Top Israeli Journalist: Netanyahu Leading Israel to "Second Holocaust"

Aluf Benn is one of the top journalists in Israel, and no wild eyed radical.

In today's Ha'aretz, he writes that Prime Minister Netanyahu believes that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons (or even the ability to produce them) puts Israel in the position of European Jews in 1942. Benn believes he would react by attacking Iran.

The result he foresees is a conflagration in which anything could happen including a "second Holocaust."

Could Benn be right?  I have no idea.

But President Obama better be ready. If this is really what Bibi is thinking then he -- not Afghanistan or Pakistan -- represents the greatest challenge America faces. 

I have to say that I'm not convinced because it all sounds so crazy but, as Bibi would be the first to say, you can't afford not to pay attention and act on dire threats.  The plan Benn outlines is a dire threat to Israel and America.
