The idea that Israel would attack Iran is ludicrous. Israel cannot even get her own house in order, and I mean Gaza and the West Bank.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas — and flea bites all over. That, Israel is doing. No wonder the enemies don’t respect her. Clean up Gaza instead of retreating, and maybe people won’t laugh out loud about a pre-emptive strike on Iran.
For now I will leave Netanyahu out of the assessment, because he’s obviously the best of the lot. But for the rest of them, Israel is defeating itself in a slow, agonized drip-by-drip surrender.
These are God’s chosen people. They do not belong on the defensive. Their leadership has sold them into something worse than slavery, and their abject posture toward the world will gain them what abject postures always gain. Another slaughter.
Rant over. Nothing further.
Or maybe the Israelis are quietly setting up some kind of trap, to goad the Palestinians into attacking Israel through a small window of opportunity, where Israel would feel justified into exterminating its implacable longtime enemy: the Palestinians.
I think Israel has been taking proactive steps into planning an attack. The exercises off of Greece earlier this year and the Juniper Cobra 2010 exercises with the United States tells me that something is going on.
