Nuclear specialists say Iran is very close to getting its nuclear weapons.
With that the Middle East would be transformed into a tinder box.
At best Iran could dictate its fanatic militant agenda to the region.
NOT WHAT YOU THINK HE MAY DO!.
Turkey, Saudia and Egypt will have to go nuclear too. They started already.
With the instability of the Arab world, with terrorists gaining more power this tinder box can explode.
Iran could give nuclear weapons to terrorists to use at any place they like globally. Put one in a container ship, and it can go to any harbor.
As a minimum each of us who cares about Israel's survival must help AIPAC, one of the few organizations who understand this crucial danger. Don't sit by without taking part, join AIPAC!
J St does not grasp this existential danger to Israel survival.
Therefore J St is a dangerous organization, and we must fight to diminish its power.
Look at this short 12 minutes video to grasp it better.
Friend, It is very simple and does not require deep analysis.
This administration is unaware of the real Middle East. They ignore the mentality of Arabs TRIBALISM- the murderous tendencies they have towards any one who is not in their tribe, or inner group.
Syria and Iraq should have opened any logical person eyes to the terrorist mentality of Muslim extremists who are supported by a significant part of the civilian population.
Hamas would have not allowed rockets/missile into Israel without strong local support.
Egypt new government (thank God for Assisi) knows that to wipe out the Muslim Brotherhood they need also to destroy Hamas. That is one of the reason Hamas, with no friends remaining, is eager to get power via the PLO, despite their deep hatred of one another.
Kerry demonstrated multiple times his hatred towards Israel. "Israel apartheid state?" Is he ignorant or make "mistakes" on purpose?
I believe that it is the same for Obama. Both have immense egos and they failed at almost all they have done. Even progressives now admit their utter failure in most if not all foreign affairs.
Obama/Kerry fail on almost every foreign adventure the US made for years. Why? Because they are unable to accept reality they do not like.
They have had very little international experience and their may be even admirable idealism leads them to the wrong path. They think as Americans while the Muslim world is diametrically oppose to our way of seeing the world.
Do not pay too much attention to what different people say that Israel is to blame. Much of it is false and opinionated. And in this case, to direct the blame to Israel.
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, NOTE THE LONG TERM ANTI-SEMITISM UNDERLINING THE BELIEF, THINKING OF MUCH OF THE WEST, INCLUDING THIS US ADMINISTRATION.
Is Israeli blood different from European blood?
Is Palestinian blood different from Syrian blood?
So why are we ignoring the worst current mass massacres in the world of innocent people in Syria? Some 160,000 civilians have been murdered in the civil war in Syria.
Yet the liberal media and many liberals are only focusing on minor agonies of Palestinians in the West Bank (W.B.), while ignoring the lessons of Gaza. Those W. B. Palestinians have the best safety in the Arab world, because the Israeli military is stopping them from murdering one another. Their tribalism is similar to the ones in Syria, Libya and Iraq.
The Palestinians in W.B. want their own country? OK, first let them show that they are capable of running a country. All evidence to the contrary: They excel in fostering hate and terrorism. We must fully absorb the lessons of the terrorist-state of Gaza, and understand that the West Bank can be a much larger terrorist haven. Note that the West Bank is 16 times larger, with a border 6 times longer than Gaza. And it sits above the narrow neck of central Israel, just 8 miles wide.
The Arabs have demonstrated immense duplicity. What is crucial is to plan for the enemy potential capabilities if they get their own state, not what we feel they may do. That is: some say, don't worry, the W.B. Palestinians will not be like Hamas in Gaza eager to destroy Israel. On what basis do they make this assumption? On their own wishes, not potential reality.
Again: WHAT IS CRITICAL IS WHAT YOUR ENEMY WOULD BE CAPABLE OF DOING, NOT WHAT YOU THINK HE MAY DO!.
The Palestinians have the highest standard of living in the Arab world (of states without oil), free high quality Israeli medical care. They get free electricity and water because they do not pay their bills to Israel, while receiving billions of dollars from Western countries, the highest per capita donation in the world. The US and EU are the main donors financing Palestinian hate education and terrorism. Terrorists get generous monthly support from US and EU funds while in Israeli prisons. Palestinians have no motivation to stop terrorism, it is a high-income business. Beside one can be a hero in that society to boot. No idealist fully grasp that. Why?
I am angry at those who show so much concern for the plight of the Palestinians but ignore how the Palestinians have murdered and terrorized innocent Israelis for a century.
I am angry at those who can't see how the Palestinians have rejected every Two-States solution since 1936, and unwilling to grasp that the Palestinians want all the land of Israel. Period.
I angry at those who are blind to Gaza/Hamas unending rockets on Israeli civilians and even blame Israel for its limited responses.
I am angry at those who want to dictate Israel's conduct, while ignoring the immense inhumanity in the rest of the Arab world.
I am angry at those who conveniently believe Israel is so strong that it can relax and reduce its security to fit their dreams.
They do not care if Arabs murder Arabs by the ten of thousands, but only if Israel killed a terrorist or inadvertently civilians.
Do they truly care about human suffering and human lives? It does not seem so. They want to smear Israel, again.
One possibility is that their exclusive focus on Israel is based on a singular dislike of Israelis. Also their belief that the Israeli people are incapable of running their own Democratic country. After all, the Israelis did not achieve peace with the Palestinians after all these trials. It must be the Israelis do not truly want peace, and are not giving enough…. Even some ex -Israelis here saying so. It may make it so much easier for them to justify leaving Israel.
This attitude is called: "Identifying with your oppressor" After long enough exposure to false accusations against you, you start believing in them.
Israelis are hurt by the critical attitude and lack of support of some Progressive American Jews and wonder how could they ignore reality for so long?
Three related events came to my attention recently that deserve note.
1. When Middle East Arabs were poled recently about what type of government they wish to have, the great majority, some 80%, said they wanted a government like the Israelis have.
"Why we can not behave like the Israelis? When they face Palestinian rioters, and stone throwers they use rubber bullets and water cannons. They do not shoot live ammunition at the Palestinians. While we are murdering one another.
The arguments were hot and the two moderates did not let the Muslim religious leader off the hook. They were angry at his "justifications" for the use of lethal force on other Arabs.
3. In a recent discussion in the Knesset, some members of the Israeli opposition suggested that the Israeli government offer land swap of heavily populated Israeli Arabs areas for some of the West Bank Israeli communities.
Many Knesset members laughed, why? Because he is one of the most severe, even rabid, critic of the Israeli government and people and often support the Palestinians loudly and clearly.
I wish those quick to criticize Israel saw it from the Arab side.
My lifelong friend Norman D. was a Mentch. Not because his dedication to honesty and kindness, not because he loved Israel and was a MACHAL (foreign volunteer) from Canada during Israel War of Independence. He was much more than all of these. He deeply cared for people, helped others consistently, but was also sensible enough not to be blind to reality.
He was captivated by the Arab culture. And with his easy and natural friendliness, he could talk with almost any person. Although I studied Arabic and was educated to appreciate Arab culture, both in my Israeli society and also in my Lechi Israeli Underground, he went further. He helped deprived Arab youth both in the US and in Israel.
Norman gave me his study of one street in the Old Jerusalem Market where fathers left their stores to the first born son for hundred of years. He could not understand how they left the rest of the family to be so dependent on the kindness or selfishness of the older son. Norman was a Jew to the core, abhorred needless suffering. He told me how frustrated he was that no one rebelled against this harsh culture despite the hundreds of years of suffering. On one hand he admired their long tradition but could not grasp, or agree with their Eastern way of thinking: No change in Tradition period. Men are superior, women servants to men's desires. Harsh Sharia laws are the only rule.
It may take many generations, but we can wait.
Norman was "liberal to his very core," a kind man, a Mentch. He could not accept agonies and inhumanity. He did not want to see the kindness and benevolent core of Judaism and much of the West disappear to satisfy the aims of the harsh Muslim culture.
