Yossi Klein Halevi says in the New Republic: "America, even under George Bush,
is hardly likely to go to war to stop a program many Americans now believe
doesn't exist.
An Insult to Intelligence
The Israeli defense community responds to the NIE.

Extract:
Until now, pessimists here could console themselves that a last-resort Israeli
attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would likely draw wide international
sympathy and even gratitude -very different from the near-total condemnation that
greeted Israel's attack on Saddam's reactor in 1981. Now, though, the nie will
ensure that if Israel does attack, it will be widely branded a warmonger, and
faulted for the inevitable fallout of rising oil prices and increased terror.
The sense of betrayal within the Israeli security system is deep. After all,
Israel's great achievement in its struggle against Iran was in convincing the
international community that the nuclear threat was real; now that victory has
been undone -not by Russia or the European Union, but by Israel's closest ally"
2. Palestinian Muslims Persecute
Christians
What Should We all expect (at the least) under Muslim Rule.
Brit-Am Note: The impression gained from talking to "Arab" Christians is that the claims of mistreatment below are if anything UNDERSTATEMENTS!
We received a report of the kidnapping, and torture by Palestinian Muslims of
Arab Christian youths.
The Arab Christians are Arab-speaking and often identify as Arabs. They are
sometimes of recent Italian, Greek, French, and other European ancestry. In some cases their ancestry dates back to that of
Byzantine and earlier times from before the Arab conquest. In other cases they
may relate to the Crusaders.
This however is not exceptional in the Arab world since a significant proportion of the Moslem so-called "Palestinians" have a much more recent ancestry having
come from North Africa, Bosnia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, etc.

Over the past five years, Israel Resource News Agency has gathered documentation
which shows evidence of official Palestinian Authority persecution of the
Christian population in its midst, while the official new constitution of the PA
for a future state would not not allow any juridical status for Judaism or for
Christianity.
On December 26th, 2007, IRNA dispatched two top reporters to spend Christmas
week in Bethlehem to examine allegations of official persecution of Christians
in Bethlehem at the hands of the PA:
(1. Land Grab of Christian lands - Christian loss of land to their PA rulers,
which is forcing a Christian exodus from the city, which is now less than 20
percent Christian.
(2. Blackmail to PA/gangs - How Christians have to pay blackmail to the PA and
gangs for protection.
(3. Rapes - How Christian women are harassed repeatedly by Moslems in Bethlehem
and in nearby villages. .
(4. Conversion - forced conversion and kidnapping also occurs, from
Chrisitanity to Islam .
(5. Sharia - Under the PA , Sharia, or Islamic law is enforced, changing
Palestinian Christian's lives. This type of Sharia demands that Christians live
as second class citizens and if they do not accept, they face violence and
beatings. When the Papal Nuncio in Jerusalem exposed the new Palestinian
Authority constitution, in April, 2003 to a visiting US Congressional
delegation, his comment was that this constitution denies juridical status for
any religion outside of Islam. That is the constitution proposed by the Fatah,
not by the Hamas.
What Should The Solution Be?
Answer: A humane transfer of ALL Arab Populations in Israel to North Africa or to Somewhere in the Western Hemisphere.
Possibly Argentina or Brazil?
