Israel is a sovereign nation and has all the rights in the world to defend itself. It does not need any permission from any country to defend itself. It is evident that the Obama administration is not a reliable partner in such a venture. And it would be foolhardy to spill the beans to such a partner who may end up being a Judas to Israel. Israel will do well keeping its secrets tight to its chest.

Deputy FM: Assad doesn't want peace ALL THE LATEST SYRIAN DIPLOMACY, ARE A PLOTTING TOGHETER WITH IRAN , AGAINST ISRAEL AND THE WEST, FOR A DIPLOMATIC OPENING WHICH CAN BE AN EXCUSE FOR STARTING A WAR AGAINST ISRAEL AND THE WEST. FURTHER - IRAN WILL NEVER BE STOPPED BY SANCTIONS FROM THE WEST, NOT EVEN BY MILITARY STRIKES. YOU CAN ONLY POSTPONE THE IRANIAN CONVENTIONAL WAR AND INTENDED INVASION AGAINST ISRAEL, FOR A COUPLE OF YEAR BY SUCH A STRIKE. IRAN WILL HAVE THEIR NUCES. Orao.

WE STILL TEACH Self-determination - defined as free choice of ISRAELIS own acts without external compulsion. and especially as the freedom of the people ISRAEL of a given territory to determine our own political status or independence from THE current state. In other words, it is the right of the people of ISRAEL to decide how they want to be governed without the influence of any other country. NOW SHIFT OUT YOUR ARSE AWAY FROM ISRAEL- GOLAN ! WE WILL ROCK FROM WASHINGTON TO BEERSHEBA. ZION INTERNATIONAL :-)

it's the mighty US which manipulates Israel, not the reverse.

Then he can sit back while Hezbollah terrorizes Israel. He will do nothing to intervene and say, "It's not my job to guarantee Israel's security." He will do just as Abbas and Arafat did (until AIDS assassinated Arafat). Abbas and Arafat talked peace in English while they allowed Hamas and other terrorist groups to terrorize Israel.

the Iranians are arming Syria with bio. weapons to use on Israel. The July explosion at a Syrian military base at al-Safir, near Aleppo, in which reportedly "dozens" of Iranian engineers were killed along with their Syrian. The explosion was actually triggered while the engineers were fitting a chemical warhead onto a Scud-C missile. The explosion and fire released containers of the deadly nerve agents VX and sarin gas, as well as a mustard gas blistering agent.

....and it can also not risk being nuked - either from long range Via Iran or from one of it's proxies, Hamas, Hizbullah, etc. While world leaders shoot off rhetoric and things such as "unclench your fist!" or "Sanctions!" the world hopes we can find effectiveness is diplomacy - However much of it is filled with bull**** and lies. Haven't we learned anything from Nixon's trip to China? Why are these situations of detente still going on between numerous nations, not just Israel and Iran. Who is going to be the more courageous leader? Could we ever imagine to see Netanyahu go to Iran, Obama to N. Korea, or all vice versa? It'd be quite alluring yet humorous if the Israeli government sent out a formal invitation to Ahmanedijad to come visit Israel so they could speak. If not, let's hope the upcoming Iranian elections gives us something to be happy and relaxed about.

I realize the Palisteinians already have their own state solution such as it is if it fails it is due to internal differences not external not Israel we offer what is a mutual deal better than what Korea has Cuba has Germany Japan have Viet nam has so on we are no Pakistan India we have no problems it is all in America head dreams delusions because they can not accept that WE DO OFFER DO ALREADY HAVE A FAIR DEAL TO AND SO WITH THE ARABS RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.

the international level. he is transparent, he like the control in Lebanon, he won't let go of Hizb support that easily. more cracks in the thin ice he is walking on.
