[PRESSTV] Pro-Israel American Jews are using the Treasury Department as a cover to wage economic warfare against Russia because they don’t like it, according to E. Michael Jones, an American political analyst in Indiana.Jones, a writer, former professor, media commentator and the current editor of the Culture Wars magazine, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Thursday.
The United States on Wednesday imposed new sanctions against Russian individuals and entities over what it calls their "malign activities" around the world.
The US Treasury Department said the sanctions target 15 members of a Russian military intelligence service and four entities.
The Treasury accused them of interfering in the 2016 US presidential election, hacking the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Moscow has repeatedly dismissed any meddling in the US elections as unsubstantiated.
"There is an irony here that no one is noting here in the mainstream press. The office for sanctions for economic warfare at the Treasury Department is controlled by Jews. And this is one group that has meddled in every single election in the United States -- for decades now ‐ it’s the Jews, particularly the Israel lobby, particularly a group like AIPAC -- the American Israel Public Affairs Committee," Jones said.
