Israel is starting to speak up, and frankly I like it.

'Iran can also be wiped off the map'


Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Monday in an interview to Reuters that "the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map," Army Radio reported.

According to Peres, "Teheran is making a mockery of the international community's efforts to solve the crisis surrounding Iran's nuclear program."

"Iran presents a danger to the entire world, not just to us," Peres added.

Peres' vehement expressions came the same day that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly wrote to US President George W. Bush proposing "new solutions" to their differences in the first letter from an Iranian leader to an American president in 27 years, government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said Monday.



The world needs to take its head out of the sand, the last time a world leader used the same rhetoric that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been using was in 1938 by a man called "Hitler", and we all know where that led. And remember: Hitler didnt have nuclear power or the oil reserves Iran has.

What amazes me here is that this comment came from a man who has always been a dove. This isn't Sharon saying this, or Netanyahu, or anyone else who can be called a warmonger. This is Peres.

It just brings to mind that perhaps Israel got tired of Iran's pathetic rhetoric which is actually reminiscent of a 3rd grader yelling "I can kick your butt" at the other children in the park.



I disagree, I don't think the rhetoric of Nejad is either stupid, pathetic or childish. I think first of all the rhetoric does what very few Middle Eastern leaders have done, but what has been happening to them as well as their faith. That is that is serves as a kind of serious and severe propaganda. Even the way he said it has even garnered support from many in the West, who have challenged the mainstream beliefs about Israel.

It pulls the middle eastern people on his side making it even more costly for the stooge leaders, especially the Arab leaders to go against them. It stops the middle eastern people from rushing to except Israel's existence which means the same thing for their leaders. Israel's existence or the acceptance of it is a fragile thing, but because of alot of convincing propaganda, many people were getting ready to accept them, now it's very difficult.

It sends a warning to the other warmongering state which is Israel. Before Nejad became president and when Iran was more appeasing Israel was calling for a war, now they have to think will there be consequences. The consequences are deeper then in the region. I read an article where they expressed regret at bush claiming that the main reason for the war was Israel. They felt it would bring backlash against Israel. But those calling for war have to think about the consequences on a deep scale. If Iran goes down their obviously taking people with them.

Israel will hit Iran in the next few months: Israeli official


The unnamed official told Arnaud de Borchgrave, editor-in-chief of the United Press International (UPI), at the recently held national day reception at the Israeli Embassy that he believed Israel would strike Iran first in the next two or three months and that fighter bombers would not be involved as they had been to take out Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor before it went critical in 1981. For Osirak, Israel had used 14 F-15s and F-16s. This time, the Israeli said, it would be missiles. Asked if Israel would employ Cruise missiles, he replied, “with a gesture of his hand that went up and down again”, which meant that it would be the weapon of choice.
