Israel has a huge political lobby in the US, but do Americans approve of it? Web journalist Lori Harfenist went out-and-about in New York to find out whether the public supports the idea of a preemptive strike on Iran.
If Israel ever does consider attacking Iran, with or without America's blessing... It will end in Israel's destruction!
Didn't Israel wipe Palestine off the map? Maps are just maps. I think the jest of this statement is the objection to the UN creating Israel in the first place with the partition plan that went against the will of the people who lived in the region. If you read an interview of Begin with the New York Times on May 23, 1947, you will quickly find that it was always the intention to seize the other half when it was militarily possible. But, the sad fact is that this situation will never resolve itself after 4,000 years of the two decendents from the same father continue to fight a family feud. It is pretty sad for all concerned and I don't think it will be solved in my lifetime or the lifetime of anyone now living unless there is some recognition on both sides that going down this current path leads to nowhere.
I am sick and tired of most of the people out there complaining that Isreal is a war mongering country. Isreal had been striving for more than 500 years to become a country. They have been beaten down by every empitre since biblical times. Now that they have a country, they have endured countless attacks verballly, personally and geographically. Hamas hasn't stopped their contant bombs. Iran keeps saying they'll wipe Isreal off the map, etc... God gave Abraham Isreal for the Isreali people. Arabs were never mentioned. Allah never gave Mohammed Isreal. So when Isreal was named a country, finally they had their land back since the Egyptions, Babalonians, Summarians, the Romans, Ottomans, Persians, British, etc... occupied them. Then in 1967 or was it 1976 it was the Palestinians and the neighboring Arab states. The Arabs lost land and now they are whinning that they are being persecuted. Well I have news for them. You started it Israel finished it. They already gave you the West Bank and Gaza. Egypt got the Sinai Peninsula back. Lebanon got back southern Lebanon. As for Syria, you never signed a peace deal so you don't get the Golan Heights back. So to all you nay sayers out there, Iran needs to be stopped. The UN Security Council needs to install unbearable sanctions to get Iran to stop the enrichment of Uranium. Also, let Israel alone and stop the hating and attacks on them.
BIG mistake, I mean big mistake if isreal attack IRAN, not only it won't solve anything for isreal, it could be back fire in isreals face.
It will be a disaster if Israel attack Iran, Iran is not Iraq...Israel want to attack because of the nuclear weapon, Israel too has nuclear weapon. The law should be for everybody "no nuclear weapon ", period.Don't we have enough problems, the world becoming scary.
I'm back. Should Isreal attack? Hell yes. The Us doesn't have to sanction their decision. Isreal can handle Iran. They were able to beat back four arab countries in a four day war. Isreal will not be destroyed. They will win and ruin Iran. Let Isreal bomb Iran back into the stone age. If the US decides to give its blessing, help their planes refuel on the way home by loaning them a tanker. Then we won't have to bother with Iran and its corrupt regime.
No, Israel and Iran should help each other to go Solar and Nuclear and etc. peacefully, because they both gain more by peace than by war. Besides both are the children of Abraham from different wives: one from Sara and other from Katura.
As soon as Iran tests a nuclear weapon they will be wiped off the map, the desert will be turned to glass :) If they do it above ground or under we have the ability to detect it. The world will not accept a nuclear Iran. It will not only be Israel at that point, there will be many countries willing to end this once Iran's true intentions are exposed. By the way, it will not be the end of Israel, I don't remember anyone coming to Sadams rescue. .










That is a strange question. No one has a "right" to attack anybody.
