WORLD JIHAD 'TSUNAMI' HYPED BY ISRAELIS
"An
impending world jihad 'tsunami'... may
soon descend on the
entire Middle East."
MER -
MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 16 May: How
much of this is really real and how much of it is super 'hasbara' (the
Hebrew world for 'propaganda') is increasingly hard to dissect. And
that of course is just the way the Americans and the Israelis probaby
want things to be at this exceedingly sensitive and dangerous moment in
history...they may not even be so sure themselves

Ex-Military Intelligence chief Ze'evi warns of impending world jihad 'tsunami' |

Ha'aretz, 15 May 2006: Former
Military Intelligence chief Aharon Ze'evi warned Monday morning of an
impending world jihad "tsunami" that he said may soon descend on the
entire Middle East.
Ze'evi, speaking at a Jaffee Center for
Strategic Studies conference in Tel Aviv University, said that Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinijad has been overheard promising the "end of
history in two or three years."
Ze'evi recommended that the
Iranian threats be taken seriously, saying that Tehran will soon have
nuclear warhead compatible surface-to-surface missiles with a range of
5,000 kilometers, putting Europe within striking distance.

Ze'evi also warned that Israel should not rule out the possibility of a conventional war against Islamic militants.
Ze'evi said he foresees this war breaking out on Israel's northern frontier, against Syria and Hezbollah.
Emphasizing
the radicalization of Islamic militancy, Ze'evi cited recent changes in
the objectives of major militant organizations, which have recently
begun targeting sites in Arab countries.
"We are seeing attacks carried out in Amman, Dahab and Sharm el-Sheikh," said Ze'evi.
He
cited the increased accessibility of Internet in the Arab world as
facilitating the process, saying, "Today, anyone who is interested can
learn how to blow up a bomb."
Major General (Res.) Ze'evi
stepped down as chief of Military Intelligence about four months ago,
and was replaced by Major General Amos Yadlin.
