Israel has been preparing for the worse-case scenario for several years now. Under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon the “Samson Option’ was created. Samson was to be implemented only after Israel was attacked.
A second strategy “Project Daniel” has been studied and considered for the past six years. It was tabled in detail at the Herzliya Conference February, 2009.
This strategy comes into play if an enemy state acquires nuclear capabilities and threatens to attack Israel. Though Project Daniel proponents insist a nuclear campaign initiated by Israel would be a decision of last resort, it remains possible.
The extreme nature of its use is highlighted by the Project Daniel statement, that Israel would fire if the enemy was known to have entered the countdown stage of an attack.
The team concluded by saying: “The Final Report of Project Daniel recommended "a recognizable retaliatory force should be fashioned with the capacity to destroy some 15 high-value targets scattered widely over pertinent enemy states in the Middle East."
“This "counter-value" strategy meant that Israel's second-strike response to enemy aggressions involving certain biological and/or nuclear weapons would be unambiguously directed at enemy populations, not at enemy weapons or infrastructures.
“Looking over the evolution of pertinent existential threats to Israel over the past six years, it seems that our original recommendation was entirely correct.”
Jerusalem Post columnist Carolyn Glick is a former army intelligence officer and retains contact in high places. In September she published a column insisting that Israel has no alternative but an attack inside Iran.
The former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold is a close adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu. His most recent book is ‘The Rise of Nuclear Iran.” In it he outlines the serious threat to Israel and to Europe and the USA of an Iran stubbornly rushing towards nuclear empowerment. He also highlights repeated errors by US presidents from Jimmy Carter onwards who ignored reality and allowed the current Khomeini regime to gain power and create a militant society.
He condemned the ineptitude of US intelligence sources who have a track record of misreading Iranian intentions.
Analysts worry any attack on Iran will be difficult and indeed devastating. They all agree the deadline is getting closer. Some have focused on the strategic difficulty faced by any raid trying to target five or more Iranian nuclear facilities. But another intelligence report predicts 30,000,000 would die if Israel just bombed Tehran. (Try and absorb that statistic alone).
No one underestimates the ability of Iran to defend itself. Apart from potent weapons fired from Iran, it has Hizbullah, Hamas and the Moslem Brotherhood positioned for front-line duty. Israeli intelligence warns Hizbullah is now more potent with weapons and firepower than ever.
Thought of a Middle East nuclear exchange created nothing less than a vivid, terrifying, ugly picture.
Although the wars of the past have been awful tragedies, the simple statistics that loom in any future exchange are beyond comprehension. Modernity has delivered the internet, wonderful new home appliances, a variety of better-living assets but also weapons that are more effective, more deadly, lethal.
How would you proceed if you were Prime Minister of Israel, or President of the United States?
The growing enormity of decisions on their desks highlight how much we need the Lord. Only He can bring sanity into this out-of-control scenario.
Only He can bring ‘the peace of God that passes all understanding.’ Only Jesus can say to the storm, ‘be still!”
With all the problems needing to be answered quickly, we are the most powerful people on earth. We have the power of prayer. Unleash your power today.
Let us attack the enemy and call on the Almighty to ‘rend the heavens and come down.’ Move in your anointing. Do not be a spectator, be a saint of the Most High God.
