(May 23, 2010) …Today’s top story was the first day of a five-day exercise in Israel on how to cope with a rain of missiles, thousands of them. Some time back I named a webcast “The Real Menace,” which is not the A-bomb in Iran but these missiles which by themselves, I reckon, would do serious damage to the people of Israel, not so much in terms of casualties. The real danger is what they can to our infrastructure, to the oil refineries in Haifa, to the power plants in this country which you can’t hide from Googleearth cameras.

On Friday JPost headlined the story: “Next week’s civil defense drill to simulate attack on water infrastructure.”

What happens when our water supply is damaged? What will we drink?

How will we turn on lights when our electrical plants are bombed?

What happens when Ben Gurion Airport is hit and all airlines, save for Israel’s three or so, stop flying here? What happens to our tourist industry?

What happens to the ports of Ashdod and Haifa being made incapable of handing cargoes?

And in thinking these thoughts today, they led to this longish excursion into the life of Karl Marx because it appears that as Israeli Marxist philosopher Shimon Peres was the genius who thought bringing Arafat & Co. into our tiny country was a good idea, it was the Marxist philosopher Shimon Peres who more than any other Israeli is responsible for Israel’s notorious refusal to admit to having nuclear bombs.

One could argue that the miserable strategic situation we are in today derives from this policy of nuclear ambiguity connected with this man.

It would have been a different world if instead of the history of the last half-century here in which Israel has refused to relate to its nuclear potential, and I don’t mean actively but as a threat.

Imagine a world in which Israel as soon as it got the bomb held it over the heads of the Arabians and gave them the excuse to make peace; to be docile.

Imagine a world in which the first day Israel got wind that Iran was fixing to build a bomb, Israel publicly threatened to bomb it with our own unless they stopped.

I can’t help thinking that our miserable strategic crisis today is all the product of the mind of Shimon Peres, HaShem Yirakhem, G-d have mercy…
