1. As long as BB gets himself re-elected, that's the priority..

2. Iran is gradually encircling Israel

Iran is tightening the noose around Israel. Lebanon Syria, Gaza, amybe Sinai and certainly Iraq. With Yemen it now controls the Red Sea. They have place thousands of rockets around Israel ready to be launched at any time. I am afraid that time of war against Iran is coming fast. The only effective weapons Israel has against Iran are nuclear and chemical and biological, and Israel has to use them all.
3. Iran is way over extended and will not persist

Sunnis are much more numerous and will end up striking Shias with a blow of biblical proportions, only as Jihad knows how.
4. Israel should take over the Syrian held Golan
CJK   (03.06.15)
it is much more preferable to be on the offensive than to be on the defensive. this is all the more true in the present case when the territory in question is high ground overlooking northern israel and where missiles and terrorists can be planted.
5. A good but alarming article

Never a quiet day in your neck of the woods, no sir.
8. Israel has no good choices

Currently, the Golan is controlled by Al Qaida and the two groups trying to displace Al Qaida are ISIL and Hezbollah. On the scale of who hates Israel the least, and is least likely to kill Israelis, that woudl be Hezbollah. ISIL is far, far worse for Israel than Hezbollah or Iran, with Al Qaida not much better than ISIL Israeli irrational paranoia about Iran could give the worst possible enemy (ISIL) a stronghold in the Golan. BTW - If Israel follows CJK recommendation, how do you think that will turn out and how many thousands of Israelis woudl die in the process? Why Isrelisa think Iran is the "enemy" when the Saudis are financing the brutal ISIL, I just can not understand.
9. Iranization
(03.08.15)
How did the Iranization start? Israel (under Barak and Herzog) destroyed the SLA and let Hezbolla rule Lebanon. In 2006, Israel (under Livni) prevented the IDF from destroying Hezbolla. Now we have Iranian allied forces in Lebanon, Syria, Golan, Gaza, Bab el Mandeb, and soon Jordan. Imagine what they could do if the Herzog/Livni plan of establishing an Iranian puppet state in Judea and Samaria. Can someone explain why anyone would vote for Herzog and Livni?
