Everyone and their brother is wringing hands over the Israel-Iran showdown. Increasingly, folks speculate about what Israel will do to stop Iran's nuclear program, which, as we all know, is about obtaining nuclear weapons—not for energy purposes.
Iran, as an Islamic "republic," insists its nuclear program is all about generating electricity for its citizens. That is an obvious lie, as the Iranians have promoted murder and terrorism for 30 years, since the Shah was expelled.
The last time an Islamic-based country threatened Israel with nukes, the Jewish state courageously sent a bomber group to take out Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor at Osirik.
(By the way, the U.S. not only condemned that action, but the Reagan-led White House also later recognized the PLO, and pulled out of Lebanon after 242 Marines were murdered by Hezbollah in 1983. Do we really think "conservative" U.S. presidents are that much better in dealing with the Israeli-Arab crisis than their Democrat counterparts?)
It was almost amusing the other week to hear of a "three-day deadline," in which it was speculated that Israel would hit Iran by the weekend.
If you remember nothing else, remember that the Israelis always use the element of surprise, and dramatic surprise at that. They are not on the world's timetable in any way at all, and Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition will act and/or strike Iran when it suits them. If I am certain of one thing, it is that the Israelis are a couple steps ahead of the international community.
Israel will not be destroyed; that is a biblical statement rooted in reality. How they go about eliminating the latest Haman is up to them...and cloaked in the shadow of surprise.
