About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Iran makes strange bedfellows

It's interesting to see certain national leaders who have reputations as appeasers react to Ahmadinejad's threats.

First Jacques Chirac reverses his earlier position:

President Jacques Chirac said Thursday that France was prepared to launch a nuclear strike against any country that sponsors a terrorist attack against French interests. He said his country's nuclear arsenal had been reconfigured to include the ability to make a tactical strike in retaliation for terrorism.

And now Shimon Peres gets tough:

Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Monday in an interview to Reuters that "the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map," Army Radio reported. . . . . "Iran presents a danger to the entire world, not just to us," Peres added.

(Does this mean France and Israel are going to become allies of convenience again?)

[ Alcibiades add: Debka reports that the new deputy Mossad Chief, Ilan Mizrahi, "is a world class authority on Iran and expert on Muslim and Arab affairs...Selecting Mizrahi for the job signposts PM Olmert’s order of strategic priorities. ]

We shouldn't forget who developed Israel's nuclear program - the very same Shimon Peres. He knows what he's talking about.
