The writing is on the wall. The same international community that sanctioned the last war against Iraq (based on institutional originated disinformation and bypassing the UN) would need to lead one against Israel. That is, if it wasn’t want to be considered hypocrite. After all, the Goldstone Report – now accepted by the UN Human Rights Commission – defined Israel as a terrorist organization in article 1690 (and others). Some would ask 'how come a Christian is writing about a war?' Sometimes the task of a Christian is to point out the truth, to say what will happen if God is not accepted; the personal price he’ll pay for that is of no consequence. So, this article is not a call for war, but a call for Israeli citizens to repent, to understand the wrong they are committing daily, to stop it and to indemnify its victims properly. Otherwise? Probably the war above mentioned would take place. How would such a war look? That’s the topic of this article. As with my article about 'MI5, CAZAB and Israel' I am in danger of falling into certain legal traps that may harm my refugee status; thus I’ll refer to public information where possible and to my military analysis capabilities gained through my training as an IDF officer. In no place I’ll use factual information gained in my service as an officer. Having served in various strategic units can become a drawback later in life. Wherever I cannot expand on facts or the reasoning process, I’ll place an asterisk (*). The IDF has an image of strength. Reality is different. Those judging weapons by their number commit a serious error; an intentional one as part of the IDF intimidation tactic is: 'we have hundreds of American fighters, you can’t win.' Mmm...Let’s see the real picture; what are the IDF weak points:
-. An army too big for its country. A 'rush hour' effect during the organization of the army for a war would transform most main roads into a long caravan of useless steel. We have all seen pictures of unmoving Israeli tanks on the Lebanese mountainous roads. Moreover, tanks within Israel are transported on semi-trailers and are thus dead weight.
-. Narrow corridors force the army to move through certain roads. I did write recently about
the importance of Ariel in the defense of a second corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
-. One continuous front. This can be solved with a Vertical Bypass (*), but the last can be blocked.
-. Hostile islands in the form of Palestinian cities demanding a strong policing presence of the IDF.
-. Strategic concentration of forces in a few central points. (*)
-. Limited amounts of weapons; without a massive infusion of American armaments during a total conflict the IDF can fight only a given amount of days. (*)
-. Outdated Equipment. Several of the IDF divisions use obsolete equipment and their capability to move is close to zero. (*)
-. Inflated statistics. Many reserve soldiers wouldn’t arrive if called in an emergency. The IDF is smaller than it looks. (*)
-. Structural weak points. Israeli weapons suffer of intrinsic weak points The Merkava Tank weak points were
publicly disclosed in their failures in Gaza. An article I published about Dow Chemical illustrates other points.
-. The Israeli Air Force is portrayed as the strongest arm of the IDF. In 2006 the IDF was for the first time in many years under the command of an air force officer. He didn’t trust the 'greens' (Hebrew slang for ground forces) and kept them on hold while he sent the 'blues' – the air force – to ruthlessly attack Lebanon. In parallel, he found time to call his broker and sell his entire portfolio in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, causing an additional embarrassment to the Israeli administration. The entire operation failed miserably. The Israeli air force is built for single tactical strikes and not for strategic fighting against highly dispersed ground forces. After the first surprise, the air attacks become an annoyance but not an impassable frontier. In any case Israel’s fuel reserves are vulnerable. (*)
-. Cultural weak points. Many Israeli citizens oppose the Zionist regime. They would appear at a conflict
point blocking the regime operations in a myriad of ways, even by just walking away.
From here onwards, the plans for such an event seem easier that when looking at propagandistic sources claiming Israel has the Xth strongest army in the whole world (next they’ll claim that’s true for the whole galaxy). How would an international army approach such an event? Most probably by attacking several points at once. A maritime landing nearby Netanya would dissect the country in two at its narrowest point is an obvious beginning. Two special forces would concentrate on the main general headquarters of the army – concentrating in their isolation rather than their destruction. (*) A few strategic junctions – especially the one in the north which is the IDF weakest point (*) and Glilot, where the Mossad and other units are located – would be locked with the use of a few snipers or other force multipliers (*). Bab el-Wad – the narrowest point on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway – would also be an obvious target. Other weak points exist (*) American weapons convoys would be blocked by targeting the Haifa Port – the largest in the country – rather than by attacking the American ships. An international force entering from Jordan into the Jezreel Valley and advancing rapidly to the port may achieve that easily, as well as blocking the Northern Command organization activities (*). Attacking the Northern Command itself is useless (*), but isolating it is rather doable. Under such dramatic conditions the IDF may change its operational plans (*) and make a painful decision. The Southern Command may be ordered to give up the Negev Desert and concentrate on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem Highway and in the northern side of the Gaza Strip. This Command may be the first one to collapse (*) offering comfortable access to the international army forces entering from southern Jordan. Can this plan succeed? This depends on the scenario chosen. If catching Israel by surprise, it’ll collapse in hours. Considering the time it takes recruiting and organizing an international army that is an improbable case. The other is building up the force slowly while Israel spends out its reserves. The Israeli society cannot survive without American grains and fuel. Blocking the ports and building up the ground forces in the surrounding countries may result in fantastic results, maybe even to an unconditional surrender of the terrorist Zionist regime before even one bullet is shot. And as the Hebrew saying says: '…and better an hour earlier.'

Israel and the US preparing for Iran Part 1 - The Military Perspective
UK, February 8, 2010 -This year saw an Israeli-US joint exercise 'Juniper Cobra 10' take place off the coast of Israel which involved the IDF and the US Navy 6th Fleet. The purpose of the exercise was to participate in countering simulated attacks by ballistic, medium-range and short-range missiles and rockets by Iran on Israel.
As part of this build up the US Military has more than doubled its stockpile of weapons in Israel which it states 'Israel can use.' One would assume that just like the preparation in the build up to the Lebanon Crisis in 2006 and pre Cast Lead in 2008 that this is a very clear indication that both the US and Israel are preparing for a strike on the nuclear facilities in Iran. The US Navy already has a significant naval force in the Gulf and we are now seeing the slow deployment of Israeli Naval Vessels into the region. In order for the Israeli Navy to position to such a location it requires the permission of the Gulf States to enter their waters. One cannot fully understand how these Islamic States could allow Israeli vessels to transit their zone with the intention of carrying out an attack on another Islamic country (Iran). Nothing surprises me anymore when we saw those same states turn their back on Gaza and Palestine. What I find amazing is that the UN and the world looks on without saying a word knowing that this action will probably take place as soon as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is ready for operational use. The Pentagon has been applying extreme pressure on Boeing to bring forward the development and testing of this massive bomb by June 2010 almost two years ahead of intended operations. It may also be the US intention to make use of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) which was intended for use in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is my understand that this is not just a simple action, to take out nuclear facilities, but rather an extremely dangerous situation that could not only lead to a major action or war but also cause catastrophic radiation contamination of the entire Middle East and the World. I will cover the environmental aspect in Part 2 followed by the Part 3 which will cover the economic damage that such action would cause to the UK and EU economies. Militarily speaking this possible strike can erupt into a full scale war based on the proviso that if Israel and the US attack Iran that would be considered an act of war resulting in retaliatory action by the Iranian on Israeli and US targets. Make no bones about it Iran has a significant high tech military that can cause much damage on the invaders and once that step has been taken the US would then carry out further attacks resulting in War. My guess would be this is what the US, UK and NATO countries really want, which is a regime change......heard that before in Iraq and Afghanistan? With the new NATO ground rules clearly in place 'An attack on one is an attack on all' or what has recently been added to the rules 'An attack on any military facility, oil/gas facility, pipeline or any other commercial entity is an attack on all' we can, as usual, see how the US can carefully manipulate this action into a total NATO involvement or should I say a possible WW3. I must emphasize that any such action by the US and Israel would be totally irresponsible leading to the possible death of millions of people in the region. So lets again look at this very dangerous and complicated military scenario that is starting to unfold and fully understand who has to be involved in carrying out such an attack and the risks associated with its implementation. First of all this type of operation is pushing the safety envelope of the Israeli Air Force to its maximum and can only be achieved with the involvement of the US Military. None of the existing IAF aircraft can make such a long range flight without transiting other Islamic States, stopping for fuel or in having in flight refueling provided by the US. The massive US fed munitions stockpile currently in Israel would be utilized by the IAF and they would have to take maximum weapons payload with minimum fuel. This mission would test both aircraft and their crews to the maximum with the main purpose of delivering their deadly payload to target and with no room to detour or carry out a defensive role if attacked by any Iranian aircraft. It would clearly mean that some of the Israeli aircraft would not return as a result of this high risk operation. The weapons stockpiled by the US in Israel also contain weapons with uranium components such as 'Bunker Buster' etc and the combination of such weapons hitting a nuclear facility would lead to terrible consequences in the Middle East. Then we have the question of the MOP which is specifically being tested for use in Iran. This bomb has the potential to not only call catastrophic damage but also has the ability to set off earthquakes in the region. All of the above weapons in that context could be classified as WMD's and are totally indiscriminate in their application and thus are in breach of the Geneva Convention as well as breaching many other international laws. We have heard rumours that such weapons as the MOP and other penetrating type weapons could have triggered the earthquakes in California and also Haiti. Any weapon of this size when it enters the earth crust sends huge shockwaves deep into the earth and should this be in an area of existing rifts the resultant aftermath is self explanatory. Let's now look at this evil bomb currently under test in the US. The MOP is around 20.5 feet long and a total weight of just under 30,000lbs. The weapon carries 5,300lbs of explosives. It is carried aboard a US Air Force B-2 Bomber and is guided to its target by its onboard global positioning navigation system. Readers will note that the only aircraft capable of carrying this weapon is the USAF B-2 Stealth Bomber and therefore if Israel attacks Iran (which is what the US wants them to do) then the US will definitely be involved in the delivery of this bomb. The B-2 will be able to carry two MOP's and thus would be a prime target to attack as it approached Iranian airspace. The B-2 would fly at high altitude and release the weapons some distance from target. It is also my belief that whilst Israel and the US are on a war footing they may also possible carry out strikes on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria during 2010. As with all conflicts the whole purpose is to divide and conquer and Israel is right in the middle of a very unstable area. Should they choose to carry out such action I am sure this could well see the end of Israel. Part 2 of this series will cover the environmental aspect of such an attack. It will show how the catastrophic fallout will initially consume the entire Middle East from Turkey - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India and from North of the Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan - Turkmenistan - Uzbekistan -Tajikistan - Kyrgyzstan - China - Nepal - Syria - Iraq - Kuwait - Saudi Arabia - Bahrain - Lebanon - Israel - Palestine - Jordan - Egypt - Qatar - UAE - Oman - Yemen. Not one country in the Middle East will be spared. All of this contamination will take place within the first couple of days and within 7-10 days will be around the world. I ask the UN, UK, EU, Russia, China, Japan and all of the above countries to address this problem with the utmost urgency and ensure that the US and Israel do not attack Iran and that diplomacy without threat is the only way to come to some compromise. Maybe if the US and the rest of the world applied the same pressure on Israel as they do on Iran we may see fair play. Surely if Israel has unlimited and uncontrolled nuclear capabilities they would be considered a threat to the Islamic world so common sense must prevail here. As it stands at the moment it is just pure US/Israeli aggression as we have seen so many times before. Keep watching this space for the horrific details of Part 2 - Environmental Impact of such action.
