QUICK NOTE ON GEORGIA/RUSSIA WAR & ISRAEL

by Bernard J. Shapiro

Russia invades Georgia to pursue its national interest.
Israel does the opposite. It pursues the national interest of its enemies.

The Russians act, while the Israel talk, warn, threaten, scream, leak, and generally are always whining about what is being done to them.

The number of stupid things Israel has done that harm its citizens is tremendous. Consider:
1. Giving up the oil fields of Sinai
2. Reviving the PLO
3. Giving "so called" palestinians the right to Eretz Yisrael and the Temple Mount
4. Expelling productive good Jews to aid Hamas terrorists
5. Denying human and civil rights to Jews in the Land of Israel
6. Giving Arabs superior rights to Jews in the Land of Israel
7. Accepting "banana republic status" with the USA
8. Refusing to fight terrorism until victory
9. Refusing to destroy our enemies world wide
10. Bowing and stooping to anti-Semites world wide

Read the article below and see Israel's stupid strategic policy first hand. Why warn Russia so they can prepare. Surprise them like in 1982 over Syria and Suez Canal in 1970.

Mind you, I love Israel and I feel pain having to write the above......

Israel warns Russia: sell advance anti-aircraft missile system to Iran and we will develop response that will also strip you of the defense
'We'll neutralize S-300 if sold to Iran'

If Russia goes through with the sale of its most advanced anti-aircraft
missile system to Iran, Israel will use an electronic warfare device now
under development to neutralize it and as a result present Russia as
vulnerable to air infiltrations, a top defense official has told The
Jerusalem Post.
The Russian system, called the S-300, is one of the most advanced
multi-target anti-aircraft-missile systems in the world today and has a
reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up
to 12 at the same time. It has a range of about 200 kilometers and can hit
targets at altitudes of 27,000 meters.
While Russia has denied that it sold the system to Iran, Teheran claimed
last year that Moscow was preparing to equip the Islamic Republic with S-300
systems. Iran already has TOR-M1 surface-to-air missiles from Russia.
Mixed media reports have emerged recently regarding the possible delivery of
the system to Iran. Two weeks ago Reuters quoted a senior Israeli official
who said the system would be delivered to Iran by the end of the year. In
response, the Pentagon released a statement rejecting the assessment and
saying that the US did not believe Iran would get it in 2008.
According to the Israeli defense official who spoke to the Post, "no one
really knows yet if and when Iran will get the system."
A top IAF officer also said this week that Israel needed to do "everything
possible" to prevent the S-300 from reaching the region.
"Russia will have to think real hard before delivering this system to Iran,
which is possibly on the brink of conflict with either Israel or the US,
since if the system is delivered, an EW [electronic warfare] system will
likely be developed to neutralize it, and if that happens it would be
catastrophic not only for Iran but also for Russia," the defense official
said.
Neutralization of one of the main components of Russian air defense would be
a blow to Russian national security as well as to defense exports. "No
country will want to buy the system if it is proven to be ineffective," the
official said. "For these reasons, Russia may not deliver it in the end to
Iran."
Also on Thursday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told an Italian paper that a
nuclear Iran would be "dangerous to world order."
Barak emphasized that all options for dealing with threat of a nuclear
Teheran were "open and ready," and stressed the importance of "strengthening
and accelerating economic sanctions against Iran."
"Either way, we need to keep every option open. If they provoke us, or they
attack us, our army is prepared to attack and to succeed uncompromisingly,"
he asserted in an interview with the daily Corriere della Sera . "It's up to
us to find the best way to get the best result with minimum damage," Barak
added.
"Iran confirmed its message when it stood against the whole world: to
deceive and to reject. Their aim is to obtain an atomic bomb," he continued.
The defense minister also spoke of the results of the Second Lebanon War,
telling the Italian paper, "Two years ago, we saw the price that's paid for
a lack of an experienced leadership. Nevertheless, today we're equipped with
a good understanding to prevent this from happening again."
He added that UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that brought an end to the
war was inefficient since Hizbullah, Syria and Iran were doing what they
wanted in Lebanon.
