Israel Intel Chief: Deal with Iran Better Than Talks Failing

[Donald H]

I am far from an expert on Israel so I can only comment from my point of view. It seems to me that the people of Israel are perfectly happy with the status quo. Leave them alone and they will do the same.

Now some of the leadership they have had (pretty easy to understand who I am speaking about) often see's things differently.

I see the fact that both could destroy each other as a good thing.

One fact that many are missing is that there is a Zionist faction that is strong enough in government to make trouble.
There's little doubt that Israel needs more land and what's left of Palestinian declared lands isn't enough. Syria is up for grabs.
The Jewish faction in Israel has no choice but to support the Zionists.

This then becomes the major deciding factor on Iran and it's influence in preventing Israeli expansion. Obviously not the nuclear threat!

It's hardly any different from N.K., who has it's defensive nuclear arsenal and will never attack first.

Yes, I agree that that being able to destroy each other is a good thing. As is N.K. ability to destroy S.K. and vice versa.

If they wish to expand IMO that is on them. Any retaliation they have asked for then.

The US hasn't intervened in a single Israeli conflict. Not a single US soldier's life has ever been lost on Israeli soil. For a large part of Israel's history, the US had a total arms embargo against Israel, not a single bullet could be sold to Israel. It wasn't until Israel proved it could defend itself in 1967 that we agreed to sell arms to Israel.

So, no ... Israel will do what is best to defend Israel and won't give a fetid dingo's kidney what the current denizen of The White House thinks about it.

It seems that support for Israel's aggression has slipped in America to some extent. I wonder if it's significant, or is it just fringe emotions?

This thread has at least brought out that kind of reaction and anti-zionist sentiments. But is it significant?

Oh, I was proud we did it in 72. But in 72, Israel didn't have "territorial aspirations." And American fundy xians didn't support them.

Never with boots on the ground.
