Convicted of genocide, Israel prepares new holocaust

By Kevin Barrett, TruthJihad.com

During a recent Truth Jihad Radio interview, Alan Hart told me that Netanyahu has “shot himself in the foot” on Iran – and may feel that the only solution is to stage a big false flag hoax, whether in Israel or the US.
I used selections from my interview with Alan in today’s Press TV op-ed:
Convicted of genocide, Israel prepares new holocaust
Below is a partial transcript of my interview with Alan Hart.

Alan Hart:
“I don’t think there’ll be war (with Iran) because that has always been a bluff by Netanyahu. We know that most of his military and intelligence people are against it, unless they could somehow bring America in. But one can never rule out the possibility of an Israeli false flag operation, something dreadful that they would seek to blame on Iran. I’m not predicting it. I don’t think it’s likely. But I’m afraid you can’t rule out anything. Because it is now a desperate game for Zionism. Because (the Iran nuclear agreement) would mark the first-ever really big defeat for the Zionist lobby. And as I said, it would free up Obama to be serious about Israel-Palestine.”
Could another Israeli attack on America could be credibly blamed on Iran, given the thaw in relations between the two countries?
“It would hardly be credible to blame Iran (for an Israeli false-flag)? Well, yes and no. It wouldn’t be credible to blame the present Iranian government. But Israel could say, ‘look, okay, so maybe it wasn’t they present government, but there are rogue elements in Iran! And this just goes to show their government doesn’t control them.’”
Are the Israelis really that desperate?
“I think apart from a false-flag operation, Netanyahu has shot himself in the foot.”
 Are the hard-line Israelis planning another Palestinian holocaust?
“On present form, I think there will be a final Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Because the whole Zionist game plan has been to make life hell for the Palestinians of the Occupied Territories. But they’ve nowhere to go and they aren’t going to pack up and go. So when it dawns on Israel’s leaders, as it will, that the demographic time bomb is ticking, and they can’t bring on-stream a puppet Palestinian government that will accept crumbs from Zionism’s table, then there will be the final ethnic cleansing. And it can happen very easily. You get six Mossad agents dressed as Palestinian terrorists and kill thirty, forty, fifty Jews or whatever. And that’s it. Away you go…an internal Israel-Palestine false-flag operation.”
“But the interesting question for me is – and talk about it a lot with friends who know even more than I do about Middle East politics – supposing you get the deal with Iran? Supposing my speculation is right that this does free up Obama to be serious about trying to oblige Israel to be serious about making peace on terms Palestinians can accept. What would he have to do? He would have to read the riot act to Israel. He would have to say to Israel, ‘It’s not in America’s interest that we allow you go on denying the Palestinians an acceptable amount of justice. And if you don’t make peace on that basis, I am going to have to start putting some pressure on you.’ And whether he spelled out the pressure or not, the Isrealis would know what that pressure was. It would mean, for example, an end to America’s vetoes of every Security Council resolution condemning Israel. And it would take us down the road to sanctions. So the question then becomes: If Obama went down that road, how would Israel respond? Now my guess is – and this is me really speculating – my guess is that most Israeli Jews care most about the relationship with America. And if it really came to it, if you had a President who, in this case Obama, was willing to read the riot act, I think the majority of Israeli Jews, despite the fact that they have been brainwashed by Zionist propaganda, they would say to Netanyahu and his coalition government: ‘Enough is enough. We can’t afford to be at odds with America to this extent. So make peace with the Palestinians on terms they can accept.’ That’s my guess. It’s not that simple, of course, because there is the prospect of a Jewish civil war if that happened.”
Might not Israelis just sit out Obama’s term?
“Well, I’m afraid they might do worse than just sit it out. I’ve just outlined the positive scenario, that reason would prevail. But there is an alternative scenario. It could just push a majority of Israeli Jews, in a country that is actually going towards fascism anyway, into saying: ‘Look, even the American President is now completely against us. That just proves the world hates Jews. Always has, always will. So we must unite to tell the world to go to hell.’ That is also a possibility.”
War, ethnic cleansing?
“On present form, I think there will be a final Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Because the whole Zionist game plan has been to make life hell for the Palestinians of the Occupied Territories. But they’ve nowhere to go and they aren’t going to pack up and go. So when it dawns on Israel’s leaders, as it will, that the demographic time bomb is ticking, and they can’t bring on-stream a puppet Palestinian government that will accept crumbs from Zionism’s table, then there will be the final ethnic cleansing. And it can happen very easily. You get six Mossad agents dressed as Palestinian terrorists and kill thirty, forty, fifty Jews or whatever. And that’s it. Away you go…an internal Israel-Palestine false-flag operation.”
“American presidents are frightened that if Israel was pushed too far, against its own will, it would create mayhem in the reason. That’s not just guesswork on my part. I once had a very good long conversation with President Carter, when I was doing my secret Middle East peace initiative between Arafat and Peres. I met with Carter after he was out of office. You remember, early on in his first term, his only term, he did this great major deal with the Soviet Union. It was the Joint US-Soviet Declaration of Principles for Peace. And the whole world, the whole journalistic and commentators’ world, said ‘Maybe this is finally it. They’ve got the US and the Soviet Union prepared to do it (make peace in Palestine-Israel). The Arabs accepted it. Even Arafat accepted it for the PLO, though in substance it gave the Palestinians nothing. Who rejected it? Surprise, surprise: Israel. Now what happened was that Moshe Dayan, Israel’s one-eyed warlord, had crossed the floor from the Labor Party to join Begin’s coalition government and become his Foreign Minister. And when that Joint US-Soviet Declaration was published, Dayan went to the White House. And when he left it, the Joint US-Soviet Declaration had been torn up and replaced by a new Memorandum of Agreement between America and Israel. Now when I talked with Carter, I said to him, ‘Look, the common speculation is that Dayan played the usual game and said ‘Don’t go down that road Mr. President or you’ll never get a second term.’ And I said to President Carter ‘I don’t believe that; it was still quite early in your first term, and if you’d pulled it off, they might have even asked you to have a third term!’ And he said – and I’m not quoting him exactly – but he said I was right, to the extent that there was much more to it. And what he actually said was, that what Dayan said to him was, ‘Mr. President, my Prime Minister is mad. He’s quite capable of bombing the oil fields.’ So there are two great crosses, if you like, on the Oval Office desk. One is the Zionist Lobby’s influence; the other is the American fear of what an angry Israel might do in the region to cause mayhem and disrupt the global economy or whatever.”
The madman theory?
“When I was doing my Mideast shuttle diplomacy, I had reason to keep Ezer Weizman informed. Although he was part of the Begin government, he loathed it and was trying to keep it from going totally bananas. And I had an appointment with him one day, to meet with him at 12 o’clock in the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv. And when I arrived, strangely the Ministry of Defense was very, very empty. Yes, it was lunchtime, so people were out strolling along the beach or whatever. But it still seemed to me very empty. At the desk they said to me, ‘The Minister’s not here at the moment. But he’s asked that you wait in his outer office. And about twenty minutes later, Ezer Weizman, Israel’s Defense Minister…I heard what sounded like weary steps coming up the stone steps to his office. And he stood in the doorway. He was quite a big man. And he leaned against the door, and he looked exhausted, and he said ‘shalom.’ Then he walked over to me, put his arm around my shoulder, walked me into his inner sanctum, and closed the door. He plunked himself into a chair, chucked his own feet on the desk, and motioned me to sit in the chair opposite. And I was sitting there looking at him…he seemed to be looking at me, but he was obviously looking right past me. And I said to him, ‘Ezer, you’ve obviously got a big problem on your mind.’ I imagined that maybe an Israeli plane had been hijacked or shot down. So I said, ‘Shall I make another appointment?’ And he said, ‘No, Alan, I’ll tell you why I’m late.’ He said: ‘I’ve just been checking out something.’ He said ‘This lunchtime, Sharon convened a meeting of many senior military officers, and they had signed a blood oath that in the event of any Israeli government withdrawing from the Occupied Territories, those who had signed the oath would take the men loyal to them, join forces with the settlers who would oppose the implementation of any withdrawal, and fight their own government to the death. Now when Ezer told me that story, he looked at me and he said: ‘Do you think Sharon would do that?’ And I said ‘Ezer, I’m a visiting goy! You’re Israel’s Defense Minister! What do YOU think?’ And he said: ‘Of course he would. He’s mad enough to nuke the entire fu$king Arab world.’ Quote-unquote. So yes, there’s madness and madness.”
