Israel Is ’Playing With the Fires of Hell,’ Writes Israeli Journalist
7 November 2011
"Israel is playing with the fires of hell," in planning war against Iran, writes Gideon Levy, one of Israel’s leading journalists, in Ha’aretz today. Levy’s op-ed, featured on the Ha’aretz home page, says "Insanity, not logic, guides Israel’s leadership," and "The men’s men who are threatening Iran now are the real cowards’ cowards. The brave ones are in fact those who are trying to thwart the insanity, from former Mossad chief Meir Dagan to Interior Minister Eli Yishai." "The danger of Iran using a nuclear weapon is nil, and yet Israel is playing with the fires of hell. Israelis, in fact, are saying they prefer a barrage of thousands of missiles — which will bring blood and destruction now — to the future imaginary risk of the suicidal weapon by ’crazy’ Iran; that they prefer system-wide insanity, with clear threats and open preparations for what could become an Israeli suicide mission." Not only is the Netanyahu government insane about Iran, but also on every other foreign policy and security matter, Levy writes, listing: "continued construction in the territories.... the war that the government of Israel has declared on the Palestinian Authority, without considering what will come instead ..... continuing to imprison Marwan Barghouti.... Operation Cast Lead, which damaged Israel much more than it benefited it...." Opposition continues to grow inside Israel against British puppet Netanyahu’s insanity that threatens to destroy Israel for the British Empire masters. Knesset member Gen. Shaul Mofaz, the former head of the Israeli Defense Forces has denounced the actions by Bibi’s cabinet to go for war against Iran. Likud hawks Benny Begin (son of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin) and Dan Meridor, are supporting the statements by the likes of Dagan, former IDF head Gabi Ashkenazy, former Shin Beth chief Yuval Diskin, and others, reports David Remnick in the New Yorker, Nov. 6. |
