Martin Sherman continues to elaborate why Netanyahu should
resign in his article Resign
(continued)... Responding to readers
Martin Sherman is probably quite
aware that the MAD doctrine does not work with messianic regimes and ideologies, and if
he is, why does he not clearly state this in his articles in order to educate
the population which is not aware and display the real context in which the
decisions of the Netanyahu government are made?
He refuses to
mention the main motivating force behind the Iranians, the reason they are so
dangerous. He cannot talk about Iran and ignore the eschatology, the Twelvers
and the Mahdi which motivates them to start a nuclear war in which they
expect 2/3 of humanity would perish. Only in facing such a crazy regime, undeterred
even by nuclear weapons, should the moves of the Netanyahu government be analyzed.
If he skips the religious/ideological background
he has no right to attribute to Netanyahu motives for his actions which could
be much better explained by Netanyahu trying anything to prevent a nuclear
Iran.
The realization of the fact
that there is absolutely no way to stop Iran except by military means redefines
the importance or weight factors of all other issues relative to Iran. They
become insignificant, save as a possible way to help the primary cause which is
stopping Iran. Is there a point in considering any other aspect of releasing
the 104 prisoners except that it may somehow help Netanyahu stop Iran? If
Netanyahu fails in the primary task of saving Israel from an Iranian nuclear
strike the 104 prisoners issue would not exist since Israel would cease to exist. If Netanyahu succeeds, the prisoners issue
would be remembered in the context of being the tool of achieving the primary
goal of stopping Iran. Some will say that the prisoner release has nothing to
do with Iran whatsoever, but we will only know the truth years from now and
with the information available now it is the only explanation that makes sense.
