Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to the late Secretary of State Colin Powell, says Israel has adopted a policy of terrorizing the Palestinian population so that it will accept apartheid. “Every time you shoot a rocket at us, we will kill 1300 of you, men, women and children it doesn’t matter. And you will kill two or three of us. OK? We will live with those odds. And we will eventually eradicate you. I’m convinced that’s their ultimate goal, eradication and/or apartheid.”
Israel is a “strategic liability of the first order” for the United States and is “the most likely state in the world to take the United States to Armageddon,” says Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Sec’y of State Colin Powell. And the neoconservatives planned to set the Middle East on fire so that Israel’s enemies wouldn’t be able to give it trouble.
