Iran seizes a ship heading towards Israel, a measured response

 

After a murderous Jewish attack that killed Iranian diplomats in Syria, Iran promised retaliation. Up to now it has not been a violent attack. In fact, Iran seized a ship transport cargo for Israel.

Until now, Iranian actions have been measured, controlled, very much unlike Jewish actions that led to death of more than 36,000 men, women and children, adding to the toll the assassination of aid workers, journalists and UN personnel.

We don't what the end of the saga will be, but there are some indications that in Israel all is not well. Orthodox Jews, traditional exempt from military service, are now under pressure to get involved and thi is leading to internal conflict in Israel and beyond.

The actions of Benjamin Netanyahu and of those who support him are promoting anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish sentiments across the world. American Senador Chuck Shumer, himself of Jewish ancestry, called for the resignation of Benjamin Netanyhu whose actions are now forcing the US government to deal with disaster management. A mere issue of numbers tells us that should there be a widespread conflict in the Arab World, the survival of Israel cannot be guaranteed. This is the direct consequence of the massacres and ethnic cleaning operations carried out by the present Israel government.
