Dan Meridor: 'The danger comes from Iran' - Talk to Al Jazeera

And there is one expression that is continuously invoked by the Israeli leadership in order to justify its claims that Iran is an existential threat. In the words of Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister: "They are the leaders of Iran who called for a new Holocaust and who vowed to wipe Israel off the map. " Al Jazeera's Teymoor Nabili talks to Dan Meridor, Israel's minister of intelligence and atomic energy and deputy prime minister, about this and questions him over Israeli politicians' claims that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, said Iran would 'wipe Israel out'. "They [Iranian leaders] all come basically ideologically, religiously with the statement that Israel is an unnatural creature, it will not survive," Meridor says. El Mundo - Irán hace misiles para atacar este de EU: Netanyahu. Carlos Loret de Mola (Segunda de dos entregas) | El Universal 00:05JERUSALÉN.- | Viernes 16 de marzo de 2012 Irán está construyendo misiles balísticos intercontinentales que por cierto no están fabricando para atacarnos a nosotros, ya tienen misiles que pueden llegar hasta nuestro territorio, están haciendo misiles para llegar hasta la costa este de América del Norte, me parece que ahí también está México, dijo Netanyahu Mahmoud Ahmadineyad es bajo de estatura y muy delgado, camina despacio y al hablar no se apresura y usa poco volumen.

El Mundo - Irán hace misiles para atacar este de EU: Netanyahu

Benjamin Netanyahu es corpulento y parece siempre recién bañado y rasurado, habla rápido y con más voz. El presidente de Irán luce como el tímido del barrio. Son los dos líderes cuyos gobiernos enfrentados generan la noticia más destacada del mundo: ¿Protagonizarán la próxima guerra? En ese marco, Netanyahu habló en una entrevista exclusiva: We've seen the threats against Iran before. Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Here we go again with the Iran hysteria.

We've seen the threats against Iran before

It is tempting to think this time will be just like previous periods of sabre rattling against Iran. But there are significant new dangers. The Arab Spring, Israel's position, changes in the regional and global balance of forces, and national election campaigns, all point to this round of anti-Iranian hysteria posing potentially graver risks than five or six years ago. We have seen all this before. The US ratchets up its rhetoric, Israel threatens a military attack, escalating sanctions bite harder on the Iranian people, Iran refuses to back down on uranium enrichment. There is certainly a big dose of déjà vu. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA - the UN's nuclear watchdog) issued report after report indicating it could find no evidence that Iran had diverted enriched uranium to a weapons programme.

Then and now All of that sounds very familiar right now. Israel at the centre Diminishing US power The day after. Will AIPAC and Bibi get their war? Washington, DC - These are strange times for those of us who follow the debate about a possible war with Iran.

Will AIPAC and Bibi get their war?

It is clear that the Israeli government and its neoconservative camp followers here in the United States are increasing pressure on President Obama to either attack Iran or let Israel do it (in which case we would be forced to join in). But the idea of another war in the Middle East is so outlandish that it seems inconceivable it could actually occur. Still, the conventional wisdom holds that it can, because this is an election year and the assumption is that no-one will say no to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. War enthusiasm will rise to a fever pitch by March, when AIPAC holds its annual policy conference. Netanyahu will, if the past is any indication, bring the crowd of 10,000 to its feet by depicting Iran as the new Nazi Germany and by coming very close to stating that only war can stop these new Nazis. All hell breaks loose if a member of Congress should object.
