I looked around the GulfNews website and found that, no, they don't refer to the capital of Iraq as "Occupied Baghdad." The article
reports the words of an Israeli official, "ultra-rightwing Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman."
Occupied Jerusalem: Israel will have to confront the perceived nuclear threat from Iran on its own, the country's ultra-rightwing Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman said yesterday.
"We will have to face the Iranians alone, because Israel cannot remain with its arms folded, waiting patiently for Iran to develop non-conventional weapons," he told public radio when asked about a possible Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear installations.
The Dubai paper also provides an
informative link to a pdf page describing the Israeli Arrow missile program.
The test is being seen as a message to Iran as it continues to
press ahead with its nuclear programme.
These questions, what will Israel do, get answered in forums far from the ears of the press. One can't help but think that some conversations are going on at some level. I don't see Armageddon but an unprovoked Israeli response would not work out well for them. Of course, if the Americans did something, Israel would still be blamed. (We do everything they tell us, you know).
