Was Israel’s reported strike in Sudan an exercise in propaganda?:
Shhhhh, Israel has done it again. On the eve of the end of prime minister Ehud Olmert’s term, in what appeared like a suspicious coincidence, we heard the report from distant America about another covert, impressive Israeli operation.

‘To Iran, Israel is not a goal, it’s a tool’
Israel is a tool that Iran uses in order to export its extremism into the Gulf. From the days of the Shah, they wanted hegemony in the Gulf, and Israel is a game they play. So when they want to win support among Arabs, they start screaming about Israel; they simply play off frustrations and fears in the Arab world. And to some degree they’ve succeeded ?
