War drums beat, but Israel ‘ill equipped’ for threats

April 24, 2012 07:15

The temperature’s rising in Israel – not just over a possible clash with Iran, but also over a threat of chemical weapons from Syria. Israelis are worried their country is unprepared for war, and doesn’t even have enough gas masks and shelters.

Don't you acknowledge that it is high time to receive the mortgage loans, which can realize your dreams.

The Zionist state sure has its special undercover forces at work in Syria. See the hundreds of targated assassinations of Syrian generals, politicians, scientists, inventors, university professors, lawyers and judges, and even spotspeople. The bombings which killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Damascus, Idleb and other parts of the country all bear a Mossad trade-mark. Those disillusioned patsies who honestly believe the lies of the Zionist tyrants of the Arab Gulf States and their evil deceptors, the Grand Muftis of these brutal totalitarian tyrannies that by toppling the democratically elected government of Syria and its reform president Assad they would be making some victory over Zionism are day dreaming. Toppling Assad is putting Syria under Zionist domination and saying goodbye to Palestine, the Golan heighgts and to Islam.

Israel is very very ready for war. They have just overlooked the survival part.

This looks more like a kremlin wishlist of what will happen than anything solid. Oh well, RT knows what its people want to hear, a constant negitive stream of news about America and Israel, as well as sick fantasies of their downfall and the killing of their citizens.

Its sad that the russian people spend so much time reading garbage like this rather than addressing the huge numbers of problems in their own nation.

Go ahead and hit the minus button, it wont change the facts.

Assad should use every bit of his vast chemical weapons supply on Apartheid Israel should the evil Zionists continue their war on Syria.

Assad should remember what happened to Saddam and Gadhafi after both choose to not use the full extent of their weapons stockpiles and abilitys against their attackers, they were either executed or assassinated.

If the goose stepping Satanically evil Zionists leading Apartheid Israel are not equipped to deal with the rightous response from Syrian's ballistic and cruise missile battery's it's certainly not from any lack of obtaining 100's of Billions worth of US free weapons, equipment and Cash.

Such a squeal from the utterly evil Zionists leading Apartheid Israel is nothing but yet another spew for free cash and donations to promote their entirely evil agendas.

Jews around the world should realise the evil Zionist agendas includes killing off the 10's of thousands of Iranian Jews residing in Iran.

America should not sacrifice any more of it's son's, daughters and treasure to the promotion of the Satanically evil Zionist agendas, no more. America does not protect infernal powers and utterly corrupt sadist leaders agendas. Russia, China and Pakistan have pledged to attack any attacker that strikes Iran.

Gas masks are useless without the full MOPP gear.  VX nerve gas is absorbed through the skin and it only takes just a few molecules of the poison to kill.  Also, years ago I heard that Israel has something called the "Sampson Option" where if they are going down, they will launch their nukes on every major city in the world, espically in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, and themselves with the attitude that if they can't have the "holy land", no one will.  Not sure if it's true, but it amazes me that the world makes such a big deal of a cesspool of a city like Jerusalem.  OK, so the historical sites are important, otherwise, who cares?

I think the timing of development in israel was wrong. Now Israel got developed well. But it also means Israel cannot restart the war easily. If Israel restart the war, Israel won't avoid the cause of damages at buildings and plants they developed so long. Nations normally consider such loss(also money). I personally feel that the environment in Israel is actually quite bad. Air pollution and radiation leak are indeed but not well-known for people. I also consider that Israel have the lack of resolution against the propaganda "anti-zionism" by christian and Arabic forces. I never believe in conspiracy theory books seriously. But the internet has spread such cheap propaganda easily. We take a look carefully.

A nation with a gas-mask laying ready by every bed, and a bomb shelter beneath every home, will gain only one thing:

MASS PARANOIA - A CULTURE OF FEAR

A people kept permanently in such frightened state are so easily controlled by their fear. Thus, Netanyahu will continue to do unspeakable evils in their name.

So Israel does not want to be the first to introduce the nuclear weapons in the Middle East!! And this incompetent journalist let him get away with this comment!. The news to both of them is that Israel is already the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East!! They already have close to 400 warheads, and now they are talking about Iran not being allowed to defend itself if the Nazi Israelis attack it! I was also waiting for this incapable journalist to ask this arrogant in what way Iran is a threat to Israel or USA? When did Iran attack Americans, Israelis or any other nations since they defended themselves against the mental Saddam Hussein? On the other hand, when did USA or Israel stop attacking and killing others Palestinians, Leban ese, Afghans, Africans, Middle Easterners and Latin Americans etc.. These two countries are the terrorists of the world!
