Is Netanyahu Holding Elections Early So He Can Attack Iran?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to announce this Sunday that he will hold elections in Israel a year early, on September 4 of this year. This move has prompted at least one of Israel’s major commentators to speculate that Netanyahu might have more than just a parliamentary majority in his sights.

Ammon Abramovich, one of the best-known Israeli commentators on the popular Channel 2 news station, suggested that Netanyahu may, in fact, be calling the election early so that he can come back to power with a decisive governing majority while President Obama is still hamstrung by elections here in the United States, and thus powerless to stop him from attacking Iran. The Times of Israel explains the reasoning behind this alarming prediction:

 Abramovich said that the dramatic decision to bring the elections forward relates to Iran. After the September elections, which all polls show Netanyahu winning easily, he will head a transition government for several weeks while a new coalition is formed. During that period, Netanyahu “will not be beholden to the voters,” and will be free to take decisions on Iran that many Israelis might not support, Abramovich said.

Furthermore, he will still have his trusted Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, at his side. Barak is seen as unlikely to fare well in the elections, and may not even retain his Knesset seat, but would retain the defense portfolio until a new coalition is formed.

And finally, said Abramovich, the September-October period would see Obama, who has publicly urged more patience in allowing diplomacy and sanctions to have their impact on Iran, in the final stages of the presidential election campaign, with a consequent reduced capacity to try to pressure Israel into holding off military intervention.

Obama, “on the eve of elections, won’t dare criticize Israel,” said Abramovich. From Netanyahu’s point of view, “the conditions would be fantastic.”

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has given some credence to this theory with this ominous quote regarding Iran: “The moment of truth is approaching.”

That’s not to say that Israel has no concerns about war with Iran – the country is small enough that the fallout from just one nuclear bomb being dropped would do serious, possibly fatal damage, which has led some Israeli officials to label the country a “one bomb state.” Clearly, if Netanyahu is planning to attack Iran, this will factor into his calculations, and a decision to attack would suggest that he expects far more than one bomb to be involved if he doesn’t act. We’ll be keeping an eye on this story.

      Are you that ignorant to not understand Iran has Attacked Israel through Hamas and Hezbola, they shoot rockets into Israel and they are arming Syria’s Govt. right now? Oh and the other thing how many times has “hitler amadenajad” threatened Israel with Annialation and telling them that they were going to push Israel into the Med? What Glue have you been Sniffing? Hey, maybe their refinning is just for medical Isotopes? WWIII‘s coming people and Russia along with Iran and other muslim nations are getting ready to make War with Israel and if you’ve noticed the headlines; have you noticed Russia threatening attacks on the US and Israel? Let me see, if Hitler would have had Nuclear weapons, do you think he would of used them? I’d bet my life on it!… Same thing with Iran!… If you don‘t think they’d use them on the US and Israel your Loonier than Ron Paul!… Ron Paul seems to think if you stick your head in the sand, nothing will hurt you and things will get better. You might as well, Kiss your A_s goodby!… Same thing with Islam, do you think that Islams just going to leave the Jews and Christians alone? Look at Sudan, Nigeria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Europe, the US, Canada, its No different than people thinking Hitler, if left alone wouldn’t do anything. If the Coalition didn’t join together, we’d be speaking German right now! Its happening with muslims and Iran right now! This next WW is Good VS Evil!…. I don’t like WAR, its here,

      God is not going to reward you for backing Israel if what they do is wrong.
      Hell, even God punished Israel when they were wrong.

      Try to move past your 3rd grade logic and using Israel as some secret key to your salvation or a tool to bring back Christ.

      Contrary to the headline, what Netanyahu is doing is setting up a referendum on his leadership and presidency.
      – If Israel agrees with him he will be elected and continue his policies.
      – If they do not agree with him, he will lose power and will not continue in his policies.

      This is not only a smart move by Netanyahu, it is a moral move.

      Just Angry – you maybe right – if you leave Israel alone – turn you back on them – God will probably leave you alone and turn his back on you – that leaves the only one left in the after life to claim you – Satan. If you think your angry now – spend a 100 years with Satan and then realize that is just one moment in your eternity.

      Angry, God doesn’t say that we must Dine with them or socialize – he does ask us to pray for the peace of Israel – not because he needs our help – He wants to know our Heart and to warn us of what is to come.

      If you truly understood how many prophecies have already come true from the word of God concerning Israel – the lease of which is that Israel became a Nation again in 1947. The sheer fact that 100′s of language barriers had to be broken to make this happen.

      Jesus – when asked buy his disciples – when will you return – we all know that no man shall no when Jesus returns – but Jesus went on and talked about the Fig Tree becoming new again – the Fig tree is the National Plant of Israel – then Jesus said, “Not one Generation shall pass before he returns. How many years is a generation in God eyes. Don’t know – I just know it is close to the time and we are that Generation!

      Mr. J Angry – I am glad to have had this conversation with you – I agree that we may have to allow Israel to defend themselves because of the Consequences – God did not say we have to fight their fight – he did instruct us to pray for the Peace of Israel – It was right after that, God said that in the end times the whole world would turn their back on Israel – I never thought that I would ever see that especially from America – I expect it from people like Ron Paul – but not from a sitting President.

      When Obama said that Israel should go back to 1967 Borders – that was like saying that Israel should march themselves back into the gas chambers. What Obama did that day, I feel based on the Word of God, will effect America the rest of our short remaining life.

      Israel’s Borders are surrounded with extremest that want to come in and destroy the Jews – It is a good thing our Borders are safe – maybe God was just kidding about the do to you thing!

      God spoke through Prophets that ended up writing the Bible and it has stood the test of time – as a street fighter for the Lord – I go where most would not go – If you want to see the God in action – go where God is needed most. You’ll turn into a believer quick!

      Everything I see and hear today – I look to see if God’s hand is in it – and It usually it is – Israel is the measuring stick that indicates the return of Christ – we will soon see the Vail of Blindness removed from the Jews and they will except Christ as the son

      Just Angry – I have seen Netanyahu speak twice in 18 years. This man is anointed by God – I thought he was out of the picture for a while and now he is back in – front and center.

      I too had doubts about the Bible growing up and 18years ago God gave me a hunger for the Word of God that no Church in the World could quench. I had to study and read it for my self – then came several men of God, into my life, and they were not your normal go along to get along Bible teachers – if fact we never once talked about the Good Samaritan.

      There are at least 8 things that the Bible said would happen before Christ would return – Pastors 20 years ago could not comprehend some of them – today our youth know how to use some of these these things like the I pad and You Tube!

      What I am saying is the stage is set for Christ return and he’s not coming back in a beat up old VW Bus with a peace sign painted on the back – he is coming back in a blaze of Glory riding a white horse and waving a Mighty Sword.

      The “Call to Action” is the very moment Israel is attacked. Obama, Ron Paul, Romney or Rev Write cant save any of us – only Jesus can – if you vote – promote – support any man that turns his back on Israel you too will be cast into the lake of fire by God almighty.

      Making this call is a simple one – the facts are written – it’s not like Noah that built an ark 300 mile from the nearest body of water – convincing people that the time is near should be an easy one!

      Man, I get where you‘re coming from and it’s fine so long as you let me be meek and inherit the earth. I don’t want to go play end of the world. I’ve already seen war, and haven’t found anything godly about it. Like I said, when politicians pick a side, take money from people and give it another country, or when they send our boys off to die for words contained in your religious text, it’s a violation of the establishment clause. Israeli leadership is made up of men. They are susceptible to the same evils as all others are. Since I don’t know them personally, I‘m unable to say if they’ve been corrupted by evil or not. I‘m not willing to rely on a few passages of an ancient text to unconditionally believe they’re good or bad. I see lumping a group of people together and loving them just as dangerous as hating them. Most logical course of action I see is to leave them alone and let them do what they think is right, without interference. And for the record, you really should look up what RP says about Israel instead of listening to others. He’d never call for Israel to return to the 67 borders. He wouldn’t tell them to do anything. He’d respect their sovereignty. He uses the golden rule… he’d treat Israel how he would want them to treat us, and that’s not anti-Israel.

      After he’s finished opening a huge can can of whoop-ass on those turban-headed fellas, maybe BiBi will stand for election in America and clean-up the big mess that the Ayatollah Obama created?

      Citizenship requirement? Hell, we‘ve already elected one President who didn’t meet the eligibility requirements!

      I’d vote for BiBi to run this country any day!

      John Paul….Netan might as well be our President. The Israel lobby pretty much owns our congress and even the President when it comes right down to it…Yep.I said it. Cousin Barry is in Israel’s hip pocket…that’s why he will get re-elected.

      Nah man, I’m not really in favor of a boycott. They haven’t done anything to piss me off. I just don‘t want to get in the middle of something I really don’t know the truth about. They’re a sovereign nation. They can do what they think is in their best interest. While I personally don‘t think it’s a good idea for any country to launch a preemptive strike… I don‘t really know what’s going on.

      @Majasdad
      NOT THEIR CALL? It’s their country not yours so you have no say in the matter. More proof of your elitist mentality that says people like you should be telling everyone else what to do. You don‘t even live in the US so maybe it’s you who has no say in the matter. Worry about your own country and don’t try bossing the rest of around.

      What do you think bombing the hell out of Iran will accomplish? I imagine a preemptive attack will only strengthen their resolve, unite people who would otherwise be focused on fighting one another, and probably spread to something much larger than Israel v. Iran.

      It was more than that ratio when they said give us Barabus over setting Jesus free. The Jews are representative of all of us and how we think. We have been asking for the worst things and getting them from time to time. We got BHO because of White Guilt, Black Racism and Jewish messiah/secular state worship. BHO is no ordinary man, he tames the masses everywhere he goes, they swoon over him and can’t see he is no messiah but only a mirage of hope and change. He will lead us to ruin.

    obama has done his best to set Israel up for mass slaughter and obliteration by his muslim brothers, obama leaked all the Israeli secrets he could to Iran, obama leaked the location of the Israeli staging area to Iran, but, Thank God, Bibi can obviously sees through the sly good little taciyya/lying muslim that obama is, so Bibi is taking all the steps he can to PROTECT & DEFEND Israel at all costs.
