Sky News Reports Israel Preparing For Preemptive Strike On Iran

Tyler Durden's picture




First Fukushima made a repeat appearance last night with news of a repeat fission incident, a topic which has gotten absolutely zero media coverage as discussing beta, let alone gamma decay, is considered uncouth in refined society; now it is time for the fallback geopolitical hotbed to enter the stage. Sky News has reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally support in his cabinet for an attack on Iran, according to government sources. "The country's defence minister Ehud Barak and the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman are said to be among those backing a pre-emptive strike to neutralise Iran's nuclear ambitions. But a narrow majority of ministers currently oppose the move, which could trigger a wave of regional retaliation. The debate over possible Israeli military action has reached fever pitch in recent days with newspaper leader columns discussing the benefits and dangers of hitting Iran. Mr Lieberman responded to the reports of a push to gain cabinet approval by saying that "Iran poses the most dangerous threat to world order." But he said Israel's military options should not be a matter for public discussion." Which makes one wonder: why is Sky News reporting on this, and why is it a matter for public discussion?

More from Sky:

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is due to report on the state of Iran’s nuclear capabilities on November 8, and that assessment is likely to influence Israel’s decision.

 

Western intelligence officials estimate that Iran is still at least two to three years away from obtaining a nuclear bomb.

 

Israel has long made it clear that it will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear capability that could threaten the Jewish State.

 

Publicly it is pushing for a diplomatic offensive against Iran - including the imposition of sanctions - rather than a military strike.

 

But prime minister Netanyahu has repeatedly warned that all options are on the table.

 

Israel's former defence minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer told Haraatez newspaper that he feared a "horror scenario" if Israel attacked Iran.

 

Washington is also strongly opposed to Israel taking unilateral action.

 

Any strike on Iran could trigger retaliation from Iran and across the region.

 

Syria, a close ally of Tehran, could also launch attacks, along with the Iranian-backed Hizbollah militia in Lebanon.

All of this will surely end well if enacted. In the meantime, we present our favorite weekly chart update which we don't show nearly enough.

It's well established the Rabbis, even to this day, state that the Jews killed by the Third Reich got what they deserved for disobeying and turning away from the Rabbis.  An interesting twist: While Rabbi-sycophant John McCain ran for president last time, he was condemned for hooking up with Zionist Churchian John Hagee.  How'd McCain divorce Hagee?  McCain's campaign condemed Hagee for saying exactly what the Rabbis say all the time: g_d bless Hitler for killing the Jews who disobyed the Rabbis!  It's OK when they say it, you know, like when blacks use the N word.   

Upon order of their Rabbi masters, the 1st Session of the 102nd US Congress passed Public Law 102-14 in 1991.  This law accords "...official recognition of the Federal government's legal oblication 'to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws'...Stupid, naive goyim are not told that in order to faithfully adhere to the so-called Seven Laws of Noah, 'righteous gentiles' are obligated to submit to rabbinic interpretations of those laws.  The Talmud commands the death penalty for idolatry.  Since Rabbi Maimonides ruled that Christians are idolaters, US law laid the groudwork for the execution at some future date (when the Rabbis have complete control) of authentic Christians.

No words (except for maybe some Yiddish) can accurately describe the extent to which goyim are suckered by the philosophy of the Rabbis.

You seem to be flying off on some weird tangent!!

The only thing that Public Law 102-14 of the US Congress resolved was that one of the 365 days in the year 1991 be declared as "Education Day, U.S.A."!!!

Here is the full resolution (from here):

"Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education Day, U.S.A. '. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities."

"Approved March 20, 1991. Signed by George Bush, President of the United States of America"

Some goys are obviously more easily suckered than others!! ;)

Obfuscation, lying, denial, and edited/censored text are prime ingredients of "Rabbinical Talmudism", which your post promotes.  See this link:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c102:H.J.RES.104.ENR:

Your edited version omits the 2nd line from above:

"...Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws..."

Again: The Rabbis can and do, at their whim, interpret the "Seven Noahide Laws" to mean whatever they want whenever they want.  Now, while the Rabbis lack total control (though they gain in power daily), they do not line up Christians and kill them for idolatry. 

But Rabbi Maimonedes indeed labels Christianty as idol worship.  So indeed, when their power is fully realized, the above law could and will be enforced and Christians will be slaughtered wholesale, same as Arab-Islam is now.

"Futurism" is the Zionist-quasi-Chrisitan false belief that Jesus returns in the future in Jerusalem.  False/marginal Chrisitans wrongly believe that "physical Israel" still exists.  The truth is since 70AD there is no physical Israel from a Biblical viewpoint.  So faith in a physical Israel is the true Christian idolatry.  The belief in a "chosen race", saved by race (not grace) is the true idolatry promoted by every single Rabbi, no matter how big the smile on his face.

It's bowl shit. If Israel is going to do something it does it first then stays silent afterwards. The fact that there are leaks and public discussion leads me to believe they don't have the capability or know that it will cause a shitstorm that they may not be able to deal with after the strike is done.

Or better yet.... the US has told them their planes might get shot out of the sky if the try anything stupid. This is unlikely though given how we walk around with our tongues out ready to give the Israelis a rim job anytime they so request one.

And then will the Iranians hold us reponsible? I've heard rumors of at least five former Soviet nukes smuggled in.  Will they go boom?

Dropping nukes on Iran would be insane. I'm not taking a side either way here, just trying to be objective. The saber rattling has intensified recently, and with the alleged plot to assassinate an ambassador to Saudi Arabia, I think they are setting up to allow Israeli planes......somewhere, via S.A.

That said, a nuke attack on an operating reactor is unthinkable. Why would the PTB want to irradiate one of the largest known oil reserves in the world? Isn't that self defeating? What would stop Syria, Lebanon and Egypt from simultaneously going apeshit on Israel? After all, they cant nuke everyone and surround themselves with radiation now can they?

Well, this is TPTB trying to throw some stuff at the stuff flying towards the fan in hopes of deflecting it away from imminent fan hitage. Sorta like a missile shield. When people start buying oil with gold, then the stuff will have officially hit the fan. Unfortunately, so much stuff is flying around fan hitage is unavoidable at this point. TPTB are going to have to put a serious amount of stuff in the air to protect the fan from all this other stuff.

Read Michael Collins' books.  JFK ordered Israel not to go nuclear because it would start endless nuclear proliferation (JFK also planned to take apart the CIA because it was a loose cannon, the 4th branch of government).  Mossad killed JFK (an American coupe), LBJ OK's Israel to go nuclear, and away you go.

Stone's JFK movie was pretty accurate except of course the Jewish (are there Jews in Hollywood?) producers left out the Mossad part.

Rothschild couldn't give a shit about Iran ... but the papists do. To the Vatican, Shia Islam is a heresy (because they don't recognise the Pope as the sole spiritual leader of the planet with a hotline to God) whereas the Sunnis (eg. Saudi Arabia) are more accomodating. Hence the coming engineered battle of mutual destruction between the Jews and the Shia - with NATO watching on the sidelines and supplying both sides with munitions to "keep it interesting".

I respectfully disagree.  it is the Christians and Muslims that have been pitted against each other.   And we don't really need to speculate why or by who.  The vatican is just a useful tool, certainly not the top dog in the NWO, basically a strawman to direct attention away from the real power.  Notice how the pope is used to make the call for a world bank...  would be a bit too obvious if the Rothschilds did it directly.  besides, that is not how it works, they play from behind the scenes.

"Christians and Muslims that have been pitted against each other"

By whom? Are you suggesting that Rothschild was around in 610AD when Muhammad was tutored by the Augustinians (who ghost-wrote the Khoran) and then married a Catholic nun?

"The vatican is just a useful tool"

Riiiiight. A useful tool with 2 billion adherents, a few hundred thousand scheming academic clergy working under an ideology, thousands of committed "knights" (crusaders) under various Orders - and an unbroken 1,800 year history of attempting to rule the world from Rome.

Nearly all current world leaders have sworn allegiance to Rome. The RIIA, Bilderberg, Trilateral, CFR and various other think tanks were all started by Knights of Malta who swore allegiance to Rome. All the major secret societies are also directed from Rome. But you seem to think that Rothschild and a couple of other bankers are planning everything over a game of croquet ... and have been doing so for centuries? Think again.

"Notice how the pope is used to make the call for a world bank"

That wasn't the Pope ... that was some functionary in the Vatican trying to be "helpful" to the European mess that let the cat slip out of the bag, then the story was buried faster than you could say "Hail Mary". I'll bet that Cardinal has since been demoted to a novice! There was zero coverage from either mainstream or alternative media (not a mention on ZH; no comment from Alex Jones; a short-lived link on Drudge) until Max Keiser briefly covered it a week later (then also removed the brief separately-headlined clip from his blog the next day). That story was not meant to come out ... yet!

It is indeed planned from behind the scenes, but not controlled by whom you think it is. The nobility, priests and bankers have always worked together ... they need each other.

Both Iraq and Libya were a very convenient target: Gaddafi and Saddam did not believe in being invaded and were ready to negotiate to the dead end.

If Iranians make it clear that the military actions will take place in Israel, France, Germany, and England, there will not be any war. The fucking West  is looking for easy targets. It is not ready for a real war. It is only good fighting with CIA-controlled phantom Al Qaida “terrorists”. Note how many Al Qaida leaders were killed and none of Taliban.

The history note. The Soviet scientist Andrei Sakharov, in late 1950s, proposed to mined American Pacific and Atlantic coasts with 100MT nuclear devices and, at the first US provocation, blow them up. If Nikita Khrushchev listened to him, there would not be any arm race.

(Actually, I do believe it was Iraq that attacked Iran, however, so to answer your question directly, no - though the Persian Empire did attack Leonidas and his 300)

no, iraq attacked first. tried to use a blitzkreig kind of thing. ran out of steam and bogged down in one of the cities in iran, where resistance became stronger and stronger.

husseins's conscripts were poorly trained and bolted had problems at the first sight of trouble.

We must hate on them because they don't let young women get on the pole by nine years of age.

That's not the problem, it's middle aged men on the poll that's the problem.

Iran under the current régime hasn’t had the balls to attack anyone directly. They have been responsible for numerous attacks though their proxies such Hezbollah. They are also a major supplier of weapons to jihadi groups. Ahmadinejad believes he was put on earth by god to bring on the Muslim apocalypse.  As to whether he has the capability or not is a subject for debate. Hitter also announced his intentions to the world and nobody paid much attention.

Robert Neville , that is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard, IF Iran wanted nukes they would buy them from Russia but they dont because it is againts there religion .We have so many sanction against Iran it makes it hard for them to even sell there oil.         "America is the terrorist of the world"

 It’s all well documented. I worked on a project pertaining to IED’s used in various places. A surprising number of the components come from Iran. Read some of Ahmadinejad’s speeches instead of barking out your ass with kneejerk anti-Americanism. For real fun watch his last speech in front of the UN. The guy is a total nut job. By the way, I didn't even mention nukes.

. . . and I take it you've "read some" of his speeches, in their original language, not the numerous western "translations" variants from the various nooos sources indoctrinating the masses, yes?

I've no love for the guy, but to base a nuclear attack on a nation's peoples because of mis-reported, deliberately mis-represented speeches is the height of insanity - ahhh, carry on. . .

"A surprising number of the components come from Iran."

So finally we see the consequence of American policy to allow "self determination".

When the third world were under the benevolent care of the European empires, they were stuck as primary producers while anything "technological" was manufactured in Europe.

This enlightened policy ensured that the subject peoples were not only ruled by enlightened Europeans, but were also unable to mount an effective challenge to this natural order.

Additionally, were these empires still in existence would we now be facing tropical deforestation outside of South America? No. What a disaster American post WWII policy has turned out to be.

there are about 100,000 persian jews living in iraq. there are many jews high up in government and in the armed forces there. iran has had a long standing agreement with israhole that any jew that wishes to move to israhole may do so without any problems. iranians have no problems with jews per se. if it was so bad for jews in iran, then why don't they all leave?  hell, the president himself is a jew, for crying out loud.......so all of this talk about iran bad, is just bullshit...........things in this world are never the way they are portrayed by the media or any talking head....you have to dig and study on it , and see the game that they are playing .........they know most people will not do this.........the internet is there for all to use to study and enlighten one's self. do it while you still can.

Well, they did induce the turd Bush into destroying their one natural enemy and handing them a dominant position in the ME.

But that's just pwnage, and well-played, not an actual invasion.
