Israel's incursion into Gaza during the run-up to Obama's presidency was a signal to the new administration that Israel is prepared to act unilaterly against targets which threaten the state. ROFLOL, geez, are you comparing Gaza to Iran? The worst damage that Hamas could do is to give unsuspected old lady a heart attack with their homemade pipe rockets. OTOH, Iran warned, and Israel knows it, that any hit on Iran Tel Aviv will be be wiped out. Why do you think the Israelis were/are pushing for the US to do their dirty deeds? The Israelis know the consequences are going to be costly.
Why has crude oil suddenly began rising in the midst of a world economic downturn? I link its rise to recent reports about Iran's rapidly evolving nuclear program. With the hawks now controlling Israel, and Iran refusing to halt nuclear activity, I foresee an Israeli strike as imminent. Nonsense. A strike is not imminent. Israel's fear not to be wiped of the map, Israel fear is, with nuclear Iran, it can't commit genocide against Palestinians nor steal anymore land whenever it pleases it. In fact with nuclear Iran, Israel will be forced to make peace with its neighbors, which Israel so far has no intention to do so.
And if anyone believes Iran is setting up its nuclear program for peaceful purposes such as electricity generation, then they are deadly ignorant of what the Iranian leadership is all about. Hmmm, last time we checked, it was Israel that has been doing the killing of innocent women and children. In fact it was Israel that is in violates human rights on a daily bases.
If once a while Americans can get their head out of Israel's ass, they will be able to see for themselves that Israel is not as holy as it claims to be. |
