag attacks of September 11, 2001, helped accelerate plans to permanently expel the Palestinians from their ancestral lands—to appropriate them (like thieves) and expand Israeli territory at the expense of Lebanon and Syria.

The destruction of Iran is currently underway, once again with the help of the subservient US government (it makes no difference whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican; they always end up doing what they are ordered to do from Tel Aviv), and all signs point to Turkey being next.

If the countries of West Asia (or the Middle East, as defined by the West) remain divided—hoping to curry favor with the United States or striking shameful deals with the rogue, genocidal, apartheid State of Israel—the only result will be the continuation of Israel’s territorial expansionism; the persistence of its massacres, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing; and its ongoing seizure of the region's natural resources.

Yet, the ruling classes of West Asian nations are more concerned with maintaining their power and wealth, avoiding friction with Washington, and preventing potential revolutions that might topple them at home, than with confronting the true existential threat posed by the rogue, genocidal, apartheid State of Israel and its lackey, the US government.
