  1. you know who/ what this dramatic, manipulative narrative this reminds me of? Rabbi Eckstein. i wonder if Bibi and Rabbi Eckstein graduated from the same film/ cinematic arts school.

    this is pure consumption for the Evangelical, philo-semitic, consumer. it is the i read my bible in one hand and read up on beloved Bibi in the other end times drama to drum up support for political Israel, perfectly timed on the tail end of CUFI and Chosen People church/ Christian university campaigns.

  2. Yes, always consider the audience, including the USA’s the-Bible-is-inerrant (but never consider who translated it and who over many years has interpreted it — are they also inerrant?) pro-Israel-lets-bring-on-Armaggedon who-needs-this-world-anyway-Im-tired-of-it “Christians”.

    But perhaps there is a tad of truth in the idea of “the naked fear and paranoia beating inside the body of the Israeli ultra-nationalist Jew” is that anyone can see that the claims (territorial, anti-human-rights-ical) of the ultras run counter to the world’s expressed opinions so that an ultra can always fear that some day, one day, even some day soon, the weight of the world will drop on Israel and end these dreams. In that case, from their fears to G-d’s ears, but don’t hold your breath. The world has shown no tendency to put its money where its mouth is.

    1. I really think that the fear of comeuppance is the source of much of Israel’s policies and practices. I think this persuasive fear (not of nukes, but of having to account!) explains some of stupid and confused things the state does (and says), such as redoubling its caution (the airport fiasco), using more violence, not less, …these sorts of things reflect utter confusion and fear. They can’t imagine doing anything but what they have been doing, only more. It is hysteria. They know they will be “found out” but they just don’t know how or when. Imagine trying to function normally under such neurotic anxiety. The favorite defense of last resort, “anti-Semitism”, is a joke already.

        FROM WIKIPEDIA [Defence mechanism]:

        [excerpts] In Freudian psychoanalytic theory, defence mechanisms (or defense mechanisms) are unconscious[1] psychological strategies brought into play by various entities to cope with reality and to maintain self-image. Healthy persons normally use different defences throughout life. An ego defense mechanism becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behaviour such that the physical and/or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. The purpose of ego defence mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety and/or social sanctions and/or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope.[2] . . .
        . . .Vaillant’s categorization of defence mechanisms
        ♦ Level 1 – Pathological
        The mechanisms on this level, when predominating, almost always are severely pathological. These four defences, in conjunction, permit one to effectively rearrange external experiences to eliminate the need to cope with reality. The pathological users of these mechanisms frequently appear irrational or insane to others. These are the “psychotic” defences, common in overt psychosis. However, they are found in dreams and throughout childhood as well.
        They include:
        • Delusional Projection: Grossly frank delusions about external reality, usually of a persecutory nature. . .

  3. “Second, would Bibi have us believe that the commitment of Israelis to their homeland is so tenuous that the mere threat of a nuclear weapon would make them abandon it? ”

    This coming from the comfort of someone home located in lake Seattle is more then hypocritical. You stated many times that the fear of war is what makes you stay in Seattle and not immigrate to Israel. You you out of all people have no right to criticize other people motives.

    1. No, you’re wrong once again in characterizing my real views. It is not the “fear of war” which made me reject aliyah. It was my refusal to participate in Israel’s permanent war against its neighbors. If Israel was a state whose ideals & principles I agreed with I would live there regardless of whether any neighbor had a nuclear weapon.

      Sorry, but I have every right to criticize the policies of the state with which I disagree & to criticize you as well.

      1. I haven’t read your blog long enough, but why do you think Israel has a permanent war against its neighbors? Is it solely because they are an aggressive, paranoid country? Is it because some of Israel’s neighbors claim to want destroy the country? Some of both?

  4. Even though I detest Neyanyahoo and all that he stands for, I have to admire this unbelievably successful diversion campaign – the media focuses on his incessant BS about Iran’s nonexistent nuclear weapons program and Holocaust and not a word is spoken about settlements, the brutal maltreatment of the Palestinians or their striving for statehood.

    1. You hit the nail on its head, the whole Iran hoohaa is a diversion tactic to buy time (and free hand) on the Palestinian front.

    2. There is a diversion campaign, I agree, because Israels (!) real targets are Lebenanon and Syria. Stateless chaos there will be last opportunity to make room for the deportation of non-jewish West-Bank population and this is clearly the goal of settlement and oppressive occupational forces.

  5. For once, I believe Netanyahu. Israel is the only country in the world that has to pay it’s citizens to live there. Israeli Jews have foreign passports, dual citizenship, language skills, and access to kinship networks overseas. More to the point, they have a four thousand year tradition of bugging out when the going gets tough. I would not be surprised to see the Zionist dream end with a stampede to the airport, and it would not take much to start that stampede: an Iranian nuke, or a few Hezbollah rockets landing in Tel Aviv. The only surprise here is that Netanyahu was willing to say this in public. It’s the 800-pound gorilla that nobody in Israel is willing to talk about. Until now.

  6. RE: “. . .the implication is that the Iranians are wild-eyed Islamist fanatics prepared to immolate the world in a mushroom cloud for the greater glory of Allah, while Israel is the picture of a sensible, rational nation. . .” ~ R.S.

    MY COMMENT: Imagine having some Israeli like Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner (or even Avigdor Lieberman) with his finger on the Israel’s nuclear launch button!

    FROM WIKIPEDIA [Samson Option]:

    (excerpts) The Samson Option is a term used to describe Israel’s alleged deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence, and possibly against other targets as well.[1] . . .
    . . . Some have written about the “Samson Option” as a retaliation strategy. In 2002, the Los Angeles Times published an opinion piece by Louisiana State University professor David Perlmutter which has been seen as justifying a Samson Option approach.[19] He wrote:

    “Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow—it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Samson in Gaza? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. . .[20]

    . . . In 2003, Martin van Creveld [professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem – J.L.D.] thought that the Al-Aqsa Intifada then in progress threatened Israel’s existence.[21] 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. . . 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.”[22]

    Ron Rosenbaum writes in his 2012 book How the End Begins: The Road to a Nuclear World War III that in the “aftermath of a second Holocaust” Israel’s surviving Dophin-class nuclear missile submarines would retaliate not only against Israel’s attackers, but “bring down the pillars of the world (attack Moscow and European capitals for instance)” as well as the “holy places of Islam.” He writes that “abandonment of proportionality is the essence” of the Samson Option.[23] . . .

  7. RE: “If…anyone wishes to argue that Bibi does believe his words then both you and he and in deep trouble.” ~ R.S.

    I.F. STONE (1967): “All governments lie, but disaster lies in wait for countries whose officials smoke the same hashish they give out. ~ from In a Time of Torment, 1961-1967 (1967), p. 317

  8. Since Bibi has shot his syphilitic, lipped mouth off, its a fair guess the fears the prevaricator is summoning are bullshit. If such were true the fool would never utter them.

    What he refuses to acknowledge is a peaceful solution to the I/P question by endorsing a sovereign, Palestinian state, which in failing to accomplish will result in one state (if not already) with a mass out-Aliyah endgame of fleeing Israelis.

    Israel cannot remain a Jewish theocratic, fascist, apartheid regime forever. Ultimately, the slaves will do more than just throw stones or rockets, they’ll demand their civil rights and liberties. A phenomenon now developing among Palestinians on the W/B, Gaza and within the Green Line.

    The horror ripping apart the minds of Israeli’s aren’t Iranian nukes. Its the thought of the oppressed evening up the score. Jefferson summarized slavery;

    “…we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go…”

    And fearful of the vengeance of Providence exclaimed:

    “I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

    You would think Zionists would know their theology inside out, that their own religious books have their God severely crushing them several times over for their barbarisms and murderous behavior against the weak, orphans, widows and strangers among them. According to their own beliefs another holocaustal reckoning is coming if they don’t change their bestial ways.
