The threat of Mutually Assured Destruction is not just present with the Khilafah and Isreal, but with many different states esp US, Russia & China. Each situation will merit its own approach.

The Khilafah has no need or want for a situation where the land of Isreal is destroyed, just the removal of what is the political entity of Isreal.

The foreign policy of the Khilafah dictates that political and diplomatic measures are first taken, then military action. If Isreal does go for the fanatic approach, then it will only accelerate a full scale invasion. The 67 & 73 wars are interesting examples e.g the collapse of the Bar Lev line.

I’m going to re-read some issues about this, then I could come back with some clearer answers.

The soft-Zionists would leave – the fanatics would stay. And those fanatics would now control the nukes.

Would the Muslim world be willing to sacrifice over 100 million Muslims (a single H-bomb, targeting the Aswan Dam, could exterminate Egypt) in order to destroy Israel?

Also, no one wants to remove North Korea from the map, the North Koreans did not steal that piece of land from anyone.

No, but I suspect that the South Koreans view North Korea as an illegal entity.

Iran is the one country, where regardless of who says what, it is always to difficult to try to make a thorough analysis of the situation. Whilst Iranians I speak to in the UK, don’t seem to care for anything.

But I have noted that anti-IRI demo’s tend go hand in hand with pro-Isreael demo’s.

Ah yes, Korean reunification could indeed open up various cans of worms. China would probably not tolerate US troops in a united Korea, but if the US troops pulled out of Korea, Japan would probably get nervous and want to remilitarize, which would in turn worry both Korea and China.

On another blog, you made a comment that an Islamic State should be allowed to form. It would then discredit itself (much like Iran) and serve as an example to Muslims with ‘Khilafah’ type aspirations.

I vaguely recall making such a comment, but I’ve forgotten which blog it was on. How strong is the anti-IRI opposition in Iran by the way? Is it a mass movement suppressed by force, or simply (as Zadeh Amin, a pro-IRI blogger I only discovered after making said comment, argues) a tiny minority of North Tehran dissidents, blown out of proportion because they can speak English?

On another blog, you made a comment that an Islamic State should be allowed to form. It would then discredit itself (much like Iran) and serve as an example to Muslims with ‘Khilafah’ type aspirations. If Europe or the US decided this was the best plan of action, I would be overjoyed. Then again, it wasn’t all that long ago when the Muslims were knocking on the gates of Vienna.

North Korea is a total pariah state, hated by the rest of the world. Without US support and short of natural resources, Israel would become a starving wreck of a nation.

North Korea though IS a starving wreck of a nation, but shows no sign of disappearing because no-one is willing to sacrifice Seoul (targeted by North Korea’s artillery) and maybe one or more Japanese cities (targeted by North Korean nuclear missiles), in order to finish it off.

Israel is Islam’s North Korea.

I disagree with you. It is a well-known fact among geopolitical analysts that if all the Arab countries (not even all the Muslim countries) were to reunite, Isreal would not be able to survive as a state. Regardless of its nuclear deterrent, Israel has such a small population (6 million, 20% of which are not Jewish) and almost no natural resources (most importantly water that she imports from Jordan, the Dead Sea can only meet one third of the Israeli demand), she and her citizens will not survive. The Israeli Jews will be forced to leave. Actually, Shimon Peres was asked once by his peers why he was so wary of the Muslims and he replied that the Muslims just before Salaludin were in a far worse situation than they are today. You have to be realistic, you cannot kill 1.4 billion Muslims just with nukes. Wars don`t happen this way. By the way, you should read the Stratfor`s analysis on Isreal, written by George Friedmann (who happens to be himself an AMericam Jew).
