WESTERN countries are fighting World War III and it would last a generation, former head of Israel's Mossad spy network, Efraim Halevy, said in Melbourne yesterday.
Mr Halevy, who ran Israel's intelligence agency between 1998 and 2002, said a major terror attack was possible in Australia.
But he said the public didn't appear to realise the seriousness of the threat.
"The threats today are aimed at destroying the whole way of life in democratic societies . . . of turning back the wheel more than 1000 years," Mr Halevy said.
The security adviser to former prime minister Ariel Sharon and now head of strategic studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said Islamic militancy was squarely aimed at establishing an international caliphate.
"The goals here are global. The goals here are absolute," Mr Halevy said.
"This is a modern-type third world war . . . (but) it's very difficult to convince the public there is a war at all."
Mr Halevy said the three major threats the world faced were weapons of mass destruction, Islamic terrorism and risk of rocketing oil and energy prices, and said all those threats emanated from the Middle East.
"If the world is threatened by the Middle East there is no option but for the world to come to the Middle East," he said.

The West has taken its collective eye off the ball, and we are losing the war against islam
The liberals do not see this as a war at all IMHO. They see it as a necessary step towards a world government in which we all 'participate'. As another poster said, their fascination with Islam is key to the fact that, when the Dems take over the W.H. and Congress, they will hand the U.S. over like a plate of appetizers.
Unfortunately I think is going to take a major terrorist attack on the US in which many thousands af people die and American muslims are shown on the six o'clock bad news dancing in the streets in celebration.
We will be lucky if the muslims do cause a major terrorist attack in the US to make people wake up.
If this doesn't happen, then we will probably slowly boil until we're all muslims.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping. War it is.
Maybe they should be introduced to the comparative birth rates....
I don't mean to go on and on but didn't anyone see this coming. The only shot we have is to STOP THEM, IN THEIR TRACKS. Go there like we did to Japan in WWII, We had to do it twice but then IT WAS DONE. The whole world has lost respect for the us. We either have to get INTO THIS DOG FIGHT or go to the tailor and get fitted for robes. A berqua for us gals. (sorry, I guess I'd best learn to spell it before I order it) I'll die fighting before I wear one of those things. Thanks for letting me rant, you guys are awesome. May God bless us all!!
I couldn't have said it better sassyb. I fought my war and now I'm pushing sixty and partially disabled but I'll be damned if I'll bow down to Mecca. Unfortunately, judging by the last few elections, about half of US would rather switch than fight. Possibly they think it won't come to that. I think they are just too decadent to care and don't want to be bothered with reality. Sadly, it's a toss-up who will decide our fate.
Sorry I didn't get back to you immediately, but better late than never, right?! Thanks for your service of this Country and for MY freedom. I know, by your age, what war you fought. (Please note I said WAR not police action). My brother fought there too. You men did not get the acknowledgement you so desperately deserved, that was an American sin. So I say to you Chuck. Thank you, and May God bless you and all your loved ones. We are forever in your debt!!!!!!!
Is that a fat farm?
Who knows what it is, lol.
