Haaretz Staff: Netanyahu: If Israel doesn't take out Iranian threat, no one will
Talkback
Title: Yep, gotta agree with that opening statement Name: Johnboy City: Sydney State: Australia
"If Israel does not eliminate the Iranian threat, no one will, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday" That is true enough: nobody else seems interested in whacking Iran to pander to Israeli paranoia. So if you want Iran whacked then you have to do it yourself - and face the consequences yourself. " `Israel is not like other countries,` Netanyahu told his Likud faction" Two for two, Bibi. Unlike other countries Israel believes in the idea that because you WANT to attack another country then you are ENTITLED to attack them. A very popular concept in the 1930`s, I believe, but rather out of fashion nowadays.... Iran`s military is a potent threat to you. Iran doesn`t LIKE you. Iran taunts you. Iran frightens you. No question about any of that, but that is true of, say, India/Pakistan, USA/Russia, Nth/Sth Korea. Iran hasn`t DONE anything to you, and until they do then you aren`t entitled to do anything to them.
