Netanyhau of Israel

I listened on TV this morning to Benjamin Netanyhau, Prime Minister of Israel, speak before the United Nations General Assembly.  In my opinion he is sounding an alarm the rest of the nations, especially the United States, must sit up and take notice.

I, and everyone else, see Iran making significant daily progress to achieve nuclear weapons capability.  Iran has been saying in no uncertain terms that their objective is to obliterate Israel, blow them off the map, etc.  Israel believes Iran, but the rest of the world, including our own president, don't.  I think the time has come when Israel will take matters into their own hands and act, and act with certainty.

There is something called "Electromagnetic Pulse", or EMP.  It doesn't kill people or break things.  It just renders useless everything electrical and electronic in its range, which is anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand miles.  It can take anywhere from a few months to years to fully recover from an EMP attack.  In the meantime destructive chaos will reign among the population.  Do a Google search on EMP and you will learn more than you want to know.  Its scary, believe me.

The United States first worked on an EMP weapon in the early 1960's.  The first test firing proved it was uncontrollable and though about 1200 miles from the test site in the far South Pacific it almost knocked Honolulu out.  The project was shelved shortly thereafter.

However, I have to believe that in the intervening 50 years our government has secretly been developing an EMP weapons system and defenses against such.  I sincerely hope so.  I also believe Israel has been working to develop an EMP weapon and how to control it.

If matters in the Middle East between Israel and the Islamic Arabs, and Iran in particular, do not improve overnight, and our president continues to ignore the Israel-Iran situation, then I firmly believe Israel will very soon launch an attack of some kind on Iran.  Should Israel launch a conventional air attack with missiles and bombs Iran would still be capable of launching a counter attack on Israel.  So, I strongly suspect Israel will launch an EMP attack.  This way it will render Iran's electrical and electronic infrastructure useless and therefore render them impotent to launch a counter attack against Israel.

Whatever happens in terms of warfare between Israel and Iran will have world wide implications, and God only knows what that will result in.  I'm an old man and I'm fearful for mankind, and my beloved country in particular.
