Israel Considers Pre-Emptive Attack On Iran

This would be a bad move for Israel. Anti-Israel sentiment (er... I meant anti- Zionist) Is pretty high. This would only give the enemies of Israel (darn it... Zionist) more fodder. If they do engage with a preemptive strike, they'd better have infallible reason and evidence. They'd better be prepared for the backlash... they better consider every single possible outcome... such as dragging allies into yet another M.E. conflict.

 

An attack on Iran would be a suicidal move for Israel.

 

Or it could be the best of all options. It's not like the situation with Iran is ever going to get better and the Ayatollah suddenly decide that Israel is worthy of existence. The death cult Hamas will never have an epiphany of awareness at the futility of their continued aggression. Surrounding neighbors will never accept them.

Better to choose the timing of the inevitable on your own terms than to allow sworn enemies dictate the schedule to their advantage.

I admire your intellect and well-thought-out, convincing and logical arguments. LOL

I'll tell you what, put your money where your mouth is. If/when Israel attacks Iran, sell all your toys, mortgage your mom's house, max out your dad's credit cards, borrow lunch money from all your friends and bet everything you got on Israel's imminent demise - short the Israeli stock market. What do you have to lose, right, Israel is committing suicide, you'll be a billionaire in no time, George Soros will be shining your shoes.

PS don't forget to post a copy of your brokerage statement here so that we know that you believe in what your spew.

 

I expect Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear development facilities. I just don't know when. Maybe we could have something like a betting pool of when the attack will occur and the winner gets this:

 

If it happens, it will be a bigger disaster (and not only for the region but on a much larger, even global scale) than those who keep advocating an Israeli attack on Iran, can even begin to imagine.

Thanks. Having read some of your comments here on the subject, I unfortunately can't say the same for your posts, sir.

 

Or it could finally resolve the issue once and for all assuring the next century of peace and security without fanatics firing unguided missiles into their country, remove the threat of an unstable fanatical country from having their hands on a nuclear weapon, and end the support of terrorists in the region.

Iran wants it, Hamas wants it, Hezbollah wants it. They have promised it. They advocate it. Israel should accommodate them. Maybe it is bigger than anything they have ever imagined despite their incessant bellicose and belligerent rhetoric.

Maybe, like other times in the past, they may get more than they bargained for?

 

For the past 60 years, one's ability to exercise violence has been the main focus, and the result of such has always been more violence. Maybe a non-violent approach would be a wise alternate?

 

The reason Israel might attack Iran now is because Barack Obama is the American president, and he won't do anything about it. America is adrift.

 

Do as we say not as we do?

 

More like the laughing stock of the international community.

 

Do you think your words have any impact on Americans or will cause us to alter our conduct? War is coming to the Middle East. It is clearly foreseeable. Many will die. It isn't a laughing matter.

 

It is possible that such words don't have any impact on some Americans. some Americans are so glued to Fox News, that they are not aware that the world is laughing at them.

As for war in the middle east, the idea of hated Semites slaughtering each other has always been a far-right fantasy.

 

After decades of having discussed these matters with countless Americans and Israelis online and in real life, the only conclusion I can come to is that the majority of them are beyond help. Sad? Yes. True? Yes.

Yes, it will. Believe me, I am not laughing at that prospect at all. I'm afraid that millions of innocent people will eventually have to suffer and most likely pay the ultimate price for such mind-boggling ignorance and stupidity.

Stop bothering me.

 

History is neither linear nor cyclical. It has no trajectory. It is purely random. What makes it seem like history repeats itself is the limited repertoire of human behavior. That makes things sort of predictable.

No one truly wants war, but war is now inevitable in the Middle East. The only thing America can do is get out of the way as soon as possible.

 

Ooooh.... So, Iran is testing missiles like every other nation in the world. This proves nothing about nothing.

Ooooh.... So, Israel is testing missiles like every other nation in the world. This proves nothing about nothing.

Is it not so that one must test a missile to know if it works? Nations testing missiles does not indicate that Semites are going to slaughter each other, as demanded by the far-right extreme.

 

It is impossible for hated Semites to not slaughter each other, simply because nations test missiles?

 

You are correct in the sense that ballistic missile tests are designed to test ballistic missiles. But that is the limit of your insight.

Sometimes ballistic missile tests are designed to convey messages. But when they are conducted in secret they are like Gavrilo Princip loading his revolver before his encounter with the Grand Duke.

 

Events have taken on a life of their own. No one is in control any longer.

 

Sure, but that doesn't mean that anyone is going to fire anything at anyone. Nations often like to flex their muscles, but usually nothing results from such.

 

In israel,there is a large debate over the option of a military attack on iran,I'm pretty certain that most of you watched the footages that the israeli forces released yesterday to show its practice with the italian army and the german army.Israel is not as weak as you suppose and much of what you think about israel is absolutely wrong,we've one of the most developed nuclear centres all over the world and along with the usa israel maintains wide storages of destructive ammunition.I think an attack iran is mandatory because the iranian threat to the whole world just increasingly expands,it must be obsructed before it's too late (As far as we all know,Iran is nowadays working on heavy protection for its nuclear industry to avoid any upcoming danger).England has already declared that it's going to take part in the war on iran,where the biggest threat is manufactured.The remaining countries must realize israel is considering a military attack for the global safety,which is obviously in danger.Iran with nuclear facility is an absolute menance to the continuteous worldwide mellow and has to be stymied as rapidly as possible.

 

This amounts to a confession that the menace to the world is Israel. You really can't see that, can you.

 

Israel is not hazardous at all ! in fact it helped turkey recover from the devastating earthquake a few days ago despite lacking relations with its government. It definitely proves that israel is helpful and knows to help when any country is in trouble. I don't oppose that you dislike israel for its policy in the south (gaza) but you should not relate it to another matters whose meanings are totally different.

 

Israel may have a tactical problem similar to the one America had in 1944 with Japan. Because of the Japanese pattern of dispersal of it war industries, and the Japanese method of construction, it was impossible to use high explosives to do the job as it was in Europe.

America developed a new approach to the problem. It stopped attempting to do precision attacks on military installations and industries. Instead it started to fire bomb Japanese cities. The approach is laid out in a book now out of print called A Torch To The Enemy. Firestorms engulfed entire cities and in the process spread to military installations and industries. The Japanese people suffered unimaginable horror. God help the Iranian people for what lies in store for them.
