Here is the situation: World leaders are lining up, either on the side of the Islamic terrorists (Chirac and Putin) or the side of their victims (the United States and -- somewhat -- Great Britain). The Vatican, which has an unsavory record in regard to the periodic slaughters of the Jews has thrown its moral weight (such as it is these days) onto the scales against the Jews. As the Hizbollah terrorists fire hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities from Lebanon and the Pope condemns Israel's attempts to destroy the rockets aimed at its citizens, Israel's chief of staff is forced to concede that those rockets can reach farther than previously thought, putting more Israelis in danger. Meanwhile, the Syrian terrorist state tells Time magazine that it could destroy Israel's nuclear sites. Hizbollah, Hamas, Iran and Syria occupy areas that are one hundred times the size of Israel and the populations they control are ten times the size of Israel's. Hizbollah and Hamas, and their patron Iran, have sworn to remove Israel from the face of the earth -- in those very words. Iran has defied the world community in asserting its determination to complete its nuclear program. Syria supports Iran, hosts Hamas and is a party to this malignant Islamic crusade. Behind them stand Russia and China and North Korea, and also apparently the international left which is lining up squarely behind the jihadists -- and has been doing so throughout the open preparation of this second holocaust. The left's favorite apostle Noam Chomsky only months ago was embracing Hizbollah's Hitler, Hassan Nasrallah, and his genocidal agendas.
So here is the issue: If you were Israel's prime minister, could you afford to wait until Iran attains nuclear warheads for Hizbollah's missiles? Or can you be sure it hasn't already been supplied such warheads by Russia or China through Iran? Could you afford to wait to see if Syria will supply the chemical and biological weapons it has cached for Saddam Hussein to Hizbollah and Hamas? Or would you proceed to plan B and obliterate them now?
While the Israeli prime minister ponders this question, leftists who are encouraging the forces of genocide -- Hizbollah, Hamas, Syria and Iran -- might want to think how all the present bloodshed and the next terrible decisions that Israel must take to defend itself -- and their consequences -- will lie on their heads.
Please, God no.
If it goes nuclear, with the Iranians launching the first shot, then the complete blame will fall to the Euros and the Russians. Old world politics at their best.
I don't know about the war, but I do predict this thread is going to go "nuclear."
What would Russia care if a few nukes hit Israel? Russia might even feign outrage by crashing down into iran and seizing it's long coveted warm water access and everyone would applaud the way russia came to the rescue.
Most likely Iran will not fire a missile at Israel. A more likely scenario is that they will hand off a nuclear device to Hamas or some other terrorist organization. That way they can plead innocent to the world.
Why.....>>>>???? The church?
The only question is the date.
Ding Ding Ding
you would think that in a reasonable world, nuclear is the last thing anyone would want..however, there are many unreasonable leaders (read moozlims) who wouldn't hesitate, I don't think..
bttt
Ding Ding Ding Again
I wonder if Mr. Horowitz would care to elaborate on this.
I'm really concerned by the fact an Israeli warship could be hit by a drone........I have a bad feeling that Israel may be over confident in this one, and if so, may find themselves in a position where they'll have no choice but to go nuclear....
Response: No.
If such a thing were to occur, I believe Iran would exist for only a short time afterward.
Getting a bit over the top. Israel has shown extreme restraint in exercising their nuclear option. The closest they came was the '73 YomKippor war. They are like us, they will hold back until they are hit with NBC or there is no question or doubt that Iran has a bomb. The they will cry havoc and release the dogs of war.
This idiot is supposed to be the next to last Pope, he keeps going and he will be.
Something drastic has to be done or this will never end. The only way to end a very long war is to win it and make sure the price is too high to fight again.
he doesn't need to... World War II ring a bell.
Truth is this pope and the vatican are clearly against the jews and jewish state. It would be best for them not to speak out at all. Or go to Iran and visit...
