Netanyahu, other Zionist leaders have lied for a century to establish Israel: US scholar

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other current and former officials in the regime have spread lies about Palestine for decades in order to carry out their Zionist project of creating Israel, an American scholar says.

Netanyahu “is an extreme psychopath and one of the most over-the-top liars and manipulators that we’ve ever seen in world politics,” said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a Ph.D.  in Islamic and Arabic Studies.

Netanyahu’s dishonest trait “is characteristic of Zionist and Israeli leadership over the past century,” Barrett told Press TV on Friday.

“The entire Zionist project of putting a so-called Jewish state, which is actually a Jewish supremacist state in occupied Palestine, has required a non-stop barrage of lies to make it happen,” he added.

“They’ve been lying repeatedly about specific events; they’ve staging false flag attacks blamed on their enemies that they actually conduct themselves,” Barrett said.

PressTV-Israel played Trump using misinformation: Tillerson

Rex Tillerson says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu skillfully “played” Trump on several occasions using 'misinformation'.

Dr. Barrett, a founding member of the Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11, has said that the US Deep State and Israeli Zionists were involved in orchestrating the 9/11 operation.

Barrett has said in interviews on Press TV that 9/11 was an "inside job," and a "Zionist coup d'état" to seize power in the country and launch a permanent war on Islam on behalf of Israel.

US officials assert that the September, 11, 2001 attacks were carried out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account.

They believe that rogue elements within the US government, such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, orchestrated or at least encouraged the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.

Former US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday that Israeli officials "played" President Donald Trump in their conversations with him, warning that a "healthy amount of skepticism" is needed in dealings with Netanyahu, who he described as “Machiavellian.”

Tillerson, who served in the Trump administration as the Secretary of State from February 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, recounted on Tuesday during a panel interview with Harvard professors how Netanyahu would use “misinformation” to trick Trump, whom Tillerson had on one occasion allegedly called a moron.

“They did that with the president on a couple of occasions, to persuade him that ‘We’re the good guys, they’re the bad guys,” Tillerson noted.

"We later exposed it to the president so he understood, ‘You’ve been played,’” explained Tillerson.

Netanyahu is “a bit Machiavellian,” he told the panel. “In dealing with Bibi, it’s always useful to carry a healthy amount of skepticism in your discussions with him.”
