Equally disturbing, a 1997 article reviewing the Israeli Defense Force repeatedly stressed the possibilities of, and the need to guard against, a religious, right-wing military coup, especially as the proportion of religious in the military increases [iii]. The warming was not unfounded. The once secular army now has combat units filling with those who believe Israel's wars are "God's wars" as the role of military rabbis has become more prominent.

While billions of taxpayer dollars are funding Israel's military and nukes, and enabling them to build their temple upon destruction, one must also question why would the rest of the world continue the charade of going along with their demands? Mordechai Vanunu revealed not only the 200 nuclear bombs, but the sophisticated underground plutonium separation facility producing 40 kilograms annually, several times more than previous estimates. The very plutonium, 'apple size' plutonium, Mr. Obama referred to as being capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people. Surely Israel does not need several hundred nuclear bombs to defend itself?

Martin van Creveld, the famous Israeli military historian and theorist, sheds light on the usage of the bombs:

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome." "We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under."

Assuredly this is not a bluff. American-born Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard obtained satellite-imaging data of the former Soviet Union, allowing Israel to target Russian cities. Israel is capable of using its nuclear arsenal a political lever or 'retaliatory capability'. Perhaps this explains Tel-Aviv's "friendly" trips to Russia when Israel wants Iran to be pressured. Israel also used American satellite imagery to plan the 7 June 1981 attack on the Tammuz-1 reactor at Osiraq, Iraq [iv].

van Creveld is not wrong. This small nation controls much of the world. It commits crimes against humanity and its partner in crime, the United States, makes such reports as the "Goldstone Report" disappear. It extends war -- the 2006 Lebanon war -- for maximum damage. Yet, at the behest of Israel, day and night, Iran is persecuted, its citizens denied of their rights - and under the pretext of 'human rights' and in gross violation of international law and U.N. Security Council Resolution 984, threatened with nuclear weapons - for Messiah's Temple.

Heaven must be hell.
