Iran Israel and the Bomb

As the new Israeli Government is about form many around the world have raised eyebrows over the coalition that Benjamin Netanyahu has formed. It is completely unbelievable that at the last minute the leftist Labor government decided to join a mostly hawkish right wing party. What makes this even more bizarre is that the centrist Kadimah party refused entry into the government based allegedly on Netanyahu’s extreme right wing views. Labors position should have been naturally to the left of the centrist Kadimah party but instead it sees itself in the right wing government of Netanyahu.

Why?

Under normal conditions all this would not of happened, but these are not normal conditions. By all estimates Israel is preparing for worst case scenario as far as Iran is concerned. The head of the Labor party who happens to be Israel’s defense minister is considered by some as the best candidate to plan the preemptive attack on Iran. This is the only real reason for this bizarre political marriage between the right and the left.

The decision by the Israeli government to attack Iran will be the most important decision Israel will make since the preemptive strike of the Israeli Army that started the six-day war. It may be even more important. Iran would take notice of this very clear political union that is based almost completely on the Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Israel is getting ready to strike as sanctions on Iran do not seem to be actually slowing down its nuclear program.

Iran should understand in no uncertain terms that the world or Israel will not let the Islamic republic go nuclear.

Whatever the repercussions and they may be considerable a nuclear weapon in the hands of a fundamentalist Moslem state is inconceivable.

It won’t happen.
