For Netanyahu, Gaza escalation could pave the way to Iran strike

Prime Minister Netanyahu, give the people of Gaza a lasting peace. Show them that a true leader is one who cares. Madge Cometa 2bes2 University of Santo Tomas madge_eileen@yahoo.com

I don't understand this Internet Anyahu stuff.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY.......

It is unlikely that Israel would attack Iran alone. Netanyahu as usual depends on the U.S. to make such an attack a success and this means full U.S. participation which is unlikely when the U.S. takes into consideration the potential fallout in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. Also the U.S. has to worry about consequential uprisings in Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries should the U.S. engage with Israel in an attack on Iran. Then there is the wider perspective involving Russia, India, and China. The latter nations have a large stake in the ME and would not take kindly an attack on Iran. There are too many unknowns arising from such an attack. Israel will not attack Iran alone---Iran is not Gaza where those opposing Israel have anything more than peashooters.

If it's to make sure that the situation vis-a-vis Gaza isn't a smoke screen for a surprise attack, then fair enough, because as horrendous as that situation is, an attack on Iran would be disastrous not for hundreds of thousands but for millions.

Israel doesn't have the courage to attack iran or they would have done it already. Israel knows only to attack people that have no way of defense other than rocks and sling shots. Cowards

Why can't we all live together peacefully?

"This situation is fraught with implications - for example, the possibility that Israel will devise a new policy vis-a-vis the positive, more moderate half of the Palestinian arena, namely the Palestinian Authority, under Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayyad, in the West Bank. Up to now there has been no sign of such a move; perhaps it will come after the elections in January." And what policies should that be? Come on, surprise us, speak it out. O.k. even Begin made Peace with Egypt, but who is Abbas in the eyes of our arrogant PM?, Mahmut without Land. Even when he makes peace, than just under demeaning conditions. However. There is not the slightest whiff of hope or trust among the people on this earth that Benjamin Netanyahu will change something for the better.

do not let them sleep the night is yours

Opinios in Israel abt. striking the nuclear sites in Iran are divided. 50% think it may be a mistake to hit them and the other 50% think that it may be a mistake not to hit them. According to the situation in Gaza, it seems that it was a mistake to wait so long to hit them hard.

hit hard where it hurts-the money!

Egypt could also be dragged into this conflict, and that would really lead to a BIG war.

I hope that's all it is, just a dream of attacking Iran. Mr Netanyahu dreams often lead to nightmares.
