At the beginning of 2012, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he went to the annual meeting of the very powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) to pronounce a harsh indictment against the political line of the Obama administration, interrupted by the reading of a few passages of a letter, dating back to 1944, through which the US War Department had communicated to representatives of the Zionist movement its rejection of their proposal to bomb a segment of the railway line leading to the Auschwitz concentration camp. At the end of his speech, il leaderdel Likud he stated furthermore that «none of us can afford to wait much longer. As Israeli Prime Minister, I will not allow my people to live in the shadow of annihilation", thus exploiting the suffering of the Jews for ideological purposes in accordance with the now consolidated practice of justifying Israeli policy. The Israeli prime minister himself indulged in a scene of the same kind during the United Nations General Assembly in September 2012, appearing before delegates from all over the world holding a poster depicting a ball bomb with a lit fuse, on which he drew a corresponding red line, according to him, to the “point of no return”, i.e. the limit that the United Nations they should prevent to Iran to overcome "before it completes the enrichment necessary to manufacture a bomb".

SYRIA: THE PRECEDENT

It's the 1957; American President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Mcmillan decide that the time has come for "regime change" in Syria.

Shukri al-Quwatli the Syrian president who won the first democratic elections, the hero of independence was no longer reliable; it was getting too close to the Soviet Union and Washington and London could not risk losing control of Syrian oil, nor that Syria would become a communist stronghold in the Middle East.

And so the CIA and SIS were brought into play to study the best solution. And she was found: unleash a series of terrorist attacks in Damascus by pretending there was an ongoing revolt; carry out some targeted assassinations on the most influential figures in the government and a series of provocations at the Turkish borders, Iraqi and Jordanian forces that would push those nations to intervene.

CIA and SIS should have used “their capabilities in both the psychological and action fields”.

Among the Syrian government men to be killed, the first was Afif al-Bizri the Chief of Staff accused of being a man from Moscow.

The plan for "regime change" included funding for a "Free Syrian Committee" and weapons for "paramilitary political factions"; the forerunners of the current "Moderate Rebels".

The operation, now approved and executive, it ran aground due to Iraq and Jordan's refusal to launch a disastrous war in the Middle East.

The story of the attempted coup in Syria emerged a few years ago from the private documents of Duncan Sandys, Defense Secretary to the British Prime Minister and published by the Guardian.

The similarity with what is happening today is striking; but ultimately there is nothing new either in Syria or elsewhere.
