Israel to attack Iran by Christmas – report

http://rt.com/news/israel-attack-iran-report-981/

 

The British media say Israel may launch an aerial strike on Iranian nuclear facilities as early as next month. The offensive will receive support from the US, the speculation goes.

 

The attack is meant to decapitate Iran’s nuclear program, which a recent report by the UN atomic watchdog said may have a military component.

 

The Daily Mail cites British government sources as saying that the cabinet expects Israel to attack Iran “sooner rather than later.”

 

“We’re expecting something as early as Christmas, or very early in the New Year,” a Foreign Office source is cited as saying

 

The operation will receive logistical support from the United States, the newspaper reports. US President Barack Obama will allegedly have to back Israel to secure Jewish-Americans’ votes for the upcoming presidential election.

 

Earlier, the Guardian newspaper reported that the Ministry of Defense is drawing up contingency plans for Britain’s participation in a joint military operation against Iran. The report said such an attack would be carried out by Israel and probably the US after the presidential election in America.

 

The Daily Mail cites its sources as saying that Whitehall currently rules out Britain’s direct involvement in an attack on Iran.

 

The International Atomic Energy Agency released a report on Wednesday which included allegations that Iran had been developing technology related to nuclear weapons before 2003 and may still be doing so.

 

Tehran called the accusations politically motivated and based on lies. It refused to step back from its nuclear program, which it insists is purely civilian in nature.

 

A number of international players called for further sanctions against Iran following the report – both through the UN Security Council and at national level.

 

Speculation that Israel is preparing to attack Iranian nuclear sites surged in the media shortly before the IAEA report was released, as the allegations contained in it had been leaked in advance. Officially, Israel has neither confirmed nor denied such plans, but said military action against Iran is on the table and is more likely in the wake of the report.

 

Iran said it would retaliate if attacked and named Israeli nuclear facilities among the possible targets

The Zionists and their lackeys in Washington are at it again... U$rael on a war footing.... Does Iran have a nuclear weapons programme..? I dont know, and frankly I dont care.. What I DO know is that Israel most certainly has nukes.. Gifted to them by their chums in Washington.. Illegally I might add, going against the Nuclear Weapons Proliferation Treaty... I'm so sick of the hypocrisy that's being displayed here, and even supposing IF Iran was developing a nuclear deterrent, there are almost certainly entirely rational reasons for them to do so, not the least being that it would actually bring a "balance of power" to the region, because at the moment you have one basically de facto "super-power" who get away with murder. Literally....

 

And what do these idiots think will happen to Iran, and the region as a whole, if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear installations with missiles....? Madness... Utter madness..

 

But, what are we to expect from U$rael...? When O-bomber was elected, he talked about "change". Yeah, "change".. Whatever... We've already had one dodgy war in Libya, and looks like an even dodgier one about to kick off in Iran... Yeah, that's a "change" from Afghanistan and Iraq, I must say....

 

O-Bomber wants the Jews to vote for him in 2012...? Clearly he's not concerned about losing the Muslim vote then... -_-

Whether or not Obama's potential Muslim vote is higher than his Jewish one, rather depressingly he literally cannot afford to lose the latter. Money still rules the world, which is a horrifying notion.

I was being somewhat facetious with that parting shot, I have to confess. Money is probably a part of it, but one of the most frightening things is the way that the American Christian Far Right is basically teaming up with the Israeli extremists... Seems like they really want a "Clash of Civilisations".... :mellow:

Is this anti-semitic world? Not all jews control the world's wealth, or anywhere near that. Conspiracies...

Oh, had to happen I suppose... At least ONE person who thinks that a criticism of the blessed "U$-reali" state = hatred of every single Jewish person in the world.... :rolleyes:

 

Oh, and a newsflash for ya - the Palestinians are "semitic people" too, and I'm very much Pro Palestinian State.... -_-

Never, EVER mistake criticism of Political Zionism (which is what this is) for Anti-Semitism.. It just makes you look ill-informed..

 

This thread wasn't about implying that Jews controlled all the wealth in the world, It was however about implying a fact - that the Israeli Lobby is an incredibly powerful source in American politics which wields a hell of a lot of influence...

 

Perhaps you should read "The Isreali Lobby" by renowned International Relations theorists called John Mearscheimer and Stephen Walt who have actually investigated and studied this stuff at length.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mearsheimer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Walt

 

I'm frankly sick of all this hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over what Israel is getting up to.. They are a f***ing ROGUE STATE and if any other state were to do the sh"t that Israel is doing they would be subject to sanctions, embargos, UN resolutions and possibly even air strikes and regime change by now... Why does the US, UK, etc let Israel continually get away with this shit....? THAT is the question you should be asking yourself instead of levelling incredibly ill-advised, innaccurate and foolish accusations of "anti-semitism" around.....

 

And also dont make the mistake of thinking that every Jewish person in the world has any particular love for Isreal.. I know plenty who hate everything the Zionist State (their words, because they dont recognise it as "Jewish" at all) stands for even more than I do, and that the Zionists (who are nothing more than dogmatic, un-reconstructed Imperialists and racists who actually really believe that they are "god's chosen" - sounds a bit like claiming to be "the Master Race" to me - and that this actually rationalises the shit they do, not only to the Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza, but check out their plans for 30,000 Bedouin peoples in the Negev whom they plan to *cough* Ethnically Cleanse *cough*, err, sorry, I meant to say "re-locate") who basically betrayed the real Jewish values (which they have, by the way)... But someone like you who's fallen for all the pro-Israel guff would probably just call them "self-hating Jews" I suppose.... -_-

:rolleyes: Who cares what either of them get up to? Let them blow each other up and do it quietly I say.

Everyone in the Middle East, quite a lot of rich Americans as well.

 

 

We should care because nuclear fall out has the potential to cause major problems for Europe and if we are talking a large scale nuclear battle then that has a very real chance of directly affecting us with radiation or indirectly through a nuclear winter and then a Ozone hole about the size of the entire globe.

 

If they blow each other up, it's going to be very noisy and very damaging for the entire world.

Thanks for replying to that unbelievably silly comment above by "Thom Robb" Silas, I honestly couldn't work up the effort last night to point out how completely wrong the poster was..... :lol:

 

Well isn't this a friendly forum :rolleyes:

Make some points that are well-constructed/researched and you might be given an easier time.

Well isn't this a friendly forum :rolleyes:

Well, aren't you a troll. :rolleyes:

Well isn't this a friendly forum :rolleyes:

I thought I was being friendly! No swearing and no insults!!! All I did was put forward an argument as to why we should care. The whole concept of a forum is discussion and debate, in this forum more so than others you really need to be ready to defend your opinion with evidence, the occasional source (RussiaToday if you're Grimly) and some actual knowledge of the issues at hand.

 

 

Posting in this forum is simple, you just have to know what you are talking about and be prepared to engage in a debate.

Wasting your time Silas, I fear.. I've read a few other posts by this "Thom Robb" person on other forums... In the FIFA thread on sports forum he made some glib comment about "typical French", so got a feeling we may have another Crazy Chris....

 

And, OI, you, I dont always post from RT at all. I've posted from The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and occasionally Al Jazeera as well as other sources.... I've switched to RT from the BBC because I'm frankly sick of the BBC.... Funny how no one made jokes about me "working as promoter" for the Beeb when I used to put up their stuff half the time.... :P :lol: :lol:

At least Chris is too lazy to post here more often than once or twice a day and go on f***ING EDL MARCHES. Sorry, just had to reiterate that point.

Oh great, Thom Robb's a fecking EDL-er..... Oh, we'll make him nice and welcome here... Well, about as much as a meeting at the Simon Wiesentahl centre would make Adolf Hitler feel at home...... :lol:

Everyone uses the BBC though, only you seem to use RT! :P I get most of my information from the Independent via the i. Easily the best journalistic move in quite some time.

I know, so boring and obvious.. Another reason why I switched to RT.... :lol: :lol:

 

Might I just say how disgusting you all are :angry: Are only namby pamby lefties allowed on this forum or something? I thought this was a debate forum, at least allow both sides??? :rolleyes:

That was uncalled for... I'm hurt now :cry:

 

Tbh if there wasn't some debate then this forum would just be a collection of ranting Grimly topics with no replies, the fact that it isn't like that shows that we have debates which don't need to involve a lunatic like yourself. People like Gezza, who have a right-wing (although relatively moderate) opinion make the forum interesting because they back up their points and are willing to engage in an active debate.

 

I've also found that the complaint "you're all lefties, there's no debate here" is usually used by a right-winger who's sore they got shot down for having no logic to their arguments.
