The Jews Richard Perle and Douglas Feith in particular, mapped out the destruction of Iraq in a policy paper prepared in Israel by the Jerusalem based think thank, “The Institute for Advanced Strategic & Political Studies” (IASPS). This body was founded by ardent Zionist, Professor Robert J. Loewenberg, in 1984 after he emigrated to Israel from the U.S.

In 1996, the IASPS prepared a policy document for the then Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Called “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” this paper, delivered to a IASPS conference held in July of that year, is still available on the IASPS website at http://www.israeleconomy.org/about.htm.

The paper’s authors? No surprise to learn that it says: “The main substantive ideas in this paper emerged from a discussion in which prominent opinion makers, including Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, (amongst others), participated.”

The reader will note that this paper was prepared some seven years before George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. In essence is says that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process was leading to a forfeiture of Israel’s “strategic initiative” and that the “loss of national critical mass was illustrated best by Israel’s efforts to draw in the United States to sell unpopular policies domestically, to agree to negotiate sovereignty over its capital, and to respond with resignation to a spate of terror so intense and tragic that it deterred Israelis from engaging in normal daily functions, such as commuting to work in buses.”

Perle and Feith continued: “Israel has the opportunity to make a clean break; it can forge a peace process and strategy based on an entirely new intellectual foundation, one that restores strategic initiative and provides the nation the room to engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism.”
