Hydrogen Bomb in Israel

For several years the leadership of Israel has engaged in vigorous attempts to find a
solution to Irans nuclear threat, the same Iran whose fanatical leaders declare unendingly
their desire to wipe out the Jewish state. The solution to this existential question is not the
exclusive domain of Israel. The Western world, led by President Barack Obama, is trying to
find a course of action in which Israel can defend itself. This course of action stems from
the knowledge of the death and destruction that the Jewish state would be subjected to, but
also concern for the unknown which would be the course of Israels response. Would Israel
resort to a preemptive action by air, land or sea or would it choose the option of a second
blow, as many publications around the world claim would take place.

The Israeli- American concern might be in place, but the real danger is not as severe and
immediate as some politicians try to describe it. For anyone who knows how to distinguish
between chaff and straw, and can sift through the abundant information scattered all over
the Internet network, one can evaluate that in the equation of nuclear balance of terror
between Israel and Iran, Israels hand is on top. This conclusion can be reached by
understanding the information contained in the study of the Proliferation center by the
U.S. Air Force. The study expressly states that Israel has established an arsenal of hundreds
of nuclear bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM Inter Continental Ballistic
Missiles) with which to deliver them. The study also refers to thermonuclear bombs,
more commonly referred to as Hydrogen Bombs. These bombs, whose existence is
unlikely hidden from the eyes of Irans leadership, are considered to be the most terrible
weapon whose use was recorded in history. Major Powers no longer use this weapon from
fear that its activation may lead to the extinction of the human race from the face of the
earth. The recognized fear of this sort of bomb as many experts from around the world
believe could create a hydrogen balance of terror which tends to favor the Israeli side.
This situation could become a distinct possibility in the event Israel is unable to deter an
Iranian nuclear or conventional attack.

What is so frightening about the hydrogen bomb? This question has intrigued scientists
for years, many of whom who have even dedicated their lives to developing weapons of
mass destruction. They ask the following philosophical question: Is the human race
capable of producing a bomb so big and so devastating that it could destroy all life on this
planet, including the human race itself? In most cases the pessimistic answer to this
question is answered positively mainly due to mans predatory way of life. Scientists
continue under the sponsorship of power-hungry politicians, to try and find the scientific
answers that will enable the realization of an operational hydrogen-nuclear capability.

The first achievement and breakthrough by nuclear scientists was the creation of the
atomic bomb that was invented and developed by Americas Manhattan Project. This
demonic bomb was activated for the first time in human history on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
and as a result of the terrible multidimensional destruction and killing, brought World War
II to an end. But this bomb was not enough for the deadly human (Homo Murderous).
During the ensuing arms race for power following the war, when the U.S. discovered that
Soviet spies in the Manhattan Project had passed top-secret information to the Soviet
Union helping Communist world leader to get their own bomb U.S. President, Harry
Truman decided, to enter the next phase of destructive capacity: the development of a
hydrogen bomb. The goal was simple, to regain the strategic advantage over the Soviet
Union. The man who led the United States in this hydrogen path was a Jewish-
American scientist, Prof. Edward Teller, a friend of Israel, and later known as the
father of the hydrogen bomb.

Resources and efforts invested in U.S. in the development of the hydrogen bomb were also
designed to create deceptions. In the end, despite these efforts, the joke was on this great
super-power. While the echoes of the first hydrogen experiment by America on March
1, 1954 on the Pacific island of Bikini were still resounding, Soviet spies operating in the
U.S. already received accurate information about the nature of the hydrogen project and
passed it on to the Soviet Union. A physicist and Professor, named Andrei Sakharov,
headed the Soviet hydrogen system in those days. He later became one of the biggest
opponents of the communist regime and a fearless fighter for human rights.

Any attempt to draw an analogy between the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb
would be weak. To demonstrate the extent of the error inherent in this type of comparison
one should examine two numbers. The bomb type that exploded in the skies over Nagasaki
(Fat boy) had an explosive power of 15 kilotons T.N.T. (One kiloton equals one thousand
tons of T.N.T.). The terrifying power of the hydrogen bomb, created by activating a
nuclear bomb made of plutonium is measured in megatons (one Mega-ton is equal to
one million tons of T.N.T.). These dry numbers illustrate the essential difference. But to
point out to the real horror of the hydrogen bomb we should consider the facts behind the
largest hydrogen bomb experiment in human history , Tsar Bomba of the Soviets, which
had a destructive power of 50 Mega-tons and was tested over the archipelago Novaya
Zemlya on October 30, 1961.

Tzar Bomba

The Tsar Bomba (2) was a technological monster by any standard. The weight of this
Bomba was 27 tons, having a length of 8 meters and a diameter of 2 meters. The
dimensions were so great, that initially, it could not be loaded onto the largest transport
plane that was then available to the USSR, a Tupolev-95 with turbo-prop engines. To solve
the problem, aviation engineers had to almost re-build the bomb carrying space inside the
giant bomber. In the first of the required actions, the door locks of the bomb bay as well as
the extending latch were completely removed. Following the completion of other aerial-
technological tasks, the plane was ready to perform trials. In order for the Bomba to
operate on the basis of the technology of barometric pressure, not falling too quickly, it was
equipped with a special braking parachute weighing about 800 Kg.

For the human mind to grasp the full power of this demonically destructive Tsar Bomb, it
is necessary to translate the big numbers to more practically explained numbers. 50 Mega-
tons are equal in intensity to more than ten times the amount of the explosives that were
used in World War II. To this remarkable figure we need to add another deadly element that
is not reflected in World War II operations, radioactive radiation, direct and indirect. Direct
radiation results from the explosion itself. Indirect radiation rises with the giant blast flame
up to the top of the atmosphere and is then carried by wind, to all corners of the earth where
it is absorbed into vegetation and water sources. It then follows the food chain to the
human body and causes painful death or cancerous diseases as well as severe genetic
defects passed on from generation to generation.

Professor Sakharov who knew all these terrifying figures before the trial, began to fear that
the continuing nuclear arms race and hydrogen experiments performed would lead to
the clear and real danger of annihilation of the human race. The more he pondered over
the dangers of the experiment he had taken part of he became full of fear and horror. The
only person possessing the given authority to determine the fate of the experiment at the
time, and perhaps the future of humanity, was the first secretary of the Soviet Party, Nikita
Khrushchev. Sakharov wanted to talk with Khrushchev and to explain what unexpected
problems the world might face. However in the dictatorial world of the Russia in which he
lived he was afraid of two things and did not know which he should fear more, performing
the nuclear experiments or confronting Khrushchev. At the end of an agonizing dilemma
Sakharov decided almost at the last minute to take action. He called Khrushchev a day
before the experiment for the Bomba and in a brief conversation Sakharov described the
dangers of the experiment and its results. Im very concerned, explained Sakharov, if we
carry-out the experiment, radioactive fallout resulting from the air blast will cause the
unnecessary death of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Khrushchev tried to reassure the worried scientist. I assure you, he told Sakharov we
will check carefully what can be done to delay the experiment.

Sakharov took Khrushchevs words seriously, almost as a binding promise on behalf of

Khrushchev. For this reason he was very surprised to discover that on the very next day, the
experiment was carried out as planned in a test site on the island of Novaya Zemlya (3). It
was the exact date the annual Soviet Communist Party congress was held, and Khrushchev
chose it to be able to present the achievement of the Soviet Union, as well as his own to the
world.

The experiments outcome and results were much more horrible than anticipated by
Sakharov. The Bomba was detonated over Novaya Zemlya at 11:32 am, at 4000 m
above sea level, north of the Arctic Circle. The fireball, climbing into the sky following the
explosion, reached a height of 60 kilometers, more than the distance between Tel Aviv to
Caesarea for example. The diameter of the blast was around 30-40 kilometers, more than
the distance between Tel Aviv and Netanya. The light of the blast was clearly visible to a
range of 1000 km from the center, and the heat of the blast was so intense it could cause a
third-degree burn to any person standing within a range of 100 km. The explosion caused
seismic noises recorded in all monitoring stations around the world and reached the level of
5.25 on the Richter scale of earthquakes. The thunder of the explosion moved around the
Earth three times. Hundreds of kilometers from the blast wooden houses were destroyed
and stone houses lost their tiled roofs, doors and windows. All radio transmissions in the
area went silent for over an hour.

A witness to the explosion stationed in a most remote location said: At first I saw a bright
light to the degree of blinding whiteness, mute and without sound. Just a few minutes later
there was a roar of heavy thunder, inhuman, like the roar of a murderous dragon from hell,
as if the earth were dying and screaming the cry of the end of its life.

A Soviet military team led by General Nikolai Pavlov studied and photographed the bombs
performance in a monitoring station placed within 1000 km from the explosion. They had
concluded the phenomenon with simple words that said it all: All the mountains on the
blast site were just deleted and the land was leveled as if someone wanted to make of
the island a smooth skating surface. Everything that was in a range of 25 km from the
blast zone, disappeared from the earth as if it just evaporated.

After the Soviet nuclear scientists had examined the dreadful results of the hydrogen
explosion they reached the conclusion that this nuclear option could not be used as a
tactical or strategic weapon because it was actually much more than that. This weapon was
a device for the destruction of cities and nations. It became clear to all parties concerned, in
the Soviet Union as well as in the U.S., that the use of such a hydrogen bomb could wipe
out any large European city, including its suburbs and satellite cities. Using such a strong
bomb in Europe, for example, would mean the destruction of a whole nation or at best a
substantial part of it. This effect as well as the radioactive fallout of a bomb of this type, if
used on the heart of the UK, would kill millions in the direct explosion and hundreds of
thousands more from exposure to radioactive radiation in countries almost reaching to the
Russian border. *

As part of Israels drive to obtain a nuclear option, many Israeli scientists have asked
questions about this deterrent while taking into consideration all concerns for an enemy
attack that could pose a second Holocaust for the Jewish people. These questions have been
published in the media around the world perhaps in an attempt to solve the riddles and the
mystery regarding the nuclear path. What would these scientists do if they were to arrive at
the door of the hydrogen-nuclear world, and then continue to break through it. There are no
reliable answers to these questions. A prevailing view within the scientific-intelligence
world, including American intelligence studies, is that the answer is yes. Israel has
hydrogen bombs for strategic targets and it is likely to play the ultimate protector to
ensure the continued and secure existence of Israel.

Whether information about the Israeli hydrogen bomb is true or false really doesnt matter.
What matters is the threat contained therein regarding Irans continued existence as a state.
To understand how deep and scary this threat can be, it is important to know the extent of
the hydrogen destruction Israel can cause following a possible attack on an Iranian target
such as Tehran, the capital of the ruling Ayatollahs.

Tehran is the political, economic and social center of Iran. More than half of Irans industry
is based in the city, automobile manufacturing, electrical products, textiles, weapons, sugar
and chemicals. This metropolitan area is home to approximately 12 million inhabitants.
According to sources a small Hydrogen bomb set off over the skies of Tehrans in
response to an Iranian nuclear attack on Tel Aviv, can wipe out millions. Iran, whose
fundamentalist leaders are doing everything possible to destroy Israel, would cease to exist.
Strategical, security, and political experts worldwide are convinced that the Iranian
leadership, whoever they are, and as threatening as they may be, cannot (now or in the
future) ignore this frightening hydrogen threat dangling over their heads like a hanging
sword on Judgment Day.

US Air Force Says Israel Has

400 Atomic And Hydrogen Bombs

A United States Air Force report asserts that Israel is building a nuclear naval force
meant to respond to any nuclear strike by such countries as Iran or Iraq.

It is the first time a U.S. military institution has stated that Israel has produced a
hydrogen bomb. The number of purported Israeli nuclear weapons cited in the
report is double that of previous assessments.

The report, sponsored by the air force's Counterproliferation Center, asserts that
the navy can deploy any of what it asserts is Israel's 400 atomic and hydrogen
weapons, Middle East Newsline reported. The center is located in the Maxwell Air
Force Base in Alabama.

In a report entitled "The Third Temple's Holy of Holies: Israel's Nuclear Weapons,"
U.S. Army Col. Warner Farr said Israel's nuclear arsenal has grown from an
estimated 13 nuclear bombs in 1967 to 400 nuclear and thermonuclear weapons.
Farr said Israel's navy could deploy nuclear weapons on the fleet of three German-
built Dolphin-class diesel submarines.

"Israel will then have a second strike capability with nuclear cruise missiles, and
this capability could well change the nuclear arms race in the Middle East," the
report, which Farr said is based on unclassified sources, read. "Israeli rhetoric on
the new submarines labels them 'national deterrent' assets."

The report said these nuclear missiles could have a range of 350 kilometers. Israel
would try to base its nuclear naval force near Oman, with which Israel has
informal relations, the September 1999 report, which was recently published by
the center, said.

"The first basing options for the new second-strike force of nuclear missile capable
submarines include Oman, an Arab nation with unofficial Israeli relations, located
strategically near Iran," the report said.
The U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center was established in 1998. The
center is meant to help prepare air force commanders counter the threat from
weapons of mass destruction. The report did not deem Israel's purported nuclear
arsenal as a direct threat to the United States.

The report said Israel's Defense Ministry has requested from the government of
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon authorization for a retaliatory nuclear strike. Israel
could also use Jordanian air space for a nuclear strike on Iran, which the report
said could produce a nuclear warhead as early as 2004.

I've been telling my American friends for years not to mess with Israel. We are the
world's 4th or 5th strongest nuclear power...nice to finally see it in print. That's
why toady Bush is powerless to infleunce the policies of the Sharon government.
The US continues to give us many billions a year! ... most of which has gone into
building our nuclear weapons, fund our West Bank settlements, and pay for our
spies and intelligence services! You don't like Israeli policy? Tough sh*t! You
funded it all and we did the rest! 400 nuclear warheads...minimum. Remember
that. Now, just imagine what our biological weapons scientists have cooked up and
have sitting on the shelf, ready to go. Get this: NO ONE is EVER going to force
Israel to do anything against its will. Try it, world, and find out what happens.
