Anyone who thinks the Iran nuclear deal would have prevented the Islamic Republic of Iran from ultimately striking Israel is naive or self-deluded beyond redemption. This rocket fire into Israel, however, is likely to strengthen European dhimmi leaders’ resolve to keep the nuclear deal alive and appease the Iranian mullahs at all costs — not because they care if Israel is hit, but because they don’t want the mullahs to be angry. It’s bad for their business interests.
“Israel strikes Iranian targets in Syria in response to rocket fire,” BBC, May 10, 2018:
Israel says it has struck almost all of Iran’s military infrastructure in Syria, in response to an Iranian rocket attack on the occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military said 20 rockets were fired by Iranian Revolutionary Guards at its positions overnight.
It retaliated by targeting what it said were Iranian weapons depots, logistics sites and intelligence centres.
There was no immediate comment from Iran, which has sent troops to Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad.
Syrian state media reported that the army’s air defences had repelled an “Israeli aggression” on Syrian territory, shooting down scores of missiles.
But a military source told the official Sana news agency that some missiles had hit a number of air defence battalions, radars and an ammunition depot….

Moshe says
This is just one man’s opinion, but I was deeply moved on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, when former President Barack Obama addressed a packed synagogue in New York City to affirm that “I’m basically a liberal Jew.”
According to news reports, America’s transformational still-young and charismatic leader gave a “rousing speech” at Temple Emanu-El on the Upper East Side. He told the crowd that our current political climate, is suffering from “truth decay,” especially in relation to his record on Israel and the Middle East.
President Obama, who commands the respect and admiration of the majority of Americans, told the Congregation that his Administration gave Israel more military aid than any other previous administration. “It is not a subject for dispute,” Pres. Obama said with evident conviction.
“To be a true friend of Israel it is important to be honest about it, and the politics of this country sometimes do not allow for it,” Obama said. He urged American Jews to “be kind, be useful, be a little fearless” in their approach to Zionism.
President Obama is a true friend of Israel. Nonetheless, he did not evaluate in his address to the synagogue (or elsewhere, to my knowledge) whether his Administration’s military aid to Israel was equal to, less than or greater than what might be purchased or developed internally by Iran for the $150 billion dollars given to this struggling nation by the historic Iran Deal.
Is arming both sides truly a sign of wisdom in foreign policy? Although this question deserves consideration, I fully agree with President Obama that the far more important question is whether these policies affirm the self-worth of the diverse peoples of the region.
It might be argued, however, that the vast accumulation of sophisticated arms in Israel, Syria and Lebanon — supplied by many nations and in part in the hands of independent terror groups — is creating a dangerous powder keg that could explode in the coming months, leading to a terrible and tragic death toll in the region.
But this would be the fault of Donald Trump.
Linda says
Just to remind you, Obama may be “still-young and charismatic”, but he is no longer the “leader”. He is no longer “President”. That title now belongs to “Donald Trump” as you refer to him. That is President Donald J Trump.
Moshe says
It is so hard to remember this.
Samal Rishon says
Actually, as an Israeli, I think all that’s happening is due to Obama’s devastating policies. So no, he isn’t a “true friend of Israel”, even if he sincerely believes this himself. Thanks to his doubtful policies we are facing a new war. Israel doesn’t need such “friends”, whose advice it is to be “useful” (to whom?) and be quiet while enemies are trying to kill its citizens. No, thanks. He and his team had done everything in order to endanger Israel – consciously or not, it doesn’t matter. So again – no, we don’t want this dhimmi-style friendship. Our lives are a bit more important than Obama’s and his supporters’ political opinions, don’t you think so?
Linda says
Barack Obama had his two terms. He can’t have more. President Trump may receive the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace to places like Korea. That’s a lot to look forward to.
Mark Swan says
No Moshe—President Obama does not have the support of most Americans—
if that were remotely true Mrs. Clinton would have won the presidency—
She did not—like it or not President Trump is a breath of fresh air, allowing
the American people a rest from the establishment that has suffocated the
nation.
Sure if you like division, special treatment to undeserving false victims, our
international enemies emboldened, a weakened economy, unconstitutional
law, political correctness, embedded Muslim Brotherhood and other Muslim
enemies, marginalized freedom, disrespect for American culture—
and the list goes on—Then President Obama is your man.
It will take ever so long to put right what this reckless man has already helped
accomplish—he said he would change things, a real winner for sure.
Keys says
Excellent retort to Moshe, Mark Swan.
Mark Swan says
Thank you Keys.

Michael says
Dear Linda, all reffering to Obama was highly ironical
Older Canadian says
Moshe. It appears you are another wishful thinker. I wish you were right, but history for the jews, especially for the past 2000 years says something else. Obama is a typical politican in that to say what he means is not necessarily to mean what he says. Although all politicians do it, in various doses, Obama is a master at it. He was only pandering for votes for the democrates in this recent speech. Read between the lines, do your own research on the statistics he stated, and while you are at it check out the bio’s of his so called right hand people when he was in power. Then get prepared to become a tad doubtful of the man you so admire.
J D S says
Obummer was elected ONLY because he Is BLACK,well part black, It was the time for a black president…..He had no credentials..He did nothing in state or federal governments. He just seemed to. APPEAR, out of nothings….No one till this day really knows very much about him or where his money to run races for political office…Well of course there’s Soros and some others..
He was groomed to be what he was…someone who could destroy the American way of life and he pretty much did it.
A good president…well NO! If he had been a good president then the one to replace him would have probably been our first woman president. Hmmmm..? In that case Would it be a inappropriate to thank God he was a bad president? Perplexed!
Michael says
I perceived Moshe’ admirationof Obama as highly ironical
Tom says
Moshe please don’t be duped, as so many before you have been, by the silver tongue and charisma of Barrack Obama. Obama has proven his loyalties lay not with the jews or Israel, but with the Islamists and legt wing Soros supporters.
There have been millions killed because of “Charismatic” leaders in history, the jews’ experience under Hitler is but one example.
Open your eyes and actually see what is before you.
No Muzzies Here says
Your admiration for the failed president is misplaced.

HAHA Moshe, you clown, very funny
wm1 says
Ask any sane and sober non-leftist, Jewish person in Israel which one they’d prefer: ‘Record’ military aid from Obama or Israel’s ability to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities which will be, most certainly, used to produce nuclear weapons to destroy the ‘Little Satan?’ In Iran’s own words, “Wipe Israel off the face of the map.”
When the leader of Israel sought to launch attacks to destroy those facilities, years ago, guess who stopped him?
Who threatened to shoot IDF planes from the sky if he did? Your ‘charismatic’ idol…Obama
Cmon man…you sound brighter than that!
Obama hoodwinked and bamboozled you and others like you (for 8 long years) into thinking he was a ‘friend’ of Israel when, in fact, he’s one of your worst enemies!
Just look at where we are now, at this very moment, in the Middle East.
The fuel for World War III is being ignited.
Who stood idly by and let the coalition of Syria, Iran and Russia calculatedly plot, plan and prepare to destroy Israel? Was it President Trump? No. It was your sweet, precious friend Obama. Get a clue.

I urge you, Sir, to be more open to dialogue and a gracious exchange of perspectives, even in these difficult times.

More trolling…
Mark Swan says
Moshe,
If you are against the intent of Islam for the free World—you are among like
minds here.
Condescension is an insincere approach to others—snobby behavior towards
others showing you consider yourself some how socially or intellectually
superior—this is actually very indicative of Muslim reasoning.
If you think of this as an original approach to disrupt the theme of the thread—
it is not— it has been tried here so many times and does not yield the desired
affect you might be hoping for.
Joe says
You describe BO as charismatic. I have always seen him homosexual crack-head. Who but a crack-head speaks and thinks so slowly? Can’t you see his embarrassing interest in sex which he can’t hide because of his drug induced mental state?
DirkaDirka says
Throughout history only one thing has solved more disputes than any other method. I’m sorry to tell you that ‘dialogue’ is not that one thing.
David M says
Obama is a globalist puppet, a socialist who loves Islam & a liar. His father & step father were both Muslims, under Muslim rules that made him a Muslim too. He did everything he could to promote Islam & denounce Christianity. He & his transgender wife Michelle (Michael) Obama deceived a whole nation, especially you.
Phantomfighter says
Your moral equivalencies that you posit sicken me. If Israel’s small little sliver the size of New Jersey in the vast middle east surrounded by enemies sworn to it’s destruction is just “diversity”, then you my friend are sick in the head. And Obama never learned or studied anything “Jewish”. He in fact spent time in African Madrassas (Islamic schools), Declared that the “most beautiful sound is the morning Islamic call to prayer” (his quote) and in fact wears a traditional Muslim fellowship ring inscribed with important muslim prayers. You are a moron to be so blind.

PJG says
Is Moshe’s view so obnoquious?
Are you people brainwashed beyond redemption?
I’m not sure if what he said is right, but surely his view is worth a listen?
Is Israel beyond criticism to you people?
Mark Swan says
PJG,
His views are his—your views are in-line with his—but you go one step
farther you want to slander those who do not agree (“Are you people
brainwashed beyond redemption?”)—not what anyone would call congenial .
Believe it or not this site is strongly about free speech.
But it is jihad that is the primary theme.
Ah Yes, Israel—how dare anyone defend a Nation that has been Ostracized
beyond humanity—by those who hate the Jewish People—a people who have
collectively done nothing to deserve this—instead have proven disproportional
contribution to this World.
Please!
gravenimage says
I see that the increasingly appalling PJG–who actually used to be an Anti-Jihadist–now considers Iran launching rockets at Israel to be “criticism”. *Ugh*.
gravenimage says
And one last thing–note that PJG has *nothing* critical to say about the bloody Mullahs’ unprovoked attack on Israel.
One wonders *what else* she condones about them–hanging gay people from cranes? Screaming “Death to America!”? Stoning women to death?
Granddaddy says
If there is anyone at fault here, it is Islam teaching hate and war. Israel has every right to defend itself and it’s about time they did. Good for them!
strats4ever says
Just saw a young (female) retired IDF soldier on youtube sum up the Arab/Israeli conflict in one simple statement:
If one side puts down their guns the war is over. If the other side puts down their guns, every Jew in Israel dies.
Straight to the point.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
It is not true, Iranian revolutionary guards never launch rocket attacks, they launch devastating random attacks when Fascist evil zionists launch any attack on Iranian troops. Coward evil zionists will not attempt such mistake, because they know the consequence.
Samal Rishon says
You know what’s good about it, Ibrahim? It is that even if Israel loses the war (which is doubtful), you guys won’t gain anything. That’s because endless lies and living on borrowed knowledge and technology can’t continue forever. Even if you beat your enemies, you can’t live in peace with yourselves. Ayatollahs’ regime is doomed, whatever IRGC does. Israel is a democratic, free country, we love life and freedom, we love our families and our country. That’s why we will win, and you will lose, suffocated by your stupid hatred and traditional Islamic inability to accept another opinion and worldview. In short, you battle is lost before it begins. Cheers from Israel.

Ibrahim, we understand you it isn’t ISLAMOFASCISM when the MULLAHOCRACY believes like HITLER’S JUNTA, calling for the destruction of Jews.

He is so illiterate that it is difficult to tell for sure, but it seems that Ibrahim itace muhammed is saying that Iran would only attack in self defence.
But this is ridiculous–they are always screaming about wiping Israel off the map. Moreover, Ibrahim itace muhammed has himself said how much he looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.

Hey EEbrahin you illiterate F**K,
They’re called the ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORP……there’s no “Iranian” there.

What crap from Ibrahim itace muhammed.
Israelis living peacefully at home is not launching “attack on Iranian troops”.
mortimer says
Saudi Arabia and Israel now have a common enemy. Iran is firing missiles at both countries.
Older Canadian says
Mortimer. Yes they do. The saudis and the jews have one thing in common. Their theology although quite different from each other is not correct by iran’s standards. This is just a continuation of the 1400 year war, meanwhile our great western leaders and other talking heads look for, or attempt to justify alternate reasons.
Walter Sieruk says
The people who believe that Iran ‘s military hooligans who are called the “Revolutionary Guards “ have been firing rocket attacks from bases in Syria in Israel as the outcome of President Trump pulling out of that hoax of a nuclear “deal” with Iran seem not to understand that those rockets attack in the Golan Heights are actually the result the Islamic hate by the mullahs , ayatollahs and other malice –filled Muslims in power in Iran who are full and malicious hate for the Jewish State of Israel and Islamic viciousness for the Jewish the people. This “nuclear deal” farce being revoked is just an excuse for this “mullah regime’’ to become violently anti-Israel. As the saying is “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
somehistory says
From MSN: “marking the first time Iranian forces have ever fired directly on Israeli troops.”
Could this be the beginning of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39? The days coming should tell us.
The Scripture names “Persia”…Iran…as an aggressor in the “crowd” going up against Israel.
And this news report says this is “the first time” Iran has directly attacked Israeli troops.
Rarely says
Iran’s aggression has nothing to do with religion. It’s simply a power game. Iran has been working to gain control of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon since the fall of Saddam. Iraq stopped them in the late 1980s but the war cost over a million lives without an inch of land changing hands. However evil Saddam was he blocked Iran from the actions it’s taking today.
Like it or not we can thank Dubya and the invasion of Iraq (justified by the lie about WMDs) for today’s turmoil. Obama, of course, made things many times worse. I imagine that without that terrible miscalculation Colin Powell might have become the next POTUS. Now there’s a man worth supporting.
gravenimage says
I’m afraid the idea that the actions of the millenialist-obsessed Mullahs has nothing to do with Islam and Jihad is much mistaken. There is no strategic reason for Iran to attack Israel–they hate the Israelis because they are free Jews.
