Iran Offers Navy Escort to Next Flotilla!

If you want to find out just how far Israel will go to protect herself just let Iran escort the next convoy to Gaza. An aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, offered that very thing today. Yes while we have been negotiating on sanctions against Iran, they are becoming so bold has to do more than ship weapons to the Palestinians. Now they want to help deliver them. Obama promised us 1 ½ years ago that he would bring swift action on the sanctions. Like so much of what he says that has turned out to be so much election rhetoric. In the meantime, Israel is in the crosshairs of the Islamic world and my impression is that this is not a stable condition for the region.

Israel has only one choice. They must defend themselves. If they lose one war they lose everything. We are not talking about a people with options and if you want to find out once and for all if Israel has the bomb just keep watching Obama-Imam. It is true that the “International Community” wants to know and wants to investigate Israel’s actions regarding the flotilla. Obama came out lukewarm on this and gave his de facto support. Israel on the other hand will have none of this. As far as they are concerned the flotilla was advised to turn away and chose to bring it to violence instead. If that is not clear to anyone then there is little that could be done to clear it up for you.

As any student of religion originating with Abraham can tell you, the descendents of Ishmael and the descendants of Isaac will always be at odds with each other: forever. I’m forever mystified by those who think that conflicts that have gone on for thousands of years can be resolved with peace talks. Do you not know that Palestinians are largely Muslim and by definition the only good Jew is a dead Jew? To the Muslim the only good Christian is a dead Christian. In fact, if you are not a Muslim, your death is desired and even encouraged by the Quran. Let us be clear that in Islam there is no room for criticism. Draw a cartoon or speak poorly of the prophet Muhammad and you will know the wrath of Islam.

This brings me to my final thoughts. What better nation to seize than one where you are Innocent until proven guilty, you have the right to remain silent, your freedoms are guaranteed by the Constitution which you seek to destroy, and where your religion allows you to lie. Technically Muslims are only allowed to lie under these conditions:

Muslims are allowed to only lie during battle, essentially in war. Muslims are allowed to lie in order to bring peace between two people, and also when a wife and husband are fighting with each other and they lie to bring about an end to their problems.

It would not take a lawyer to find that these rules are full of loopholes. If the truth be known Muslims are at war right now with the American way of life:

TEHRAN, June 4, 2009-- Iran's supreme leader dismissed President Obama's speech at Cairo University Thursday, saying the Muslim world continues to "hate America."

So, if you want to see what Israel will do, just push them. I don’t advise it but then who listens to me anyway.

Ps Better call ahead for extra extra virgins...

Oi Vey! Oi Vey! Now what Iran Say!

No sooner had I penned “Oi Vey” and now Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is demanding that Obama choose between Israel and Iran:

“The support of both Israel and Iran can’t go hand in hand…” according to the Iranian President.

This is the guy our president has hopes of negotiating with. It is hard to tell between “O” and “A” who is the crazier. Obama thinks he can shmooze Ahmadinejad and Mahmoud plans to continue his shtick of “Iran wants just a few more days” to build the bomb… oh, I mean to comply with the world’s wishes.

It would seem that if Israel is waiting on Obama to do something they might as well be waiting for Iran to become their favorite allies. Perhaps they should get in line with General Mc Crystal and those waiting for some support in Afghanistan. That this man would even think to issue such a statement and then expect anything from the civilized world is beyond understanding. Yet, we resist sanctions and blockades as we are expecting Mahmoud to act in good faith.

In the meantime, Iran continues to violate the civil rights of their people and send weapons to anyone who will use them against America or her allies. Just this past week Israel intercepted an arms shipment bound for Palestine. These of course were to help the peace effort and despite that the containers were marked with the Iranian symbols and the ships manifest showed the cargo as Iranian, they deny it.

There is one thing that is undeniable. Israel will not sit by idly forever. They cannot nor will they. They have “everything to lose” and nothing to gain. Think about it.

Oi Vay!

While I am not Jewish I find it interesting to surf the Israeli newspapers for their perspective on subjects that may be of interest to Americans. Needless to say their coverage of subject is specific to them but those topics of common interest often have information that we never would see in our media. For example how does this headline strike you?

Ahmadinejad to Cancel Food, Fuel subsidies, for transfer to Nuclear Projects
This November 8th headline describes his government reallocating $30-$50 billion dollars to go towards their nuclear ambitions. This was approved by the Iranian parliament. Doesn’t this just encourage the heck out of you that playing nicey nicey with Iran is only hurting American interests. Rahm Emmanuel was to speak to General Assembly of the Jewish Federations as the keynote speaker in D.C. today. Perhaps he should “listen already to what they could tell him”. We are afraid of Sanctions because it might hurt the people that lunatic is starving.

Couple that with the latest Iranian solid fuel rocket, with 10 times the power of their previous Omid 1 rocky. They plan to put a satellite into orbit. Maybe later they can send the bomb as far as Warsaw or launch it from a ship to let’s say… Not let’s not. It will have a range of 2450 kilometers and will be able to support a fair size payload, I mean, satellite.

This with the fact that relations between Obama and Netanyahu aren’t exactly rosy… One Israeli describes Netanyahu’s perspective of America this way:
Netanyahu likes to say that the United States is big and that the Israeli public is mistaken in identifying the American viewpoint only with the president. The true America, Netanyahu says, begins 70 miles west of New York and ends 70 miles east of Los Angeles, and within this enormous space, Israel has millions of loyal supporters.

This writer goes on to point out that Israel’s diplomacy with the American is with a Novice in charge of a Superpower. When you put it that way I suppose Israel may have some serious concerns. We Americans seem to have little or no affect on Obama’s decision making. It is anyone’s guess what Obama may do, or as more often tends to be the case, what Obama won’t do.
