From The Jewish Voice and Opinion:
As bad as the WikiLeaks scandal is for the future of trust between the US and governments throughout the world that must rely on American intelligence security, for supporters of the Jewish state, the more than 800,000 leaked classified US documents and 250,000 State Department cables lend credence and support to positions taken by the Israeli government. In fact, many observers agree that Israel is one of the few countries in the world that actually stands to benefit from the WikiLeaks revelations. In contrast to Arab and even American leaders, Israeli officials have taken the same positions privately and publicly on issues such as Iran.
The leaks prove, however, that there is a great disparity between the messages Arab leaders give to their masses and what they say in private. Worse, the leaked documents indicate that President Barack Obama may have intentionally tried to mislead Israel when demanding that the Jewish state make substantial one-sided concessions to the Palestinians in order to gain Arab support to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
No Israeli Warmongering
In addition, WikiLeaks has debunked the theory, promulgated by many left-wing pundits close to the administration, that only Israel is pushing for military action against Iran.
The documents show that Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah is one of several leaders of US allies in the Muslim world who, like Israel itself, has been urging the US to cut Iran down to size.
In 2008, referring to Iran as “evil,” King Abdullah asked the US to “cut off the head of the snake” while there was still time before the completion of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear weapons program.
In a March 2009 discussion with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, King Abdullah reportedly said, “You as Persians have no business meddling in Arab matters.” Then the king told White House Counter-terrorism Adviser John Brennan and other US officials, “There is no doubt something unstable about them.”Click on the above link to read the rest of this fascinating story!!!
