Subject: RE: BS: Are Israeli leaders complete arseholes?
Iran is helping Hamas and this is a concern, but it is not to the extent that Bruce fears could lead to ww3.

Israeli Hasbara is sadly also renowned - for making stuff up.

However, my response to Bruce that a cargo ship with an iranian naval escort is unlikely to run the gauntlet of the US navy remains the only sane one.

A bigger threat in my eyes would be a potential threat from extremists from Egypt - but this is mere speculatiuon - and it appears that Egypt played a role in brokering the current ceasefire.

The previous ceasefire was of course being enforced by Jabari, who was assassinated by the IDF for his trouble - according to Gershon Baskin and Haaretz anyway though I suppose they too are self hating Jews.
