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 [i]. They have been on the increase. In 2009, it was reported "Israel's army is changing. Once proudly secular, its combat units are now filling with those who believe Israel's wars are "God's wars". If Israel determines "God's wars", none are safe.
World leaders have warned that the conflict could engulf the entire region, but Israel is not heeding their warnings. Perhaps Netanyahu is smug in the knowledge that even if all in the region (and beyond) perish, Israeli Jews, or at least some, will be safe in its Site 911. Site 911, funded by America, due for completion soon, "will have five levels buried underground and six additional outbuildings on the above grounds, within the perimeter. At about 127,000 square feet, the first three floors will house classrooms, an auditorium, and a laboratory -- all wedged behind shock resistant doors -- with radiation protection and massive security. Each door of the facility will have a detailed description of the mezuzahs written in "in-erasable ink".
With the growing extremism in Israeli military, their "holy wars" and nukes, it is not just Gaza that is burning -- this is a war on humanity and perhaps even human race. If we do not stop it today, tomorrow may be too late.
