And given his security credentials, Mofaz would give Netanyahu an important stamp of support in a decision to strike Iran.

Mofaz is a moderate Israeli, which means he is an extreme right wing nut according to American Jew standards.

It must be that the kadima is finally quietly admitting that obama has abandoned them, and the Jews will have to save Israel on their own, and do it now.

If the Israelis can't swing a conventional war on their own, there could be a problem with this scenario. Putin would be interested in helping the Arabs more than Obama would be interested in helping the Israelis. The nuclear option would become a necessity.

Interesting, however I don’t think it’s wise to set our eyes on dates.

I predict that a thousand years from now, someone will be quoting Scripture, predicting that the end is nigh.

Bibi must have cut a deal which assures Security Council approval for an Iran strike.

“Mofaz is a moderate Israeli, which means he is an extreme right wing nut according to American Jew standards.”

And here is their platform:
The Israeli nation has a national and historic right to the whole of Israel. However, in order to maintain a Jewish majority, part of the Land of Israel must be given up to maintain a Jewish and democratic state.

Israel shall remain a Jewish state and homeland. Jewish majority in Israel will be preserved by territorial concessions to Palestinians.

Jerusalem and large settlement blocks in the West Bank will be kept under Israeli control.

Promoting equality for minorities.

Negative income tax (a progressive income tax system where people earning below a certain amount receive supplemental pay from the government) and national pension.

Increasing social security benefits and national health insurance.

Civil marriage.

Reform of police.

Very right wing, right?
