Isreal's Doomsday Machines

[Tom Sweetnam]

There’s a dark irony in a photo of four Israeli defense officials, two of them Israeli Navy officers, standing on the deck of a submarine in Kiel, Germany. It’s a Dolphin-class diesel submarine, the most sophisticated of its type in the world. It’s christened the ‘INF Rahav’, and it represents the most expensive defence platform in Israel’s history: $2 billion.

The Rahav is the fifth German-built Dolphin-class submarine delivered to Israel. There will be a sixth. All are equipped with special aft launch tubes that accommodate Israel’s long range “Popeye” nuclear cruise missile. The Dolphin-class fleet gives Israel the capability to strike any target in the world, though Iran was their major motivation in acquiring the boats...with Pakistan a secondary consideration. The subs are capable of lurking for extended periods underwater and just offshore of belligerents like Iran.

The whole project was supposed to be top secret until an LA Times investigative reporter broke the story after delivery of the second sub to Israel. It violated nuclear non-proliferation treaties Israel had signed onto. National survival meant more to Israel than keeping Western lefties feeling cosy in their beds at night. For Germany, it was something they had to do. It was a matter of national conscience. Oh, and keep this under your hats will you? The Dolphin's nuclear weapon delivery capability is still supposed to be a secret.

Israel never signed the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Iran did sign the treaty.

And recently the psycho's ruling Israel were threatening to attack Iran for not complying with the treaty.

Go figure........

Yes, I think the most fascinating book out there on all this, is 'Dark Sun' by historian Richard Rhodes. He won a Pulitzer Prize for the prequil, 'The Making of the Atomic Bomb', that was also a National Book Award winner. Both books were NYT bestsellers. Dark Sun is about the development of the hydrogen bomb and the profound watershed it represented in human history. Most Americans don't want to think about the fact that our nation can still be turned into a glass parking lot, and that 100 million people could die in less time than it takes our idiot-in-chief to finish a round of golf.

When you are surrounded by Muslim manics who have repeatedly called for Israels destruction, it's important to have weapons like this as a deterrence. There's no telling what the radical Islamic scum in the ME is capable of.

Israel is governed not ruled, it is a democracy. Iran is ruled by the Mullahs.
