Threatening to attack Iran has been such a popular pastime for Israeli governments that they created an entire government ministry called the Strategic Affairs Ministry whose sole purpose is to spend all day planning “initiatives” aimed at an eventual war with Iran.
The election of a reformist president in Iran and a push for diplomacy that is gaining worldwide traction has been disconcerting to Israeli officials, to say the least, and has led to angry condemnations, hawkish speeches, and now comments from Likud MP Tzachi Hanegbi saying his government is no longer convinced the US is serious about its threats to attack Iran.
This has Israel’s hawkish officials talking up the prospect of a unilateral attack, and according to new reports today, has them holding “intensive meetings” with top officials from a number of Gulf states, in an attempt to cobble together an alliance to attack Iran without the US.
Though the reports didn’t specify which nations’ officials were met with, the smart money is on the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain, all long-time regional rivals of Iran.
In the past, there have been on-again, off-again rumors of Saudi Arabia being willing to grant Israel an airspace corridor through which to attack Iran, though the Saudi government has always denied that this would be the case. The new talks seem likely to revive that speculation.
Don't tell me, gulf tyrant states of brutality, the NATO regimes of the Northern Europe, like that Norwegian Neo fascism government, the Swedish and Danish rattmussen, the Saudis, the Turkish, the Jordanians all are in this alliance wanting to attack Iran? In another word, Israel and USA don't have any other way gathering "Aliance" then what is out there for them to be alliances with. But Off course the Iranians will stay still when they are attacked, as well as Russia and other countries in the region that are the friend of Iran.
Let's put it into prospective, if Iran goes then Iraq will go, then Syria will be in hands of Zionism which makes USG a very happy camper, then is Russia turn to be controlled by Saudis jihadist imported directly from Saudi Arabia, that also will make USG and the British monarchism very happy.
Bush regime invaded Iraq for such day for Israel and Saudis tyrants to cooperate, Hitler made his life mistakes when he invaded Russia, thinking first: that communism needed to be destroyed and then for his militarism going south occupying Central Asia and Persian gulf. Bush didn't, he went directly to the source by attacking Iraq on the bases of lying to the world, Obama is doing exactly the same by following the direction, a directed and orchestrated idea set by Paul Wolfowitz which the next president will follow as well. Obama ideology is about, first democracy needs to be destroyed by the way of religious extremism and self grown jihadist trained and well feed by Saudis, the Turkish government, the Jordanians, the Israelis, the European and etc.
Such idea that Saudis and other gulf tyrants cooperating with Israel Zionism regime attacking Iran is only possible when Jewish people have changed their religious or Saudis and rest have changed their religious to jewdaism. But is possible.
The core of all these wars are religious, don't have anything to do with democracy, in reality is to destroy democracy of all kind, these are the wars of "interests" divided among those that are creating these wars, these wars are not for people's freedom from vulture capitalism and Neo fascism on the rise, but rather proxy wars for later wars.
It seems to me that one important way to bring Israel's intentions and the breadth of their power into public light is to examine how Congress is being made to threaten health care (and "stop" America) in order to compel Obama to continue the hardline against Iran – much in the same way that they did in the wake of Obama's Cairo speech.
Continue your all-important good work!
Dear Mr Ditzzy, refer to the Persian Gulf by its name, not what Arabs and England demand.
Are you uneducated or just ignorant?
I am hoping for a Arab spring in Saudi Arabia to get rid of those bloated royal pigs.
The entire Zionist modus operandi since the First Zionist Congress in 1897 has been to play enemies off against each other and to make temporary alliances of convenience which can be betrayed at just the right moment to benefit the Zionists. Of course, many times the Zionists are the ones who are betrayed first, and it serves them right. Nevertheless, they clearly regard the tactic as being in their favor in the aggregate. Regarding this latest alliance, Nuttyyahoo has probably got the thing locked up in his favor by suborning/corrupting/shmoozing/blackmailing Prince Bandar.
Bibi, fearful of improving US-Iran relations, directed his whining not at the people of Israel, but the American public during a speech to diehard AIPAC supporters. Bibi has a tough road to hoe to sway the 76% of Americans who favor diplomacy with Iran. Bibi's speech was typical of this whiner who boasted Israel is the (only) buffer the (world) has against the (insane) Islamist (terrorists).
What was interesting to me was how little play Netanyahu's U.N. speech got compared to what he usually gets. I know the gov shutdown played into this, but I think there was a conscious effort in the MSM to downplay his entire visit.
I think it's great that Israel is going to try to put together an alliance to attack Iran. The idea of these nancies finally get their hands dirty, and paying the freight, is very appealing to those who are sick and tired of America always doing their dirty work.
While some Gulf State would be on-side enough to allow the Israelis to 'sneak' across their air space on the way to attack Iran, they're 'Arab' enough to need to at least try to shoot one or two down on the reverse leg of the trip. Helping the Jews bomb muslims is sort of a massively historic deal buster.
What they really need to do is get the Saudis and the Gulf States to bomb Iran.
Bibi blathered at the podium that if the US would not support an attack on Iran, Israel was prepared to go it alone…well, almost alone, except for the six or seven Arab countries Israel needs to facilitate the attack, and most likely take a majority of the backlash from Iran and the rest of the world while Israel whines about being the world's bedpan.
Israel is more and more delusional in its importance and "choseness". It has burned far too many bridges and behaved far to abhorrently in its racist, apartheid, expansionism to lead any country, anywhere, in any diplomatic initiative…except the United States and its whorishly owned government. If it has lost the ability to subvert the US into fighting its wars and avoiding any accountability for its crimes, it has lost.
Hahaha, Israels ass was drilled in 2006 by some lightly armed guys, and again by Hamas. Saudi Arabia's butt got handed to them by Haouthis in Yemen about 1.5 years ago. Thats why those losers want America to attack. 2 losers do not make a winner.
A joke, but how many people will believe it. Israel does not move a FINGER unless given a sign from Washington. Now, it may not be the "official" Washington, but it is from the halls of real power. In this case, this is precisely Obama's style. Let "somebody" else start something, and we will "help". But people in US have started to see the pattern. It may be Bush-in-your-face start a war that Americans do not care about, or Obama "who, me?" casual, cool, "just helping", "we saw, we came, and he is — dead", kind od imperial greatness. Either way, Israel is only the visible part of the imperial moving hand. Now that they have Egypt under Saudi Salafi rule — that has hundreds of millions of population — under their thumb — THEY ARE THINKING BIG.
Agreed. Israel won't do a damn thing without US green light (witness Lebanon 2006). I guess that's part of what our 8.5 mil a day buys us from these fanatics.
A load of bullshit, show me one time, just one time this chi**y little country has done anything remotely successful in military terms? They send washington what they want to do and Washington has to agree. Now Iran is way bigger than anything they could handle hence the incessant snake hissing and threats.
Look no further than the Iraq war (2003) to see who pulls the strings in Washington. The only thing I agree with you on is that official washington is powerless, but the powers that be are most definitely Israeli firsters.
Hmmm … does defeating five Arab armies, including one armed, trained, backed and led by the British, count as "anything remotely successful in military terms?"
The US will always win the battles, but lose the war. Look at Vietnam.
Global Zionist war-plotting is an undeniable act of criminality. Warmongering flies in the face of the Geneva Conventions, the Nuremburg protocols and the UN Charter. It is a criminal enterprise.
In a just and orderly world, Israel would be a recognized for what it is: a nuclear rogue State, bent on military conquest, that should suffer an immediate world-wide economic embargo. The Zionist entity is wildly out of control and must be stopped.
You remember that bomb diagram that Netanyahu held up at the UN depicting Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons program (see: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/27/biny… )?
It actually was a cat scan of Bibi's head. Maybe he should visit Iran's nuclear medicine treatment facilities and get a good dose of radiation to treat the Zionist cancer that has poisoned his brain.
More terrorist hot air and blather. Seriously, the jewish tough guys of the State of Israel, can they fight ANY battles on their own?
Any attack on Iran in coordination with fake oppressive Gulf monarchies at this point in time would further serve to isolate them all.
Israel is so mad, they waited to long for their cold war with Iran to get hot, now their scrambling for war before the world realizes Ahmadinejad is gone and Iran is starting to change.
if true, hopefully, the gulf states are too timid and in the case of saudi/qatar severaly depleted if not near bankrupted by their adventures into syria..one hopes their populations wake up to who they are being invited into bed with..no likes israel due to the oppression/dispossession of the palestinians
in this case hopefully there would be revolt i this unholy alliance eventuates.
also doubt the GStates will front up with human resources …but they may still some money and allow israeli military to use their territory to lauch an attack….its will just bring more chaos to the reason and may draw in the us to protect little israel
Amazing how quickly the Nazis were able to reincarnate and now if you are critical of them they accuse you of being antisemitic !
