Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister and former military chief Moshe Ya’alon today announced that Israel’s air force was “primed” for a war against Iran, and said that the nation also had the capability to attack Gaza, Lebanon, and fight a conventional war against Syria.
Ya’alon also said that there was “no doubt, looking at the overall situation, that we are already in a military confrontation with Iran.” Israel has accused Iran of arming most of its enemies in neighboring countries.
Exactly what Ya’alon’s comments mean with respect to a prospective Israeli attack on Iran is unclear, but Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened such attacks. Vice President Joe Biden said Israel had agreed to “hold off” on the attack until after the next round of UN sanctions.
Ya’alon is considered hawkish, even by the current government’s standards, and has often courted controversy with blunt comments, such as declaring the Palestinians a “cancer” and likening an anti-settlement group, Peace Now, to a “virus.”
Anyone seen Ironman 2?
The same Marvel fantasy at work.
Wow and according to Moshe, those Israelis must be supermen. They're gonna 'take on the world'!
Primed for war? They must be ready to launch their nukes, because that is the ONLY realistic way for Israel to defeat Iran.
>>capability to attack Gaza
Implying that attacking a Ghetto is pretty hard.
The point isn't for Israel to defeat Iran, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza militarily. The point will be for the US to defeat Iran and Israel to crush the rest. And there is no other plausible explanation for Israel's hardliners' obsession for war with Iran. They want to make an ethnically cleansed Greater Israel a fait accomplis. And don't be fooled by the idea that this guy is an extremist. Right wing extremists are running the show all over these days.
And what is the difference in Iran arming Hamas and Hezbolla and the US arming Israel?
Listen all of you, I respect your opinion on the subject but you should be all realistic that Israel doesn't have the military capacity to attack just Iran alone, it's impossible for just a tiny Island to do that. On the other hand this so called Deputy PM is a dreamer an extremist and a propagandist. It's just a game of fear-warmongering that they've been playing for years. Iran knows all of that and their last worry is Israel attacking them.

The reason I am not going give money to help your site because your site is censoring comments which is critical of Israel such as one made by Dr.Hockem.I was going to give you $2,000.
yes we are ready to launch overwhelming attacks on every nation in the region and win!!!
oh and also we are so scared and threaten so please keep those billions of dollars flowing or else we will be destroyed!
Israel just won't be happy until it starts another war.
Yes.
Cancer? the General must be talking about himslef
.He and his Cronies must think they are some kind of Gods or something.
We need to stop every dime and every weapon give away to these arrogant turds,see how tough and how far they can go after that without our money.
Divest from and BOYCOTT everything made in the fascist apartied terrorist state of israshell. On that note we must boycott all performing artists that perform in the apartied state.
Artists who refuse to honour the cultural boycott against apartheid in Israel need a wake up call. THEIR DVD’s, cassettes, videos and wherever else their works appear must be boycotted, perhaps then they will get the message.
Artists that have performed in Israel in the past year include:
Paul McCartney
Paul Anka
The Pet Shop Boys
Madonna
Lady Gaga
Leonard Cohen
Depeche Mode and Morrissey
Artists that are scheduled to appear this summer include:
Elton John
The Pixies
Rod Stewart
Paul Anka
And now: Ozzy Osbourne joins the list. So, let’s close our ears to their music and our purse strings to their products.
As a matter of conscience we should also boycott local businesses who carry merchandise made in apartied israhell until they remove the offending merchandise from their shelves.
Any merchandise that has the number 729 as the first 3 digits in its bar code was made in fascist israhell. Inform the shop owner that you will not patronize their establishment until the offending merchandise is REMOVED. The boycott is working quite well; it will work much better as the number of participants grow. We can and will break them. As the global economy worsens: what better way to lessen the load on our country than by dumping as much misery as we can on that rogue terrorist state!
Israhell is a pariah that must be isolated, shunned and obliterated in the same manner they intend to obliterate all those not of their religious cult.
waste of time, better to send $$$$$$…. Just like Germany.. It was going forward was their end…
