We will always remember what the Nazi Amalek did to us, and we won’t forget to be prepared for the new Amalek, who is making an appearance on the stage of history and once again threatening to destroy the Jews,unless we take these threats seriously, we will have serious problems ahead.We must recognize who Amalek is in our generation, and we must prepare to fight it in every way we can.
Amalek – Time honoured system which occupied certain place with pride,hate,selfishness,envy.

[...] And I’m sure there are plenty I’m missing. The one thing that everyone who comments on it agrees with is that Netanyahu’s adviser’s Amalek comment was ridiculous and dangerous. For the best post on that, see IPS’ Daniel Luban. [...]

“Don’t worry though, “some Christian experts” predict the end of the world is nigh, so obviously it’s all moot anyway.”

Based on a middle eastern war.

David, why would the SCO fight us with military means? They aren’t stupid, nor are terrorists, you never engage the tip of the spear. Suppose you can divide your enemy from his allies as Russia nearly can with natural gas and oil. Suppose that you could become your fiercest foe’s banker, don’t you think this would be an effective way to blunt his assault? No wise foe will attack your strength, unless it holds some Grecian flaw. Our is our debt, the crippling nature of our armor has frozen us. Why ever would you think they will fight us directly, when they can cripple us without ever firing a shot?

Some Israeli experts predict that the Iranian leadership would be willing to sacrifice 50 percent of their countrymen in order to eradicate Israel.

Ah but by the same illogic, since some “Israeli experts” don’t predict this it must be false as well as true!

@ Saka: It could be in the middle of 2010 but I’ve heard that the Iranians are making deals to by higher tech anti-aircraft missiles from Russia (by way of Belarus) and they are due to arrive before then end of the year. Not only that but Iran is being considered for full membership (it’s now an ‘observer’) in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (like NATO but with China, Russia and some Central Asian Republics) in June. So if it gets accepted in June then if Israel attacks China and Russia will be bound to respond. They would in effect be declaring to Israel their willingness if they accepted Iran. Interesting.

The logical and sensible interpretation of this discussion, given all of the above analysis, leads inexorably down a path to nuclear war in the ME, albeit that one side may not have nuclear weapons delivery capability when it starts. The time frame would appear to be the middle of 2010 at the latest.

This is not quite accurate. If we take God’s command and the Amalek analogy literally, then an Israeli prime minister would be bound not to seek “its [the Amalekite arsenal’s] destruction,” but rather “their [the Amalekites’] destruction.” Could this be linked. Mirror images. It's not Israel wanting to destruct the Amalekites but it is rather that Iranian leaders want to sacrifice 50% of their people. Michael B. Oren

A Nuclear-Armed Iran. The principal sponsor of Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran is inextricably linked to the terrorist threat. But when the Islamic Republic achieves nuclear weapons-capability—as early as this year, according to Israeli intelligence estimates—the threat will amplify manifold. A nuclear-armed Iran creates not one but several existential threats. The most manifest emanates from Iran’s routinely declared desire to “wipe Israel off the map,” and from the fact that cold war calculi of nuclear deterrence through mutually assured destruction may not apply to Islamist radicals eager for martyrdom. Some Israeli experts predict that the Iranian leadership would be willing to sacrifice 50 percent of their countrymen in order to eradicate Israel. Beyond the perils of an Iranian first-strike attack against Israel, the possibility exists that Iran will transfer its nuclear capabilities to terrorist groups, which will then unleash them on Israel via the country’s porous ports and border crossings. A nuclear Iran will also deny Israel the ability to respond to terrorist attacks: in response to an Israeli retaliation against Hezbollah, for example, Iran would go on nuclear alert, causing widespread panic in Israel and the collapse of its economy. Finally, and most menacing, many Middle Eastern states have declared their intention to develop nuclear capabilities of their own once Iran acquires the bomb. Israel will swiftly find itself in a profoundly unstable nuclear neighborhood prone to violent revolutions and miscalculations leading to war. As former Labor Party minister Efraim Sneh says, under such circumstances, all Israelis who can leave the country will.

Do people like Michael B. Oren secretly think that its all about supremacy in the ME, but that it is not wise to let the plebs know?
