British former defense minister sacked for opposing Israeli strike on Iran⁠
DEBKAfile September 16, 2012, 8:58 AM (GMT+02:00)

Former Defense Minister Sir Nick Harvey of the Liberal Democrats claimed to the London Daily Mail he was sacked in last week’s British cabinet reshuffle to avoid a damaging coalition split over a pre-emptive Israeli strike on Iran which he opposed - unlike his party leader Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. The report also discloses the deep involvement of British intelligence agents in attempts to discover Iran’s nuclear secrets and that the US had asked Britain for frigates to patrol the Straits of Hormuz.

US Taxpayers Spend More on Israeli Defense Than Israeli Taxpayers, Says Former IDF Official


John Glaser, September 12, 2012


Jerusalem Post:

In an apparent reference to the public spat between the United States and Israel, former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told the Calcalist conference on Tuesday that preserving strong ties with the United States is an Israeli security necessity.

“We must preserve ties with the United States. I believe this is a security necessity,” he said.

In the past three years, he noted, US taxpayers have contributed more to the Israeli defense budget than Israeli taxpayers.

Since 2009, that amount is more than $11 billion. Explaining why money needs to be stolen from US taxpayers and given to the only nuclear state in the Middle East, despite the fact that Israeli leaders work directly against US interests – especially when they try to pressure us to launch discretionary wars – is getting harder even for hawks to do.

Why don't canadians resolve their domestic issues over the willigness of QUEBECOIS ( French Canadians) to split from Canada ? Someone got shot one or two weeks ago in Montreal Quebec, when separatists of the Parti Quebecois were celebrating after winning elections in Quebec. Read this http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/quebecvotes2012/story/2012/09/05/marois-victory-speech-shot-fired.html

To Ben zion, You all arabs and jews are a bunch of MF racist. Do not drag us into your silly secular hatred in the middle East, the land of foolish people. Your ancestors said God appeared there but this place is the bloodiest spot on Earth. How come?

God bless Africa, the land of true humanity.
