Israeli Chemical Attack Vulnerability countered by Several Factors!

There is little likelihood that Iran and Syria will launch a first-strike chemical or biological missile attack against Israel. The same likelihood will apply if and when the Iranians develop a nuclear arsenal mounted on Shihab missiles.
The most obvious reason is their complete awareness of the vast arsenal of chemical, biological, and nuclear Israeli warheads, which would be airborne and screaming toward pre-targeted Iranian and Syrian targets before their first warhead ever hit the Israeli launching sites
in the vast Negev.
The second obvious reason is the high casualty count of Arab allies such an attack would produce in Israel and the Islamic countries around her. WMD’s do spread their effects over wide areas with no respect of race, color or creed.
This is a discipline in which I was well trained while on active duty in the Middle East and other foreign zones of conflict.
The third would be the cert ainty of
a nuclear attack against both of them by the United States, which would completely wipe out their military capacity to conquer the nation of Israel.
All President Bush needs is a valid excuse to justify it internationally. Delete this reason as being valid on December 31, 2008.
The fourth would be the atomic radiation airborne particles that would be spread as nuclear fallout across the entire Middle East, which would contaminate that zone for quite a while. Only heaven knows how many atomic fallout patterns I prepared on active duty
The fifth, and perhaps most compelling reason, is simply this – Islam can win a conventional war against Israel, but has no chance of winning a WMD war.
All of these reasons amount to Iran and Syria shooting themselves in their heads, hoping the bullet will go through and strike their worst enemy on the opposite side.
They are too cunning to be that stupid!

Israel vulnerable to chemical attack

The home front is woefully under-protected from the dangers of a chemical weapons attack, according to a damning report released on Monday by a subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee headed by Likud MK Yuval Steinitz.
The report’s authors are urging that NIS 1 billion be spent this year to ensure that residents of Haifa and the North are provided with gas masks and other equipment in case of a chemical attack.
The system by which gas masks have been collected from Israeli citizens to be renewed and stored in warehouses for distribution in the event of an emergency is flawed, according to the report.
Assur ances th
at such a distribution could be completed in a few days, if necessary, are empty, the report said. In fact, distribution would take many weeks, it said.
Former OC Home Front Command Maj.-Gen. Zeev Livne, told Army Radio on Monday that while the situation was not “particularly good,” there was no need to worry.
Livne said that gas masks should be collected en masse and handed out only in the face of an imminent threat.
“Assuming that what’s [in the report] is correct, the situation isn’t encouraging regarding protection from chemical weapons. However, there is no need for hysteria… but [rather] to act, and I know that steps are being taken,” the commander said.
