Kicking off the last Knesset session before it was dissolved today to set the stage for a new election, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was campaigning on his pet issue of war with Iran, insisting he had added major new “capabilities to act against Iran” to Israel’s arsenal during his current term in office.
Early polls show a massive lead for Netanyahu’s Likud Party, and he sought to center the campaign on the issue of him versus parties that are less hawkish, insisting anyone who doesn’t believe Iran is the greatest threat ever is “not worthy of leading Israel for even one day.”
Though Netanyahu has insisted that his decision to disband the government was aimed at the inability to agree on a budget, many also see the move as an effort to shore up the far-right coalition’s hawkish elements ahead of a war which he now says is likely to come in the spring.
Top Labor Party official and current Israeli President Shimon Peres also insisted that Iran is a “threat to the entire world,” though the party’s current leadership, including Shelly Yachimovich, have been extremely critical of Netanyahu’s hawkish position on Iran.
NUT NAHU is mentally deranged. people should not vote for him this war monger is no good for israel and rest of world , which is tired of wars united staes of aburdistan ie u.sa and israel who do not follow international laws. rajel cnada
Ideally they'll be caught-in-the-act of an attack as Dimona is rendered useless; poetic justice. I have no confidence that they'd prevent that scenario; good chance this is another bluff.
There is a threat to the entire world. It is Netanyahu.
The world cannot afford to leave a crazy man in charge of a country with nuclear weapons. What's needed is regime change in Israel.
Benny the Bruiser is big on threats and small on brain. He's like a yapping lapdog, the kind that bites when you're not looking.
Of course, he is backed up by the Great Dane of world politics, one that is clearly retarded.
If there is a spaceship going to outer space, save me a seat, please. I want to get away from this madness!

oh my god IRAN is going to blow up the whole world ……you cant help but laugh at these israelis so desperate to bring down IRAN
If Mr. Netanyahoo has huge support, what does it say about the average Israeli?
Just a raving loony
Funny how Israel’s problems are always the world’s problems too.. according to Israelis.
what and idiot you have to be to say that "iran is a threat to entire world". those are the lies coming from a lying demon.
If, as Bibi says, they can deal with the Iranian "threat"…why is he always demanding (begging) that Obama do the dirty deed for the poor, defenseless Israelis? Did he forget to mention that all these "major new capabilities" HE'S added to Israel's arsenal most likely came from the US government (Obama) and at a drastic reduced market price.
So, since Israel can deal with Iran, they don't need the US anywhere in the region, right? Cool, we can pack our stuff and bring the ships and troops home right away.
But, someone tell me again, when did Iran threaten Israel? I mean, other than saying it will defend itself if Israel attacks?
You're so right on this issue, John. NUTTYAHOO says Israel can "deal" with Iran without any help; then, he doesn't need the US anywhere in the Mideast. Let's pack up and bring all the ships and troops home now.
It's ISRAEL that's been threatening Iran with total destruction. All that Iran's been saying in response is that if attacked, it will defend itself. Any nation so threatened would respond this way. NUTTYAHOO is a ranting, raving PSYCHO. He belongs in an insane asylum; not in any public office. He's the one who has threatened the entire world with the so-called "Samson Option"; no Iranian leader has.
The only problem with the USA (& NATO) vacating the Middle East is that of the USA's not-so-secret defense treaty with Saudi Arabia. We protect their oil fields from any enemy in exchange for the KSA to continue to prop up the PetroDollar. Support of Israel is merely icing on the cake, for the international bankster cabal.
Saddam wanted to switch from the petrodollar to the Euro — he's now gone. Khaddafi wanted to switch all North Africa to trading in the Gold Dinar — he's now gone. Iran has been forced through sanctions to trade their oil for gold, with China, India, & others. Almadinegad is now in the USA/NATO cross-hairs, with Syria first as Iran's primary ally.
The EU and the Euro would have already collapsed without petrodollar infusions from the Federal Reserve, also owned by the international bankster cabal. The banksters biggest weapon has been the fake vastly over-sold derivatives market — their Weapon of Monetary Destruction. The bankster gambling debt has auto-magically been turned into national sovereign debt.
They sure can handle the 'threat' – by whining, stamping their feet, giving everyone the death ray stare. We are SO impressed.
