Israel in the role of “bad cop”

Most of the analyzes that dealt with the assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who bears the fingerprints of Israeli intelligence, and perhaps also that of the United States, stated that among their most prominent objectives is to hinder the efforts of the president-elect, Joe Biden. , to return to a nuclear deal with Iran, in preparation for normalizing relations with it. There is no doubt that Israel, and Benjamin Netanyahu’s team in particular, will lose, after the departure of Trump and the ideological-ideological group that surrounds him, a “strategic treasure” in every sense of the word, which got where no previous American administration dared to fully conform to the policies of the Hebrew entity. For the remainder of his time in the White House, he will act, in full coordination with Netanyahu, to carry out other painful attacks against Iran and its allies, if he can. This is the meaning of bringing strategic “B-52” bombers to the region and the entry of the American aircraft carrier “US Nimitz” and other warships to the Gulf waters before the assassination of the Iranian scientist. It is a clear threatening message for Tehran for any response to this operation and any other possible operation. However, the question that looms in light of these events is this: What is Israel betting on when it resorts to dangerous staggered steps that contradict the declared approaches of the Biden administration toward Iran? Are you not afraid, as some believe, that the new administration will view your steps as a deliberate obstruction of its policies and that this will have serious consequences for its vital relations with the United States?

Any Israeli government, regardless of its degree of extremism and debauchery, and the military-security institution with significant influence in the strategic decision-making process, realizes the fateful character of the organic relations between the United States and Israel with respect to to the future of the entity, and part of the extreme concern for its durability when making decisions about the magnitude of the murder of the so-called B “My father is the Iranian nuclear project.” The bet in such a case is that the “good” cop, that is, Biden, will use what Israel is doing against Iran as a “bad cop” in his negotiations with the latter, to make the biggest concessions possible. The Israeli political and military elite is constantly preoccupied with claiming that the Zionist entity is the heavy stick in the hand of Western empires to confront the countries and peoples of the region, or “the citadel of civilization in exchange for barbarism” , as Tuder Herzl, founder of the Zionist movement, said in his famous book, The Jewish State.
It is true that relations between the United States and Israel went decades ago from a strategic alliance to something of an organic overlap, thanks to the cultural-ideological identification between the ruling elites. However, the great changes in the balance of power in the world and the region, and the consequent change in the priorities of the American empire, and the decline in the importance of the Middle East compared to the emerging ones in East Asia and China, impose to the leaders of the entity a redoubled effort to establish the role of Israel as a strategic necessity to preserve the US system of hegemony. And the West in the region against its opponents. He is aware that Obama’s attempt to “disengage from Iran” by signing the nuclear agreement with him was part of the aforementioned change in priorities, and that the same reasons explain the willingness of Biden and his team to reach agreements with this country. . But he is also confident that Biden and his team, which includes at its solid core true supporters of Zionism and its existence, such as Kamala Harris and Anthony Blinken, will hold firmly to what Harris called, in his speech to AIPAC, “superiority. Israel’s qualitative military “in your neighborhood. It is also important to remember that Blinken, when he was an advisor to Biden during his presidency of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the United States Senate, was the one who persuaded the latter to support the war in Iraq, as opposed to a broad current in the Democratic Party that was against. Blinken was also the main inspiration for the plan to divide Iraq into three states, which Biden proposed in the years after the war. If we go back today to all the data and information that was revealed about the background to the war, the subsequent dismantling of the Iraqi state’s military and security institutions, and the plans to divide this country along sectarian and ethnic lines, then what no longer suspicious is that Israel and its neocons in Washington are the ones standing. Behind these options that have been promoting since the late nineties. Why did Blinken support the war in Iraq and call for its partition even though he is not a neoconservative, and is against a significant section of his Democratic Party and its leaders? The only explanation, which becomes clear from following all of his positions throughout his political career, is his hard-line bias toward Israel.
The Zionist political-military elite knows that it has reliable allies in the new administration, including the president himself, who does not like Netanyahu, but is emotionally linked to Zionism and its entity, and is able to lean on these solid foundations to playing the role of “bad cop”, directing heavy blows at Iran. Before the democratic administration assumed its functions. The bet is that these attacks, which are part of the hybrid war that was waged against the Islamic Republic and its allies in recent years under the name of “maximum pressure”, would allow it to weaken its strength and stability, and lead it to make concessions that are not limited to its nuclear program, but go beyond its missile program and the process of developing its capabilities. Military and its allies. If they succeed, the entity’s leaders will have dedicated their functional role to serving the general strategies of the Western powers, which is the central reason for all the support and care it has enjoyed since it was planted in the heart of the region.
This role has acquired crucial importance for all the ruling elites of the entity since its inception. Israeli archives revealed that Moshe Dayan and Shimon Peres lobbied to intensify attacks on the Egyptian army in the early 1950s to win the support of France, which viewed Nasserite Egypt as the prime instigator of independence in the Maghreb. subject to French colonialism. Peres said during a conference on a “kibbutz” that “every bullet aimed at the head of an Egyptian soldier increases the value of our shares in Paris.” One of the objectives of the 1967 aggression against Egypt was to strike a blow at the Nasserite project on behalf of the United States, which was unable to do so due to its involvement in the Vietnam War at the time. The relationship between the United States and Israel moved to the level of a strategic alliance after this aggression. Similar functional logic governs Israel’s behavior today, which is trying to convince Biden, according to Nick Patton Walsh, CNN’s international security editor. that. That he is “capable of performing useful and aggressive services for the benefit of the White House.” “It doesn’t stop Biden from playing the role of a good cop when he shows that he can kill one of Iran’s most valuable human resources in the safe suburbs of Tehran.”
