Israel dealt Iran a painful blow on Sunday when it struck a convoy of senior Iranian and Hezbollah commanders in Quneitra in the Golan Heights.

Some Israeli former security officials have explained the strike as preemptive action against an imminent attack on northern Israel. They pointed to an interview by Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah three days before, in which he talked about his fighters making incursions into the Galilee in the next war with Israel.

Another anonymous Israeli official claimed that the presence of a high-ranking Iranian general in the convoy was a surprise. But these details are parts of a cover story rather than a sincere explanation. The Israeli strike was the first, small move in a very big strategic game.

To understand Israeli behavior, we must take into account three key factors: Iranian influence in the Levant is expanding rapidly, it is doing so with American consent; and, moreover, no one in the Middle East actually believes that the Obama administration will stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

“no one in the Middle East actually believes that the Obama administration will stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon”

Is there a place where anyone actually believes this?

[goldstategop]

The US may acquiesce in a Pax Persiana.

Israel is not.

[SandRat]

Oh,! the CommieCrats.

America’s government under islamoNazi occupation Thanks to all the D party members who silently allowed their party to be hijacked away from them. And all the R’s who didn’t like Romney or stayed home for any other reason. Two more years of this krap

I wonder if the Israelis knew exactly who was in the convoy? If, so, Mossad is doing a good job of finding these things out.

“I wonder if the Israelis knew exactly who was in the convoy? If, so, Mossad is doing a good job of finding these things out. “

If the Mossad can get a bomb into someone’s cell phone, finding an Iranian general shouldn’t be a big deal.

He’s done all he could to place the most radical elements of Islam into motion in the Middle East and he’s been kicking Israel in the teeth the whole time. He’s using talking points from Iran... Obama is an inciter. He’s responsible for all the dead Christians his “moderate” pals have slaughtered.

They should "bug" a few more cell phones.

Maybe we should simply take the Syrian Golan, too. No sense letting them have the high ground, though it does get awful cold up there, according to a friend of mine who held it during the Yom Kipur war.
