excerpts from: IAF holds drill simulating all-out war
Jerusalem Post, 21 May 2009
| Quote: | Israel Air Force squadrons took part in a large scale drill simulating war on all fronts over the past four days, Channel 10 reported Thursday. […]
Unlike previous drills, the air force did not train on long-range sorties, such as those that would be carried out during an offensive targeting Iran's nuclear facilities; the drill this past week focused on defending the country.
During the exercise, the scenario included war against Hamas in the South and war against both Hizbullah and Syria in the North.
In early June, the Israeli home front will be practiced in the most far-reaching rehearsal for an emergency rocket attack ever carried out. All Israelis will be instructed to enter secure spaces and sirens will sound out throughout the country. |

excerpts from: Azerbaijan seen as new front in Mideast conflict
by Sebastian Rotella, Los Angeles Times, 30 May 2009
| Quote: | Officials say they foiled a plot by Hezbollah and Iran to bomb the Israeli Embassy in revenge for the 2008 slaying of Imad Mughniyah. Anti-terrorism officials fear a new militant hub. It happened in Baku, transforming the capital of Azerbaijan into a battleground in a global shadow war.
The prosecution remained largely a secret until this week, when closed court proceedings began for two Lebanese and four Azeris charged with terrorism, espionage and other crimes. [...]
The choice of Baku last year reflects Iran’s influence, said Matthew Levitt, a former intelligence chief at the U.S. Treasury Department. […] “The Iranians have a history of a presence there. And they wouldn’t mind undermining the country, given Azerbaijan’s Western leanings.” |

excerpt from:'Israelis must ready for missile attack'

Obama: I understand why Israel considers Iran an existential threat
| Quote: | “I've been very clear that I don't take any options off the table with respect to Iran. I don't take options off the table when it comes to U.S. security, period. […]
I understand very clearly that Israel considers Iran an existential threat, and given some of the statements that have been made by President Ahmadinejad, you can understand why. […] They're right there in range and I don't think it's my place to determine for the Israelis what their security needs are.” |
[US President Barack Obama, Newsweek interview, 17 May 2009]

excerpt from: NYPD commando unit preparing to protect Jewish sites
by Allison Hoffman, Jerusalem Post, 9 April 2009
| Quote: | Last week, during a regular pre-Pessah security briefing with Jewish community leaders, the New York Police Department confirmed that it has counterterrorism plans ready to go in case Israel decides to bomb Iran.
Any escalation in tension between the two countries would trigger the immediate deployment of the NYPD's elite Hercules commando units to Israel's consulate, as well as to synagogues and institutional headquarters throughout the city, Mitch Silber, a top intelligence analyst, told the crowd.
Silber said that he believed it was his duty to "prepare for any retaliation that might happen with the region, but more specifically in the West, and more specifically New York City." |

excerpt from: Poll: U.S. Jews split on waging war against nuclear Iran
by Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz, 23 March 2009
| Quote: | American Jews are evenly divided over whether the United States should launch a military offensive against Iran if it acquires nuclear weapons.
J Street, the dovish pro-Israel lobby in Washington, commissioned a poll which revealed on Monday that 41 percent of American Jews favor an attack, 40 percent oppose, and 16 percent chose neither. |

excerpts from: IDF training civilian response teams
by Yaakov Katz, Jerusalem Post, 10 July 2009
| Quote: | Three years after the Second Lebanon War, the [Israeli] army is preparing border communities for a new scenario - an infiltration and ensuing shootout.
The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has trained civilian rapid-response teams in the communities and provided them with new equipment, including M-16 rifles, bulletproof vests, helmets and communication devices. The teams have undergone special training sessions at the IDF's Elyakim training base in the Lower Galilee, as well as inside the communities themselves.
The assessment within the defense establishment is that Hizbullah, if it decides to attack Israel, will not kidnap a soldier as it did on July 12, 2006, when in a cross-border raid it abducted IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, but will instead try to infiltrate border communities with the goal of killing civilians. |

Looks like their 'simulations' are ramping up:-
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article6715412 .ece
Dr.Strangelove (or is it Bizarro?) appears near the end of the article:-
| Quote: | The exercises come at a time when Western diplomats are offering support for an Israeli strike on Iran in return for Israeli concessions on the formation of a Palestinian state.
If agreed it would make an Israeli strike on Iran realistic “within the year” said one British official.
Diplomats said that Israel had offered concessions on settlement policy, Palestinian land claims and issues with neighboring Arab states, to facilitate a possible strike on Iran. |
So; concessions to Arabs if they're allowed to nuke Persians? Does anyone else see the underlying insanity in these paragraphs? There is more illness abroad than swine flu, imo.
