Syria and/or Iran to Bomb Jordan and the Palestinians?
By Beth Goodtree
Who knew that Syria and/or Iran might bomb their cause celebre, the Palestinians? Certainly these aggressors do not. Yet this is exactly what might happen -- especially in the following scenario involving Iran, what with all the threatening rhetoric coming from Ahmadinejad. To borrow a phrase from The Golden Girls' Sophia Petrillo, picture it:
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is feeling his oats at having forestalled, yet again, the UN inspectors and effectively tying the hands of the n ations who dread him getting a nuclear bomb. The sanctions mean little to him. He feels unbeatable. And he is also constantly filled with a visceral hatred of Jews in general and Israel in particular. "The Little Satan," he calls it.
And although Ahmadinejad might be a tyrant, he"s not crazy. He would never attack the United States, otherwise referred to by him as "The Great Satan." But he sure as heck might send a few missiles in Israel"s direction, especially if he"s feeling particularly invincible. Then again, he might get Syria to do it.
Either way, on this bright and sunny morning sometime in the near future, while the morning doves are cooing and the petunias are op ening their glorious petals to the sun, while the air sings with bumble bees fertilizing the orange groves and roses, and the palm fronds waft gently in a fragrant breeze, Ahmadinejad gives the word. And the word is death. But not mere death. Ahmadinejad wants to see the accursed Jew suffer in ways even Hitler didn't imagine. And so he had his top military men assemble a special bomb.
At the same time that his top scientists and military men were devising an especially horrendous form of not-ready-for-prime-time death, Ahmadinejad was getting ready his excuse. Just like the fake "Jenin Massacre" that never occurred, or the al-Dura shooting that was done by the Palestinians themselves and then blamed on Israel, he had his most devious minds devise another atrocity to commit and then blame on the Israel. Ahmadinejad is using this latest fake atrocity as an excuse for the missiles he is about to let fly.
Little does he realize that he is about to commit a real atrocity, not on Israel and the Jews, but on the people he conveniently champions " the Palestinians, and maybe even Jordan.
Ahmadinejad gives the word and the first of two missiles is launched towards Israel. The time is now about two hours before the Sabbath, when most Israelis are out and about getting ready for sunset and prayer. It"s the busiest time of the week and Ahmadinejad has calculated it so as to invoke maximum death and injury. And horror.. Horror is very important, not merely for the psychological effect upon his sworn enemies, but to show the world that unless they follow his dictates, the same will happen to them.
At IDF Defense Headquarters, they track the missile"s launch and the Arrow3 Missile Defense System is automaticall y activated. The system is an upgrade from the current Arrow2 system and untried in actual battle. Too late it does its job, but somehow, the first missile falls harmlessly on a recently deserted street in one of the most observant sections of Jerusalem. Some storefront windows are shattered, the pavement is destroyed, but no one was still out in the shopping area to be hurt.
Ahmadinejad is furious. He tells his generals to make the next one count. And at IDF Headquarters, no one is resting easy. Soldiers who had gone home for the Sabbath have been pouring in from the first second it was recognized that Israel was under attack. They rapidly check and readjust the Arrow3 Missile Defense System and wait. Shortly, another missile is spotted coming in from the northeast and the Arrow3 is again activated. This time it works and hits its mark " the missile that is heading towards one of Israel"s most vulnerable areas.
However, the true horror has just begun. The missile Iran shot at Israel is intercepted and "neutralized" above the eastern bank of the Jordan River. But what nobody knew was the missile"s payload. It was filled with napalm and phosphorus, as well as radioactive material. When the missile is intercepted by the Arrow3, it explodes in midair, raining burning chemicals and radiation far and wide upon the populations on either side of the Jordan River below.
Suddenly, Jordanians and Palestinians who are going about their daily lives are pelted with burning fragments of death. Their clothes catch on fire and on both sides of the Jordan, people are running into the river to douse the flames. Men, women and children have been turned into screaming pillars of fire, their flesh me lting and charring as they run. But the water is no help, for the entire surface of it is afire from the phosphorus and napalm. They die, burning in the water and breathing in air turned to flame. And those who manage to survive have had their burns and wounds infected with microscopic particles of radioactive material. Their deaths will be even slower and more horrifically agonizing than their countrymen who agonizingly roasted to death in the initial bombing.
And so Iran (or maybe its satellite, Syria) has inadvertently bombed Jordan and the Palestinians.
Could this scenario happen? Absolutely. And unless the world, especially those nations threatening Israel, are very, very careful, it will.
