Israel, if backed into a corner in which they are relatively assured Barack HUSSEIN Obama will desert them (even work against them), has the Nuclear delivery capacity to turn every major Muslim city anywhere near them into GLASS. Be assured of that

So does Pakistan. That's not exactly a nation friendly to Israel and they can be bought with relative ease. A nuclear strike from Israel would prompt retaliation and escalation into a global conflict. Iran would love this. Bet Russia would jump in.

Is Isreal's nuclear capability enough to disuade escalation? Islamic nations have no qualms with sacrificing their own for Allah. It's the reason only the preverbial adults should have nuclear weapons. They would use the judiciously. But it would not be justified under any circumstances in the global media regardless of whether it was truly a "last resort" for the survival of their nation. I fear a global retaliation would ensue against Israel.

I hope this does not evolve into a "no-win scenario" for our brothers and sisters in Israel.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak 07/2012;

“The U.S.-Israel relationship is as strong as it’s ever been”

“But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past.”

Praise God for that.

Now everyone knows they are SOLO and they have no idea what is up ahead but, IN FAITH, going for it anyway!!

So THE WORLD can see how GOD is THE ONLY ONE who can/will help Israel.

And the same goes for America but too many chose EVIL in fear - and ‘their idol’ is in opposition to God.

Israel is not going to repeat the Nazis marching Israelis into the boxcars like sheep scene in the Middle East ever. Israel will launch every and anything they have at their Muslim Murderers, rather than be annihilated by the Muslims?????

Personally, I think you are very mistaken on this. There is too much history (personally, with American Jews even though they vote liberal) for an Israel/Pakistan question to fall on the side of Pakistan. No way. Too many questions about Pakistan's involvement in support of Taliban, Al Qaeda, harboring Bin Laden, et al. You also neglected INDIA who has an itchy trigger finger with respect to Pakistan.

Post #17 represents the scenario I fear. If egypt get’s involved, Russia will move aid Egypt because it goes against America’s interest. They could count on support from Iran as well. Pakistan always picks the winning side. Turkey? Saudi Arabia? Lybia and Syria are kind of busy at the moment and hopefully impotent.

This could get bad. Obama is going on vacation tonight after his press conference. (just assuming)

A good portion of Israel's security has depended on the implied support and defense capabilities of the US. It behooves Israel to remind everyone that America will still come to their defense. I expect they are hoping to disuade Egyptian intervention.

I pray that you are right on all accounts.

India and Israel have been, very quietly, forging an alliance in recent years.

The angels are prepared...

Numerous times, we find the angels acting as warriors that make up God’s great, invisible army. The expression, “Lord of hosts” is used over 200 times in the Old Testament which literally means: Lord of a multitude of organized soldiers.

When Ellisha’s servant was fearful of the army that surrounded them, he asked the Lord to open the young man’s eyes so that he could see the mountains FULL of horses and chariots of fire(2 Kings 6:17).

Didn’t mean to imply God wouldn’t be with them, and I believe that’s enough.

They are *not* going to be pushed out, He has said so, and He will prevail...

Thanks for summarizing the Book of Revelations in a form that can fit in a tweet. If this happens the Lord will be coming back and we won't have to worry about Obama anymore.

The Iron Dome missile system is in action against rockets being fired by the Hamas. From the Jerusalem Post:

Iron Dome [missiles] intercept 15 rockets

Since at least one rocket hit a shopping center, there must be quite a few rockets being launched.

Hopefully, IAF or IDF will be able to take out the rockets/rocket launchers. May be what the Israeli Navy is doing...

Morsi is nuts, but I’m not sure he’d use Egypt’s powerful American-supplied weapons on Israel quite yet or not. I guess we’ll know within a few hours.

How long can the population of Egypt tread water?

Benghazi was probably a signal to the muslims. “Don’t worry about us responding when you attack Israel. We won’t even respond if you attack Americans.”

And they’ll be dealing with a SOS who lied about the attack to protect the muslims. They’ve been given numerous signals. I hope Israel can see them, too.

So, who thinks Israel will strike within the next few months?

From the Guardian live site;

“Syrian rebels may have more powerful shoulder-mounted surface-to-air missiles than previously thought, if photographs posted by Brown Moses (Eliot Higgins) on his blog are correct.

Hmmmm,,,,,...
