The Death
Of Israel

From Caroline Glick,
deputy editor and op-ed
writer for the Jerusalem Post,
comes alarming news.
An expert on Arab-Israeli
relations with excellent sources
deep inside Netanyahu’s
government,
she reports that CIA chief
Leon Panetta recently took
time out from his day job
(feuding with Nancy Pelosi)
to travel to Israel to
“read the riot act” to the
government warning against
an attack on Iran.
More ominously,
Glick reports
(likely from sources high up
in the Israeli government)
that the Obama administration
has all but accepted as irreversible
and unavoidable fact that Iran will
soon develop nuclear weapons.
She writes,
“…we have learned that the
[Obama] administration has
made its peace with Iran’s nuclear
aspirations. Senior administration
officials acknowledge as much in
off-record briefings.
It is true, they say,
that Iran may exploit its future
talks with the US to run down
the clock before they test
a nuclear weapon.
But, they add,
if that happens,
the U.S. will simply have to live
with a nuclear-armed
mullocracy.”
She goes on to write that the
Obama administration is desperate
to stop Israel from attacking Iran
writing that “as far as the Obama]
administration is concerned,
if Israel could just leave Iran’s
nuclear installations alone,
Iran would behave itself.”
She notes that American officials
would regard any harm to American
interests that flowed from an Israeli
attack on Iranian nuclear facilities
as Israel’s doing,
not Iran’s.
In classic Stockholm
Syndrome fashion,
the Obama administration is
empathizing more with the
Iranian leaders who are holding
Israel hostage than with the
nation that may be wiped off the
map if Iran acquires the bomb.
Obama’s end-of-the-year deadline
for Iranian talks aimed at stopping
its progress toward nuclear
weapons is just window dressing
without the threat
of military action.
As Metternich wrote,
“diplomacy without force is
like music without instruments.”
By warning only of possible
strengthening of economic
sanctions if the talks do not
progress,
Obama is making
an empty threat.
The sanctions will likely have
no effect because Russia and
China will not let the United
Nations act as it must if it is
to deter Iranian nuclear weapons.
All this means is that
Israel’s life is in danger.
If Iran gets the bomb,
it will use it to kill
six million Jews.
No threat of retaliation will
make the slightest difference.
One cannot deter
a suicide bomber with
the threat of death.
Nor can one deter a theocracy
bent on meriting admission to
heaven and its virgins by one
glorious act of violence.
Iran would probably not
launch the bomb itself,
anyway,
but would give it to its puppet
terrorists to send to Israel so it
could deny responsibility.
Obama,
bent on appeasement,
would likely not retaliate
with nuclear weapons.
And Israel will be
dead and gone.
Those sunshine Jewish patriots
who voted for Obama must
realize that we, as Jews,
are witnessing the possible
end of Israel.
We are in the same moral position
as our ancestors were as they
watched Hitler’s rise but did
nothing to pressure their favorite
liberal Democratic president,
FDR,
to take any real action to save
them or even to let Jewish
refugees into the country.
If we remain complacent,
we will have the same anguish
at watching the destruction
of Israel that our forebears
had in witnessing the Holocaust.
Because one thing
is increasingly clear:
Barack Obama is not about
to lift a finger to stop Iran
from developing the bomb.
And neither
is Hillary Clinton.
Obama may have held
the first White House seder,
but he’s not planning to
spend next year in Jerusalem.
