Israel's "Samson Option"

... "We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under."

Canada, as represented by the Harper eschatological "Christians", blindly supports the most dangerous country in the world - Israel.

Everything being said about Iran is a projection of the true nature of its enemies. Somewhere there must be hidden away from view a mouldy, ragged, maggot-infested portrait of Iran's detractors, while they present themselves to the world as well-dressed, impeccably coifed, charming and reasonable human beings.

I have to talk about this because on the same page as the following article there is a video of Obama singing like Al Green, and he is so-o-o cute - on the outside.

EU set to turn screws on Iran

THE European Union is preparing to launch an unprecedented attack on Iran's economy at a moment when experts believe the confrontation over the country's nuclear ambitions is entering a dangerous new phase.

Maybe it doesn't mean to, but this article points out the absolute injustice, ludicracy and hidden motives of the confrontation with Iran. For the West, it's oil and a pathway to China and Russia, and for Israel it's the subjugation of Islamists who don't seem to recognize their perceived inferior, yea even primitive status.

Let's take it paragraph by paragraph:

Officials note that a series of events - ranging from the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran to the regime's threats to disrupt oil supplies in the Gulf - prove that Iranian decision-making is becoming more belligerent and unpredictable.

It's always unnamed "officials" managing our perceptions these days. These ones reveal that although Britain is making vague but dire threats, Iran is the country we are expected to believe is "belligerent" and "unpredictable".

Meanwhile, Greece, Italy and Spain can just make "alternative arrangements" and what happens if the British embassies end up being stormed there as well? These could be genuine civilian protests, not false flag ones carried out by infiltrators as I'm certain happened in Iran.

Iran should be able to find other customers, notably India and China, but officials expect them to drive a hard bargain and insist on lower prices, costing Iran billions of dollars.

Has China whispered to these "officials" that it will help out where it can in this endeavour? I can see India - a nuclear power we don't worry about because they've been bought with jobs that used to belong to North Americans - helping to turn the screws. But is China so worried about trade relations with the West that it would help do in an ally?

If China decides to play fair with Iran, will that be the opening to justify hostilities with China, and by extension Russia? Because remember there's oil under all that melting ice in the Arctic, and that's why we hear Harper and Petie MacKay badmouthing Russia from time to time, and trotting up north occasionally to pee on the threshold.

Makes you wonder if it's really "global warming" melting the ice, doesn't it, or maybe something else?)

The oil sanctions are likely to be balanced with an offer to negotiate. But because of the consequences for its economy, Iran may ignore any conciliatory gesture and view the step as an escalation, possibly even a precursor to war.

Bad Iran for thinking this is an escalation and a precursor to war. But who would be so stupid as to think otherwise? And who in their right minds would see "an offer to negotiate" as "conciliatory" given its true nature as an either/or ultimatum?

Nobody wants Iran to negotiate. They want Iran to make some kind of rash move (remember the word "unpredictable" above?) that will justify a war that's been in the works since as least 2003 when Iraq was taken down - and for the same phony reasons.

This is already happening even though (or maybe because?) Israel is smarting from steadily increasing condemnation for its unilateral actions, including its covert war in Iran - despite that US and Israeli named officials have stated Iran does not have nukes, nor will they have nukes even close to imminently.

Israel, Pakistan and India have 'em, though. Of course Iran wants them because considering what's pointed at them, they think it would make them feel safer. But Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty! And who never did? Israel, Pakistan and India. Facts about the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) - PDF file.

Even a named British official says Iran is not intending to build a nuclear bomb:

''Iran is looking for a latent nuclear weapons potential or capability and not for nuclear bombs,'' said Peter Jenkins, Britain's permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency between 2001 and 2006. That would put it in the same category as Japan and Germany, which have the technology to make nuclear weapons.

See that? In "the same category as Japan and Germany". But those countries are not sanctioned. And given the bizarre beliefs of a high percentage of Westerners who think Jesus is on his way back to earth any time now to waft them up and away from the mess they've helped create, it's even more bizzare and schizoid to characterize Iran as being run by "primitive religious fanatics".

The final paragraph reveals that Israel is more belligerent and unpredictable than Iran has managed to be so far. I'm convinced now that Israel really is the most dangerous country in the world:

The US military's top official held talks on Friday with Israeli leaders to try to co-ordinate responses to Iran's nuclear program. US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Martin Dempsey, before talks with Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak, appeared to reflect concern about possible Israeli plans to move independently to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.

Added to all of Israel's self-made problems is the looming popularity of a one-state solution. How desperate will its hawks become?

The Samson Option:
In 2003, Martin van Creveld, a professor of military history at Israel’s Hebrew University, thought that the Al-Aqsa Intifada then in progress threatened Israel's existence. Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's "The Gun and the Olive Branch" (2003) as saying:

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.

Samson was the very first suicide bomber. And they think Islamists are fanatically dangerous?
