Video: Fox News to Israel --- How about Bombing Iran?

OK, so no one should expect journalistic objectivity when Fox News interviews the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, Danny Ayalon, but there is a special intensity about this clip from Sunday. It's Fox, rather than Ayalon, setting the agenda with the opening "question" about Israel's "routine" military exercises, "There's nothing routine when Iran continues its nuclear plans, defies the United Nations Security Council, and repeatedly Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vows to wipe Israel off the map."

Of course, Ayalon is happy --- in line with Tel Aviv's strategy --- to put Iran rather than, say, Palestine first. However, the Deputy Foreign Minister (who, like Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, is a member of the "right-wing" Israel-Beitenu Party) comes across as the dove in this conversation. He holds out for economic sanctions against Iran's "existential threat" as Fox's anchorman presses for a military response.
