Bush, Israel prepare a strike on Iran

A recent flurry of high-level meetings between Israeli and American bosses cannot be attributable to the fledging peace process, but only to the impending attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Bush again held Iran guilty of supporting Iraqi guerrillas through its Hezbollah proxy and upsetting the US-installed “democratic” government of Lebanon.
The entire Israeli government plus president waited to shake Bush’s hand on his arrival in Ben Gurion airport.
Arab MKs boycotted Bush speech in the Knesset.
Prominent rabbis, including Dov Lior and Ovadia Yosef, petitioned Bush to refrain from pushing Israel into the giveaway of Judea and Samaria. Shas greeted Bush with announcement of a minor expansion in Beitar Illit town behind the fictional green line. Hamas reiterated the Arab position that the Palestinian state should eventually include Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and Haifa, the place where Arabs originally constituted majority but Ben Gurion helped them to flee.
