Speaking today in an interview with Russian media, Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Ya’alon urged a military attack on Iran, saying it was necessary to prevent the nation from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Ya’alon was hoping it wouldn’t simply be the oft-threatened Israeli attack, however. In the interview he calls on the “entire civilized world” to join in the attack because Iran is “a threat to the entire civilized world.”
Interestingly enough, just five months ago Ya’alon was downplaying the need for immediate action against Iran, saying that the nation was technologically incapable of creating nuclear weapons and was several years away.
Ya’alon has been calling for attacks on Iran off and on for several years, saying that talks with Iran were doomed to failure and only a military attack was an option. The calls have often come with a sense of urgency, but despite years of “imminent threats” never materializing, they still appear to have considerable currency among Israeli politicians.
There is a "rogue" nation in the Middle East that already has nuclear weapons and hasn't the least bit of sympathy for the civilians it indiscriminately blows to bits with the conventional ones. I wonder just how much they'd squeal like pigs were its neighbors to call for an attack upon it. Hmmmm?
Let me give it to you like this Mr. Deputy PM or FM or AM.., you call yourself part of that civilizations that you talking about….? hehehehehehehehehehe. If your wording is correct "entire civilized world" then Palestinians must be part of that world that you are talking about.., or for that matter the Iranian as well.., look world is not based on Israel and dosent gos around for or because of Israel.
Peace will only come to the Middle East when sane men replace the madmen governing Isreal.
The only problem I have with that statement is that you are assuming that there are sane people to replace them. Once a "sane" person becomes one of the Archons, they no longer remain sane. At that point they no longer serve those who elected them, they serve those who own them. And they will do anything to protect their position of power and those who rule with them. And it's not just the Israelis, it's all of them all over the world. Why else would the American congress flaunt their fealty to a foreign head of state?
There was a popular uprising a few years ago based on the slogan "throw the bums out!!" It mostly failed miserably – "not my guy!! – he's ok!!". It was the right idea but there wasn't an over-riding impetus to move the people. With the in-your-face arrogance the elected are displaying now and the sky-rocketing (snark) approval rating of Congress I wonder if it might not be the right time to revive the meme to throw them all out.
You're absolutely correct. Great observation.
You can make israeli war crimials squeal anywhere. They are cowards outside of israel. They know that we know they are war criminals and we have been treating them accordingly. Israeli's are not our friends. They are terrorists at the highest level.
I heard today (30 May 2011) on CCTV (Mainland China TV) that some officers from the South Korean military said that the alleged attack by the DPRK on one of its warships was fabricated. The web site that posted it has been taken down, but the DPRK siezed on it as would be expected. If this is true, it re-enforces the concept that a German made Israeli submarine sank the South Korean ship. The Israelis are famous for false flag attacks since the time they attacked the USS Liberty.

The metallic debris and chemical residue appear to be consistent with a type of torpedo made in Germany,
Who's stopping you from attacking Iran, Ya’alon. Why embroil others in your hatred.
Entire civilised world? What would that criminal madman know about being civilised? Hey Ya'alon how about coming over to Europe on a visit, you f…king criminal. We'll give you a really warm welcome and we'' allow you to stay for a fery long time…in prison jerk. Presumably if ths criminal is allowed to call for attacks on a nation then so is anyone else right?
Israel is a rogue state. It is the only state in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. Its time to stop sending our tax dollars to this wannabe theocratic regime.
I find it interesting that a couple weeks ago this guy did not see Iran as a problem. I guess the powerful of Israel is concerned with the talk of creation of a Palestine state. I feel that if Israel wants Iran bomb then they should do it. If it results in a long drawn out war costing tens of thousands of dead IDF then let Israel pick up the tab. We have too many problems in our nation to support stupid people and an attack on Iran would be a blunder. Sometimes keeping the IDF bloated in expensive military toys is going to bite the chosen in the rear end.
No, I do not agree with that, sorry!!
Iran is a peaceful nation and nobody has the right to bomb it!
Not even the most criminal bastard nations like the US and Israel!
(BTW, I do not think that every US citicen is bad, but the system, called "democracy" is NOT working.)
W9
…the system, called "democracy" is NOT working."
Exactly. Central to the problem.
"Democracy" has become degraded by the power hungry elites, for whom it briefly loomed as an obstacle to their irresistible impulse to dominate. But the elites have solved that "problem. They have transformed (ie degraded) democracy to the point that it is now their tool: an ideological fantasy, a feel-good "cover story" to gull the common folk into believing that the system is just, so exceptionally just in fact, that it warrants making war on anyone so as to help them to join the "democracy" club.
The sad truth: it's just the cover story in our time for the age old pursuit of global conquest. And if history is any indication, justice doesn't stand a chance.
Currently, the problem with Israel attacking Iran is that the United States, because of the dominating position of the Israel firsters in congress, will drag the people of the United States into yet another Middle Eastern war. A number of people are yapping about Obomba unconstitutionally involving the United States in Libya's civil war. Well, the only thing worse than being dragged into a war by a child killing president that acts outside the law, is to be dragged into a war because of the lunatic rants of a Deputy PM of a sh-tbag country, and that sh-tbag countries loyal supporters in congress.
I gree if Israel wants war with Iran they should fight the illegal war on there dime and lives.But America seems to do what it's told by Israel so nothing but American intervention should be expected.Russia,Syria and others including maybe even China will help Iran so this can easly become the third world war.I agree with MoT the dangerous rougue nation in the mid east is Israel so I don't no were they get the nerve to talk about others.Like the Bilble says Take the log out of your own eye before you speak about the spec in somone elses.
Israel YOU go attack Iran, If you do it you are on your own No more American lives lost for you!
How the hell is Iran a 'threat to the entire civilized world' ? Who's next ? Venezuela ? Syria ? Cuba ? Democracy Now ? Uri Avnery ? Yes, let's all invade whoever and whatever Israel tells us to. Let's target politicians and activists for assassination. Israel is the beacon of democracy and the harbinger of Armaggedon. The Messiah with guns.
Iran is providing arms to Hezobell in Lebanon. The last move by the IDF in Lebanon resulted in a total defeat of the IDF. The IDF does not like to attacked well armed enemy. That is the problem of Iran it is causing a problem with Israel stealing the bottom 1/2 of Lebanon which will provide the natural gas fields off the coast and the water of the Latavi river. It is a terrible situation for Israel. Even if they knock off Iran it is know known if the iDF can stand up to the Hezobell. Israel does not want the possible quesiton of the superior IDF soldier such as zoolander. It is easier to make a superior soldier on film than real life.
The "entire civilized world" would not include Israel, so what it's asking is for other people to do its dirty work for it. Not enough that these blood-sucking parasites are stealing Palestinian land and American tax money, now they want us to do their fighting. Don't these stinking zionists ever tire of bloodshed and destruction? They are addicted to warfare and victimization. What a psychotic nation!
What an evil man.
Either he is doing it to keep the Iranians off balance, or he is a doddering old fool who should really be ignored at this point, since he can no longer remember what he says.
He's probably just kissing up to some group in domestic Israeli politics. Looking for his next job.
These people are never going to happy until they have pushed the world to a nuclear world war. i don't think israel will survive such an event.
This clown calls on the “entire civilized world” to join in the attack because Iran is “a threat to the entire civilized world.” Nothing new here- the same old Troublemaker Israel – instigating again.
Let`s change that " Iran" into . . . . Israel and we have a go – go.
Thats probably why they run for public office.
They are incapable of speaking the truth OR acting honourably.
Sure, the masters feel empowered now after their recent victory in Capitol Hill. Iran is next and the sky is the limit. The good news is that Iran will be war #5. And the Iranians will fight back with all their might. At this rate, we can start counting from -100 till the collapse of the empire.
If Israel is so afraid of Iran, why don't they just go in and take them out themselves? If Iran is such an 'existential threat' to Israel, why the hesitation?
One can only conclude one of two answers: a) Israel is too weak to take on Iran by itself and has to sway others in to fighting its wars for them, or b) Israel is just plain to scared to do it themselves.
Personally, I think both A and B are correct.
ISRAEL, YOU ARE A COWARD NATION. /slap in the face with a glove.
Or, as in The Holy Grail, "Your mother was a hamster and your father was a silly person!"… ( end sarcasm, or not )
