Those of us who were confident in the belief that Israel, in the absence of positive action by our current administration, would take matters into her own hands and do to Iran's nuclear ambitions what she did to those of Iraq, on June 7, 1981 (in Operation Babylon) , and to those of Syria, on September 6, 2007 (in Operation Orchard), have reason for concern, according to Caroline Glick.
This is from her column of July 5, Israel's palace coup plotters:
Since the beginning of his first term as prime minister 15 years ago, Binyamin Netanyahu has consistently warned that the greatest dangers Israel faces stem from the forces of global jihad generally and the Iranian regime and its nuclear program specifically. After taking office for the second time in 2009, Netanyahu made blocking Iran's rise to nuclear power his top priority. He ordered the heads of the Mossad and the IDF to prepare plans to attack Iran's nuclear installations.
Last Friday, Haaretz reported that former Mossad chief Meir Dagan and former IDF chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi refused to obey his order. Rather than prepare strike plans, Dagan and Ashkenazi warned that such a strike would foment a regional war. That is, rather than do their jobs, they made excuses for failing to fulfill their duty to obey Israel's elected leadership.
The Left in Israel is, if anything, more brazen than their counterparts here in the U.S., and they seem wedded to the belief that no action in the face of real and imminent danger is the best policy. Caroline Glick's article reads like a fictional novel of intrigue. Would that it were. Click below to read it all.
