The Atlantic’s Yair Rosenberg recasts Benjamin Netanyahu as a tragic figure forced to take radical action after October 7, ignoring his long history of fomenting war and exploiting Jewish trauma to further himself and his Zionist ideology.
The heresy of Walt and Mearsheimer’s Israel lobby theory was the claim that Israel and its supporters pushed the U.S. into war. Marco Rubio has now confirmed this analysis when he admitted that Trump went to war with Iran because of Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu may have finally gotten the war on Iran he’s long pushed the U.S. toward, but he also ignited the domestic battle over the U.S.-Israel relationship.
The U.S. media is predictably spreading government propaganda and ignoring Israel’s role as it cheers on the war against Iran and pushes for regime change.
