American Analyst to Press TV: Barack Obama Instrument of ’Israel’ Lobby

An American political commentator said US President Barack Obama is an instrument of the “Israel” lobby, just like his predecessor George W. Bush was, Press TV reported.

“I think it’s important that we understand that he [Obama] is just as much a tool for the “Israeli” lobby as George Bush was,” said broadcaster and commentator Mark Dankof in a recent interview with Press TV in its program “The Debate”.

Dankof then noted that during his visit to “Israel” in March, Obama “made it very clear that he owed his election to the United States Senate… and his subsequent election as president… to the overwhelming support of the “Israeli” lobby.”

“The fact of the matter is that whether you’re looking at American or European support for these sanctions against Iran, “Israel” and the… lobby are behind it all. They are the driving force behind what’s happened up to this point,” he noted.

“The United States, the Obama administration, is working in tandem with “Israel”, with Saudi Arabia, the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation states and Turkey to overthrow a regime in Syria because that needs to happen as a prelude to an attack, a military attack, on the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he revealed.

“Mr. Obama is fully in support of this sinister policy as a majority is in both Houses of the American Congress,” Dankof argued.
