"Arab-Israeli War"? Iranians are not Arabs. "Jewish-Muslim War" would be more accurate. Israel is doing the "pushing". They took captured conquered Golan to make a military buffer zone, but then colonised and annexed it. Next they will grab another slice of Syria to make a buffer zone around their ski hill. Rinse and repeat until they rule over Biblical "Greater Israel" (which includes most of the world's oil).Cid_Yama wrote:You may not have noticed, but the beginning stages of the next Arab-Israeli War has begun.

The Sheba Farms incident will probably be noted as the initial action by those looking back.
Or the taking out by Israel of the forward Iranian commander.
I suspect we dicked around too long with Iran and they either have developed or acquired a nuclear weapon.
The boldness of the movements towards the Golan Heights seems an indication of something significantly beyond BAU.
I hope I'm wrong.

Since they conquered the area they don't have to worry about artillery from there. But now that they have colonised the area and put in the ski hill they need to grab an additional slice of Syrian property to protect them. Rinse and repeat.Subjectivist wrote:From the Golan Heights the majority of the land in Isreal is within artillery range, that hardly qualifies it as a "skie hill"!

They gave up trying to colonise it, which they had no right to, unless you believe Jews are born with Biblical entitlements or subscribe to "might is right". It remained under occupation. I don't think anyone promised them peace while the occupation continues.Plantagenet wrote:Israel already gave up their best surfing areas when they turned over Gaza to the Palestinian authority in exchange for peace

The only reason that Iran would acquire the bomb would be as a deterrence against being attacked themselves. Iran has a parliament system and the chances of getting a majority vote to use a nuke as a first strike is next to zero. They know damn well the consequences of such an action.

Top Iran Official Calls for Israel’s Destruction, Blames Muslim Violence on Jewish State
http://www.thetower.org/top-iran-offici ... ish-state/
Iranian state media reported this week on statements made by Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi in which the powerful Iranian official – Naqdi is the commander of the Basij paramilitary force – explained the sources of regional instability and how to solve them. A lot, it turns out, hangs on the Jewish state’s existence and elimination:

Israel's existence is an "insult to all humanity," Iran's president said on Friday in one of his sharpest attacks yet against the country while Israeli leaders openly debate whether to attack Iran over its nuclear programme.

Are you guys lazy, or just dumb?
That is not one reporter quoting another reporter but their supreme leader stating his views.Poordogabone wrote:GHung wrote:Iranian supreme leader calls for Israel’s ‘annihilation’

All of these are calls for regime change not one actual quote about the destruction of Israel except from the media. Exactly what I was saying and don't get me wrong I'm NOT particularly a fan of Iran but I really resent when someone pisses in my boot then tells me it's raining.
Did you bother to read the links above?
From the top one you get this direct quote ,(translated into English )“This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of #Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated,” Khamenei wrote.
