It’s ‘Bomb Or Bombing’ In Iran Inside Of A Year, Israeli Leader Tells US Pol

The leader of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, Rep. Steve Israel of Long Island, has published a journal of his visit to Israel August 3-9. You’d think the congressman has more important things to do than write up his breathless meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu amid “a cauldron of pressure,” but the congressman is a major fundraiser for his party. So the journal-keeping is time well-spent.

Note that he throws the Obama administration under the bus, hugs AIPAC, wants the New York Mets to get Iron Dome, and says if “there’s a Gandhi left on earth, it’s Shimon Peres.”

Here are some excerpts. First, the news, an August 7 breakfast with Major General Amos Yadlin, former head of the Israeli army intelligence service.



Yadlin finishes with a troubling timetable: Israel will reach a junction within a year: a nuclear capable Iran or a military response to prevent that capability. In other words: “bomb or bombing.”


So Yadlin is implying that Israel could accept a nuclear-capable Iran?

Here’s the meeting with Netanyahu on August 6, with the bogus epiphany that Steve Israel will now commit himself to fighting for Israel at the U.N.:


Even in a cauldron of pressure, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spends nearly an hour with us. Our meeting finally ends when an aide slips him a piece of paper. The Prime Minister reads it
and says: “John Kerry is calling.”
