[sysop]

Ronald Lauder, president of the Jewish World Congress, speaks to SPIEGEL about the conflict between the West and Iran, Israel's threat of a preemptive strike against Tehran and why he believes unilateral action without Washington's support would be "disastrous".

But there are certain known facts which are holding back Israel to have premptive alone. Israel does not have the latest generation MOP GBU-57A bunker buster bombs to hit deep underground Iranian installations. It does not have the Northrop Grumman's B-2 stealth bombers to deliver them. And it does not have enough Lockheed Martin KC-130 aerial tankers (only 5; the US has 80) for refueling its attacking F-15s and F-16s. There is no evidence the Obama administration will be authorizing the Pentagon to supply all of the above to the Bibi-Barak duo anytime soon. Ronald Lauder knows all this but can not disclose it publicly. USA has to be involved if Israel attack has to be a success.

Has this man forgotten that the Zionists started the last two world wars see "jews declare war on Germany" and now they are about to plunge us into a third world war.

America has lost so much credibility around the world that it would take a Syrian type rebellion to get the bent senators and congressmen’s noses out of the Zionists backsides. Don’t they realise that all of the countries they have upset or bribed will come to the aid of Iran should the Israelis strike. Also all of the countries the British have upset. This includes the south Americas and Cuba. And Russia and China will gladly supply all of the weaponry to achieve success; the world will be in a world war of gigantic proportions. And for what! A rouge state that has disgraced attacked and abused America and Britain on numerous occasions and is constantly attacking its neighbours. JFK had the right idea. Investigate all of the lobbyists AIPAC etc and declare them “agents of a foreign power” remove their charity status and take away Israel’s right to exist. There was no problem in the Middle East until they arrived and there will be no problem when they have been blown away by Iran “God Bless Iran” by the way I am a Christian!

Lauder is a smug pompous ass who thinks he knows far more than he actually does. His pose in the article photo says far more than his words.

Perhaps more people would be willing to view this from Israel's perspective, if Israel showed a willingness to view things from Palestinians' perspectives.
