The United States and Britain have been voicing more aggressive positions against what President Barack Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron have described as “Islamist extremists”.
However, many believe Obama and Cameron’s latest position has clearly revealed the hypocrisy of both countries in dealing with the issue of terrorism, specifically given that both the US and Britain face accusations of supporting terrorism.
Dr. James B. Thring, a London-based political analyst, has told Press TV that the US and Britain are toeing the line of Israel by getting themselves involved in a string of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa.
“They don’t really understand who they are backing,” Thring said referring to the US and Britain. “I think they have been… told what to do by people who do understand what’s going on and have an agenda.”
He said Israel is pulling the strings of the US and Britain – as two “very important” Security Council members – to try to change the attitude of people towards Islam and make it look like “as if it’s a kind of mad extremist organization.”
“They (the West) say that the Muslims are attacking way of life which of course does not make sense when you think about it. Anyway, but it certainly isn’t true,” he said.
Thring said there is an inclination in the West to demonize Islam, but questioned why this is happening.
“The answer is clearly set out in a document called Rebuilding America’s Defenses by Rabbi Dov Zakheim, Paul Wolfowitz and many other neo-cons on Capitol Hill,” he said, adding that the documents mentions military actions to topple governments in several Middle Eastern countries as an ultimate goal of American leaders.
