In today's Ha'aretz, Aluf Benn writes: Before presenting to the Israeli public his "convergence initiative" to pull out of most West Bank territory, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert briefed the Americans last week on the main thrust of the plan...

The latest version... was formulated with the prime minister's advisor Dov Weissglas, who played a pivotal role in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan. Weissglas told senior American officials about the option of a pullout from areas deep within of the West Bank, and it has been debated extensively in the media.Good old Dov Weisglass. Before Sharon was a drooling vegetable, Weisgass was his Karl Rove. As this piece notes, he explained Sharon's Psy-Op Disgagement/Retreat from Gaza to Ha'aretz:"The preservative of the sequence principle. It is the bottle of formaldehyde within which you place the president's formula so that it will be preserved for a very lengthy period. The disengagement is actually formaldehyde. It supplies the amount of formaldehyde that's necessary so that there will not be a political process with the Palestinians."In a 16 February interview with AFP, Weisglass again betrayed his government's obsession with genocidal policies when he described Apartheid Israel's failing post-Hamas Landslide siege of Palestine. "The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet but not make them die of hunger."

Because of Exterminist policies like those sold to the world by people like Weisglass, Apartheid Israel now faces intense political pressure on a number of fronts - a hunger strike by Palestinian political prisoners, infighting over Iran policy, and increasing violent repression of peaceful protest against the Apartheid Wall,

They will invariably respond with more assassinations, more bombings, more church attacks, more land theft. Also expect an enormous military attack on Iran that could trigger a world war.

Apartheid Israel - working with France, with Britain, with Germany and with Uncle Sam, and with others - is already fighting a publicly announced war against Palestine, against Lebanon, against Syria, against Iraq, and against Iran.

With this pending sneak attack against Iran, Apartheid Israel hopes to change the political dynamic in a way that demands further aggression against Iran from Uncle Sam, NATO, and others. Faced with hostile resistance to Exterminist policies throughout the region and the rise of political resistance movements like Hamas, Hizbullah, and the Iraqi Sadrists, they want to broaden the terrain of the ongoing regional war and facilitating the theft of land and resources beyond Occupied Iraq, Occupied Palestine, the Occupied Golan, and Occupied Shebaa Farms.

Uncle Sam's desire for war coupled with its inability to muster enough political support for an attack on Iran before the new oil bourse takes shape has made it necessary to 'bypass' the UN.

Apartheid Israel's sneak attack will do just that.
