ISRAEL’S OPTIONS
So, does Israel continue to stay on the defense?
I would be willing to bet they do not.
The question becomes what can they do?
For months now, I have talked about the Iranians needing a distraction from
the Arab Spring and the crisis in Syria.
It's clear, to most, the Palestinian issue has become the centerpiece of the
Iranian distraction plan.
If anyone understands this and understands what it might lead to, it's
Israel!
As I alluded to yesterday, it is unrealistic to think Israel would not come
up with its own option of a " Distraction Plan".
As I was listening to Netanyahu give his speech, I thought, at least for a
moment, I figured out the 'Israeli Distraction Plan'.
Iran's nuclear weapons program!
Netanyahu's statement about what Iran was really trying to achieve should not
have gone unnoticed in the room.
I still have the opinion the Iranian " Master Plan", before the Arab Spring
began, was to delay the world's actions just long enough to achieve nuclear
weapons status; a status Israel will NEVER allow to happen.
The Arab Spring knocked Iran off of their course to nuclear recognition and
the Syrian event put them completely on the Defense.
Two things had to happen for Iran to achieve the Master Plan.
1. They had to have a distraction so huge the Arab Spring could not
come to Iranian land.
2. Assad had to find a way to survive, at least for the near term.
So what is Israel possibly trying to do?
Simple, put the Iranian nuclear threat issue back on the table for all the
world to see.
As important as the Palestinian statehood issue is, the fear of a war in the
Middle East based upon Iran's nuclear program is a far greater concern.
Making this the defining issue is a risk the Israelis just may be willing to
take.
Brinkmanship!
It is not a historical term limited to the US and Russian past.
I'm not sold this is the course Israel will take, but it is an option that
must be left on the table.
How bad the Palestinian issue becomes will decide Israel's next move.
Are there any other options for Israel?
Yes!
What is the issue Iran is trying to avoid?
Syria and the Arab Spring.
It is easily within Israel's capability to "support" the resistance in Syria
without getting their fingerprints on the event.
I would not be surprised if this was taking place as I type this.
Arms Merchants are a strange and mysterious tool in the hands of many
governments. ( Wink..Wink... Nod.. Nod.. )
When was the last time Israel really concerned itself over a Sunni / Shi
fight? ( Win ..Win in their book)
What is going to take place is extremely hard to predict.
Who are the major players other than the Palestinians, Israelis and the
Iranians?
Egypt, Turkey, Saudi, Russia, the US ect...ect...
One thing I am confident of, Israel is not going to wait to see what becomes
of this event.
They know who is behind the real danger and they will not stay on the
Defense much longer.
It's not their nature.
