Report: Israeli Prime Minister Drumming Up Support for Possible Attack on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally support in his cabinet for an attack on Iran, according to Sky News.
Israel’s defense and foreign ministers are said to be among senior Israeli government officials backing a possible strike to disrupt Iran’s nuclear hopes.
Earlier this week, Netanyahu expressed new concerns about Iran’s nuclear program, warning in a speech to parliament that the Iranian regime was continuing its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. Cabinet ministers have recently held a series of discussions on possible pre-emptive military action against Iran, though no decisions are known to have been made, according to the Associated Press.
Adding to regional tensions, Israel on Wednesday successfully test-fired a missile said capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and striking Iran, fanning the public debate over whether a military attack on Tehran’s atomic facilities will occur.
While Israeli leaders have long warned that a military strike was an option, over the weekend a report in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak favor an attack. In addition, Haaretz wrote yesterday that Netanyahu is now lobbying senior members of his Cabinet for an attack, despite the complexity of the operation and the high likelihood it would draw a deadly retaliation from Iran.
Despite the sound of war drums, other options remain on the table as well.
The U.S. Congress approved new and tougher penalties today against Iran, focusing on companies that do business with Tehran as well as its central bank.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved two bills aimed at clamping down on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The committee chairwoman, GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, says Iran’s oil income and business indirectly benefit a government that sponsors terrorism.
For its part. Iran denies that it wants to build nuclear weapons and says its program is for peaceful purposes.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The U.S. might put diplomatic pressure on Israel, or threaten to cut off aid or whatever, but they can’t really “let” Israel do or not do something. Israel is an independent country that can do what it thinks best for its own survival, which is good, because they sure can’t look to ODUMBER for any help–he is busy helping their enemies position themselves to take Israel out!

Depending upon your point of view, we were being funded by China… So, should Iran be mad at China?!? Point being, anyone can make monetary connections between any two countries, considering all monetary connections are tied together globally… Your arguing a moot point…

Stop being willfully obtuse. There is a clear distinction between a country funding terrorist activities (or “freedom fighters” when we do it) and a country buying stocks in companies of another country or buying their debt.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 5:50pmHey Rothbardian_in_the_Cleve – stop talking shh, you dont have a clue.. here are the facts sir…
1) Iranian Muslim terrorist dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad‘s October 2005 call for America’s destruction was ignored by the pro-Muslim media – and you!
2) “Death to America!“ and ”Death to Israel!” were the cries of the Muslim faithful at their Friday prayers in a Teheran mosque (January 27, 2006)
3) “Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you should know that this slogan and this goal are achievable, and certainly can be achieved,” Ahmadinejad proclaimed before the huge crowd in Teheran. The crowd responded with the popular Islamic chant, “Death to America!”

Exactly, Erabin. Great point. The taliban was fighting against a country constantly threatening nuclear war with us when we helped fund their resistance against that very same country.
Iran funds people who’s stated goal is Death to America and Death to Israel. Obviously, we’re just equivocating, right? I mean, one man‘s trash piling up in Zuccotti Park is another man’s treasure? One man‘s freedom fighter can later become that same man’s terrorist?
But despite the decades in between, it amounts to the same thing in your morally relativistic mind, doesn’t it?

I can‘t believe I’m wasting the 1‘s and 0’s, but here goes:
Iran is a dictatorial regime. That means people do not gather en masse on the street without the government’s approval or orchestration. Thousands gather on a regular basis to shout “Death to America” and burn American flags. They’ve hanged several American presidents in effigy.
You think a nuclear bomb is required to start a war? Please, out of all of the many wars in which we’ve engaged since WWII, how many times did we whip out a nuke on a country?
Hmmm…I see your point. Obviously, any country in the world would fear war with America if they didn’t already have their own stockpile, right? Clearly. Yes….clearly.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:58pmIsrael is way too tiny of a country to absorb a first strike with nuclear weapons. They are like a county in a state in this country. You nonbelievers better start getting scared. The Bible has turned out to be soooooo true. In this modern world you can see all the evil alliances coming together against God exactly like the Bible says it would. The modern liberal world sees only gray, no clear right or wrong, but they are wrong on every issue. The Bible sees only in black and white, right and wrong, saved and lost. Better to be on the saved side before you die. Our times are as wicked as the times of Noah when the world was thoroughly wicked. The left mocks God and his people. They won’t for much longer.

It is very clear “What you do to Israel – God will do to you – if you vote for Israel not to exist – then don’t expect God on Judgement Day to allow you the right to exist in Eternity.

Don;t get your burka in a wad, Knight — who said Israel is thinking of using nukes on Iran? They don‘t need nukes to throw a monkeywrench in Iran’s nuclear plans. They’ve done it before–and not with nukes. As for any collaterel damage suffered when Israel DOES take those nukes out, since Iranians by the thousands dance in the streets every time they hear of American deaths at the hands of Jihadists — and since they “celebrated” the anniversary of the 1979 taking of American hostages just recently by dancing in the streets about THAT, I don’t see why Americans need to waste a lot of tears on any “freedom-loving” Jihadist cockroaches who might be in the neighborhood when Israel comes to call.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:46pmI don’t see that they have any choice, either. Especially now that Iran is getting all those rockets in the fallout from the collapse of Ghaddafi’s regime in Libya. Liberating those weapons for use against Israel was probably one of the “fringe benefits” Odumber hoped for when he rushed over there and got involved in the Libyan revolt helped to spawn by praising and supporting “Arab Spring” uprisings. I’m sure his masters in the Muslim Brotherhood must be proud.
But Israel can hardly just sit idly by and wait until Iran is ready to drop a nuke on them. The UN and other hypocrites in the world–including the craven govt. of the U.S.–loudly condemned Israel in the past for making pre-emptive strikes against Iran’s nuke developing activities, even while those same hypocrites breathed a sigh of relief that something was done to keep nukes out of the hands of that Iranian NUTCASE for a little while later. Too bad poor little outnumbered Israel is the only country with the stones to do anything to prevent that nutcase from starting WWIII.

They didn’t want war -when the libyans wanted to be liberated. get it?We havn’t done a thing about mass murder taking place in syria-because the syrian regime has not been bad for israel. That’s all that matters to the fox media and their gulls.Doesn’t matter how many people that regime tortures or kills.

Iran may be backwards and have terrible policies, but they are not insane. They are well aware of what would happen if they would drop a nuke on Israel: The end of Iran. There are crazier people with nuclear weapons in the world and even they wouldn’t use them.”
And you are either very naive or . . . well, let’s just be kind and call you naive. Excuse me, but the Iranians ARE crazy, and their nutball president is the craziest of them all! They are SOOOO consumed with their hatred for Israel and their Jihad bloodlust that they damned well WOULD use a nuke, if they thought they had a chance to destroy Israel by doing so. I would go so far to say if they knew they’d all die from the fallout, they would STILL do it, if by doing so they thought they could succeed in taking Israel out. People who are willing to strap bombs to their own children to kill an Israeli or two are not troubled with concerns about self-preservation like more rational folks.

Here’s a flash for you: When the Iranians and all the rest of those Jihadist nutcases come for the infidels in the U.S. (after they have finished destroying Israel), they will not spare your kids just because you defended them.
Besdies, I don’t recall suggesting “we” do anything, other than maybe for once not joining the Jihad chorus condemning Israel (and thus emboldening the Jihadists to do worse than condemn) when ISRAEL does something about it. Israel has a right to survive, and they have a right to defend their own country against the Jihad nutcases that surround them, which Iran is bankrolling in a big way, including sending recently-liberated Iranian rockets to be used for killing Israelis. So you keep your precious babies clutched to your little liberal bosom, as nobody asked you to do otherwise. But don’t you think Israeli children have a right to live, too?

Report Post »Briggston
Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:02pmI think we need to look at history for this one. The reason the 6 days war of 67 was such a success and victory for the Israelis was a preemptive strike on the Arab forces. The Israelis having learned through intelligence of the imminent attack as the Egyptian and Jordanian armies massed on their borders to strike and uncovering genocidal combat military tactics the Arabs had orders to employ on the Israeli people.All this stemming from the Arabs violation of the 1950s treaty of closing the Suez Canal which was in that agreement to be regarded as an act of war. Prompted what our military would call a defensive initial strike as a means to take out enemy units before they could be used against them. This allowed the Israeli Air force to catch the entire Arab Airforce on the ground and destroy it with far less loss of life on both sides and eliminating the major backbone of their attackers strength. This also in the long run limited and spared lives the war would cost on both sides. As any student of military tactics would say-sometimes the best defense is a good offense. with the current build up of enemies around them I am surprised the Israelis haven’t built up their defenses more. I would.

How very true! All you have to do is recall the televised “conversation” between Netanyahu and Obama–Obama looked and acted like a petulant child, while Netanyahu looked and acted like a statesman–which he is. I have ZERO faith in ODUMBER to handle a problem of this magnitude, since all he has done is paint us AND Israel into a corner with his hapless foreign policy. In fact, I believe the main reason he is suddenly so eager to help Israel’s enemies is he is doing it in a fit of pique because he was humiliated by Netanyahu. It isn‘t Netanyahu’s fault that the “boy king” decided to try to “one-up“ the Israeli Prime Minister by announcing that ”he” (ODumber) had decided they (Israel) should withdraw to pre-‘67 borders before the prime mninister’s plain had even landed.
Report Post »I guess ODUMBER was either too stupid to know that would be suicidal for Israel, either that, or he was attempting to paint THEM into a corner before the talks even began.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:30pmThey will have to attack or be killed. It is like two guys sitting at a table. One already has a pistol in his holster. One is assembling the pieces of one on the table and has already told the other one, as soon as I finish putting this pistol together I am going to blow your head off. What would you do.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:49pmThe United States is the biggest terrorist in the world, Mr. True American. You’re buying the lie. Just like they want you to. Guess you‘re glad they’ve got cameras AND microphones on these new street lights they’re putting up. Gotta keep an eye out for all those bad “terrorists.” Hahahahahaha.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:44pmWell, I have 12…so first I have to decide.
Being decisive and knowing where you stand on issues and who‘s back you have in times of trouble isn’t being “controlled.”
If you want to straddle the fence and think things over…fine…but know this, nobody with an IQ greater than that of an unsalted potato chip, sees it as anything else but a cowardly soul and a lack of character.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 9:03amHa! I’ll show you cowardly.
I know this guy named Creestof who talks all tough behind his keyboard and vows to go fight with the IDF but never will. He wants to take his rifle and fight tyranny and injustice and evil. But, his country is being stolen out from under him. His constitutional rights are being taken. He is being turned into a serf in his own country. His POTUS/VPOTUS refer to him as a terrorist and associate with elements who would destroy every ounce of the principles of our country. And for THOSE things he does nothing. He wouldn’t dare point a rifle at people who would enslave his posterity and who strip his God given rights. No, not at all. When confronted he’ll just say “Well, when it REALLY gets bad I’ll do something.” BUT, some whack job in a foreign country makes some speech and they round up a few thousand people to hear it calling for hatred of the US and somebody else drums up some false flag opportunity to start slinging bullets between two people he doesn‘t know at some place he’s never been….well THAT will make him pick up his rifle. Your right…unsalted potato chips.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:03pmI think the whole world has heard enough of the muslim community call for the destruction of Israel. Allthewhile, I sit here and watch my traditional American culture and values pushed aside all in the name of tollerance, progressiveness and diversity. Barack feels the same about America as the Iranians do about Israel. He hates everything about Colonialism.

As a reasonable person should? Forcing people out of their own land for Lebensraum got a bad aftertaste a few decades ago.

I think the world has heard enough of the KKK community call for the destruction of all black people.
We should kill all white people because the KKK obviously represents their general opinion. If it wouldn’t, don‘t you think they’d speak out against the KKK more?

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:36pmSeriously? Did you read the Old Testament? If one thing doesn’t strike you from that it ought to be that the Jews continuously screwed up. I mean really? Did you forget the 40 years in the desert part? So now because God has a covenant with them you deem every action they take as God’s will? I’ll tell you, I have a covenant with God too. Jesus died for me and I’m saved. Guess what, I still do stupid things from time to time. Good grief, people need to use their brains.
