Cognitive Dissonance: Hamas, Hezbollah, Israel and the Elefunt in the Room
Mix in some Iranian ballistic missiles, then what
Long before he met with his overdue demise last week, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, offered a theological explanation for why Israel had come into existence.
“The Jews will gather from all parts of the world into occupied Palestine,” he said in a 2002 speech, of which there is an audio recording. “Not to bring about the Antichrist and the end of the world but rather that Allah the glorified and most high wants to save you from having to go to the ends of the world, for they have gathered in one place — they have gathered in one place — and there the final and decisive battle will take place.”
In other words, Israel was a one-stop-shop for killing all Jews. According to the New York Times, “Why we need to escalate in Iran”.
The continuing tit-for-tat, tick-tack-toe game must continue. The timer is running, much like the chess game timer in which opposing gamers must move or lose a turn. So, just how much time has Israel before the game expires? What if Israel does not respond, and just continues building another dead zone between Lebanon and Israel?
Iran has officially entered the fray launching a barrage of another sort, ballistic missiles, lobbying them from Iran to its ‘hole-in-one’ target, Israel.
The United States has given its permission to retaliate by any means save for attacking Iran’s nuclear facility physically. A cyberattack such as Stuxnet ( Stuxnet reportedly destroyed numerous centrifuges in Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility by causing them to burn themselves out ). Israel has already shown how it is creative with cyberattacks.
Perhaps a game of Thermonuclear War could be arranged between Israel and Iran in which a Trojan horse could turn off the power grid in Iran.
