If you read the entire article you will find links to places like the Washington Post, New York Times and numerous others.
There are also excellent pictures and maps to lighten the reading.
After taking in all the information, if you want to comment that the story was biased against Israel, etc., I’d welcome your comments.
I’m sure you’ll find the article as a whole is not about Israel.
How is Israel expansionist?
“If you read the entire article you will find links to places like the Washington Post, New York Times and numerous others.”
But what’s striking is that this article doesn’t include a link to the very JSOU “Dividing Our Enemies” report that it is supposedly based on.
Why is that? Is it unavailable?
No, it’s readily available. I found it in seconds right here:
http://www.hoover.org/sites/default/files/uploads/inline/docs/dividingourenemies.pdf
The reason that it isn’t linked is because then you could read the report for yourself. You’d see that it’s a study on getting our enemies to fight among themselves and the unforeseen hazards of doing so.
The study doesn’t say that the “West created ISIS” or that our Special Operations Forces intended for civilians to be “caught in the crossfire”. That’s just propaganda from the fertile mind of the leftwing conspiracy crank who wrote the essay.
MintPress is a self-publishing website. The author of the piece is Nafeez Ahmed, “environment writer “for The Guardian, the leftwing British tabloid.
The late Christopher Hitchens once denounced Ahmed as “a risible individual wedded to half-baked conspiracy-mongering”
And Discover magazine “has repeatedly labelled Ahmed as a “doomer.” A December 2013 blog post says: “Once someone starts down this civilization-is-collapsing road, like Guardian blogger Nafeez Ahmed, it’s hard to stop. If you want a tour guide to the apocalypse, Ahmed is your guy.”
Read the JSOU report yourself. Nafeez Ahmed misrepresents the report and he’s spouting propaganda.
