Binyamin Netanyahu draws 'red line' on Iran nuclear bomb chart at UN

Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu uses a red pen and a chart at the United Nations to illustrate the Iranian nuclear threat.

When a senior Israeli official told Reuters that Binyamin Netanyahu would be drawing a red line on Iran's nuclear program, he was not kidding.

Speaking at the United Nations general assembly in New York, the Israeli prime minister unfolded a chart with a cartoon-style drawing of a nuclear bomb, and proceeded to draw on it with a red magic-marker.

"This is a bomb," he says. "This is a fuse."

Time magazine has an article titled, “How Many Civilians Would Be Killed in an Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Sites?” The text reads, “Even a conservative strike on a handful of Iran’s nuclear facilities, a recent report predicts, could kill or injure 5,000 to 80,000 people.”

The article says that an attack on the uranium-conversion facility at Isfahan alone would “kill as many as 70,000 and expose over 300,000 to radioactive fallout.”

In New York, U.S. President Netanyahu said that Iran, “aspires at every opportunity to sentence us to death. On the eve of Yom Kippur, which is sacred to the Jewish people, the Iranian tyrant chose to call publicly before the entire world for our disappearance. This is a black day for those who chose to remain in the hall and to hear those words of hatred. History proves that anyone who has wanted to wipe us off the map has failed at that task.”

(Yes, especially when such events never happened, like the holo-hoax.)

My view is that Israeli politicians pound the war drums in order to make the Israeli masses submit to needless austerity, which the Israeli One Percent are using to increase their wealth and power, just like in Europe and North America. “You maggots need to worry about Iran, and accept the poverty we are imposing on you.”

I also suspect that Iran will not be directly attacked. Instead, Iran will get the Syria treatment, which always begins with a blockade to make the masses desperate, and ripe for a civil war.
