Prof. J.P. Golbert
Part of the explanation for Israel’s hesitation in taking out the Iranian nuclear threat seems to be the fear that Israel will not be able to survive the diplomatic fall-out from it. The world will immediately condemn Israel for its “aggression” and even states that fear a nuclear Iran will join in. Sanctions may well be imposed, both diplomatic and economic, and Israel will be utterly isolated. A universal boycott might be imposed. Even collective military action such as was turned against Serbia cannot be ruled out. So goes the fear.
The alternative, however, as Caroline Glick correctly and incisively outlined (“Column One: Keeping Zionism’s promise,” Jerusalem Post, Friday, January 29, 2010) is a slow death imposed incrementally by means of what is called, in Orwellian deceit, the “peace process.” The idea of reliance on the “enlightened nations of the world” to extricate Israel, and indeed the world, from another descent into barbarism and brutality is a vain hope. Europe has decided to surrender and anyway is quite comfortable with the notion that the world is better off without Israel and the Jews. America is currently being led resolutely in the same direction, which anyway was always the orientation of the State Department. Nor is Israel the only country to feel exposed and abandoned by the withdrawal of America power. (See, e.g., Peter Lee, South Korea reels as US backpedals, http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/LG24Dg01.html).
Israel, however, does not have to accede. Israel is not without alternatives or without recourse. Israel is able to go it alone, against the will of the USA, the “Quartet”, the UN and the Arab League. There are several powerful tools in Israel’s hands.
Israeli military technology.
Not many people realize that Israel is the country of innovation in hi-tech munitions and in asymmetrical warfare. Israel is practically in a position to embargo hi-tech weaponry from any country in the world, including the US. The Popeye missile is hardly even the threshold.
Israel’s military technology is very advanced and many of Israel’s technologies and products are unique and superior. The world will not likely boycott them. As the worldwide jihad expands, Israel’s expertise and experience in combating Islamic terror will become a more and more marketable commodity. The non-Islamic world has reason to realize that Israel’s war against Islamic terror is their own war and not colonialist apartheid oppression, as it is portrayed.
Israeli governments seem chronic in their underestimation of the value to the world of Israeli military technology. Israeli electronics took apart the best Soviet made anti-aircraft systems in Syria back in 1967, to the shock of the Soviets. Development of Israeli military technology has accelerated since then. Many of those technologies have been acquired in secret by the United States, in some cases via threats and intimidation.
Likewise, intelligence supplied to the United States by Israel has been invaluable. Yet, to Americans, seeing only billions of dollars of “aid” being given to Israel and not seeing that, in fact, the US gets more than its money’s worth, Israel looks like a beggar at the gate.
On the other side, Israel has come to see itself as a welfare dependent on the American dole. Israel has to insist that acquisition by foreign governments of Israeli arms technology, consultation and training (in urban warfare in Iraq, for example) and other strategic cooperation be done only in public and not secretly. Insisting on legitimacy means refusing to be treated like the “other woman” in order not to offend the Muslim states.
Withstanding international pressures.
Israel need not fear international pressure, even boycotts and sanctions. There are too many other countries in positions similar to Israel’s with regard to Moslem minorities and external defense to isolate Israel for long. India, for one, has growing and developing ties with Israel owing in part to the fact that its history of appeasement of its Moslem minority has not bought it peace and security. It has need of technology sharing and joint projects with Israel and that would likely continue despite international sanctions. Long ago, Israel scrapped the jet fighter project, the Kfir, under US pressure and closed Beit Shemesh Engines. But Israel makes its own rocket engines, which function under more extreme conditions than jet aircraft engines. Israel certainly could also make engines for jet aircraft. India is eager for closer cooperation with Israel and making military aircraft in partnership with India alone would create a market large enough to enjoy economies of scale. China and Japan have found collaboration with Israel very productive for other reasons.
An Israel-India Alignment.
President Obama, in his arrogance, has hectored not only Israel to surrender to Islamic demands, but also India, whom he told that the reason they do not have peace with Pakistan is because India has not surrendered Kashmir. This he could actually say when Pakistan is in grave danger of being taken over by the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
In fact, Israel and India are natural allies in many ways and complementary to each other in many ways. The combined resources, brain power, technology and manufacturing capacity would be a formidable combination from the outset. If ties with India were to be pursued with utmost urgency and Israeli foreign policy reoriented immediately to make India the central point, India could replace both the US and Europe in Israel’s foreign and defense policy.
Additional states for such an alignment.
There are other states that President Obama has already alienated which could be brought into such a grouping. Colombia, with the assistance of Israeli military advisors, is near to victory against Marxist rebels. They have found that President Obama’s emissaries have been in contact with the rebels, even before he was sworn into office, with a view to actually taking their side. Almost the same story is taking place in Sri Lanka.
Taiwan is another pariah state with which Israel might develop important relations. Israel has a choice between Taiwan and China, of course, but China is not averse to doing deals that are inimical to Israel’s vital interests and, if pushed to decide, Israel might consider whether a permanent relationship with Taiwan might not be more advantageous.
Short term strategic cooperation with India. In the immediate future, Israel and India might do something of utmost importance together, that being the twin threats of Iranian nuclear weapons and Pakistani nuclear weapons. The former directly threatens Israel. The latter directly threatens India, particularly if Pakistan becomes a failed state, which it almost is already. If Israel and India help each other, it might be possible to eliminate both nuclear threats. To fly from India might not bring Israel closer to the Iranian nuclear plants but it would have the advantage of not having to cross airspace under American control. It is not clear to me whether it is necessary at all to use manned aircraft for the purpose when Israel has both ballistic missiles and cruise missiles that could do the job.
Nor is it necessary to destroy the nuclear facilities themselves. The nuclear facilities cannot function without infrastructure. They are useless without electricity and water and raw materials. Israel can certainly cripple Iran’s infrastructure, bomb the Majlis and the mullas and the Presidential Palace and even hunt down the scientists involved in the nuclear project. And the same is true of Pakistan.
Of course, the world would be outraged and might even apply serious sanctions against Israel and India. Both Israel and India could withstand those. It would require considerable economic reorientation and restructuring but it is high time that took place anyway. Both countries would emerge stronger, more independent and more democratic for having done so.
Israel can expect to meet concerted opposition from the world to these measures. Israel can be expected to be condemned, vilified and loathed. Israel can even expect that there might be sanctions imposed. On the other hand, submission and obsequiousness and “goodwill gestures,” “confidence building measures,” territorial concessions, unconditional unilateral withdrawal from southern Lebanon and Gaza and restraint have brought nothing but condemnation, vilification and loathing, deligitimation and calls for Israel’s destruction (meaning genocide) when it defended itself. As long as Israel still exists, more concessions will be demanded of her. In contrast, Israeli and Jewish prestige and acceptance were never higher than following the Six-Day War when the nations feared and respected Israel.
The same is true of India. Who believes that territorial demands on India would cease if India were to relinquish Kashmir? “Mughalistan” is already an objective with a plan to separate the whole of northern India into a continuous Muslim state incorporating everything from Pakistan to the eastern border of India and even a part of the coast of Myanmar. (See http://factindiablog.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/moghulistan/ )
Nor would demands stop there. India, like Israel, was under Islamic rule for centuries and is, therefore, in Dar al Islam, the domain of Islam and Muslims consider India’s existence illegitimate and an affront to Islam. Anything resembling peace can only be achieved the way Spain and Portugal achieved it for five centuries and that is by being so strong for so long that the Muslims take it off the agenda for the foreseeable future. In the age of global jihad, it will not even come off the agenda but there is nothing to be gained from trying to appease it.
Kendraa:
If you really believe what you say then rebut this: Once we accept the right of individuals to any behavior in the privacy of their homes as long as it is not harmful to others, there is no conceivable reason to ban consensual adult incest. Is there? What interest in nuclear family do societies have that allow homosexual marriage? The rampant divorce rate shows that childbirth does not strictly correlate to the strength of families. Besides, economically attractive societies can always achieve any desired population growth through immigration. Sparta was reportedly strong without a nuclear family. Whatever the case, internal migration and hedonism made the nuclear family almost extinct in the West: children live far from their parents, speak to grandparents a few times a year, marry late, and divorce often. Why ban polygamy?
The only argument against bestiality is animal rights. So a man can kill a sheep, flay it, and eat it—but not have sex with it?
Lets explore the Libertarian viewpoint: End the state’s regulation of moral matters, but allow the hate speech. Thus, anyone could marry a sheep, but everyone can call him a pervert and suggest ostracizing him. The liberal policy can never be consistent, as societies would always have to enforce some moral norms on behalf of the vast majority (but not all) of their citizens. Governments can, for example, allow public nudity, but it is unlikely that they would allow public urination.
Some values are non-negotiable and cannot be repealed by a democratic majority. The law, for example, bans voluntary slavery: a person cannot sell himself into slavery, though undoubtedly millions of Africans would be happy to sell themselves to Iowa farmers. The law, however, rejects voluntary slavery even if 99 percent of the population would support it. The prohibition of voluntary slavery is exceedingly dubious, but it is nevertheless enshrined in the law. Even so, basic moral norms deserve republican protection instead of being submitted to democratic decision-making.
Extreme movements break any mechanical system fast. Extreme behavior is similarly dangerous to societies.
If you have read ayn reagan’s comments you know damn well she was pro Israel and never took ayn rands philosophy to your extreme. She was not a libertarian and thought them nutty freaks. ( my term) She was not isolationist anything but.
I suggest you read them again.

Kendraa so far I haven’t recognized any right wing positions in your comments and nobody attacks you over being pro American except that your pro American positions are quite patriotic from a left wing nihilist perspective.
Nobody’s arguing with your libertarian ideas; I’m an Ayn Rand fan myself, and I believe the less government the better.
BUT – it’s your ‘way-off-the-top assumptions that seem to be sticking in everybody’s throats. And also your fits of illogic. You’re not being attacked for being pro-American; just for being anti-Israel.
No matter how libertarian a person is, insulating oneself from situations that will almost certainly harm both you and your country is not the answer to what’s going on around us.
If you’ve ever read the Bhagavad Gita…
I finding It deeply troubling that I am being attacked from all sides for being pro- American, and wishing the best for my country. What is absolutely wierd is that I am being attacked for my right wing views on a supposedly right wing site. And even more wierd is the charge that I am a vile lattke and a some sort of sauce that does not go with Lattkes (hp). I am being analyzed and found wanting (self hating) that I am someone other than who I am and should be ejected immediately.
All of this in two days of postings. What do you people do if a real honest to goodness left wing antisemitic Arab Hamas sympathizer should venture forth on your turf ?
Better that than a kick-ass broad?
Yamit – they all read from the same playbook; not an original thought or idea comes from them. All pap.
The one thing the US could do to make things better, is get out of Israel’s way and let the Israelis take care of things the way the US ought to have done in the first place.
Looks as if kendraa (now the centre of everyone’s attention, much to her delight) appears to have forgotten that the US was attacked in 2001, and this is the reason for its (half-baked) response in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’ll see how “rational” she is when the US is attacked again and certain people are after her ass… and not in the way she appears to like…
And as for this (kendraa) –
Don’t make me laugh…
Joy: If you don’t agree with me, Explain to me why did Sarah adopt the name Ayn? You can speculate as much as you like about me, but can you respond to this simple question?
There is nothing hateful about me. The truth is sometimes difficult to face. I have read Sarah’s blogs in the archives and I have nothing but respect for her, If you wish to criticize me, you are being critical of Ayn. We are kindred spirits.
This is that sick latke character. Why is such a vulgar, hateful person allowed to participate, Ted?
Rongrand: We are rationalists, and as such we don’t have any religious affiliations. Ayn Rand was a staunch athiest. For some our credo is too far right, for others we are too isolationist. We have absolutely no use for treaties, mutual defence pacts, or any overseas entanglements, and that would include our involvement with Israel.History has shown that great powers have collapsed under the weight of just such entanglements. That does not make us anti-israel nor anti anyone else. I hope I am getting through to you. I know this is complete gibberish for some, especially Laura, who can’t see anything beyond her nose ,politically.
You should learn something about Ayn Rand (not AYN reagan), Kendra.
Ayn Rand was a strong supporter of Israel. She said the Arabs were just savages who don’t want to use their mind. She further commented that Israel’s killing the Arabs was the best thing that country did.
Rongrand: I predicted you would go on the attack. And you have. Is that all that you have to say? Yamit and I have some information for you and perhaps you might understand where I am coming from. My credo and philossophy is found here. The late AYN Reagan shared the same philosophy.Rand Paul and Ron Paul are members of the same circle. We believe that you don’t do any good for asnyone if you keep providing to that party assistence (social security) on an indefinite basis. That applies to foreign aid as well. Israel would be better off if it became independant and not expect American support for ever. I know Yamit agrees fully with that point of view.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand)
What an appeaser this Kendra person is. Let us see…. Israel shouldn’t attack that Hitler in Iran because the Arabs will get mad? Besides that not being true, why the fear? And these anti-Semitic idiots say the Jews are cowards.
The Jews/Israel cannot win with these creatures. If we go to the gas chambers we are taunted as dying like sheep. If we fight back we’re considered agressors who hurt our relations with our Arab friendswho stole our oil and try murder us with it.
Kendraa (Himie) your as vile as ever. Some things never change. Once a rodent, always a rodent.
Kendraa since you are new and have endeared yourself to so many in so short a time, it seems reasonable to ask how you know so much about me unless you have been an avid follower or have been trolling the archives. Either way I am flattered. As to going easy with you, chalk it up to post comatose melancholy. I’ll revert back to my own lovable self soon enough.
Is there such a thing? How does it manifest itself?
What’s balls all? something maybe like Hells Bells?
Yamit: You like Ron, what do you know about him- in concrete precise terms? balls all.
Kendra I like ron and despite your insipid and amateurish psychobabble; sometimes an egg even an egg stolen by Romanians is still just an egg.
I always trust my instincts over my flaccid intellect, my instincts have never failed me.
Tell us about your experiences.
Yamit: it is a known phenomenon that the most homophobic men are usually fighting very strong homosexual
tendencies in themselves. I note that tendency in our friend Ron. he is so very ingratiating in his regard for
Jews that I am certain we have here an extreme antisemite, perhaps not consciously. He is fighting something
internally and now and it is best that he lash out, probably at me . I know that type only too well. He loves the
Jews, his best friends are Jews… blah, blah, blah. I know he is ready to go on the attack like the latent pit
bull that he is. Meanwhile he has cultivated an ally in his adopted Uncle who he fawns over. Much too icky.
My intellect has always been flaccid and occasionally inoperative but my other critical body part is always operative and as hard as bone. I don’t think age has anthing to do with it. I’ll let you know though when I get there.
Soft? I’m mr. softy except for those I hate which is most everyone but I love like hell those I really like and love. I am a true scorpion.
Who said that? In any even it’s the liars who set the standards. There are no objective truths and you need a compass to determine just positions. There are always bounds but I prefer Mounds I like these too!
Only liars should be subject to standards of moderation; only the malevolent should be to subject laws of tolerance. If you always tell the truth from a just position, there are no bounds.
Uncle, I believe you are on the right track. The more I read I am coming to the same conclusion. HP
Yamit:
Yamit, please, please don’t go soft on me.
What you have written in the past makes me appear the ultimate in moderation and tolerance.
What is it, has old age made your intellect, flaccid, inoperative?
I knew a lot of valley girls; either I missed something, or intellect must be relative.
Laura:
Laura dearest, let’s be honest, you suffer from a severe case of vagina envy!
If I didn’t know better Kendraa sounds an awful lot like a past commenter named HP, with nuances of course.
Bashing is what we call free speech and in democratic countries, it is not only acceptable it is an asset. This my country right or wrong bullshit is for deadheads, past but now repentant commies. Me I’m an old anarchist and I hate all governments and when the peoples institutions like a free press stop being a watch dog and start to not only take sides but to color the news and select only that which serves their agenda sites like this become invaluable. I thought all libertarians worship at the alter of freedom, free speech being a necessary indispensable element. Are you dear Kendraa opposed to the exercise of free speech?
If it were up to me, she would be barred from posting.
kendraa is nothing like you Shebrew. You are not a self-hating Jew who is indifferent over the prospect of an Iranian nuclear holocaust against Israel. Like I said, Kendraa is here to provoke. She is anti-Israel.
If Ron and all the others keep attacking America for not doing enough to counter the Muslims, I will continue to kick butt. Especially Ron who sounds like a broken record with his bashing. Our boys are continuing to die, fighting for your freedom and mine and all I read is negative whining. “They are not doing enough”. Has there been one syllable acknowledging the enormous sacrifices made by the American troops. All I read is continous attacks, attacks on the office of the President, our institutions, attacks on our domestic policies, foreign policy. All our Presidents have been attacked at one time or other . Eisenhower, Carter, Ford,the Bushes,Clinton Obama.
It is so easy to be critical, but you guys and gals forget that THE MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTH EAST ASIA COMPRISES MORE THAN JUST ISRAEL. Obama is responsible for a lot more just than defending Israel.Killing more Muslims is certainly not the answer. There just no simple solutions. And those who claim to have all the answers (like Ron) are either fools or knaves or both.
Ron, you are too good to be true. Just what antisemitic act are you atoning for? Is it the long miserable, history of antisemitism of your church that is rubbing your ass? Is it the crusades, witch and heretic burning.Just what is your little secret. You seem to have fooled all of Israpundit, but you certanly don’t fool me.
Go ahead, Ron- confession is good for the soul!
That’s Dr. Valley Girl to you.
Shebrew warrior:
Well that goes without saying, that is self evident. Awe inspiring intellect goes with being a valley girl.
Kendraa reminds me of me, but without the awe-inspiring intellect, seductive charm, and irresistable humility. In other words, she’s most annoying.
Kendra, first of all I am an American whose blood runs red, white and blue. I served my country in the military for 4 years over 50 years ago.
I grew up in a Catholic School system where each morning we would assemble outside, raise the American Flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance in addition to a prayer. Our school won an award for larges scrap drive during WWII, in addition to gathering a much metal as we could find, I even donated a few of my favor metal toys.
Today, on my front lawn I proudly display on a large pole the American flag in addition, along a shadow-box fence in my yard I display along the line 8 small American flags. I get teary when I hear the National Anthem.
I serve on a municipal committee and I instituted the saying of the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the meetings.
What disturbed me was the comment that Israel should not attack Iran in order to protect our military. That’s nonsense.
Iran has threatens to wipe Israel off the map, and this is not an idle threat. Under the circumstance Israel has every right to defend and protect herself from these crazies.
If anything, if there is one country or nation the US should defend it is Israel. Israel is our only true and trusted friend in the ME, a democracy that is constantly harassed by her Arab neighbors some of whom are proxies of Iran and would like to destroy her.
Israel is a peace loving Jewish Nation who has done all humanly possible, with the exception of giving up her sovereignty or the territory G-d provided for them. Any military engagement is in defense only.
As far as Iraq and Afghanistan is concerned, when we leave they will kill each other and will not show any gratitude for our involvement.
You can be sure any defense or aid we provide to Israel will be worth the life long friendship of a great friend and ally for world peace.
Forget about ron for a moment.
Not for a moment! Not for one goddamned moment!
Thanks Kendra,
except for depicting ron as a traitor and “Keelie- Shmuck – I don’t want one more U. S. service man killed in a foreign war. I am a proud Jewish American. But my allegiance is strongly American. no more foreign entanglements. Rongrand is not American, he denigrates America and knowing something about his background, I would never allow him close to an alter boy. “rongrand is a great person?” what exactly do you know about him- I mean really know. I don’t trust him at all.
Forget about ron for a moment. You asked “What did ron do for his country? What do most citizens do for their country? Most do nothing other than doing no harm to others and obeying the laws. Then some do give more like some in the military about 10% who are ever at risk personally.
In other words I understand you would rather see Jews killed and destroyed than Americans? As an American Israeli Jew I would have to take exception to your Libertarian group think on this because nobody is worth our demise by some nuts in Iran even if it costs the lives of American soldiers. We may face such a scenario mostly because of American misguided even corrupted policy towards Iran and American restraining powers over Israel.
As that big GUY once said ” sometimes a guy has to do what a guy has to do” Sometimes a country has to do what it has to do as well. If Israel does attack Iran and Americans die as a consequence you can blame mostly America and Iran not Israel and the Jews. We will have been left with no choice. Us or them.
Now tell us what bugs you about ron specifically? He has said nothing more and even much less than others commenting here including me?
kendraa
Gosh, really!!!!???? I too don’t want American (or Israeli) or Canadian (I’m in Canada) soldiers killed in a foreign war. I particularly don’t want them hamstrung such that they can’t defend themselves as good soldiers are trained to do… and as they want to do. Blame your damned government for that. In fact, blame all of the above governments for that, as well as the media to whom they are hell-bent on sucking up. All of the wars you mention could have been over by now if these same soldiers had been given orders to stop at nothing and destroy the enemy, as they did before political correctness became the order of the day.
And of course these wars, as Laura says, have been fought on behalf of Muslims who, over the centuries, have shown that they merit nothing in their defence.
Perhaps if you had encouraged others to vote – vote against Obama and the Democrats – things would have been different for the US military.
And by the way, I only know about rongrand from the postings he makes here, which have always been thoughtful and well-conceived.
If anyone is anti-American its Obama and his left wing supporters.
Oh and one more thing. Israel is actually SAVING the lives of American soldiers with its military technology.
I told you she was here to agitate.
Again, ironic coming from someone who doesn’t vote and urges others not to.
And American soldiers will be safe with a nuclear armed Iran? Polls show MOST Americans support an attack on Iran by either us or Israel. So much for your contention that backing an Israeli strike on Iran is unpatriotic. And as to your self-proclaimed patriotism, that’s ironic coming from someone who boasts about not having voted in years. You don’t care enough about America to participate in the political process but you dare to question the patriotism of Ron and others who support Israel. American soldiers have NEVER fought and died in defense of Israel but they have for muslims. Kendraa I had you pegged from the start when you wrote that post in defense of muslims.
Keelie- Shmuck – I don’t want one more U. S. service man killed in a foreign war. I am a proud Jewish American. But my allegiance is strongly American. no more foreign entanglements. Rongrand is not American, he denigrates America and knowing something about his background, I would never allow him close to an alter boy. “rongrand is a great person?” what exactly do you know about him- I mean really know. I don’t trust him at all.
kendraa – you mean the Iranians are friends of the US so they won’t attack US forces unless someone else (like Israel) attacks them? THEN they’ll get upset and destroy the US forces. Until now they haven’t done this… but they could if they wanted to.
Rongrand is a great person. You’re out of your fucking mind. Go away!
Rongrand: What did you ever do for your country?
Rongrand: Traitors like you should be deported to such places as Romania. You live in the U.S. and reap the benefits of the greatest country on earth and you denigrate your native soil, you dishonor the troops overseas who gave up their lives so that you are able to live in freedom. I can only describe you as a worthless ingrate worm.Why am I wasting my time on you worthless piece of foreign excrement.
Go to any military cemetary, bow down before a gravestone and beg the service man lying in the earth for forgiveness. Enjoy your T.V. sports in peace, but don’t ever expect any of our brave soldiers to sacrifice their lives for the likes of yourself. Don’t ever insult my country again.
kendraa you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. You babble on with nonsense.
Don’t look now stupid, your Uncle Sam is nothing more than an incompetent and weak president bent on destroying our Republic. If anything this knucklehead has strengthen Iran as they know he is a wimp who embraces Islam.
Our U.S. forces have sacrificed so much to protect others for far too many years. Thousands have died or suffered loss of limbs and have been psychologically scarred for life.
An attack on Iran by Israel or anyone else will place our brave young boys in Iraq and Afghanistan in grave peril. Those Americans or our so-called allies who propagandize for such an attack automatically become our enemies. Don’t mess with Uncle Sam.
Laura, when I read something like this I get angry, very angry. First of all someone please tell me what Israel and the Jews have done deserve such a ludicrous idea as that. You know what, they have done nothing, absolutely nothing, unless you consider protecting your citizens and the territory as justification, your nuts.
Laura, they are simply afraid to address the muslims as the problem. No guts.
This is interesting and perplexing. So why doesn’t Israel use the same methods it is using in helping Columbia achieve victory over terrorism, to defeat its own enemies?
This is insane considering it is the muslims who are causing europe such trouble.
