Israel Warns Jewish Targets Around World of Iran Threat

Sabre-rattling means extra precautions even at schools and synagogues

(Newser) – Israel is warning its facilities in the US and around the world, as well as Jewish targets in general such as synagogues and schools, that they could be in danger from Iran, reports ABC News. "We predict that the threat on our sites around the world will increase … on both our guarded sites and 'soft' sites," said a letter by an Israeli security officer. "When there is posturing like this, we always pay extra attention to any threat streams," said one US official.

In addition, the head of Israel's internal security division recently said Iran is thought to be after Israel-related targets in retaliation for what is widely believed to be Israel-led assassinations of Iran's nuclear scientists. These warnings follow Senate testimony Tuesday that Iran appears willing to launch attacks on US soil and reports that Israel may bomb Iran in the next few months.

This is ISRAELI PROPAGANDA! Apartheid Israel has been test marketing war with Iran for years through it's phony "Freedom Watch" group headed by Pro-Apartheid Chicken Hawk Ari Fleischer. Here's the link: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2007/11/20/17752/freedomswatch-iran-sell/   Israel is starting WWII and trying to drag the US in to another senseless war with little regard for our Young American soldiers who will pay with their lives. Americans will rise up against Israel if it dares to strike and start another war. I am sick and tired of Apartheid Israel warmongering and total disregard for mankind and human rights. Americans are organzing in all 50 states and ready to march against Israel should they strike Iran. America and the wolrd must unite and expell IIsrael's ambassadors and close their embassies along with cutting off all diplomatic ties and cutting all financial aid to this dispicable Pariah nation. Israel has done nothing but bring America problems. We were attacked on 911 because of Israel so be sure to send your thank you note to Apartheid Israel for 911.  Enough is enough,  Boycott Apartheid Israel!
