In a new interview with Israel’s Channel 2, Israeli President Shimon Peres suggested an attack on Iran was increasingly likely, saying “the possibility of a military attack against Iran is now closer to being applied than the application of a diplomatic option.”
Peres insisted that “there is an impression that Iran is getting closer to nuclear weapons,” a charge which Israeli officials seem to hope will be reinforced by a release of IAEA “evidence” against Iran, though European diplomats are already insisting this evidence is far short of the “smoking gun” some are hyping it as.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak also seemed to be talking up the prospect of such an attack in an interview with the BBC, saying diplomacy had “failed” and that Israel would never rule out the possibility of attacking Iran.
Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are seen to be working in tandem to convince the rest of the cabinet of the wisdom of launching a unilateral attack within the next few weeks, arguing that the weather will soon make such an attack less convenient for Israeli warplanes.
When someone falls back on the old "military option", because of their historical hostility to peaceful dialogue, then you know all of their excuses are a lie.
Of Course if you have never really actually carried out diplomacy with a country of course there is little chance!
I find it hard to believe that the majority of the Israeli citizens are on board with the line of rhetoric Netan-yahoo and Peres are pushing. Surely they understand that if they do attack Iran (or get the US to do it for them) that the citizens of Israel will pay dearly. Iran is militarily capable of a sizable retaliation and while the "leaders" are safely ensconced in their well-stocked bomb shelters and underground bunkers, the majority of the Israeli people will be left to watch the Iranian missiles come raining down on their heads. Sheer lunacy. Surely the entire Israeli population is not suicidal, as their "leaders" seem to be.
Could an attack on Iran be Israel's "Stalingrad" ? They were the ordinary German citizens who initially supported Hitler, who finally paid the terrible price for their stupidity. It all looks frightfully familiar.
This could be Iraq all over again. The new evidence clearly is shocking in the lack of anything meaningful. The fact that the same people could get another war going actually is ver sad. We lost 4400 of our kids and crippled over 40,000 over the lies the same people are pushing again.
I will believe it more when Israel joins and give up its nuclear weapons because the middle east is nuke free. Until all nations give them up then I see no reason to do anything to put a nation who has attacked just about everyone in the superior position.
give peace a chance and de nuke Israel then get rid of the nukes of the rest of the nations.
One thing these stupids don’t count or maybe don’t want to count is that with recent Islamic revolutions in region if they attack Iran there is a high possibility that many other countries involve in this war.Shi’ite government of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon Hezbollah, Palestinian Hamas, shi’ite people of Bahrain and many other groups and countries are now with Iran, only god knows that how many people and nation would become with Iran in a full war situation.
Its good to hear that Euroupean diplomates are saying this is far from a smoaking gun.The entire world needs to speak as load as possible against these illegal and unconstitutional wars.Netanyahu is far less stable and untrustworthly than Amadinashad hope thats speeled right.Russia and China and the world need to demand this don't happen.Israel is the country with illegal nukes tourturing people and starting wars mostly on Americas back.This will back fire more than most realize it will most likely lead to WW3.
Ok and we're told that " terrorist " are Muslim etc… However Israeli conducts itself as if they're the real terrorist.
All US citizens need to stand together and not allow these terrorist to attack Iran and start WWIII.
Obama is the real terrorist
Israel wants war, that much is clear.
The question now is whether or not the American people can yet again be conned into fighting Israel’s war.
Prez the war seeking guy, is their Nobel prize winner!!!! And their president .think about the other government personnel o israel.. What a peaceful nation!!!
