Well you guys can have all the stats and whatever you want to, but Iran is still sitting there enticing the rest of the Muslim community to hate. Not all American Jews agree with what Israel is doing with Palestine, or would agree that an attack on Iran is needed because they really posed a credible military threat. Not when they also understand the potential consequences and risks of such an action.

The way things have played out so far, Iran is still sitting there because no one can come up with credible evidence that they have the nuclear weapons or delivery systems even to threaten Israel with nuclear destruction. If they did, things might be different.

But if and when that time comes, it may still be a better, though risky play for Israel to increase shielding systems and learn to live with it. But from all indications, that is just not going to happen- and given their tiny size geographically, I can see why.

One thing is becoming clearer though, that it will take both Israeli and US agreements, and maybe involving other countries too, on when and if Iran gets attacked at all. Until they are in agreement and show the public the evidence, I just don't see it happening. No public support. It would be the death of the Obama Administration if he tried it right now with all our economic problems.

What is up with these irrational outbursts?

Oracle you go girl, never mind such myopic hypersensitives.
