Israel’s foreign minister on Wednesday said it’s not the business of the United States whether his country decides to attack Iran.
Foreign Minister Avigor Lieberman said that warnings from the United States and Russia about an attack would not affect Israel’s decision-making.
“[It] is not their business,” Lieberman said in an interview with an Israeli TV station Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.
“The security of the citizens of Israel, the future of the state of Israel, this is the Israeli government’s responsibility,” he said.
Lieberman’s comments come after Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said Sunday that an Israeli attack would be “destabilizing” for the region.

Doesn’t anyone get it? Its all rhetoric coming from the policy makers in israel. Its part of the game they are playing to rattle the nerves of Iran. Israel will not attack without the green light from the us. They receive billions in aid and won’t jeopardize the relationship. What’s going on is very simple.sanctions are begining to work and its all a game of words that israel is playing with Iran
Really? Who saves Israel’s neck in the UN? Where does Israel buy most of its weaponry from?
In a best case scenario, there will be substantial disruption of the world economy. In a worst case scenario, there will be a major war involving multiple Muslim countries, severely messing up the world’s economy, and possibly making profound changes to the status quo throughout the Middle East and South Asia (if Pakistan gets involved). Large scale wars can go out of control (who imagined that shooting a disinherited archduke, regarded by his government as a nuisance, would lead to destruction of the most of Europe by the time dust settled in 1945 – or was it 1991 that the dust settled).
Given the current leadership in the US, there is much reason to be concerned about unpredictable outcomes, and much to worry about.
He’s right. And I hope the United States stops sending a single gun and dollar to the medinah. What a chutzpa. He takes everything America has to offer, spits in the face of America, is leading us to World War III and makes Jews look like the ergste bria in the world. Gevalt!
I said in another posting that “nicejew” is neither nice nor a jew….Forgetting that the world,for centuries, thought of jews as “ergste bria’ as he calls us. Only now, thank the Almighty, do we have the courage to show that we will not be slaughtered “umzist”.
As far as money goes, I’d start by stopping all moneis going to the frum mosods in Eretz Yisroel. Will that make you happy?
