The moment of truth is approaching

Posted by Tzahi Hanegbi

In November 2006, when I held a ministerial position in Ariel Sharon's government and was responsible, among other things, for strategic dialogue with the US, I stood at the head of the Israeli delegation preparing for a meeting in Washington.

As is customary, prior to our departure to the US, the delegation was called in for a final briefing with Prime Minister Sharon. We presented to him a list of topics that were on our agenda to be discussed in the US.

We described in detail the Israeli positions as consolidated in discussions by our team, composed of senior officials from the Foreign Ministry, the Prime Minister's Office, the Defense Ministry, the IDF and the Mossad.

Samuel Eichner L: There is not an easy way out of this problem, but a "combined" attack from the US and Israel (NOT NUCLEAR) will be the only way out.
Jeffrey- Jerusalem: If you think the unity of the current political leadership is the balm for the problem, then you are deluding yourself. The 1967 success was directly attributable to the miracles wrought by the Almighty for his people. How does one unify politicians caught up in their own secular ego trips? At least the late Menachem Begin was a shomer shabat. When politicians are not embarassed to admit publically that they flaunt the Torah and its laws, its little wonder that they do not have the wherewithal to bring about a lasting peace. There is no koach atsem byadi.
Andrew, Sydney (soon to be Jerusalem): Iran might be able to absorb the loss of 1 million citizens but it couldn't survive the loss of 22 million which is what it would lose in a nuclear exchange with Israel. Israel would survive a nuclear war with Iran but it should never be allowed to get to that point. Attack Iran now and expose it for the paper tiger it is. Iran's missiles are highly inaccurate without GPS (which the US will turn off) and the small percentage that will get thru Israel's missile defence screen are just as likely to hit Palestinian areas as Israeli ones.
