Scratching Their Heads

And so much of it has been going on that Arab and Iranian heads are starting to get a little sore.

Will Israel attack?

Or, are they just going to leave it up the US?

That is a very good question, and it’s exactly what Israel wants you to keep asking.

Psychology is one of the most important aspects of fighting a war and is often the single most important factor in winning one. If your enemy thinks that they cannot win, they won’t fight.

Do you know that we are still not sure if Israel has nuclear weapons?

Going MAD

Hey, we went M.A.D. in 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, and we did okay, right?

That’s right. Mutual Assured Destruction. It worked for our parents and grandparents, so why can’t it work for us?

I mean, those Iranians are people just like us, right?

They can’t be worse than those crazy Soviet communists, right?

No. Not right.

The Mullocracy in Iran makes every Stalinist government in the world look like Jeffersonian democrats.

In fact, I’d go as far as to say that Adolf Hitler would be preferable to what is in power in Tehran right now. At least Hitler responded to threats. No, really. Adolf only became suicidal towards the end.

Full Alert Over Passover

For the first time in a long, long time, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) is going to remain on full alert over Passover.

I don’t know about you, but that’s unsettling.

And no, this is not some last minute change in IDF policy. Benny Gantz (IDF Chief of Staff) didn’t wake up and suddenly realize that Israeli soldiers have turned into a bunch of pansies and need to be in uniform during the High Holy Days. It’s certainly not a change in policy that you make at the last minute.

Jewish mothers everywhere are going to be upset, and you do NOT want that.

New Moon Over Iran

Watch for the New Moon.

Within five days of the new moon, Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities – five days before through to five days after – as they did when they took out the Syrian reactor. The first window opened on March 17, and it closes on March 27th. The next one opens on April 16th and closes on the 26th.

And then, there’s May, June, July…

But, the point is the New Moon.

Why? Because you do not want to make it easy for Israeli aircraft to be identified and shot down.

They’re worried that US military personnel might be killed when Iran retaliates after Israel strikes Iranian nuclear production sites.

This possibility should give no one any joy, and certainly doesn’t please the Israelis. The problem is that the fault for this lies squarely with the highest levels of the US administration. When Israel has cooperated with the US and shared vital intelligence, that intelligence has often been used against Israel.

On top of this, the US has consistently blocked Israel’s efforts to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program. And, this is a problem that goes back to the Bush administration – and beyond.
