It's Official: Israel Not Ready for War

(IsraelNN.com) Israel is not ready for a full scale war, whether it takes place this summer or next, according to the directors of several government ministries.

As far as bomb shelters are concerned, "Israel has a 'shelter gap' of NIS five billion," the Director of the Prime Minister's Office, Raanan Di-Nur said Wednesday. "This kind of gap is not closed overnight, and we will not be ready either this summer or the next with shelters for all of the citizens."

The Director of the Defense Ministry, Pinchas Buchris, said that while the north was almost fully equipped with shelters, the area from central Israel to the Akko-Amiad road was only 70%-80% covered by shelters. As regards gas masks against chemical or biological attack, he said that "there is no solution right now for masks for the general public in case of war, if it breaks out now. You can't take care of millions of masks overnight."



This is criminal Israel has never not been at war, how can we allow ourselves not to be ready for war at the drop of a hat?

People should lose their jobs over this and if senior people have retired and they allowed this, they should loose their pensions.
