Now Here's a Scary Thought.

In the middle east there is this country called Israel. They desperately want to attack another country in the middle east called Iran. When that happens tradition dictates that Iran must respond by attacking Israel leading to something called a war.

Elsewhere in the middle east there is a country called Egypt where the President has overwhelmingly been told to go by his people but is desperately trying to cling to power until at least September. At best this will lead to a nasty, summer long, stand-off that will destroy the Egyptian tourism industry. At worst it will lead to a bloody massacre that will increase anti-Israeli feeling across the Arab world. Already the situation in Egypt is preventing essentials like food an fuel from getting into Gaza increasing pressure on Hamas to attack Israel.

So if Israel attacks Iran before Mubarak stands down it will provoke a huge war. That war won't be enough to bring about the rapture but it will be one of the most brutal wars the middle east has ever seen. Under those circumstances how far do you think Israel will be prepared to go to defend itself?

Dude ... seriously ...

Isreal will defend its right to exist. The leaders of Iran have threatened to wipe it from the face of the earth - repeatedly. Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and their leader has stated he will use whatever force he has to incinerate Isreal.

Will Isreal strike Iran? Maybe a surgical strike against the nuclear weapons development facilities, as they've done before. An out and out attack ont he country - no way. There would be nothing for Isreal to gain.

To the Palestinians and Gaza - these poor people are just being used as a pawn by the anti-Isreal entities in the Middle East. If these countries/leaders/religions gave a damn about the Paletinians, why aren't they helping them? The Saudis, Iranians, Egyptians, Syrians, etc., have more than enough land and wealth to take care of the Palestinians.

Why don't they? Because if they do, they the 'plight' of the Palestinians wouldn't be an excuse for continued hatred towards Isreal. Then the hatred would be exposed as what it really is - pure and simple religious bigotry.
