Mossad Agent: Iran, Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas – Four of a Kind

In the midst of turmoil, bloodshed and torment, and even the first suicide bombing in Israel in a year, the Mossad chief Meir Dagan warned the Israel Parliament’s (Knesset) Foreign Affairs committee Iran stands out as the major threat to Israel in the near future.
Dagan spiced his remarks by declaring Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas have united with Iran to fight against Israel.
He warned the recent US report which declared Iran had ceased its nuclear weapons program in 2003 has put international pressure on nations to back off their demands regarding Iran. This report will hinder international efforts to impose fresh sanctions on Iran, he said.
According to the Mossad, Iran will have nuclear capabilities by 2009. Others suggest the most likely date is 2010.
Adding to the mounting drama is the new support for the Iranian program now coming from Egypt, mainly because the Egyptians have nuclear ambitions of their own.
The mind boggles at the likelihood of many Middle Eastern nations entering future international negotiations all equipped with nukes. Then add the fact Hamas raised its hand to claim responsibility for the Dimona suicide bombing. At first glance this seems to be a stark change of tactics.
In recent times Hamas has continue to nurture their passionate hatred for anything Israeli but they have used terrorist fronts to do their dirty work.
Now Hamas joined with The Army of Palestine (a proclaimed unit of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade based out of the Gaza Strip) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – all claiming “I did it!”
Not surprisingly these three thuggeries have combined to murder in the past and maybe they united in this bloodthirsty plot. But why did Hamas go public?
Not so long ago, Hamas was the Palestinian Authority government. They captured Gaza and since then have tried to appear more political than militant, at least in their public face. Not far beneath the surface, however, the reality remained.
Just this week Egyptian border squads and Hamas police exchanged gunfire against one another. Hamas is not in a hurry for the border to be secured by the Eygyptians but Egypt is not too excited about the number of Hamas terrorists who recently flooded through the borders into the Sinai Peninsula, most with strong Moslem Brotherhood sympathies.
So Egypt-Hamas relationships are strained to say the least.
So the Dimona tragedy becomes a challenge and it is an opportunity for Hamas to show their strength in the face of Fatah chairman Mahmoud Abbas. By taking this action Hamas impress their public. They declare how they can fight Israel while Mr Abbas negotiates peace with the enemy.
The inference is clear. Hamas wants back in to a power-sharing deal with the Palestinian Authority. They want Mahmoud Abbas to welcome them back to the negotiating table.
Israel is losing patience with the Egyptian efforts on the border and has no desire to open any deals with Hamas. Abbas seems to have no authority to go forward with any sense of security. I doubt if he plans to have a long career at the top, anyway.
This week we heard suggestions Israel cannot resolve the mess. All they can do is build more fences. That worries me. I wonder if a new fence would now keep terrorists out or lock them in.
I read recently a newspaper clip complaining that Israel had created a ghetto for the Gazans. effectively locking them into a prison by building walls and creating tight security.
As our Bridges for Peace journalists traveled with the police and witnesses in Dimona recently, they observed body parts – limbs and blood stains over what had earlier been a peaceful restaurant.
It is rare those scenes are described. We just get statistics. Unfortunately mutalation does not occur in black and white.
A hero we interviewed was shaking with shock. The policeman spoke of how he shot the second terrorist as the man went for the bomb strapped around his waist.
Imagine this! A Jewish man ran to the side of the terrorist because he saw the man was still breathing. He opened the blood-spattered jacket only to see the bomb. He shouted to warn people, that there may be a second blast. That is when the policeman stepped in.
Israel has not taken any action against their neighbors with joy. They are trying to protect their loved ones. Is there another way?
