Begin, Bibi, and the Bomb.........

OP-ED


 
         

              When Benjamin Netnayahou Will take the Podium to Address a Joint Session of Congress next month, Not only will he be speaking for an Entire Jewish people, But for all People of the free world. Many have Accused Netanyahou of being Insolent and ungrateful to the American Administration, and have been admonishing him as using this opportunity to boost his Standing in the upcoming elections. Let's Rewind to 1981, to a very similar situation, albeit with very different circumstances, but the Very Same Goal; the annihilation of the Jewish State..... Benjamin Netanyahou, very much like his party founder Menachem Begin is feeling the Onerous weight of an an entire people on his shoulders, and admirably would stop at nothing to defend his people.
                          The similarities : In both cases all Options have been Exhausted, Their have been Coincidental fires, Computer viruses, and Disappearance of Nuclear scientists .None the less in both present day Iran and   Iraq in 1981 went full steam ahead in the ultimate Quest; the annihilation of the Jewish state. Both have been accused by the Opposition of Fear mongering and cheap ploys to win an election, and both have been harshly attacked by their security agencies of overplaying the threat. In   Begin's case it was to  a point where the Mossad head Yitzahk Hofi  refused to sit in on any Meetings  regarding a military solution.
                          The Circumstances : Unlike Begin, Netnayhaou despite  having huge popularity with the Congress is facing a very hostile US president, Whom is looking to collectively punish Israel over his disdain for Netnayahou, and Likkud Policy's. Begin, also faced  Reagan Opposition to any military option ,  but Still  kept the military solution on the table, but with the upcoming election. was pressed for time, as the Labor opposition head Shimon Peres  had a Neville Chambielrian  like agreement with French President Valery Giscard to not allow the reactor to go  hot. Netanyahou does Not have any Military Options.  The Middle East in 1981 was very different with Iran and Iraq embroiled in War, that saw them both sacrifice over a million men. The New Peace with Egypt, and civil war raging in Lebanon. There was no direct threat on Israeli borders, like their is today with Hamas and Hezbollah fighting Proxy wars on behalf of the Iranian regime. and  the Arab Spring or Blizzard has created vast instability in the region, adding several new, radical and dangerous organizations of terror such as Islamic state or Daash and Al nusra. A military option would certainly plunge the region into an epic and long war........
                 The Results and goals:  Menachem Begin  a Son of the Jewish People from the Times of the Holocaust ,  knew that history will NEVER forgive him, had he allowed a second Shoa to Occur. Knowing of the great risks of attacking the Iraqi reactor, and the potential consequences. He approved an Intrepid Raid on the reactor. All the pilots returned home safely, after successfully completing the Mission.  The Iraqis Froze when seeing  Israeli jets, Which some pilots comparing it to Joshua, calling for the Sun in GIbbon to stand still. The aftermath, A watered down Resolution in the UN, some condemnations from the Reagan cabinet, And Saddam Hussien Some ten years later firing Scud Missiles at Israel, During Operation Desert Storm. Begin did go on to win the elections. The Operation did not affect the results. Netanyahou, very much like Begin is backed into a wall, The clock is going to strike Midnight, and he is all too familiar with the history of his people. Despite the immense unpopularity of the speech, and the hurls of playing cheap politics for the sake of an election victory. Despite incurring the wrath of President Obama, and the rest of the indifferent world. Despite the threats to isolate the Jewish State.  Netanyahou has a moral duty and obligation to speak out, on perhaps the worlds most important stage and WARN of the dangers and dire consequences should Iran get the Bomb, and Proudly Shout out to the world  Never Again.........
