Trash talking: Israel is upping the threat level for Iran/Hezbollah, but let’s face it: The IDF was going to go into Lebanon next time they attack Israel no matter who is ordering them to do so. The warnings have been delivered: Since Hezbollah is part of the government and armed forces of Lebanon now, the gloves are off if Hezbollah attacks Israel.
The real reason Iran won’t nuke Israel: It’s the subs, stupid. Israel has second-strike capability. Even the Mad Mullahs can’t be that stupid. Guy Bechor details how strong the Israeli Navy has become.
The awesome stupidity of the Iranian media: Not only did they Photoshop their missile tests, but they didn’t notice that Jar Jar Binks was also a part of the test. Yes, believe everything you read in PressTV, because it’s true.
The lie of peace with Israel: Thousands of Jordanians want out of the peace treaty. Egyptians have already made plain their feelings towards the Jewish state. Lebanon is still technically at war. Saudi Arabia and Iran fund Israel’s enemies. (Saudi Arabia funds the Salafist movements worldwide, that are gaining power everywhere the dictators fall.) The Muslim Brotherhood is ascendant in the Syrian rebellion. And the only people in Iraq who like Israel are the Kurds. But really, if only Israel would make peace with the Palestinians, and give them a state, all of this would stop and everyone would sit down in a circle, hold hands, and sing Kumbaya.
Not to nitpick too much, but there’s one former Iraqi politician (not a Kurd) whose support for Israel should not be forgotten. . He lost two sons for his support of Israel.
“Even the Mad Mullahs can’t be that stupid.”
I am not entirely certain of that.
