“All palis killed or wounded were attacking Israel or its citizens. Palis are worthless murderers.”


The funny thing is that no one in the Arab world wants the murderous filth that is the Palestinian people in their midst, after the havoc they wreaked in Jordan and Lebanon, and the PLO’s vocal support for Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait. It says something about the Assads that they have hosted and sponsored a veritable smorgasbord of Palestinian terrorist movements for decades.

obviously - it’s part of the Likud‘s drive to war.

Likud‘s been itching for a big war for at least one year

The headline should read, “Iran Poised to Commit National Suicide”.

I believe Iran will be prevented from doing this for a few decades although their mouth is watering to strike Israel now.

I believe this strike by the combined forces of Russia, Turkey, and Iran among other nations, described in Ezekiel 38 & 39, will actually coincide with the launch of the seven-year tribulation. God will miraculously turn back these nations (like he did in the six-day war only greater).

5/6’s of the attacking nations will be destroyed (Eze. 39:2), their weapons burned for the next seven years (v. 9) and their bodies buried for the next seven months (v. 12). This miracle will finally turn Israel to Jesus, their true Messiah (Ezekiel 39:22; Revelation 7:1-8).

[ 3.5 hour emergency Israeli cabinet meeting today. ]

One day, the world is going to catch up to that which was prophesied long, long ago in the Holy Scriptures.

In this matter, Ezekiel chapter 38.

Israel needs to quit crying wolf.

They have been saying this for 20 years now and still no barrage of missile attack from Iran.

If Iran does attack Israel, then we will strike Iran.

It makes absolutely no strategic sense for Iran to launch missiles against Israel unless there was a major attack on Iran from Israel. There is little doubt that Iran has positioned short range mobile stealthy missiles in Syria. The Iranians supplied numerous missiles to Hamas which they launched with little effect during the Gaza war. Iran was able to study Israel’s Iron Dome defense system when it was deployed. The presence of short range stealthy missiles in Syria was meant to dissuade Israel from attacking their nuclear facilities. No doubt the Israelis would stop most of Iran’s best missiles launched from Syria but not all. Yet even if Iran managed to severely damage some Israeli cities and inflict large numbers of civilian casualties, it would be a strategic disaster for Iran. The Israeli retaliation would be devastating and humiliating for Iran. The nuclear facilities would be destroyed, the Iranian air force and Revolutionary guards would be targeted and suffer greatly. The mullah regime might actually fall. Very much doubt Iran will launch an attack.

I know... It’s Debka... but:

All the signs, including intelligence input, indicate that Iranian and Hizballah units have completed their preparations for a missile attack and are standing ready in their positions. Israel estimates that Iran will go for military targets mainly in northern Israel, although civilian locations may also be threatened. Its air force and the entire range of air defense weaponry is on the highest alert.

Iran’s leaders are clearly determined to punish Israel for three attacks on Iranian Revolutionary Guards targets in Syria on February 10, and on April 9 and 29, in one of which, at Syria’s T-4 air base, seven Iranian servicemen were killed. DEBKAfile’s military sources note that no Israeli officials or military chiefs have given out any details on how the IDF will respond to an Iranian or Hizballah attack.

However, there can be no doubt that the presumed missile offensive can be cut short only by destroying the launchers deep inside Syria and possibly in Lebanon too. This sort of operation may spread over several days with no certainty about how it may develop. The Israeli security cabinet was convened Sunday for briefings on the forecast and preparations.

Iran has been striking Israel for years through Lebanon and Syria.

I would suggest that whoever wrote this, take a deep breath.

Can we wait until The is something to report rather than make stuff up?

I would also point out that Israel has killed 72 and wounded 1750 Palestinians this year in Gaza. Seems a bit extreme.

Seems the "palestinians" would figure out they need to stop acting like animals worthy of such actions. What are you, a hamas sympathizer?

If that’s the case, then Israel needs to strike back.

“Did Kerry tell them to do this ? D’oh”

Is this the result of Kerry sticking his nose into the Iran deal again?

Debka: May 6th..........

Putin to parade Russian military might before Netanyahu ahead of potential Israeli-Iranian clash

Putin appears to calculate that Netanyahu will be so impressed by Russia’s awesome military prowess when it unfolds before him that he will go home and advise Lieberman to talk less.

This Kremlin tactic is not new. Often Russian leaders invite guests of honor to view a stunning Russian display of strength before taking them aside for a talking-to about what is expected of them. In the case of Netanyahu, Putin will sit him down in his Kremlin office to discuss the fate of the nuclear deal with Iran and the situation in Syria. Putin has timed his invitation with careful aforethought. It takes place three days before the May 12 deadline for President Donald Trump to re-certify, or back out of, the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and five days before the May 14 dedication of the newly-relocated US embassy in Jerusalem. Trump may decide to attend this event.

The Russian president has prepared six messages for conveying directly to Netanyahu on Wednesday:

Moscow has concluded that a military clash between Israel and Iran is inevitable.

Stop muscle-flexing against Russian forces in Syria, he will warn. If you mess with us, it will boomerang against you.
Consider this: If Donald Trump takes the United States out of the nuclear deal with Iran, which Netanyahu is strongly urging him to do, then no one is left in the Middle East capable of engaging Tehran for passing messages between Jerusalem and Tehran.

This sort of conduit is vital, especially in the event of the outbreak of Israeli-Iranian hostilities in Syria, as widely predicted.

It is even more important to have a party available with access to both sides to carry forward discussions for a cessation of hostilities between the belligerents.

Putin asked Netanyahu for an unambiguous promise that, if warfare erupts with Iran, Israel forces will not harm a single Russian soldier or weapons system.

How many are they allowed to kill and wound in order to protect themselves?

If they killed and wounded 0, would Hamas give up its goal of genocide against them?

Debkafile reports:

“Israel’s three-week long high military alert along its northern borders with Syria and Lebanon peaked Sunday night, May 6, as polling stations closed in Lebanon’s first election in nine years. Israeli political and military strategists calculate that, now the election is over, Iran will make good on its vow of vengeance at any time between now and the May 14 inauguration of the US embassy in Jerusalem.

“The Palestinian Naqba Day on May 15 is another date to watch. All the signs, including intelligence input, indicate that Iranian and Hizballah units have completed their preparations for a missile attack and are standing ready in their positions. Israel estimates that Iran will go for military targets mainly in northern Israel, although civilian locations may also be threatened. Its air force and the entire range of air defense weaponry is on the highest alert.

“Iran’s leaders are clearly determined to punish Israel for three attacks on Iranian Revolutionary Guards targets in Syria on February 10, and on April 9 and 29, in one of which, at Syria’s T-4 air base, seven Iranian servicemen were killed. DEBKAfile’s military sources note that no Israeli officials or military chiefs have given out any details on how the IDF will respond to an Iranian or Hizballah attack.
