Ahmadinejad's Strategy for Destroying Israel

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is obsessed with one subject, the destruction of Israel. His strategy for doing so combines political and military elements. His aim is to delegitimize Israel in the eyes of the West and cut it off from US support.On the political side, he is an insistent propagandist who has no problem ignoring fact and evidence to boldly lie and repeat false claims. One major set of falsehoods has to do He is an insistent propagandist.with the origin of the modern State of Israel. He ignores the one-hundred-year history of the building of the Yishuv, the three-thousand-year-old Jewish historical and religious connection with the Holy Land, and proclaims that Israel is a colonial Western imposition with no roots in the area. While questioning that the Holocaust ever happened, he says that Western guilt brought Israel into being. He avoids touching upon the true political and military struggle, including the war against five Arab armies, which led to the creation of state.In another area, he skillfully plays upon American weariness with the conflict in Iraq, and the desire for peace, and blames the Zionists for causing the war there. While his own ultimate game plan calls for the downfall of the United States and the coming of Shiite Islamic rule of the world, a key preliminary step is having the US cut off Israel, leaving it isolated in the international arena.The political isolation and delegitimization of Israel would conceivably make more penalty-free the other leg of the strategy - the military one. Iran has illegally persisted in its plan for enriching uranium and attaining a nuclear capability. It is going full-steam ahead in defiance of United Nations sanctions. It has threatened Israel and US forces in the Middle East with massive destruction. It is doing all in its power to attain a nuclear option, but at the same time it is building up the military power of Hizbullah in Lebanon, of Hamas in Gaza and of Syria. It is providing weapons and manpower that will enable those forces on Israel's border to have greater effectiveness in attacking Israel's civilian population, thus weakening the Jewish State. This may be preliminary to a conventional war strategy; however, Ahmadinejad's Iran has often used surrogates in terror attacks in the past, and it is not inconceivable that it might pass on weapons of mass destruction to those on Israel's borders.Ahmadinejad's predecessor and rival Akbar Hashem Rafsanjani openly spoke up of a nuclear war with Israel in which Israel would be destroyed and the vastly more populous and expansive Iran would survive. Despite Ahmadinejad's persistent denials that Iran wishes to attain a nuclear capability, it is not very difficult to connect having such a capability with Ahmadinejad's obsessive dream of destroying Israel.At the same time as the military options are being built, Ahmadinejad has proclaimed his own "peace plan" for the region. This would involve bringing five million Palestinians to the Holy Land and having them join with the Palestinians here in voting in a referendum, Iran... might pass on weapons of mass destruction to those on Israel's borders.which would peacefully lead to the dissolution of the Jewish State. As even he probably knows, such a plan is unlikely either to be forced on Israel or accepted by it. So, he may well be offering the idea for pure propaganda purposes; i.e., when the military option does come into play, he can well claim that he has pushed for peace all along, while Israel and the United States rejected it.Ahmadinejad has other strategic ideas in mind, including the Messianic Islamic one of the coming of the Twelvth Mahdi and the great world upheaval that will lead to the new Islamic conquest of the Earth. But that is the big and final stuff; before that, he is obsessed with destroying Israel.Ahmadinejad and the Iranian nuclear program have not been stopped yet. For Israel's political and military leadership, there is no more urgent task.He may be a manipulative Machiavellian liar, and a fundamentalist Islamist primitive, but Ahmadinejad is absolutely serious in his intention to destroy the Jewish State and to eventually bring down the US, as well.
