Was the Invasion of Iraq A Jewish Conspiracy?

Tikkun Magazine JULY/AUGUST 2006

Did the Jews do it?

The US Congress will open hearings this week on the War in Iraq — a wee bit late one might think. But one question at the forefront of the minds of many on both the Left and the Right is sure not to be asked: Did the Jews do it? I mean, after killing Jesus, did the Elders of Zion manipulate the government of the United States into invading Babylon as part of a scheme to abet the expansion of Greater Israel?


The question was first posed to me in 2004 when I was speaking at a meeting of Mobilization for Peace in San Jose. A member of the audience asked, “Put it together — Who’s behind this war? Paul Wolfowitz and Elliott Abrams and the Project for a “Jew” American Century and, and, why don’t you talk about that, huh? And…”


But the questioner never had the full opportunity to complete his query because, flushed and red, he began to charge the stage. The peace activists attempted to detain the gentleman — whose confederates then grabbed some chairs to swing. As the Peace Center was taking on a somewhat warlike character, I chose to call in the authorities and slip out the back.


Still, his question intrigued me. As an investigative reporter, “Who’s behind this war?” seemed like a reasonable challenge — and if it were a plot of Christ-killers and Illuminati, so be it. I just report the facts, ma’am.

And frankly, at first, it seemed like the gent had a point, twisted though his spin might be. There was Paul Wolfowitz, before Congress in March 2003, offering Americans the bargain of the century: a free Iraq — not “free” as in “freedom and democracy” but free in the sense of this won’t cost us a penny. Wolfowitz testified: “There’s a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be U.S. taxpayer money.”

The old incompetence theory again? Uh oh, were so dumb oopsie, now we need more funding more power and more control to make things okay again. How many more times are we supposed to let these people (politicians) hide behind that excuse Ken?

 

Sure but when was the last time that happened?

 

Who is bashing the jews?

There are alot of reasons we invaded Iraq and are building this embassy. The point of this article the way I see it is that the reasons we (Americans) were given (27 or more) weren't the same reasons we (coalition of the willing) invaded.

So if the reasons we were given were not the reasons for the invasion, somebody lied to us. I'm rather sick of being lied too.

Did you even read the article before coming to this conclusion Phillip? Just curious.
