MI Chief: Existential threat
growing

Israels Military Intelligence chief warned the cabinet Sunday that
2006 could see a quantum leap in the ability of the Islamic forces
around Israel, and now being established in Gaza, Judea and
Samaria, to bring about the destruction of the Jewish state.
Major-General Aharon Zeevi Farkash said it appeared that Gaza on
the one hand and Judea-Samaria on the other were respectively about
to turn into two separate Palestinian entities: Hamastan and
Fatahstan.
As this was happening, Farkash said, in Arab countries weapons are
being produced at a quantity and quality that threaten the heart of
the State of Israel. Iran, Syria, Hizballah, and Hamas are
accumulating missiles from Kassams to Shihab 3 missiles.
Iran was determined to reach nuclear capabilities and obtain
ground to ground missiles. It is turning into a regional power. I
don't see a real possibility for diplomacy preventing Iran from
becoming armed with nuclear weapons. In the coming months, we will
witness the end of the abilities of our diplomatic maneuvers, and
that of the world, against Iran.
But Farkashs dark omen, as with the numerous similar and
intensifying alarm bells that have been sounded down the last
decade-and-a-half, is expected to go unheeded.
Like its predecessors since 1991, this Israeli government appears
unable or unwilling to withstand the enormous pressure that has
consistently been brought to bear by the Gentile nations.
The world universally insists that Israel move ahead and create the
conditions for the birthing of a Palestinian state.
This demand has remained unwavering and has intensified, despite
the terrible number of Jewish lives that have been lost, and the
thousands of Israelis who have been mutilated and bereaved since
the signing of the Oslo Accords hailed in 1993 as heralding the
arrival of peace.
The Palestinian state-in-the-making would be set up in the Gaza
Strip, Judea and Samaria the former area the soft underbelly of
Israel, the latter two comprising the cradle of Israels nationhood
and the mountainous high ground that would tower over what would be
left of Israel.
And while the forces from without squeeze down on the Israeli
people, secular forces within the country, apparently blind to the
suicide they expect their state to commit, are forging ahead
towards next years elections.
Oozing with self-confidence in his ability and qualifications to
secure Israel against the
Islamic threat, Sharon and his new Kadima Party is gaining massive
momentum and drawing like-minded Israelis to him like moths to a
candle flame.
Unless the flame is extinguished, things look increasingly bleak
for the country that was supposed to be a haven for the Jewish
people, but which has become de facto the most dangerous place for
Jews to live on earth today.

the destruction of the Jewish state.
