Israel Threatens
"End of the Iranian Nation"
CNN reports that Israeli Minister Benyamin Ben Eliezer has threatened Iranians with annihilation in the event of an Iranian "attack". He made the statement as part of a notice of an "routine" emergency siren drill that will take place throughout Israel. His words were, "An Iranian attack will lead to a harsh retaliation by Israel, which will lead to the destruction of the Iranian nation." What kind of Iranian attack was left vague. No mention of the immaginary Iranian nuclear threat was made. Eliezer instead predicted that in a future war all of Israel could be targeted by Hizbollah and Syrian missiles. He said Iran was "provoking" Israel by backing Hizbollah.
This is the second time in recent months that an Israeli official threatened genocide. At the end of February Deputy Defense Minister Vilnai threatened Palestinians with a "shoah" or holocaust. No one in the US government complained about that statement and no was is expected to complain against this threat either. Threatening genocide is a war crime itself, but the "West" ignores this law as it pleases.
