Yes, but Joel, that would only contribute to the cycle of violence that besets this war-torn area. The cylce of violence, as you know, is a natural phenomenon and occurs unrelated to any action by, say, Arabs.

Israel should blanket Gaza with artillery fire until the A-rabs cry ‘Uncle Ahmed’. That is certainly what the Soviets would have done. Amir Peretz should be arrested along with his moronic former boss for stupidity and de facto treason.

Iran will wait till they have nukes. There’s no question about that.

The only question is will the United States and the UN ALLOW Iran to get nukes?

I can’t believe we’ve allowed them to get this far, it’s my hope that before Bush leaves office he’ll use his last few weeks to “remove” the Iranians ability to make nuclear material.

Of course this will all be a moot point, a three front war will be no problem for Israel.

I just don’t get the world anymore. A country says, -BLATANTLY- that they want nukes, and they will USE them. Yet we do nothing….

I am reminded of the story of an official of the British Foreign Office who always pooh-poohed rumors of wars. He always thought the apocalyptic war warnings were false, and always predicted they were wrong. When he retired he pointed this out and complacently said that he had been proved wrong only twice in his career, in 1914 and 1939.

War will come on Iran’s timetable, and Meryl overestimated Iran’s desire for a war right now. It will come, and Israel will face enemies on at least three fronts: Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, unless one or more of these enemies is defeated and eliminated from the equation first. And if Israel looks weak and vulnerable, more enemies will join in, possibly including Egypt and Jordan, with renewed eagerness for the kill.

Perhaps Iran will not start the war until they have nukes. In the meantime there will be harassing fire constantly hitting Israel, and constant terrorist attacks, to demoralize and wear down the Israelis.

“I await the coming spring with extreme trepidation. Armies move in the spring.” — Meryl Yourish, 12/06/06

“Coupled with the news that Iran is revving up its activities in Europe, this is going to be a very, very hot summer.” — Meryl Yourish, 5/30/07

People are always making apocalyptic predictions concerning Israel. They never come true.

(By the way, I applaud Barak’s more aggressive actions in the Gaza strip, though at present I’d oppose a full-scale invasion.)

I still see images of that fool Peretz looking through the safety capped binoculars, and nodding his head!
Next thing Israel needs to do is hold new elections and get rid of Olmert who is in way over his head.

A concentration of rockets and ordnance in Gaza would be relatively easy to target with Israel’s own short range rockets and artillery. The worrisome fronts will be the Lebanon/Syria front and the the long range missile front with Iran.
