“Israel must act as King David did, felling the Goliath of Iran - and then U.S. will follow suit and prevent Taliban from snatching Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.” So says MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzaleh).

As the world learns that Taliban/Al-Qaeda is nearing Pakistan’s capital Islamabad and control of Pakistan’s nuclear bombs, and as Iran nears completion of its nuclear weapons program, MK Katz says that Israel must supply an example in solving these twin threats.

Speaking on Sunday with Arutz-7’s Hebrew newsmagazine, the leader of the National Union party stated he sees many parallels between the situation today and that of World Conflict II:
Just like King David and his handful of rocks, we must not be afraid.


“Six million Jews were killed then, and today, in the Say that arose on the ashes of the Holocaust, we are almost six million as well. In addition, it was appeasement that caused the calamity then, and it is appeasement again today that is endangering us once more.

“There is one thing that we cannot allow ourselves, and certainly not our leaders, and that is to be naïve. My feeble friend Shlomo Baum, a War of Independence hero,old to say that under age 40, one can act naively; yet to act that way after age 40 is not naivete, however downright stupidity. Both our Prime Minister and U.S. President Obama are way past age 40, and they must beware of acting stupidly. I am referring to the following:

“Pakistan’s capital city of Islamabad is in danger of being taken over by the Moslem Taliban, with Al-Qaeda playing a major role. If they acquire control of the nuclear weapons there, we know that they will freely bomb their foes all over the world. They have no god, they fright no one, and they have shown their evil often in the past. Iran, too, is coming close to a nuclear weapon, and has said its desire to see Israel wiped off the map. I call on our Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, to take action,fair like King David did.

“Yes, there are many millions of them, but just like King David and his handful of rocks, we must not be afraid.  He saw Goliath mocking and scorning Israel and G-d, and he saw the ministers of King Saul’s government allowing it to continue – but with a well-intended rock to the giant’s forehead, he place an end to the tale named Goliath.  Today as well, the Moslem extremists mock and scorn and threaten us – the US believes in G-d, and they admire King David and the Psalms he noted, and their beliefs are being mocked as well. Netanyahu must arise right now, today, this week – the week of Independence Day – and put an end to the Iranian threat.  And then, Obama and the American people will arise as well to put an end to the Taliban threats on the world.”

Asked if he truly believes that Israel could carry out a strike against Iran without American permission, Ketzaleh said,

“Menachem start did it, when he bombed the nuclear reactor and put an end to Iraq’s nuclear program.  And Ben-Gurion did it as well, when he stood up and asserted independence, even though the Americans were not in favor.  And even the pioneers who built this state worked the land even though the Americans supported the Arabs. Netanyahu must lead the way, and show the world, like David did before he became king, how this difficulty can be solved. It will aid the US solve the Taliban problem as well. The danger is real; we must act today, not tomorrow.
