http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/29/w...kely-if-israel-strikes.html?_r=1&pagewanted=2 Since it is the capital of israel, i wouldnt think so.
I think Israel will be looking at more than 40 missiles hitting them if they attacked Iran. They will be getting attacked from Iran who have thousands of missiles that can reach Israel and I would think that Hizbollah and Hamas would likely join in and if it looks really bad for Israel others may join as well,maybe Syria,Egypt. The outlook does not look good if they do attack Iran. I do not think they will attack Iran anyway without the Americans taking the lead.
What makes you think arab states will get involved into an Israeli/Iranian conflict that has nothing to do with them? Is not Israel surrounded by friendly benign peaceful regimes that mind their own business and are not hostile to Israel? LOL That said you are confusing the Arab street with arab goverments. The arab street will undoubtedly be enraged, aren't they always. The governments are certainly too smart to even move a finger. They don't want Iran to go nuclear any more than Israel does, more importantly they don't want their countries to lose half of their infrastructure in a Tel Aviv minute. They will do some loud-mouth public condemnations, perhaps a UN resoluton or ten and cheer Israel on behind the scenes.
Iran won't do it...they'll just tell every they will, except thier own people, then when Israel or the US threatens them, they'll tell the Iranian people "look how we're getting harrassed"...."evil old Israel and the Great Satan" They should be ignored...no matter what they do short of firing the missiles. That'll be the worst thing that's happened to them since the war with Iraq.
Irans missles are on par if not better then those used by iraq on isreal. the fallout for isreal would certainly be much more this time around.
The Missile defense system Israel has is far better also and then there is the ample warning time added
Mossad chief: Nuclear Iran not necessarily existential threat to Israel Tamir Pardo says Israel using various means to foil Iran's nuclear program, but if Iran actually obtained nuclear weapons, it would not mean destruction of Israel. http://www.haaretz.com/print-editio...ssarily-existential-threat-to-israel-1.404227
Iran knows better as long as Israel is getting aid from the United States, it would be foolish, even dropping a nuke on Israel would be a mistake.
In other words under the best of circumstances Israel will always be praying that Iran does not act foolishly...Cause in the worst case scenario Iran will make the 'mistake' and half of Israel's population will heat to 1,000 degrees in less than a second, the repercussions to Iran notwithstanding. Let alone the possibility that the US will withdraw it's support or is weakened and can't help, or Iran finds a suitcase and a willing shahid to sneak the bomb into Tel Aviv...or will just intensify attacks against Israel through its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah under the invulnerability of their nuclear umbrella.... Hmm if Israel just waits the scenarios are abound, too bad none of them seems to bode well for Israel. Thanks but no thanks.
Not quite. Iron Dome wasn't all that great. Sure, it had a 75% success rate - against the rocket/firecrackers from Gaza. That said, rockets still hit those open "Israeli" fields, despite Iron Dome. As far as I know, Iron Dome has never been tested in an actual war. And, even if it was, the IDF can no longer afford the $100 000 rockets for it. "Israel" wouldn't be able to handle the thousands of rockets they'll face. Hezbollah alone is expected to have at least 10 000. Some even higher, around 45 000. Then, theres Iran, of course, who actually has an army. "Israel" couldn't handle Hezbollah one-on-one.
Sure it is.. They know Iran isn't going to attack Israel. This is political extortion.. Bibi wants a free hand in Lebanon and to continue annexing land and building settlements.
Oh, of course, what was I thinking, thank you for setting me straight. Ahmadinejad is just kidding when he is threatening daily to wipe Israel off the map. He is just messing with them, isn't he? How can a tyrant threatening to exterminate jews be taken seriously, this has never happened before and can't possibly happen in the future, right?
Link where Ahmadinejad declared who was going to destroy Israel. Nobody was mentioned and at the going rate, Zionism is Israel's greatest threat. This is foolish Holocaust abuse designed to fool gullible American Guilt Complex members. The only one who is expressing an interest in "exterminate jews" is you. Thus, Zionism is indeed a great threat to Israel, as your writings demonstrate.
Just repeating fiction is not going to do you much good really. If you repeat it a thousand times and I am thinking you probably have already is not going to make it a fact. Your play consists of parroting stuff that is on every zionist supporting website on the internet. Now if you were dealing with people with little or no education then that might work but you are communicating with people who know the history and are abreast of current events and are not impressed with cut and paste from rightwing sites. You could post all year long here and you will not change one persons mind or convince them that you are correct because when it boils down to the facts you are not dealing in any. You should save yourself the effort as it is just wasted energy.
Nov. 2002 Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has called on the international community to target Iran as soon as the imminent conflict with Iraq is complete. February 9, 2002: Sharon Argues that Iran A Strategic Threat to Israel Ariel Sharon. [Source: US Department of Defense]Prime Minister Ariel Sharon meets with President George W. Bush. According to the Haaretz Daily, the goal of the meeting is to convince the United States that Iran constitutes a strategic threat to Israel. [Ha'aretz, 2/9/2002] February 2005: Sharon Authorizes Israeli Attack on Irans Nuclear Facilities During a private meeting of Ariel Sharons inner cabinet at the prime ministers private ranch in the Negev desert, Sharon gives initial authorization for an attack on Irans nuclear facilities. [Sunday Times (London), 3/13/2005]
Why shouldn't Iranian cities be reduced? They are totally open and undefended. Bust the Iranian cities...blow up their dams...poison their water sources. What's the problem here?
Israel chanting for 20 years that Iran is a threat, does not prove that Iran is a threat. Rather, such proves that Israel is convinced that gullible American Guilt Complex members can be fooled into supporting the wrong cause.
Genocide, racism, unconditional hatred...... that's so Israel (slang for insulting)! Murdering millions of innocent civilians might be a pleasure to Israel, but not anyone else.
LOL So? Iran is a strategic threat to Israel? Really? No sh*t? What else is new? Duh! And an alleged unconfirmed authorization by a former (virtually dead) leader that has not been implemented in 7 years is the best you can come up with? LOL don't despair Saudi girl, some day you might have a real argument.
