Israel and Iran
By Micah Halpern

Sunday May 24, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

A recent poll, conducted by the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University, illustrates how Israelis feel about the threat of Iran and about whether to preemptively strike at Iran now or to wait for diplomacy to work.

51% of the 507 randomly selected Israelis said strike now - while 49% said give diplomacy a chance.
74% responded that the new US policy toward Iran would certainly fail.

As this poll was made public one of the Iranian presidential candidates, Mohsen Rezai who had been the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards for 16 years, said that under his leadership Israel would never threaten Iran. Why? Because in one shot he would destroy Israel. Rezai said that he knows Israel's weakness and could, with a well placed shot, stop Israel forever.

Here is Rezai's exact quote from a Sunday news conference:
"My government ... understands missiles and tanks as well as foreign policy and knows exactly where Israel's sensitive spots are. It could stop them forever with one strike."
