A Major Reason for Most of Saber Rattling by Iran and Friends,
They are Running Scared of an attack on Iranian Nuke Sites,
Because odds are increasing Israel IAF is Likely to DO SO!
Behind Closed Doors Most Arabs are Hoping Israel WILL
DO IT to stop the Shiite Persian threat against Sunnis!

Quote from Atlantic Monthly by an Israeli official who spends considerable time with PM Netanyahu:
“In World War II, the Jews had no power to stop Hitler from annihilating us.
Six million were slaughtered. Today, 6 million Jews live in Israel, and someone is threatening them with annihilation.
But now we have the power to stop them.”
End Quote
Prophetically speaking, four million of those Jews will die in the end time war, and two million will remain surrounded in the Negev Wilderness for some 1260 days prior to the battle of Armageddon, when their Messiah makes His Second Advent.
Israel (king of the south) will push across its northern border into the territory of greater Syria (Syria & Lebanon), but will be driven south into its own Wilderness of the Negev by a well planned counterattack by the king of the north (Syria).
Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass
over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown:.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

‘More than 50% chance of attack on Iran’

‘Atlantic’ polls Israeli officials about likelihood of strike.
The chance that Israel will launch a military strike against Iran before next July is over 50 percent, according to an article to be published in the upcoming issue of the journal the Atlantic. The article’s author, Jeffrey Goldberg, gleaned this information from interviews he conducted over the last year-and-a-half with forty current and past Israeli decision makers.
Goldberg claimed to have spoken with people in and out of government from various political parties. The consensus among them was that Iran is one to three years away from the being able to create a nuclear weapon. This fact, coupled with Iran’s publicly displayed animosity toward Israel, makes a nuclear Islamic republic a threat to Israel’s existence, and therefore a likely c
andidate to face an Israeli military strike.
Goldberg added that a strike by Israel against an enemy’s nuclear program would not be unprecedented, citing the 1981 strike against Iraq’s nuclear reactor and the 2007 destruction of Syria’s nuclear reactor.
He added that sources close to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had said that the premier has little faith in the ability of international sanctions passed against Iran to deter the Islamic republic from developing nuclear weapons.
The officials interviewed by Goldberg also did not believe that a military strike on Iran from the US under Barack Obama was likely, even in the event that Teheran’s nuclear capabilities were at a very advanced state. Not even the hawkish former US president George W.
Bush advocated a strike against Iran, so they found it difficult to believe that the dovish Obama would launch an attack. This would increase the likelihood that Israel would see itself as
the only barrier between a nuclear Iran and the rest of the world, they said.
The author also added that Netanayhu had told him in the past that the fear is not only of a direct attack from Iran, but also from the power a nuclear Islamic republic would give Teheran’s proxies, Hizbullah and Hamas.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Goldberg that another of Israel’s fears is that a nuclear Iran would force mass emigration of Israelis.
Goldberg said that not all of the officials he spoke with believed an attack on Iran was a viable option for Israel. He said that numerous sources told him that IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi doubts the usefulness of an Israeli strike on Iran.

A Nuclearized Iran: Approaching the Point of No Return
Jeffrey Goldberg (Atlantic Monthly)
The U.S. Central Command, whose area of responsibility is the greater Middle East, has already asked the Pentagon what to do should Israeli aircraft invade Iraq’s airspace on their way to Iran. According to multiple sources, the answer came back: do not shoot them down.
If a strike does succeed in crippling the Iranian nuclear program, Israel will have removed from its list of existential worries the immediate specter of nuclear-weaponized, theologically driven, eliminationist anti-Semitism; it may derive for itself the secret thanks of the Middle East’s moderate Arab regimes, all of which fear an Iranian bomb with an intensity that in some instances matches Israel’s; and it will have succeeded in countering the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, which is a prime goal of the enthusiastic counter-proliferator who currently occupies the White House.
Israel has twice before successfully attacked and destroyed an enemy’s nuclear program. In 1981, Israeli warplanes bombed the Iraqi reactor at Osirak, halting – forever, as it turned out – Saddam Hussein’s nuclear ambitions; and in 2007, Israeli planes destroyed a North Korean-built reactor in Syria.
Iran is, at most, one to three years away from having a breakout nuclear capability (often understood to be the capacity to assemble more than one missile-ready nuclear device within about three months of deciding to do so). The Iranian regime, by its own statements and actions, has made itself Israel’s most zealous foe; and the most crucial component of Israeli national-security doctrine is that no regional adversary should be allowed to achieve nuclear parity with the reborn and still-besieged Jewish state.
“You don’t want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs,” Netanyahu told me in 2009. “When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the world should start worrying, and that’s what is happening in Iran.” “Iranian leaders talk about Israel’s destruction or disappearance while simultaneously creating weapons to ensure its disappearance.”
An Israeli official who spends considerable time with the prime minister told me: “In World War II, the Jews had no power to stop Hitler from annihilating us. Six million were slaughtered. Today, 6 million Jews live in Israel, and someone is threatening them with annihilation. But now we have the power to stop them.”
