The Israeli Elections | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Iran would kill more Muslims in deploying nuclear weapons than they would Jews - and they would poison themselves as well with the fallout.  Additionally, they would not want to poison Jerusalem with radiation, so the Iranian threat is way overblown.  Iraq has more to fear, although I cannot see Iran hitting large Shiite populations either.  Three things are needed - the first is a core group committed to peace - which will likely arise out of the new generation.  The second is a brokered deal on boundaries for the entire region from Gaza to the Pashtun areas of Pakistan.  Third is a gut check for Israel as to whether they are willing to treat the Palestinians and Arabs as first class citizens or create a separate state for them from the north and the West Bank.  I suspect that the Holy of Hollies will never be returned to Israel from Axum until the former takes place.
