Israeli TV report shows air force gearing-up for Iran attack, says moment of truth is near
The Times of Israel ^ | April 15, 2012 | Greg Tepper

Posted on 04/15/2012 6:59:09 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

A major Israel TV station on Sunday night broadcast a detailed report on how Israel will go about attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in the event that diplomacy and sanctions fail and Israel decides to carry out a military strike.

The report, screened on the main evening news of Channel 10, was remarkable both in terms of the access granted to the reporter, who said he had spent weeks with the pilots and other personnel he interviewed, and in the fact that his assessments on a strike were cleared by the military censor.

No order to strike is likely to be given before the P5+1 talks with Iran resume in May, the reporter, Alon Ben-David, said. “But the coming summer will not only be hot but tense.”

In the event that negotiations fail and the order is given for Israel to carry out an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, “dozens if not more planes” will take part in the mission: attack and escort jets, tankers for mid-air refueling, electronic warfare planes and rescue helicopters, the report said.

Ben-David said the Israel Air Force “does not have the capacity to destroy the entire Iranian program.” There will be no replication of the decisive strikes on Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 or on Syria in 2007, he said. “The result won’t be definitive.” But, a pilot quoted in the report said, the IAF will have to ensure that it emerges with the necessary result, with “a short and professional” assault.

“How many times does Israel cry wolf? Go get’em boys and let us know how it comes out. Sorry we can’t go along. We are broke and Iran could not ever attack this country with a nuke. Did you know why? Russia had 20,000 nukes pointed at the USA and never fired one because they knew they would all die. Korea has Nukes and missiles and so what? They are crazier than the Shiites in Tehran. If you come in my house I am going to kill you real bad. Israel is not our house!! So good luck (if you are not bluffing again like I think) and may the better military win!!.”

Newbie, Free Republic supports Israel. You said, “Israel is not our house!! ...and may the better military win!!” It’s okay with you if they all get murdered by Iran? Best you post that on another website, not here.

“Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.”
___________________________________________________________
This prophecy is followed by the pronouncement that it is a prophecy of the last days. Keep reading and I believe you will find that out of one of the four countries that come about after the breakup, comes the Antichrist.

The angel saying that the prophecy is of the last days, and the male goat coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground has always intrigued me. Will we see the breakup of the US into four parts and out of one of these will come the world dictator? Only G_d knows.

Please remember that the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, all working together. One down, two left, but wait, Iraq is aligning themselves with Iran, so the axis has survived.

Shiites now have virtual control of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria,and the Gaza strip. They believe that they are the Gog and Magog of the Bible, and that they win, when the Mahdi returns to set up the caliph. They are dedicated to dying for allah. They are dedicated to bringing about Armageddon, they are dedicated to the eradication of Israel.

Well I think Israel has been well worth support over te last 40 years. The rumor is we have given them a trillion dollars of aggregate aid and 200 nuclear devices. But the money is all gone. It was squandered on wall street after the government demanded we make bad loans to people who couldn’t pay for “affordable housing” We all know that . Things have changed.Any way no offense intended. We just can’t afford world policeman anymore.

Whatever is done and/or whenever it is done, it will be swift, complete, and a total surprise to the world.

We may even see an attack by Iran, while they are feigning interest in talks.

I agree with you. I would add Russia and China to that group - they join these bad guys for reasons other than the Mahdi. We will eventually get to Armageddon.

I’ve read all your posts. You appear to be against everything, using lots of exclamation marks for emphasis - what are you for? What would make you happy?

Only if they are complete idiots. One can hope that they are, but they probably aren’t.

Claudehopper didn’t care if Israel died - now he died by the hand of Jim. God protects Israel (and so does Jim).

I do not understand nor have seen anywhere the US is in biblical prophecy. Eschatology has always been my hobby of sorts and I could be wrong but I've not sen/read anything about America. This parsha of Daniel has been agreed by many scholars to be of Alexander the Great and his dividing after death to the "strong." Granted:

The angel saying that the prophecy is of the last days, and the male goat coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground has always intrigued me

it's intriguing but Alexander the Great moved so speedily conquering especially Persia/Elam's one million man army this could be an idiom.

I have not studied all of Daniel in Hebrew and eschatolgy is fun but it divides a lot of Christians. I disagree on this but I hope we can pray that G!D reveals the true meaning

http://www.biblestudytools.com/daniel/8-5-compare.html

http://executableoutlines.com/dan/dan_08.htm

Correct me if I'm wrong but you tend toward this? maybe not exactly but similar?( see below):

http://www.theopenscroll.com/dan8.htm

This shows the hebrew and Paleo-Hebrew transliterations. All say "he touched not the ground" so no idiom, but what does this mean? Did the conquerer move speedily upon the earth as if their feet touched not the ground or literal as with airplanes? Does this exegesis fit the rest of the scripture? I'll refer to Acts 17:11 and study this more but to me it's a very broad leap to consider America in scripture( Just my opinion):

Oh, I didn't even know he said such things or I would have mentioned it in the "zottee vituperative excoriation" section.

Thank you, Gunner.
