Reports on Israeli retaliation against Iran, About former minister, David Lametti, The COMTARDS messed up downtown Ottawa (and elsewhere) for Gaza: Links 1 for April 15, 2024

1. Start at 7 minutes. This journalist claims that a few hours ago now, American and Frenchy and German citizens have all been advised to immediately leave Iran. Qatar has diverted all flights away from Iranian airspace, and Netanyahu has called a meeting of ALL the leaders of the many parties in Israel to a meeting with the exception of the leaders of the Arabic and anti-ISrael parties.

Took some time to find, but his quote is from the Times of Israel, paraphrasing the WSJ. It is close, but not exactly that.

Decades ago, I used to be friendly with a family, the patriarch of which was a General in a Western military. He was a brilliant, and very decent man, who has passed away some time ago now. So I think its OK to tell this story.

He was telling me about some of the RealPolitik of the Middle East. About how during the cold war, an ally of the Soviet Union, I think it was Iraq, was developing nuclear weapons by constructing a 40 mW nuclear reactor which has pretty much no practical use beyond making nukes. But neither the US nor the Soviets wanted Iraq to have these weapons. So it was decided that the US would ask Israel to fly a single sortie over the area and take out the reactor. The Soviets would stand up in the UN and condemn the action and demand a resolution of some kind against Israel. The US was to veto it, and that would be the end of the issue. Everyone wins except maybe the one guy in Iraq that thought having nukes was a good idea. And that is exactly how it played out.

This tells us a lot about how things happen. The attack against Israel by Iran was clearly something along these lines. Calls where made, understandings where arrived at, and events took place in a way that would satisfy the honour of the Islamic regime in Tehran without any kind of actual war per se.

Let’s hope the Israeli response, if indeed it is real at all, has a similar trajectory,
