Iran has declared war, threatening to "wipe Israel off the map." It would be foolish and criminally irresponsible to minimize this threat. Iran will soon have the nuclear weapon to fulfill this Islamic goal.
Since Israel cannot depend on the United States to prevent Iran from getting the bomb, or protect Israel by means of a nuclear shield, Israel must preempt even if this will only delay the Iran's nuclear development.
Israel's government must understand that a nuclear armed Iran will (1) curtail Jewish immigration to Israel; (2) increase the exodus of Jews from Israel—those having means and talents to settle in another country; (3) decrease the birthrate of Jews in Israel; (4) increase the proportion of Arabs in the Knesset via the charming democratic principle of one adult-one vote; (5) diminish economic investment and development in Israel; (6) increase Arab terrorist attack on Israel from both Hamas and Hezbollah—all of which points to the end of the Jewish state.
Now, this state of affairs demands that Israel replace its dysfunctional system of government where five or six or more rival parties form the Cabinet. Israel requires a presidential system and for reasons best articulated by Alexander Hamilton the Federalist Papers as the present writer has proposed during the past two decades.
During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln acted as a dictator, as did Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, respectively, in the First and Second World Wars. Israel cannot afford a plural executive consisting of the leaders of rival political parties, each with its own priorities and ambitions.
An alternative remedy is to increase the parliamentary electoral threshold to 10 percent, as was proposed by David Ben-Gurion. Of course this will be opposed by the small parties, but that is precisely why Israel urgently needs a unitary or presidential system of government.
We're at war kindelach, and if you want to have grandchildren in Israel, you'd better act NOW!
