Is it any wonder that Israeli war hawks might be shaken up

by that upstart new kid on the block? I am sure the very idea of nuclear nonproliferation dialog sends shivers up their spine since until now, they are the only country in the region that has held an impressive US-backed unclear arsenal.
Nuclear nonproliferation talks with Iran from a "do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do" and "never-mind-our-nuclear-stockpiles-in-Israel" approach is not likely to go over big with Iran's negotiators. As long as we are coming at them with this truckload of hypocrisy, they are likely to just continue on their current course of nuclear arms development (that can NEVER catch up to US-backed Israel's arsenal). Nonproliferation is a two-way street, remember? Balance of power in the region currently favors Iran's current course of action, like it or not.
I can see why Israel's war hawks might be feeling a tad nervous at this point. So yeah, this is going to be a really tricky pass on Obama's part and the very idea that he not only has intent, but also has a plan of strategy makes me feel more secure.
By the way, do you guy NEVER tire of all that fear, fear, fear?

It is as much Israeli as ALSO Palestinian land...nm

Israeli intelligence is far superior to our own...at this point
This man knows these things because he has been involved in Israel's intelligence community since the late 60s early 70s and is currently a consultant to the US.
Did you know that our fed gov is currently hiring like gangbusters? They are striving to improve our security as a nation. Surprise! We actually have a president who is trying to improve things! We will get attacked under Obama's watch - you can pretty much count on it. But, I suspect he will not ignore intelligence warnings beforehand - like Bush did.
If possible, think for one moment what it would mean for Israeli troops to fight in Iraq. TI
If I need to say anymore, my suspicions will be confirmed.
I despise Olmert, as many Israeli do. However, article is not correct. TI
Much as he appears to be without experience in combat, he served with Tsva HaHagana LeYisrael, Israel Defense Forces, with the Golani Brigade. The Golani Brigade is an Israeli infantry brigade that was formed in 1948. It is one of the most highly decorated infantry units in the Israeli Defense Forces. He was forced to leave after an injury.
This shows a true and disturbing lack of knowledge regarding the Israeli
Arab conflict. You surely realise that. I hope this was a joke....an unfunny one at that.
