The west in general and the US in particular are keen to threaten war with Iran at every opportunity. Israeli officials, however, are greeting tomorrow’s resumption of negotiations with Iran with a demand that the west make their threats more overt.
Officials said that the US and others have kept saying that “all options are on the table” so long that no one believes them, and that the threats need “specificity” if Iran is to be cowed into submitting to whatever demands they are presented with tomorrow.
Of course, every time a new round of talks begins, hints of progress are quickly dispelled with a new round of even more aggressive US demands. Israel’s position now is that those demands, whatever they might be, must be backed with the threat of immediate military action if they are refused.
The Israeli officials, who were not named in the reports in the Israeli media, say this is the “only” way diplomacy can work, but Israel’s leadership has been loudly condemning the negotiations at every step in the first place, so their are hardly credible in their estimate of how to make the talks a success.
So sad to see the victims become arch-victimizers………
In the eye of an apartheid regime nothing is true nor anything is working unless is threaten by force of a military action, thats the nature of an apartheid regime.
This gang won't be happy until we are in another world war.
I believe nobody cares any more what Israel says. It has become the embodiment of the lying shepherd who constantly cried wolf.
That is also true about the bigger Israel, aka Big Satan, that like a scratched CD keeps saying, “All options are on the table.” while in reality it has only one option left, and that is war. Iran does not seem to be scared and is not going to roll over.
Oh believe me our leaders in congress care what Israel says. They grovel before that fat slob Netanhoohoo,s feet, Does any one ever think although Iran has welcomed inspections of thier nuclear program, Israel tells the whole world to pound salt in their ass when it comes to inspecting their nuclear arsenal. Iran is a signatory of the NPT. Israel is not.
"…hardly credible in their estimate of how to make the talks a success." Well, that depends on your goal. If your goal is meaningful negotiations than yes, it's hardly successful. But to date, I have seen no indications of any US interest in meaningful negotiations with Iran, so perhaps Israel is only making explicit what is implicit in the whole charade in the first place.
It is great to see Israel expose itself as it continues to try to manipulate the US into war with Iran. This is not going to happen. Iran will have breakout capability and Israel will have to live with it. Suddenly Israel will become a much less demanding and belligerent nation. Americans should Google "Why Iran Needs a Nuclear Bomb".
One needs someone with the same courage and moral influence as Prof. Roberto Unger to tell the Israeli government to shut up and also to begin to cut back on military and other assistance. The American people accept what is in the media, but underneath they are seething about the Likud government and are beginning to understand how cancerous its agenda and influence, and the consequences have been to the nation. The arrogance of their campaign on behalf of Jonathan Pollard whose theft of government secrets may have been more damaging to our real national security than that of the spies Ames and Hansen is yet one more example of the character of that government and its lobbyists.
Are they attempting to vindicate the pretext for the final solution….. & every "blood libel'" from, before the protocols……..??? To the crucifiction….???? and …. Are they BLIND to the consequences they will reap……. ??? They have become true believers…. AKA known as Stockholm syndrome: It's extremely sad… avoidable…. and NOW It's them….. nuclear armed to the teeth….with the blood on their hands…… CRAZY….!!!
Let's have israel join the NPT. You don't play the game therefor you don't get to make the rules.
Israel could start by first OBEYING the UN security council resolutions that have been made for them to follow! Not weasel around the word" the" that appears in French but not the English translation because of the way French makes a noun masculine or Feminine.
It could then follow that up by joining the NPT and then allowing inspectors into its Nuclear facilities!
The media could also help here by accurate reporting! No more reporting the words which were false in relation to the Iranian President in relation to the destruction of Israel. Reporting when Netanyahu actually tells the world that Iran ISNT building Nukes, and isnt actually trying to build Nukes!
It is interesting how Israel has no patience when comes to producing results from the talks with Iran, however, when it comes to the peace negotiations with the Palestinians the Israelis are willing to drag the negotiations for decades without any positive results.
That is because the longer they drag it out the more land they can steal for their settlements. These settlements are in clear violation of international law. However international law does not apply to the holiest of states Israel.
What the israelis want is to have US goyim do the fighting and dying for them, while expending US treasure to do it.
If israel wants war with Iran, then let israel spend the money and do the fighting.
'The threats need specifity…' ? What do they want – the US to make a list of all the people they intend to kill ? A list 10 million long would be hard to come up with. And then they insist on 'immediate military action'. Boy they really think they rule the roost don't they ? Put the American nation on alert, Israel needs to use it for a while to destroy another nation. Have all the American politicians received their secret orders yet ?
The oreders giving the date havent arrived but the AIPAC campaign payoffs and the Free trips to Israel have all happenned!
and Israel has the nerve to complain that (they say) Iran threatens to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Until Israel matches Iran- and every other nuclear nation- signature-for-signature on every nuclear control protocol and allows exactly the same inspections they call for Iran to undergo, Israel has no standing to demand ANYTHING of any nation with regard to nuclear programs be they civil or military in nature. If you don't play by the rules you don't get to play at all.
