Should Israel attack distracted Iran now?

US said "big no" on Israeli attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. So there will be no attack until it changes. Israeli air force needs to go through number of other countries to bomb Iran, and there is much better radar equipment then in Iraq strike days.
Also, i am not sure if this attack would bring even smallest positive thing for Israel in the long run. And it would surely bring a lot of negative things in a short one.
However, as far as justification for attack goes, Iran not only throws threats at Israel (sorry, Zionist regime - since Israel is taboo) but also arms, trains and pays for Hizbollah. Which is attacking Israel.

Only if they want to start a Nuclear World War III...


The world is TOO precarious for something as volatile as that...

Sure, why not. Go for it, Israel, it could only end well, I'm sure. What could possibly go wrong?

Did we forget about Gaza '09 already?

Hmmmm..... Gaza, oh thats right, the military action against a terrorist organsiation using human sheilds that was launching rackets at innocent civilians? Yea, Israel "started" that war.

You people always claiming Israel is going to attack this one or that one really ignore history. Israel has never STARTED a war against anyone. They only FINISH wars.

As far as Iran, don't hold your breath. Israel wont and can't do anything without the permission of the US president, and last I checked the current one is a closet muslim.

Palestinians terrorists???...come on man...they are just farmers who once owned a land....down with Israel and their money and there NWO and their news agency and their holocaust and their religion too

Israel did start the war at the beginning of 09 actually,and explain how elections funded and overseen by the EU,declared democratic and fair with hamas being elected are viewed as a "terrorist" organization? sorry they are a legitimate political party... you may not like them(I don't) but if killing civilians = terrorist organization it seems the Uk and USA and Israel are all run by terrorist organizations.

Thank you Zerbst for bringing some accuracy and integrity to this thread.

Worldnutdaily... I think they've probably been responsible for more nonsense threads on ATS than any other publication. People take what they say as fact and tie themselves up in all sorts of BS.

And every time you find people repeating that tired old "wipe Israel off the map" nonsense, and the one about Iran being a nuclear threat. These lies come up again and again.

A fact that many people don't know about Iran: they have a large Jewish community who like living there and wouldn't want to move to Israel. All this crying "anti-semitism" is spin.

Somebody with a brain to actually find the truth and bring some light.

Thanks for that post.



In my eyes and don't care what anybody say I will see, Israel daring to attack a vulnerable country that has done anything to them at this point as the lowest of the earth.

People tend to get blinded by silly dreams of what if and what not. An Attack to Iran now will actually unify that nation more than ever the protest will be forgotten just to get unified and fight an outside enemy.

People think it doesn't cost anything and is free you know.

Iran actually has the second largest population of jews in the ME apart from Israel(i know technically iran is asia) seems strange for a country which hates jews.And given the fact there is an open door policy for jews if they want to migrate to israel...seems strange Iranian jews dont since Iran is such a terrible place for them and all.

Well if so they first have to extract their Mossad agents who might play a vital role at this moment in the big cities in Iran..On the other hand, no one knows what the outcome of the protest will be , as long as the clerics stay, the threat may still exist and an attack might come as a big surprise without them able to react in an efficient way...
A war at this moment may unite Iran and their army, it could also split and divide the army even further

In answer to your question: No.

Nobody should be attacking anybody.

This is exactly what is wrong with the world now.

When will we ever learn?

What has Iran done to Israel? Well just recently with the Lebanon Israeli War in 2006, Iran fought Israel by proxy with their thugs Hezbollah. It is widely known that Iran is the provider of training and funding for Hezbollah their foreign activities arm. So if you want to cut to the chase, Iran has been at war with Israel because of their partnership with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Hezbollah have never ever operated outside of lebanon - they don`t use suicide bombers , as quite frankly the burnt out merkava 4`s and crippled warships says they have far better toys.

and terrorist? only 6 countriees on the planet say they are terrorist - the other 280 odd say there not.


(and more countries say israel is a terrorist regime)

Who are you kidding? Hezbollah crossed the Israeli border and attacked Israeli soldiers on patrol along the border and killed some soldiers and captured two. This act was planned by launching rockets at Israeli villages along the border as a diversion.

July 12:

» Hezbollah captures two Israeli soldiers and kills eight.

» Israel launches air strikes and sends ground troops into Lebanon for the first time since its 2000 pullout.

www.dailystar.com.lb...


That alone is an act of war and operating outside the confines of Lebanon. This how the war in 2008 began. Again, Hezbollah is Iran's proxy against Israel.

Hello Ken, and yes the US supplies arms to Israel. However, I don't think the US is fighting the Palestinians by proxy as you state. Whatever, Israel decides to do with the weapons provided is on them and not the country that provides such arms. Like the saying goes: "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." However, it is naive to believe that Iran wasn't involved in the conflict of 2006 when it is widely known that Hezbollah works with Iran.

Oh yes Israel would never run to America and ask for their backing before starting an offensive so America would veto anything at the UN...not at all.

No Ken, you got it all wrong!

His logic is that it's okay, but only if it supports Israel! Everyone else is a terrorist when they support a cause.
