Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said that Iran finances Hizbollah with some $100 million a year. That's not counting the $10 million Iran provided to Islamic Jihad last year, a $5 million increase from the year before. Iran says it only gives "moral support" to Palestinian terrorists, like tea and sympathy except in their case it's bombs and weapons.
Speaking at the Herzliya conference, an annual gathering of politicians and academics, Iranian-born Mofaz said he knew a large portion of the Iranian people did not support President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's ideology.Ahmedinejad spells Iran's disaster
Mofaz addressed the Iranian people saying: "Ahmedinejad, his hallucinatory statements, his criminal actions and his extreme views will bring disaster upon you. Do what you understand needs to be done in order to prevent this."

From the article:
I think it's a safe bet that if he forces Israel's hand, Ahmadinehitler will bring disaster and suffering to far more than just the Iranians.
Fascinating. Mofaz is really turning up the heated rhetoric in recent days, isn't he? I hope this means action soon in Iran.
US: Iran misrepresents the Palestinians
I was talking more about the Israelis, who, if they go to the Samson Option, would retaliate against more than just Iran and the Arabs.
You're up early MMax.
I pray that Israel has the will to take out Iran's nuke sites. No one else, including us, will do it.

We have tried desperately for 65 years to avoid a second Shoah. We have failed. The Jew-hatred is back worse than ever. There are now 10x as many Nazis. They have nukes. They are suicidal, and willing to let 200 million, even 500 million die to wipe out 14 million Jews. Nothing else matters to them.
We cannot fight such pathological, genocidal, all-consuming hatred when outnumbered 100-1.
Hashem has abandoned us. It is therefore up to use to avenge this planet and end this charade called "civilization".
Israel, when the end comes (it is when, not if) must take it upon herself to take the whole world down with her -- a nuke on Moscow would do it -- Putin would do the rest.
A world where Israel does anything less would be too horrible to contemplate:
1) The surviving Israelis would be butchered by the Islamonazi animals, even as they die slowly from cancer and radiation sickness.
2) Muslims in Europe and Latin America would be given free reign to exterminate the Jews in those countries. This would be done with the full blessing (and even help) of native populations
3) Even in safe countries like the USA, terrorism and oil blackmail would be used to force us to round up Jews and deport them to the Middle East for extermination.
4) The UN, OIC and EU would declare Judaism and gutter religion, and force the destruction of everything that had to do with Judaism --every synagogue, every shul, every headstone in every cemetery. History would be rewritten to make Jews the cause of every evil. Hitler and Ahmadinejad would become not only great world heroes, but prophets, possibly even gods.
Surviving Jews would be living like rats, a sewer-like existence in the shadows, while the exterminators wait at the mouseholes for them to come out.
Israel cannot let the surviving Jews meet such a fate. If Hashem has condemned us to extinction, then we must be sure that our fate is everybody else's fate.
Is there anything possible for Iranians that they didn't try to do? Haven't we had enough students' uprising, demonstrations, workers' strike, outlawed cities, executions and death by stoning or torture in Iran for the last 25 years.
Recently many Iranian opposition groups from a very broad range inside and outside Iran wrote a letter to UN and asked for a 'national referendum' in Iran under the supervision of 'international community'. The idea is that if Iranians can vote freely and mullahs can't rig the election, it's very obvious that 90% of Iranians will vote to a secular form of government and the story of Mullahs is over. What happened to that request and why it didn't make it to UNSC?
Many countries just don't want middle east to succeed. France has no interest in a stable Iraq. UK and Germany have no interest in a 'democratic' Iran or a peaceful Israel.
How do you think the Ayatollahs get their financial support? The Oil! And Who buys this oil? Which European companies are extracting gold from Iranian mines? It's all public information. Just call EU public relations in Brussels. And while bigel is prophesying a total destruction, these guys are running countless businesses with mullahs in billions and billion of $ which goes to swiss and canadian banks to be used for giving away to Syria and Hezbollah. And that, will render Mr. Mofaz's warnings to Iranian people as redundant.
Now, let's imagine Iranian people didn't do their best to defeat mullahs, then there is no reason to believe it would be possible one day with this present situation. So this is a good reason to stop hoping Iranians will one day solve their internal problems and start helping them shake the society in order to get something out of it, hopefully.

Guess who doesn't take Iran threat seriously. At the Herzliya Conference:
