Op-ed calls on Israel to nuke Germany, Iran

Op-ed calls on Israel to nuke Germany, Iran
’20-30 nuclear bombs will assure the job gets done,’ opinion piece on right-wing Israel National News site says
BY TIMES OF ISRAEL STAFF March 11, 2015



Right-wing media outlet Israel National News published an opinion piece Tuesday calling on Israel to launch nuclear bombs at Iran and Germany, only days after the outlet came under fire for publishing a piece accusing a war widow of killing her husband over her pro-peace views

In the opinion article published Tuesday, the author claims that only through nuclear annihilation of Iran and Germany, with 20 or 30 nuclear bombs each, can Israelis prevent the state’s destruction.

<edit>

To combat this Israel must respond in kind, Ben-Eliyahu declared. “To an existential threat we must respond with an existential threat,” he wrote, “not with speeches in Congress. We must make it clear to the Iranians that Israel will wipe out their nuclear program and Tehran and Isfahan as well.”

<edit>

When the Messiah comes, Ben-Eliyahu wrote, Israel will reverse the Final Solution. “Twenty, thirty atomic bombs on Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dresden, Dortmund and so on to assure the job gets done. And the land will be quiet for a thousand years,” he wrote.

just backfire and some will vote for the other guy (sorry the one opposing Bibi). I still have faith that folks do not want to see Israel shooting off nuclear bombs. whow!

to justify a nuclear holocaust? No wonder Bibi is so hungry for what would be his final term.

Brilliant statesmanship!

Everyone knows that Israel doesn't have nuclear weapons. How could they possibly bomb Germany and Iran with nuclear bombs? Was this published in the Israeli version of The Onion?

They are not a 'national' newspaper at all, despite their name.

But while they are generally incredibly hawkish toward other places in the Middle East, I hadn't come across them desiring to nuke Germany before.

Israel seems to have its very own Tea Party.
