07-11-07 - 'US hasn't yet grasped Iran threat' ** Ilan Berman, speaking at the Conservative Heritage Foundation on Tuesday, said that the US hasn't made that choice because it "hasn't yet grasped the fundamental threat to American interests" posed by Iran. That also leads to some divergence between America and Israel in their sense of urgency and "how much time is left" for dealing with Iran, he said. Heritage Foundation - another neocon 'thinktank'. The problem with this assessment: the American national interest isn't threatened by Iran. Israel's is. Consequently, Israel wants US to take out Iran (like we took out Saddam, their previous primary threat).

07-11-07 - Analysis: Rumors of Syria-Israel war Dennis Ross, a former senior U.S. Middle East peace negotiator, was quoted by an Israeli newspaper as saying he thinks "there is a risk of war" between Syria and Israel in the summer. Ross told YnetNews, Yedioth Ahronoth's Internet edition, that "no one has made any decisions, but the Syrians are positioning themselves for war." According to the Austrian UN official, Israel is exaggerating the Syrian threat, and is itself engaging in belligerent behavior. This is reminiscent of the atmosphere in the runup to the Six Day War. So the question then becomes: why does Israel want to attack Syria? This is what they seem to be leading up to. Well, it may be because they didn't really win last year's war with Hezbollah. And being as though this would be a war with another STATE, and thus not a more difficult guerilla war, they may actually succeed in beating up on Syria - a nation whose military isn't the biggest threat in the world. It would be equivalent to shooting fish in a barrel in order to a) make yourself feel better, and b)attempt to instill fear in those pesky uppity Arabs who may suddenly feel heartened by Hezb's successes of last year. In other words, Israel may want to pick out some small weak Arab country to slap around a bit in order to make an example out of them.


07-11-07 - UN commander in Golan 'worried by Israel's actions' According to him, the Syrians have not stationed any special forces in the area next to the border that would be capable of launching a surprise attacking against Israel. "On the Syrian side I do not notice any unusual preparations," he says. "On the Israeli side, however, we see intensive activity? Israel's right to defend itself is self-understood, but its current activities do not contribute to the efforts to diminish the tensions in the region? The actions on Israel's side are not very helpful when it comes to calming the Syrians down."

07-11-07 - A year after war, Israelis resilient The irony - a year later as Lebanon still lays in ruins thanks to Israel's largescale destruction of the nation - Israel's economy is 'booming' and Israelis are 'resilient'. Neither Hezbollah nor Lebanon were ever a threat to Israel's existence. Israel gets away scotfree after destroying another Arab nation. Not one Israeli shekel went to Lebanon's reconstruction. Same goes for that of the Palestinians. ANother stark difference between America and Israel.


07-11-07 - Palestinian steals Lieberman's cell phone The Palestinian, who works at a carwash station in the city, snatched the phone from the minister's car as it was being washed. The phone was later found on the youth who managed to flee the scene before the police arrived.
