Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth analyst Ronen Bergman headlined, "Will Israel Attack Iran?" saying:
The New York Times Magazine "published a landmark in warmongering journalism, a huge article predicting and justifying an Israeli attack on Iran...."Have all measures to contain Iran's "nuclear threat been exhausted, bringing Israel to the point of last resort," Bergman asked?
Some of Israel's "most powerful leaders" believe it and want more decisive action before "it will no longer be possible to act."
Moshe Ya'alon, Israel's Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs stressed Israel's resolve, saying:
"Our policy is that in one way or another, Iran's nuclear program must be stopped. It is a matter of months before the Iranians will be able to attain military nuclear capability. Israel should not have to lead the struggle against Iran."
"It is up to the international community to confront the regime, but nevertheless Israel has to be ready to defend itself. And we are prepared to defend ourselves in any way and anywhere that we see fit."
Other influential Israeli policymakers share his view. Bergman's complicit by promoting them. So is The New York Times for providing feature space instead of taking a principled anti-war stand.
Mondoweiss contributor Matthew Taylor called his article "Megalomania on high," saying The Times piece "cheerleads an Israeli attack on Iran."
