Decision by Netanyahu, Barak to strike Iran is almost final — Israel TV

PM believes Iran's regime is aiming to 'destroy the Jewish people,' does not think Obama will resort to force. Nuclear drive 'further ahead' than previously thought. In a year, Israeli action could have only 'negligible effect'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have "almost finally" decided on an Israeli strike at Iran's nuclear facilities this fall, and a final decision will be taken "soon," Israel's main TV news broadcast reported on Friday evening.

Channel 2 News, the country's leading news program, devoted much of its Friday night broadcast to the issue, detailing the pros and cons that, it said, have taken Netanyahu and Barak to the brink of approving an Israeli military attack despite opposition from the Obama administration and from many Israeli security chiefs.

Critically, the station's diplomatic correspondent Udi Segal said, Israel does not believe that the US will take military action as Iran closes in on the bomb.

Regarding an Israeli attack on Iran, I’ll believe it when I see it.

From my perspective, the Israeli government is rattling the sabers to prepare the Israeli masses for increasing waves of economic austerity, in order to benefit the Israeli One Percent.

“The Goy elitists are getting richer than ever by crushing the Goy masses. It’s time for us to cash in too!”
