Iran’s terrorist President Ahmadinejad declares jihad against Israel
Iran’s terrorist President Ahmadinejad declares jihad against Israel
by Jerry Gordon, a former U.S. military intelligence officer, writer, activist who resides in Connecticut.
The pits are humming in Tel Aviv. ZAHAL's military intelligence and war planning directorates are busily laying out options for dealing a blow against Ahmadnejad's jihad quest to "wipe Israel off the map of the earth." Terrorist President Ahmadinejad means it. He said it not once but twice last week in the closing days of Ramadan at the peak of Islamic jihadi fervor.
David Warren in his commentary in the Ottawa Citizen noted that Ahmadnejad called ” for Israel to be annihilated, and the “Zionists” (i.e. Jews) exterminated, while several tens of thousands chanted anti-Semitic and anti-American slogans, waved toy pistols, and burned Star-of-David flags.”
Warren concluded:
“It should be realized that President Ahmadinejad’s threats -- and his subsequent failure to retract them -- themselves constitute acts of war. The Israelis, at the least, are in a moral and legal position to act in self-defence; and all decent men and women are under a moral obligation to support them.”
Ahmadinejad formerly Tehran’s “populist” Mayor is the only elected - if you can call him that - leader of a major Islamic country who has a terrorist track record. Remember his photograph as one of the leaders of the revolutionary guards back in 1979 who seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held personnel captive there for 444 days? He was also alleged to have participated in several covert actions including directing an assassination of Iranian Kurdish leader Abdorrahman Qassemlou, who was shot dead by senior officers of the Revolutionary Guards in a Vienna flat in July 1989.
Ahmadinejad was considered a key planner of the attack. He was reported to have been involved in planning an attempt on the life of author Salman Rushdie.
Iran is dangerous because it possess the means of striking at not only Israel, Europe but even here in the Americas. Iran has CBW, conventional high explosive or possibly nuclear warheads to send via those Shehab III missiles or suitcase size nuclear and CBW devices to send into the Hezbolleh controlled Bekas Valley in Lebanon to be secreted in those tunnels in the mountains there. Iran has used Syria as a conduit for these mortal threats to Isarel and the surrounding region. Syria itself is in a "flagrant delectus" position because of U.N. reports, however doctored, indicating that Surian President Bashir Assad's brother and the late head of intelligence in Lebanon Brig. Gen Ghazi Kenaan who was alleged to have committed suicide.- were directly involved in the bombing death of Lebanese ex- PM Rafik Hariri and his entourage in Beirut in February. Iran is reported to be sending Syria arms to be shipped to Hezbolleh and Palestinian Refugee camps in Lebanon in preparation for a new “civil war.”
Iran is also reported by reliable Lebanese sources to send more than $600 million annually to its surrogate in Lebanon, Hezbollah. Hezbollah cops another $600 million through control of international telephony, Internet monopolies in Lebanon and drug dealing.
Iran is a danger to itself, and the countries in the Gulf region . Witness those Chernobyl era Russian nuclear reactors for its bomb making programs. One of them in Bam is located on an active fault line in the "ring of fire "earthquake zone. If an earthquake of say 7+ on the logarithmic Richter scale hit Bam with a close by epicenter and caused destruction of the containment chamber, the radiation cloud emitted from the wrecked facility would, according to experts, result in the deaths of tens of thousands downwind in the oil producing Gulf region.
While the U.N. security council funfers with voting sanctions against Iran's surrogate Syria and Secretary General Kofi Anan rushes off to Tehran to “bear hug” Ahmadinejad and the IAEA and the E.U. "six" dither about their inability to cut a diplomatic deal to forestall Iran's nuclear weapons program, Israel has only one choice-"en brera "in Ivrit. It must take out Ahmannejad's command and control structure, the hooded Shia mullahs and some of the strategic plutonium enrichment production facilities and Shehab III missile assembly and launch facilities.
This will be more complex than the "Raid on the Sun" in 1981 that took out Saddam Hussein's Osirak nuclear facility. A facility provided by French President Chirac.
ZAHAL has to use several approaches to breaking the Shia scimitar of Ahmadinejad, both innovative and conventional. The technological developments since 1981 include Israel's spy in the sky providing satellite imagery and electronic eavesdropping capabilities on a real time basis and the Israel version of those fabled E-bombs or high powered microwave (HPM) weapons that can wipe out the command and control net of Iran's revolutionary guards and isolate the mullahs who all live in a protected zone in Tehran. Israel has sufficient HUMINT capabilities to obtain a picture of what is inside the proposed jihad war plans and capabilities. Israel does have a defense of sorts the unused, but partially tested Arrow anti-missile missiles. The IAF may have perfected possible aerial strategies that must cope with the daunting problems of running an electronic warfare and aerial refueling gauntlet on missions much longer and more complex than the ones that F-16s undertook to destroy the Osirak reactor in Iraq in 1981. The Israeli Navy also has those long range (13,00 mile operating radius) diesel powered Dolphin Class German built missile boats equipped with both conventional and nuclear tipped weaponry.
We who live in North America can take no comfort by being distant from the crazed terror President and jihadi mullahs in Tehran. Remember that the billionaire "mafioso" Ayatollah Rafsanjani in Tehran ordered Hezbolleh to kill more than 29 Israelis in 1992 and more than 86 mostly Jews and over 300 wounded in Argentina in 1994 when they bombed first the Israeli embassy and two years later bombed AMIA, www.worldhistory.com/wiki/A/AMIA-Bombing.htm the Jewish community headquarters building in Buenos Aires. Lest we forget the day prior to the 1992 attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, a Panamanian commuter plane was blown up by another presumed Hezbolleh operative and 21 passengers, 12 of them Jews were killed. All supported with hush money bribes like the $10 million deposited in a Swiss bank account for Argentine ex-President Menem to fob off the investigations that took nearly a decade to resolve. Nor has much been done to clean out the lawless Muslim triangle of terror" at the conjunction of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where Hezbolleh, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and PLO operatives and front businesses run rampant.
So, yes, the pits in Tel Aviv at ZAHAL are humming for good reason. They are trying to plan for the best solutions for breaking Iran's jihadi scimitar and protecting Israel, World Jewry and as they did in 1981-the world. There's little time left and the clock is ticking.

Here is another intersting bit of news via AP
Extremists, however, were motivated by Ahmadinejad's remarks. About 300 men and women turned up Sunday at the offices of the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement (search) to volunteer for suicide bomb attacks against Israel.
A spokesman for the group said it had signed up more than 45,000 volunteers to undergo training for suicide attacks since it began recruiting in June 2004.
"More than 1000 of them have already been trained. Many of them don't need training since they are already members of the elite Revolutionary Guards (search) and paramilitary Basij forces," Mohammad Ali Samadi said.

Its been known for some time that Iran has been masterminding terror attacks against Jewish targets. In the UK the police were prepared to extradite a former Iranian diplomat to Argentina as he was implicated in the bombing of the Jewish cultural Centre there that cost over 80 lives including many children, but Jack Straw who was the Home Secretary at the time arranged for his release from custody and he skipped the jurisdiction. Iranians have also been caught filming Jewish schools in North London probably for future terror attacks. We are essentially dealing with a criminal/gangster regime that ignores the norms of international behaviour. The EU hasn't woken up to the danger yet and its quite shocking how Russia continues to build their nuclear reactors and arm her whilst suppressing fundamentalist Islam in the former soviet Union - quite reminiscent of era of the the Nazi- soviet pact.

A lot of quotes are needed around """"""""""Palestinian""""""""""refugee camps""""""""""in Lebannon. Usually, shipments to refugee camps consist of food, medicines, blankets, supplies to live on; arms, ammunition and explosives establish that the so called camp is a terrorist facility.
I hold an excellent article by Steve Rodan titled "Grape Juice In A Wine Glass". It appeared in the 2 April 1996 Jerusalem Post.
The subhead: "Steve Rodin has learned that Israel's attacks on Hizbullah operations in Lebanon were never intended to do any real harm".
Here are a few pertinent quotes from Steve:
Senior military officers said hurting Hizbullah was not the goal of Operation Grapes of Wrath."
"But quietly, some IDF sources acknowledge a second reason: Israel doesn't want to provoke a terrorist offensive by Hizbollah."
"Over the years, Israel has learned that Hizbollah vengeance exacts a high price. ;months later, the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires was bombed.."
"Today, Hizbollah is once again raising the possibility of renewed terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish installations abroad."
I believe these nearly decade old Steve Rodan quotes relate to what Jerry and David discuss re current events.
Kol tuv,

It would be very difficult to expand/improve on what Jerry Gordon wrote, so i won't try. A riveting document that serves to underline the importance of taking action now before it's too late. A devastating first strike on the mullahs is essential and fully justified.
That regime needs to be consigned to the trashbin of history...but quickly!

'In May, 2004, Hassan Abbassi, a leading adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, announced:
"We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization and for the uprooting of the Americans and the English. The global infidel front is a front against Allah and the Muslims, and we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them."'
