The simulation, conducted by the Interdisciplinary Center in the Israeli city of Herzliya, was based on a scenario in which Iran supplied its proxy, Hizbullah, with a radiation bomb. During the exercise, which employed former diplomats and senior officials, the administration of President Barack Obama prevented an Israeli military operation.
"As far as the United States was concerned, Israel was trigger-happy," former U.S. ambasador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer, who played Obama, said. "It sought to use the Hizbullah attack as a justification for what the United States was told would be an all-out war."
Organizers said the simulation was based on a scenario employed by Harvard University in early 2010. In the Harvard exercise, Washington imposed heavy pressure on Israel to block any response to a Hizbullah strike on the Defense Ministry and military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
"Iran deterrence proved dizzyingly effective," former Israel Air Force commander Maj. Gen. Eitan Ben-Eliahu, who participated in the simulation, said.
The latest simulation enacted heavy pressure by Obama on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the exercise, Obama forced Netanyahu to agree to an international, rather than Israeli, response to a Hizbullah radiation bomb.
"This would be a very serious act of war with serious losses of life and would be seen this way by the public," former Israeli ambassador and Netanyahu confidant Zalman Shoval, who played the prime minister, said. "As prime minister, I would call for the opposition to join an emergency coalition government and hold a conversation with the president of the United States. We would expect the United States to make clear decisions in regard to an umbrella defense for us in the region."
Organizers said the simulation was based on the assessment that Netanyahu as well as his defense minister, Ehud Barak, could be stopped by Washington from launching a major attack on Hizbullah and Syria. During the scenario, they said, Netanyahu was urged by Arab adversaries of Iran to launch war against Hizbullah.
kind of odd this has been up for an hour and not 1 post yet
ReplyDeleteAmericans are afraid to comment on any article pertaining to Jews or Israel.

ReplyDeleteThey are taking out the rest of the world. The so-called Christian Americans are doing it for our Jewish run and controlled U.S. Government.
Wake up you silly one-footed person!

ReplyDeleteThank you for stating the obvious. People like 11:47 are so rude. Just because she doesn't understand your point, she finds it necessary to say something . . . well, silly.
3:16 Funny I don't see Jews flying planes into buildings, I also don't hear of suicide bombers that are Jewish, nor have I heard of Jews blowing up our ships. Get in your handout line behind Obama

ReplyDeleteGood try. How about Jews buying the World Trade Center complex for pennies on the dollar one month prior to some Muslim patsies taking the fall for a remote control hijacking which flew planes into buildings - and then, in true Jewish fashion, making a killing off the insurance payout?
How about Jewish Money-Changing and illegally "printing" our currency into oblivion through a nefarious takeover of the world's entire banking system?
How about that Usury (Jewery)?
How about the complete stranglehold on Hollywood, Las Vegas, and New York City by Jewish mafioso?
How about that Marxism, Bolshevism, and Trotskyism - all Jewish!
Gosh, we could go on and on. Keep that skull cap tight because the ghost of Goyim Past is going to slide into your head when you least expect it.
remote controled planes..... OMG and for a second I thought maybe you might have something to say..ROFL remote controled planes... that's a new one. I wonder what happen to all those people on those planes, they just went POOF and are gone.
ReplyDeleteRemote controlled planes are not new. It has been around since the 1970's (as far as the general public is aware).
ReplyDeletePlanes going poof and having no evidence of ever existing at all? Yes at the Pentagon on 091101. That goes for the seats, luggage, blood, engines, wheels, all of it gone POOF in a magic puff of smoke.
You are sooooo smart to know that. Bet you know all about building 7 also?
