Israel ex-security chief says leadership 'misleading public' on Iran

"Mr Diskin, who stepped down as Shin Bet chief last year after six years, said he had "no faith in the current leadership" of Mr Netanyahu and Mr Barak, according to Israeli media reports.

"I don't believe in a leadership that makes decisions based on messianic feelings," he said at a public meeting.

"They are misleading the public on the Iran issue. They tell the public that if Israel acts, Iran won't have a nuclear bomb. This is misleading. Actually, many experts say that an Israeli attack would accelerate the Iranian nuclear race."

Frankly Benjamin Netanyahu should be removed from his post. He is a threat to global peace. I remember when the Gulf War happened and the US had to slap him down as he was all set to attack Iraq in retaliation for the one or two scud missles that landed in Israel. I am not happy with this guy having his finger on the nuclear button. He is too much of a hot head and is a dangerous man. I dont trust him one iota.

Learn the facts before you write.

Yitzhak Shamir was the Israeli PM at the time, not Benjamin Netanyahoo,
and no one had to slap him down.
It wasn't “1 or 2 Scud missiles that landed in Israel “, but 39.
