Jane's Intelligence Digest writes today that Israel may be planning strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. At least in the non-subscriber extract, there is not much new; it has been thought for quite a while that Israel might attack the nuke facilities. One sentence, though, is interesting: "An Israeli strike could effectively end hopes of reaching any kind of peace deal" between Israel and the Palestinians. This way of thinking about the Arab-Israeli conflict has proven itself a complete failure. Not allowing Israel to "win" has only encouraged Arab rejectionism and violence. More likely, an Israeli strike on Iran's nuke facilities could promote a peace deal, especially if this would speed the overthrow of the Mullahs and stop Iran's support of Palestinian terrorist groups.
