What my point is, is that the various Muslim powers are pushing Israel into thinking they need to take dramatic action, on the order of Deuteronomy 20:16, in order to survive.

Perhaps Israel could adopt a policy of assassination of the more outspoken clerics and political leaders, plus the wealthy Arabs that finance the radicals?

There’s a lot of turmoil in the region. Some government/political leaders feel compelled to go on the record in opposition to Israel, to curry favor with radicals. Other leaders religious in nature, think there is a green light to capitalize on old Jewish/Israeli hatreds.

I don’t see evidence that these loud mouthed political leaders are massing troops on Israel’s borders. They’re almost almost all just shooting off their mouths.

It’s not a good time for enhanced Israeli regional image, that’s certain. I’m not sure how much it really changes things. These people have been steeped in anti-Israeli rhetoric their entire lives.

So what does Israel do? Does it pretty much think of it as business as usual, which it pretty much is? Does it think of it as something new and take drastic action to eliminate it?

I fully support Israel taking out Iran’s nuclear capabilities, if it can. In the absence of the U. S. taking action, ‘someone’ has to. As for taking out regional loudmouths, I’m not convinced that helps matters.

Loudmouths are pretty much forgotten in short order. Martyrs aren’t.
