Israel can only rely on self against Iran threat: PM (Netanyahu)
AFP ^ | 7 Apr 13 | AFP

Posted on 04/07/2013 6:11:17 PM PDT by xzins

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel cannot rely on any other country, even an ally, when it comes to facing up to the perceived nuclear threat from Iran.

"We appreciate the efforts of the international community to halt Iran's nuclear programme," Netanyahu said in a speech on the eve of Holocaust Day.

"But at no stage will we abandon our fate into the hands of other countries, even our best friends," he said, in an apparent reference to the United States whose Secretary of State John Kerry flew in to Israel on Sunday.

"What has changed since the Shoah (Holocaust) is our determination and our capacity to defend ourselves with our own means," said the Israeli premier, who charged that Iran openly proclaimed an ambition to annihilate the Jewish state.

"The murderous hatred of the Jewish people has not disappeared from the world. It has changed face and become a murderous hatred of the state of Israel," he said at the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

Israel's way of saying, "We have nukes, and we'll defend ourselves."

The US should not rely on Israel to take care of the Iran problem.

That is an unbelievably gruesome poster. And it is truth about the jihadists.

Thanks

Unfortunately Israel, up until now, has restricted itself to some relatively minor things, such as futzing with software and arranging some explosions, maybe. But by now, they should have brought the entire Iranian economy to the brink of collapse.

Electrical plants should have been destroyed. Dams burst.

Iran has constructed 588 dams (big and small), with 137 more under construction and 546 planned. They could lose several dozen, at once, at it would put a big crimp in their game plan.

A city, and a nation, have pressure points that can really put them under stress if pushed.

Even good old fashioned bombing is fair game as a tit-fot-tat for all the mischief Iran is responsible for.

Imagine if a bomb took out most of their “guardian council”? How about their supreme leader?

Create an imaginary revolutionary movement that seems to be everywhere and nowhere. Industrial accidents spewing toxic smoke.

There really is no end to what the Israelis could do, but they have to start doing it in earnest.
