Israel’s Window to Bomb Iran

There are mounting signs that the right-wing Israeli government may think the timing is right for an attack on Iran, with growing alarms inside Israel about alleged Iranian progress on building a nuclear bomb – and with President Barack Obama fearing loss of key Jewish political support in 2012 if he doesn’t go along.

On Sept. 26, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Iran’s alleged progress, telling interviewer Charlie Rose that “time is short” before Iran obtains nuclear weapons and poses a direct threat to Israel and the rest of the world.

Yet, the key factor in any Israeli decision to send its aircraft and missiles to Iran is the degree to which Netanyahu and other hard-line Likud leaders believe that President Obama is locked into giving blanket support to Israel — particularly as Election 2012 draws near.

The Israelis might well conclude that the formidable effectiveness of the Likud Lobby and kneejerk support of the U.S. Congress as well as still powerful neoconservatives in the Executive Branch (and on the opinion pages of major American newspapers) amount to solid assurance of automatic support for pretty much anything Israel decides to do.

If Israel translates this into a green light to attack Iran, the rest of the world — even Washington — may get little or no warning.

  1. Israel is playing with fire of mass destruction, but I am sure they know how to control the mass of Arab countries. Because at some point the US won’t be able to fight on a side of Israel, and when US will leave and if CIA won’t replace Arab countries’ leaders with their puppies, the masses of hungry and angry people who had been suppressed by Western countries will march towards Israel for revenge.
    But at the end, not only Wall street rigged, but the whole world political system is rigged. I wouldn’t be surprised if Iran and Western Countries had made a deal, to start a war on Iran, to cover up upcoming depression.

  2. Unknown to most people, Israel has been involved in a covert smuggling/trade operation that has gained them a very large number of nuclear bunker buster bombs from the US. You can add to that, the clandestine ongoing program to allow Israel to smuggle spent rods of nuclear fuel from reactors that they have been recycling into weapons grade plutonium. The US refuses to sell spent nuclear fuel rods to nations such as France that has offered billions for these spent rods.

    Sure Israel is ready to attack. However, if Israel even dares to strike Iran, nations other than the US will literally take them out. The same goes for Syria. Neither nation is any wonderful thing, however, Israel is just being unrealistic and out of control.

    There is a lot more to this but it is too sensitive to mention in comment.

  3. I thought Israel would like to use the goyim to do their dirty work. oppressors never have the courage to be in a battle themselves. Israel always chooses the cowardly means of assassinating people.

  4. This is an old story. This has been discussed more than once.

  5. “The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

    so no surprise when they attack

  6. How many times have we heard this one?

  7. go ahead and try it you SOB’s, I’ll watch Israel get destroyed.
    every single one of your “neighbors”, will crush your nazi butts.

    • You must have forgot the previous attacks by Israels neighbors. Didn’t work then, and it won’t work should they try again.

    • I think so too it won’t work. They are too well prepared. They have too high wall for the masses of unarmed people to climb over. But at the end more and more people knows where all problems of the world starts.
