  Press TV has interviewed Michael Prysner to discuss crimes committed by the Israeli regime in Tel Aviv and its key ally in Washington.

  What follows is a rough transcription of that interview:
  Press TV: Mr. Prysner, before we hear your side, or your view on this, I would just like to refer you to a 2012 Brookings Institution’s report that said and I am quoting here, “Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Assad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training.” Now, this policy, it looks like in full operation, do you see similarities and do you think this is what the Israeli presence and the Israeli attacks in the Golan Heights are about?

  Prysner: Well, our other guest said that Israel doesn’t want to be involved in the conflict in Syria, but this is not the first time that Israel has bombed Syria, in favor of those who are fighting the government there. I think in this situation, retaliation is a motivation. Someone in Israel was killed and so the Israeli government says, “We have to kill somebody; we have to kill anybody in retaliation for it.” So, those Syrian soldiers who were killed were the ones that were the deaths that Israel chose to be in retaliation.

  But there is more to this too. Israel would be very, very happy to see a Syria destroyed, a Syria shredded, a Syria thrown further into chaos and so of course the bombings are also in support of that, in support of Syria being destroyed as a country, which is in Israel’s interest.

  And then if this was something carried out with consultation with the United States, this is precisely the reason that Israel receives so many billions and billions of dollars of US taxpayer money, is to play this role in the Middle East. To be this attack dog on the leash of the United States, to act in its interests when the United States does not want to be openly carrying out airstrikes, they have Israel, a loyal client, to act in its interests for them.

  Press TV: I’d like to hear your response to that first.
  Prysner: Well, first that democratic uprising in Syria you’re talking about. You’re talking about the many thousands of foreign fighters who are carrying out terrorist attacks on civilians all over the country. You are talking about the region being on fire, maybe assuming to Iraq right now. Many of those forces who are fighting and creating the chaos in Iraq right now, are those fighters being supported right now, are those types of airstrikes in Syria facilitating there military victories or attempted military victories in Syria?
  –
  To say that Israel wants peace in the region, I mean look at what Israel is doing right now? Carrying out raids on homes of innocent people, gunning down civilians, mass arresting people… If Israel was really worried about protecting its civilians within its borders, it wouldn’t be taking out these types of actions to further stoke the flames in Syria, which is precisely what it is doing, with these airstrikes.
