Nine members of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, have signed a letter today promising total and unwavering support for any war against Iran, saying they have “complete faith” in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision on the matter.
Other than himself and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Netanyahu has struggled to find any backers for the war, which will reportedly be launched in the next two months. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman later expressed support for the war, but complained he would have rather seen it done a decade ago.
Conspicuously, the new letter doesn’t include any members of Netanyahu’s cabinet either, suggesting that while he is able to muster at least some support from backbenchers in his own party, he isn’t necessarily able to put together much support among his own coalition’s leadership.
Which may not matter, as both Netanyahu and Barak have repeatedly claimed that they alone have the right to decide on whether or not to start the war, while lashing the media for reporting polls showing strong opposition to the war and military leaders cautioning the attack would be a disaster, accusing them of “undermining” the war effort.

Strange, only 9 Shit*ylittlestateans unconditionally support war on Iran, against a full house of American congressmen and representative? There is something very weird here, no?
Imagine that, all they want is war, war, war.
The wife had her party yesterday for all foreign students (PHD canadates.) That's a very interesting bunch. From Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Mainland China, Thailand, Malaysa, Turkey, and Afghanistan. The Muslins were a lot more friendly this year. I actually had a good time this year and didn't feel like "Jihad" was coming next.
Glad you had a good time. You see people from different religious backrounds can get along. When you have radical musliums and christians aka roger you will never have peace though
Maybe its time to start being nice to people, all the time, even when they aren't. What could that hurt? Roger is a very nice person. You are too. Neither one of you needs to continue this feud.
Tried that multiple times with him. Even when I agree with him he will attack me.
Roger is only nice to you if you are christian and agree with what he says 100% of the time.
You do everything but quit the hate.
You just can't bring yourself to get past it.
You are the most hateful hypocritical bigot I have ever come across. Which is why EVEN you downgraded yourself to POS.

I'm really Mr. Hanky
Mr. Wee, you small little man. The hate just bubbles up.
And after that long weekend I wasn't sure you'd hit your stride this quickly unless you could call Israel child killers or something to put you in the mood.
I see you are using your guest profile now.
Is someone upset because I did not pay attention to them for three whole days?
I bet you refreshed my page multiple times a day. Just hoping you could get some attention. Now today you are begging for an a$$ kicking as usual.
I see you can't look at my comment very well if you think it's under a guest profile.
You just use the guest profile to TD people. Pretty childish on your part
Do I? Or are there other people who realize you're just a 'wee' little tiny man blinded by hate?
Yes, you do.
I find it quite amusing to TD'd for telling someone to be nice.
The people who read these comments are very biased against certain people, and show themselves to be such huge gutless cowards, with doing their drive by without commenting.
Oh well. In five years will the TD's matter or will you even think about it?
Doesn't really matter right now. It's Very funny to me.
And, I don't care what side of the fence they are really on either. It's still gutless. I can't wait for one of them the TD this comment. Just more laughs.
Well you get a TU from me
Yes, you finally found someone that actually pretends you're worth talking to.
I would TD you, just to get the sparks flying, but I have taken a policy against the thumbing of anyone in any direction. If I have nothing to add to the conversation, I just ignore it.
WHAT'S UP WTE?
Yeah, I am the same way. Hell I hardly ever TD roger because the thumbs are insignificant.
How you doing?
Well, been busy though. not a lot of time to keep up with the rantings on here. That isn't a bad thing really.
You've been watching, your thumb shows up when you view someone's comments. I've noticed you as one of the last five viewers.
Not on your profile. I occasionally visit the profiles of people that are capable of holding a civil debate just to see what the hot topic is for the day. I have noticed you've been trolling my profile on a regular bases, however.
I didn't say on my profile.
So, you admit you're lying and just want to say you weren't lying about my comments. How pagan of you.
You've been busy on pirates and comments from time to time on leftrightcenter. But you didn't say that did you? Were you just too busy reading numbers backwards?
Nothing I said was a lie, unlike you. You are the ever present stalker, terrified at the fact that not everyone's world revolves around what new and insidious lies you are spewing from your evil little basement in your mothers house.
And yes, I have been busy elsewhere. Where is really none of your business, but as a stalker you try so hard to make it your business. Too bad you were unable to taper down the vile spewing from your morbid pit, you might have been able to remain on the site. Alas, your utter immaturity has gotten you banned from many sites. I don't hold out hope that you will ever grow up or learn how to debate in a civil fashion, as the internal hatred and anger that you cultivate will always blind you to the truth. How very Fundamentalist Christian of you, or are you a Fundamentalist Muslim today, it is so hard to tell you types apart.
That was the best description of him yet,
Well done sir
Thank you. B)
Oh come now you little 'wee' thing. You do everything possible in your struggle to smear and spread hate. Your muslim friendly agenda isn't fooling anyone.
There take that you heathen
Back at ya!
Imagine that, muslims declare jihad and do all they can to destroy Israel and they fight to survive.
The nerve of those lousy Jews.
Your bigotry is showing.
This is reason why Mankind has to "deal with this satanic place" without mercy. These people will never change, so many satanists on key posts – If Israel strikes, Iran should really wipe off this part of ME…
And later Iran !!! should lead investigations into Israels destruction, claim how they were carefful and simply state that IDF soldiers hided behind ordinary people…Say how moral Iran army was …Reject Internacional condemnations as biast…Speak about just preventive war…Destroyed Israel use as collateral dammage…Say God instructed them…well all the usual bull…it from IDF manuals…. peter czech Ps. Without Israel World would declare Irans victory as most importent victory of mankinds history
Why such posturing for war by Israel is not strongly reprimanded, at least by the UN, is beyond reason? When billigerant countries become such a negative force against world peace, someone should stand up and say no. I say, build a 20 foot high fence around Israel on the 1967 borders by force, protect the world from their comings and goings for 50 years and assist the Palestinians in getting on with self determination, whatever that might lead to. And it doesn't have to be in the form of our modern Western democracy which has become excessively permissive and is not working.
Very well said JDonald
At least it is only 9 of the cuckoo birds…they promise unwavering support for any unlawful acts of aggression against Israel's enemy of the week, Iran…until unintended consequesnces brings down a hard rain of missile ordinance (one can only hope!) on top of their homes and loved ones.
On August 31, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an act prohibiting the export of U.S. arms to belligerents.
Makes you wonder why our Government continues to provide arms and support to Israel when the act signed by President Roosevelt clearly prohibits this.
Not only that, the Symington Amendment which banned U.S. economic, and military assistance, and export credits to countries that deliver or receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections is ignored by Congress.
If you don't understand why the answer is selective enforcement of the law is one of the hallmarks of a police state and a criminal government.
The reason there was only 9 that support an Israeli attack on Iran is that the rest want the US do attack Iran for them and do the bleeding and dying. Read what the other Israelis are saying, "Israel should not attack Iran ALONE.
Very good observation, there are no innocents in that nuthouse.
Everyone who signed that letter ought to prove their "total and unwavering support for any war against Iran" by taking a rifle, putting on a parachute, and climbing onto that transport to Iran.
"Undermining the war effort". That's the rhetoric of a nation already at war. I guess we can consider this a done deal.
