Deputy Minister of Galil & Negev Development Ayoub Kara, who was addressing a shabbos cultural event in Beersheva, stated Israel has no alternative other than to attack Iran, quoting the posuk if one comes to slay you get up and slay him first. He stressed this is not what Israel wishes, but there is no alternative.
According to Kara, a member of Israel’s Druse community, a number of Israel’s neighbors, “radical Muslim states”, have turned to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu asking that Israel attack Iran, fearing if not, one day, a nuclear Iran will use its weapons of mass destruction against Arabs states too. The deputy minister pointed out that despite the fact that Israel does not maintain diplomatic relations with these nations; they turned to Jerusalem seeking assistance in halting Iran’s potentially deadly nuclear program.
In the meantime, at least what is publicized in the media, the White House and State Department remain calm, seeking to assure Israel and her allies that there is ample time to arrange for the next round of economic sanctions on Iran despite contradictory reports from Israeli intelligence stating the time to act is now, explaining the window of opportunity for a non-military solution is rapidly coming to an end.

Haba lehargecha hashem vehorgo is not a passuk, rather a maamer chazal
Unless you mean the pasuk of ba bemachtares
The US is stalling and I don’t know why. They clearly are not “our friends.” Economic sanctions will not happen because China and Russia will NEVER agree. They stand to lose too much. So we will be left no sanctions and no military option unless we tell uncle Sam “ad kan” we need to do what’s necessary for the preservation of the country. Btw anyone pick up on the hypocrisy of the US? When we had dubious intelligence stating that Saddam had an WMD we bombed the country to pieces and hung Saddam. Yet Iran who we know for a FACT is actively producing a nuke and has multiple enrichment sites is being given a free pass. Israel, I hate to say it, Kahana was right. He said years ago that having such close ties to the US was a mistake. We took their money and now they own us. We have no say over what to do for our countries own preservation. This was not what so many brave soldiers died for in Israels bloods wars. Maybe its time to tell the US so long, it was nice while it lasted. The price of US’s friendship is way too expensive and valuable. May Hashem guide Netanyahu and give him the nerve to stand up to the US. We are an Am Kshei Oref. Time to use that to our advantage here.

Just for your information Am Kshei Oref is not something you should be so proud of – when the torah states that, its used as a negative term, its percisely for this reason that we are still in galus, had we taken upon us the yoke of galus that was applied upon us as a punishment then the galus would of had its purpose, and maybe we would of been out of it by now, however if you think that its in your hand “KOICHE VOIZIM YUDI” then hasem says go ahead lets see what you can do now… go ahead my son take care of yourself… see for your self an Iran a Syria, all at your borders don’t you think that you need me, do you still think that you can manage on your own, NEVER AGAIN is a nice slogan, a childish one, so what did you do gathered all sheep in one land and make it easier for the enemy.. how silly to think that you could mange Iran and the rest of the middle east on your own, don’t you relize you need me cry’s hashem… Wake up and do teshuva now!!
#! it is derived from the torah….”um bemachteres yimutzah haganov…’see rashi .

Am Kshei Oref is used in both negative ways and positive ways. I have seen it in seforim that the reason why we are able to flourish despite the golus is because we are an Am Kshe Oref. We don’t give up. They can torture us and murder us and perpetrate a Holocaust against us and we just dust ourselves off and pick our selves up and go further. Look how we have grown since the Holocaust! Only an Am Kshei Oref has the stubbornness to not give up and in fact to reinvent itself after a Holocaust.
WellInformedYid;
Yes,but your missing the point.. its good to stand up and dust ourselves off and pick our selves up and go further, but that dosn’t mean to bypass galus and try to work it around to make ourselfs comfterable especcialy upon someone elses expences, meaning the arab world.
Galus is galus to bad WellInformedYid!!
