Obama’s actions destabilizing the Middle East, surrounding Israel with hostile enemies who are openly threatening to destroy it, and loosing massive quantities of modern weapons to terrorists have fundamentally changed the reality on the ground in the Middle East.
Israel no longer has the luxury of “restraint” against provocations that it's opponent's have come to expect and rely on in a futile effort to placate some nebulous “World Opinion”.
Their problem now is one of basic survival against an opponent who vastly outnumbers them and who is in the process of obtaining nuclear weapons with the specific, publicly stated goal to destroy them.
Israel has been treating it's opponents as a political problem and not as a military problem for the last 20 years in the hopes of achieving a political solution in the region.
It's now obvious that Israel has been dealt with in bad faith and no political solution is possible, nor was one ever seriously attempted by the other side.
All of the Peace Treaties, Peace Initiatives, Special Envoys and Summit Meetings were nothing more than charade between Israelis desperate for peace and security, Arab Governments who were never actually serious about peace and who were instead were using the process to wage a successful world wide war of marginalization and isolation against Isreal, and third parties whose primary interests were to keep the “Peace Process” alive and kick the can down the road despite the obvious fact that the whole system was based solely on “Process” and never on “Peace”.
Israel now has a simple choice-
The first option is to do nothing and wait for it's enemies to obtain nuclear weapons and prepare for the inevitable war of annihilation against Israel that they are boasting about launching against Israel.
The second option is a pre emptive strike at the time and place of it's choosing against it's opponents that eliminates the threat presented by the first option.
The big problem with this is any strike effective enough to accomplish it's goals is going to have serious repercussions in “world opinion” and foreign relations fall out.
Looking at the situation from the perspective of the Israeli leadership based on the reality imposed by recent developments leads one to some rather disturbing conclusions as to what the appropriate course of action could and should be in the absence of America’s support to eliminate the Iranian Nuclear threat and come to Israel's aid in the event of a full scale attack on the country by it's neighbors .
So in my opinion, all the dithering by the UN and Obama on the nuclear issue with the Jihadi is the SOLE blame for the inevitable outcome.
I stand with Israel, NOT with Obama. Israel has bent over backwards trying to make peace with Rabid Jihadi and has clearly demonstrated that it does not work. Unfortunately our Cowardly Congress is too dense to get a clue. If the United States Congress had a set, we could have saved the world from its first full scale nuclear war. If you do not spank kids when they are unruly, reality will do it for you. The Death Cult of Islam will start a war it cannot fight with Israel. Israel is too small to adsorb a first strike, ergo, Israel must strike first or die.
