Israel: We Are Ready For Iran, Syria, Hezbollah
By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
Jerusalem ----- February 19, 2008 ....... As the Israel Foreign Ministry protests to the UN repeated statements by Iran to "wipe Israel off the map" security analysts in Israel say that the Jewish democratic nation is more than ready for any aggression by Iran, Hezbollah and Syria.
"Israel was born from the ashes of the Holocaust," said an Israel security analyst. "As such, Israel, the Jewish people and every democratic nation would not allow a second Holocaust to take place. Israel is more than prepared to meet any challenge by the new racist Nazi regime in Iran. We know every step they take, we know the color of the underwear that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah wear. If they think that the US can shoot down a satellite with laser pin point accuracy, they have not seen the weapons that Israel would and could use to defend herself - and I am not talking about nuclear or biological."
Iran's Revolutionary Guards yesterday stated that the Hezbollah in Lebanon would destroy Israel.
"In the near future, we will witness the destruction of Israel, the aggressor, this cancerous microbe Israel, at the able hands of the soldiers of the community of Hezbollah," the ideological force's commander, Mohammad Ali Jafari, was quoted by the Iran Fars News Agency.
Iran's Fars News Agency reported that Jafari's prediction appears in a letter he wrote to Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese terrorist group Hizbullah. Jafari was offering condolences to Nasrallah in the wake of last week's death of Hizbullah mastermind and arch-terrorist Imad Mughinyeh.
"Undoubtedly the martyrdom of this sincere fighter (Mughniyeh) will strengthen the determination of all revolutionary and combatant Muslims, particularly his comrades, in confrontation with the Zionist regime," Ali Jafari was quoted.
Mughniyeh was killed in a car bombing in Damascus, Syria last week. Israel has been credited with the elimination of the wanted terrorist, who was responsible for several major international terrorist attacks on Israel, American and Jewish targets. No confirmation has been forthcoming from Jerusalem. US President George Bush commented only that "the world is a better place" without Mughniyeh in it.
The escalating rhetoric from Hezbollah in the aftermath of the assassination of terrorist mastermind Imad Mugniyah is "a profoundly troubling development" that should be taken seriously, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said in a statement.
Hateful anti-Israel rhetoric figured prominently in the fiery speeches during today's mass funeral in southern Beirut, with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah blaming Israel for the death of Mugniyah and calling for "open war" against Israel and "the Zionists." Nasrallah and other leaders said the terrorist organization was prepared to retaliate "anywhere" against Israel.
"The hateful rhetoric is a profoundly troubling development, for we know the past record of Hezbollah followers and it is not unreasonable that they or others could take this as a call to action," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "In this interconnected world it is not just the tens of thousands of Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon who imbibed this vitriolic hatred, but a potential audience of millions across the Middle East and around the world.
"These threats should be taken seriously as incitement to violence. We know what Hezbollah is and what they are capable of doing. The international community must not remain silent in the face of these open threats against a sovereign nation and its citizens and supporters," added Mr. Foxman.
Nasrallah told a rally of 10,000 mourners that, "If the Zionists want war, then they shall have it. "Zionists, if you want an open war, then let it be an open war anywhere."
Mugniyah was responsible for some of the deadliest attacks against Western and Israel targets around the world, including the devastating 1983 bombings of the American embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut, and the 1992 and 1994 bombings of the Israeli embassy and a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Following the assassination, Israel raised alert levels at its embassies around the world, with the Israel Defense Forces increasing security along the country's northern border and around key installations. In the US, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security advised state and local law enforcement authorities to be on alert for potential attacks by Hizbullah on Jewish communities or other targets within the US.
In response to Jafari's threatening letter, Israel's United Nations Ambassador Danny Gillerman filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council on Monday evening. He called on the UNSC chairman to publicly condemn Iran for Jafari's statements, which he characterized as anti-Semitism and racism of the "most serious" kind.
"Israel has never been more prepared for a conclusive war against Iran, Syria and Iran Hezbollah puppets," said the Israel security analyst."As always, Israel will take whatever measures she can to avoid a war. But if the perverted Muslim leadership of Iran continues to insist on murdering innocent Israel and Iran citizens, if the soldiers of Iran really wants to meet their 72 virgins, Israel is more than ready to provide a one way ticket."
Israel security sources state that advanced Patriot missiles have been deployed throughout Israel's northern border. The officials said that batteries were placed on standby Sunday for the first time since Israel's month-long war with Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, when the Lebanese terrorists fired nearly 4,000 rockets into northern Israel. The IDF would not comment on possible ground and space laser warfare weapons that they might have on standby. These advanced and sophisticated weapons, with pinpoint accuracy, could destroy a car, an underground bunker or a city in Iran or Syria.
Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday he anticipated Hezbollah would try to retaliate for the assassination, possibly with help from Syria and Iran, and added that Israel was more than prepared on all fronts for an attack.
A sounding rocket was launched into space by Iran on February 4. Iran states it was a preliminary step toward sending its first research satellite into orbit. Iran's state-run television had reported at the beginning of the month that Iranian scientists had built the Omid (Hope) research satellite under a project that took 10 years to complete.
"We need to have an active and influential presence in space," said Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who attended the February 4 rocket launch.
Iran media gave no details about the rocket, called Kavoshgar-1, but some experts believe it could be a variant of the Shahab-3 missile, which has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers (about 1,200 miles).
"It's unfortunate Iran continues to test ballistic missiles. This regime continues to take steps that only further isolate it and the Iranian people from the international community," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.
"We do not approve of Iran's constant demonstration of its intention to develop its missile sector, and to continue uranium enrichment," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Iran is currently involved in a critical conflict with the West over its uranium enrichment program, with two sets of UN sanctions against Tehran in effect. The US and its allies fear that Iran space and nuclear programs may both serve as a cover for the development of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles.
"It is no longer the citizens of Israel who now face a ballistic missile nuclear attack, but now every citizen of Europe has become a target," a French security analyst said. "It is for this reason that we applaud the US for its US missile defense shield program in Europe."
Awwww, I want them to meet some Virginians first . . .
Ping.

When did Israel get a new Prime Minister? I thought they still have the same one from the last go around with Hezobollah.
Until Israel lashes out with the kind of devastating force that utterly cows the Islamic world, there will be no peace. The British used to say “Arabs are under your boot or at your throat.” I think they were probably right. Those are the options.
Is Ariel Sharon still alive? If he passed, I missed the news.
Stop talking, Iran.
Go ahead...bring it.
“we know the color of the underwear that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah wear”
Pink with little blue butterflies.. LOL

interesting article
Good, because time is running out.
Gettysburg
There you go again, starting another neo-con war. ;-)
Unless its a Estes powered Hassan rocket being shot into Israel. Sorry boys, but after the last skirmish, ya'll looked like the Cowboys playing the Giants; all talk and pretty pathetic! Wipe out Gaza first and prove it, then we'll see! I triple dog dare ya!

..................
Just once I'd like to see a GOP'er talk like this.
I'm just sick of Iran's constant sabre-rattling. It's time for Iran to put its money where its big mouth is.
I just love Israel. :-D
I’m having trouble laughing any more. They’ve killed so many people and gotten away with it for so long that I hate to think they might get away with it again. So I’m not laughing anymore. But if I can make you laugh, that’s cool.
My wife and I have an understanding: if Israel is attacked, B-chan volunteers for the IDF. Not because of any idiotic Bible prophecy crap, but because Israel is the last bastion of Western Civilization in the Middle East.
And I’m Catholic.
I doubt they’d take me (I’m 42 years old), but I’d try. I’m good with most hand weapons and I take direction well...
I don’t know what will happen next January when another President is sworn in, but until then, Israelis can expect help from the US.
Sometimes I think I've seen too much.
Since we won’t do it, being crippled by our self-hating leftwing socialist PC crowd,
Israel must.
Must drive the Islamists back into their holes.
Years ago, I read about a tactical laser weapon that the US was researching. What it did was so horrible that the US decided to abandon the project. They sold or gave the technology to Israel who, I'm sure, would not hesitate to use it. I believe Israel has even sold the weapon to the Chinese (much to my dismay).
I’m betting I’manutjob is a “Thomas the Tank Engine” kinda guy.
It is not at all clear that the guy was killed by Israel; various factions wanted him gone, including his own comrades.
But Hezbollah is in a tricky situation if they DON'T blame Israel. They are between a rock and a hard place.
Which one do you think has “Dora the Explorer” undies?
OH HELL YEAH! That’s my Israel!
Memo to Israel from Virginia:
Please come down on those heathens like stink on an old hog and then commence to hurt them real bad! And the sooner the better, before 1/20/09
No wonder the left wing American Rats hate a strong Israel:
“Israel was born from the ashes of the Holocaust,” said an Israel security analyst. “As such, Israel, the Jewish people and every democratic nation would not allow a second Holocaust to take place. Israel is more than prepared to meet any challenge by the new racist Nazi regime in Iran. We know every step they take, we know the color of the underwear that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah wear. If they think that the US can shoot down a satellite with laser pin point accuracy, they have not seen the weapons that Israel would and could use to defend herself - and I am not talking about nuclear or biological.”
“Israel has never been more prepared for a conclusive war against Iran, Syria and Iran Hezbollah puppets,” said the Israel security analyst.”As always, Israel will take whatever measures she can to avoid a war. But if the perverted Muslim leadership of Iran continues to insist on murdering innocent Israel and Iran citizens, if the soldiers of Iran really wants to meet their 72 virgins, Israel is more than ready to provide a one way ticket.”
A suggestion to our Israeli friends: If a rat wins the presidential race this year, your country is doomed unless you take out Iran, Syria and the other Muslim Perverts. A good time to do it, would be as soon as the new rat is sworn in as President. Then, He/She/It can’t sell you to the highest Muslim bidder.
I wanna see Israel whip out the “brown noise” weapon.
Probably any hightech weapon that they have will have the same effect, though.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke
God bless Israel
Wonder if Hillary and Obama will be asked about the situation
Muslim battle call:
“It’s WAR! WAR I tell you, and before we crush you, oh evil satanic Zionist pigs, spare our women and children, and we will spare yours!”
[translation: the Muslim ‘warriors’ are hiding behind women and children, and wearing dresses and burqas]
Whatever they use, they better use it to kill, not just subdue. Collecting POWs will only lead to further “kidnapping” types of episodes where the Islamofascists are in a position to demand release of POWs. I am convinced theonly thing they understand is death.

We cannot wait.
That's wishful thinking. All Europe would care about is the prevailing winds carrying radioactive fallout. I think that any government making such threats as "Death to Israel" or "Death to America" ought to be attacked. We've let this terror attacks go on for 40 years without ever going after the State sponsors. Hell, American taxpayers are funding Palestinian terrorism. Insanity.
At some point, after they murder enough people, the American government will wake up.
This is the Foreign Minister of Israel that speaks in front of the UN Assembly. And yes, the PM is still the same legalistic, cowardly moron whom was in charge of the last bungled confrontation. Olmert is also the PM moron in charge of going along with Condi Rice’s demented notions of negotitations with the Islamic world at Annapolis and whom feels it is just cool to offer East Jerusalem to terrorists with nothing in return for it to Israeli’s. What a world we live in...
Geez, 72 virgins quickly becomes a hell in and of itself. For after your fun with the virgins, then you get 72 ‘pregnant for the first time’ wives.
And after that, at least 72 screaming, crying, cr@pping babies to look after.
:-P
