Israel: After Nuclear War
Iran is racing to build a nuclear capability with which to tip the balance of power in the Middle East in favor of the Shia minority—and of course to threaten Israel.
Apologists for Persia learnedly point out that the tyrants in Tehran have not explicitly announced that they want to destroy Israel, "only eliminate the Zionist entity."
Oh my.
We feel so much better.
We'd like to point out to these oh-so-civilized experts in linguistics that the Germans at the Wannsee Conference never explicitly discussed gassing, burning, shooting, starving or torturing the Six Million, but used far more civilized and coded language when speaking of the fate of the Eastern European Jews.
It is always this way.
Intellectual apologists enable genociders to carry out their evil plans by excusing their language, by dismissing their obvious intentions. You see, intellectuals have deeper insights into the motives of tyrants and Jew-haters. Intellectuals and academics discern structures and sub-structures that ordinary people simply cannot fathom. They can, get this, deconstruct the real meaning of a genocidal death threat as "simply a form of cultural interplay in which the primary actors give vent to profound religious yearnings that have no real-world practicality."
Got that?
These Orwellian creatures label themselves peacemakers, progressives. They handed the Sudetenland to Hitler—he was stunned—thereby empowering the Nazi war machine. Sixty million people died in World War II. That's one person over four years, killed every 2.1 seconds. (Mathematical H/T Soccer Dad) Hitler could have easily been stopped at the earliest stages of his climb to power, but the peacemakers ridiculed Churchill. They called him a war monger.
The structure is the same with Gaza.
Judea and Samaria.
Jerusalem.
Does the left ever learn?
No, do not. They just hurl millions to their death.
Soviet Russia.
Communist China.
The Cuban Gulags.
The Cambodian Genocide.
The Vietnamese purges after the disgraceful American withdrawal.
All the while excusing their crimes with the intellectually weak and inevitable:
1. We only had the best intentions.
2. Well, that's not the real left.
To which we respond:
1. The Nazis and the Communists also claimed the best intentions. The murdered derive no comfort.
2. The real left is the left that has always triumphed; a left that is frankly and unapologetically genocidal.
A few weeks ago Israel conducted a brilliant and lightning raid deep into Syrian territory to eliminate an existential threat to the Jewish state—probably a nuclear facility built with North Korean and Iranian aid.
The Arab world did not protest.
This was almost as significant as the raid for even the Arab/Muslim world was hugely relieved that the Israelis eliminated the wild card Syrian/Iranian nuclear threat.
But now the world sits on its hands, diplomatically paralyzed, as the Persians move ahead with their nuclear program.
Israel can and must take out the Persian nuclear facility. If it doesn't the toll could be awful.
Is Annapolis the price for the Israeli/Persian raid?
Herewith, a stone-cold analysis by Anthony Cordesman, of the days-after nuclear war scenario in the Middle East. By the way, if you are an audiophile, Anthony Cordesman also writes for several stereo magazines. He's an audiophile fanatic.
Anthony Cordesman may be the most influential man in Washington that most people have never heard of. A former director of intelligence assessment for the secretary of defense and director of policy and planning in the Department of Energy, he is now the top strategic guru at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
Most serious politicians and journalists have for some years based their analyses of the Iraq war and its aftermath on his universally respected research. Cordesman is a facts man who likes and reveres good data and cool, clinical analysis as the keystones of policymaking.
He has now turned his laser-like research and forensic intelligence skills to studying the real implication of the endless diplomatic minuet at the United Nations over Iran's nuclear ambitions. In the real world, this matters mainly because an Iranian nuclear capability would transform the power balance in the wider Middle East, and leave the region and the rest of us living under the constant prospect of a nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel.
This would mean, Cordesman suggests, some 16 million to 28 million Iranians dead within 21 days, and between 200,000 and 800,000 Israelis dead within the same time frame. The total of deaths beyond 21 days could rise very much higher, depending on civil defense and public health facilities, where Israel has a major advantage.
It is theoretically possible that the Israeli state, economy and organized society might just survive such an almost-mortal blow. Iran would not survive as an organized society. "Iranian recovery is not possible in the normal sense of the term," Cordesman notes.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
" ... Iran would not survive as an organized society. "Iranian recovery is not possible in the normal sense of the term," Cordesman notes. ..."
the sunni arab world *wants* this anyway,
the us wants it,
the west wants it,
and as long as the Israelis do the fighting,
for the arabs,
it's a win-win situation
it doesn't need Annapolis
Annapolis is 'very bad' for the arabs,
as it publicly shows the world that they are not ready to recognize Israel's right to exist,
and Olmert has made it clear that peace talks are meaningless without this,
so the world can finally see,
that the reason there is no peace, or peace talks, is because of arab hatred and stubborness

I think we need to pray our heads off. And then do it again and again. Too many people in this world- Jews and non-Jews alike- are suicidal and will, God forbid, take the rest of us down with them.
Pray a bunch.

Hi Mr. Avrech,
Did you check out the actual Power Point presentation? You should link it as well.

The left is now dominated and driven by feminists, an irrational and biological mafia seeking only to further their own reproductive interests. Feminists ensure that the left is anti-Israeli and pro-Islam because, contrary to popular belief, Islam largely meets the fundamental biological and reproductive needs of feminists.
