The whole world has come to oppose the Iran war, including most Americans. Just as Israel took part in the 1956 Suez crisis, which signalled the last hurrah of European imperialism, it is now jointly prosecuting a pointless but destructive war that is likely to spell the twilight of American hegemony.

This time, though, the Jewish state won’t get away so easily. From the Palestinian territories to Iran and Lebanon, it can no longer hide its Zionist expansionism that threatens the entire region.

The usually spineless European allies of the United States have no choice but to deny the US-Israeli aggressors access to their airspace and military bases. As German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said, “This is not our war.”

Domestic polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the war, not just because they are paying US$4 a gallon for car fuel, but also because many realise, having suffered too many similar wars, that such conflicts only benefit the military-security state and its billionaire backers – to the detriment of ordinary Americans.

However oppressive the regime in Tehran is, it’s clear the US-Israel axis is the real threat to world peace, and not just the global economy.
