De Israelische Terreur 917

Wanneer fluit de wereldgemeenschap Israel eens een keer terug? Waarom mag de 'Joodse natie' wat geen enkele ander land mag? Zodra Israel aanvalt is Iran gerechtigd terug te slaan om zichzelf te verdedigen. Het dringt bij veel van mijn Nederlandse collega's niet echt door dat we inmiddels te maken hebben met een zionistische schurkenstaat die nu de Obama-regering de 'Joodse natie' aan banden wil leggen alles in het werk zal stellen om door te gaan met het veroveren van Palestijns gebied. Het heeft er nu alle schijn van dat Israel een incident probeert uit te lokken. We zullen zien.

Ja, stel dat er had gestaan:
Iranian navy in Suez Canal prepares for potential attack on Israel
Dan stond de hele internationale gemeenschap op zijn kop en zaten de bommenwerpers al in de lucht.

Ter overweging:

United Nations' Charter, article 2, paragraph 4: All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.

In 1950, the Nuremberg Tribunal defined Crimes against Peace in Principle VIa as
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).

Defense official: Israel readying for attack on Iran

Israel's recent deployment of warships across the Red Sea should be seen as serious preparation for an attack on Iran, an Israeli defense official told the Times of London on Thursday.

"This is preparation that should be taken seriously. Israel is investing time in preparing itself for the complexity of an attack on Iran. These maneuvers are a message to Iran that Israel will follow up on its threats," the official was quoted as saying.

Earlier this week, two Israel Navy gunboats openly sailed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea.

The ships that passed through the Suez Canal on Tuesday were two Sa'ar 5 gunboats, the Hanit and the Eilat. This follows a similar incident in late June, when an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine passed through the canal, later returning the same way.

The move, apparently coordinated with Egypt, is seen as a warning message to Middle Eastern radicals, first and foremost Iran.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit confirmed the crossings and said that Cairo's agreements with Jerusalem permit Israeli military ships to transit the canal. He declined to speculate on whether the voyage was meant as a warning to Iran or anyone else.

While Israeli naval ships have gone through Suez before, the last such occurrence was at least a year ago.

An Israeli diplomat told the Times that Israel's has been bolstering its ties with certain Arab nations just as wary of the Iranian nuclear threat. In particular, the diplomat cited a "shared mutual distrust of Iran" between Israel and Egypt.

Though neither side says so publicly, there is ongoing security coordination between Israel and Egypt, which could be expanded if necessary in the future.

Israel has an interest in a naval presence in the Red Sea for two reasons: the effort to halt arms smuggling from Iran to the Gaza Strip - which, according to international media reports, mainly takes place by sea from Iran to Sudan, and then overland via Egypt, and the effort to bolster its deterrence against Iran in the event of a direct conflict breaking out.
