The Beginning Of The End For Israel - Mad Dog Style

Before you bedrock Zionists accuse me of anti-semitism, this is not MY prediction but that of Martin van Creveld, professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem as quoted in an article by David Hirst and published in the Observer on Sunday September 21, 2003:

‘We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: “Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.” I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.’

According to Hirst, this is not new for Israel. As early as the 1950s Israeli Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon, “‘constantly preached for acts of madness’ or ‘going crazy’ if ever Israel were crossed.”

Apparently, Israelis still embrace that approach.

Two days of Israeli bombings had killed 47 Lebanese and wounded 103, Health Minister Mohammed Jawad Khalife said. Besides the Israeli civilian, eight Israeli soldiers had also been killed.

This is in addition to the Palestinians they killed yesterday.

Israel killed at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday, including nine members of one family.
