On Sunday Winograd lashed out at Netanyahu and Barak for advocating a strike on Iran despite senior defense establishment officials having voiced opposition to a strike. "All of the heads of the defense establishment, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the Mossad, both former and current, and Military Intelligence, everyone is saying 'Don't attack!', and only Barak and Netanyahu have decided yes?"
Mofaz questioned Netanyahu's ability to lead saying that he found the prime minister "confused, stressed out and unfocused" during a meeting between the two last week.

Winograd charged that both Barak and Netanyahu were acting irresponsibly in advocating a unilateral strike on Iran. "You are going to endanger our entire country, everything that we have built. Both the country physically and the economy."
He slammed Barak for his comments that no more than 500 Israelis would die in a potential Iranian counterstrike. "No more than 500 killed, did you count, do you know? I don't know what your considerations are. It is irresponsibility of the highest order," he

Going by the comments following the article most readers are all for attacking Iran and ignoring the consequences.
I am beginning to think that Israel has now become a sideshow for USA. It's like they have raised a child, nurtured it through early years, guided it through puberty, and now as a petulent teenager acting like they are high on drugs the US are getting fed up with it and about to show it the door.
If Israel wants to take on Iran and all it's supporters go ahead it will make a great show. May the best side win.
I'm putting bets on there will be more than 500 Israeli's dead though.
I fully agree with one poster that in the end the 'real' Jews will remain in the Holy Land living in harmony with the other muslim and christian semites.
The fake Jews will either be dead, or flee back to whatever part of the world they came from.
Lets face facts, these imported Jews have another place to go home to. The Iranians, the Palestinians are already in their home and have nowhere else to go.

I don't think there is a single human being anywhere in the world who wants to see a nuclear conflict. US and Russia have had a MAD standoff for a long time and both sides know it is not really an option.
I truly believe that if anybody was to make a move towards setting off one of these weapons then they would be obliterated first by the super powers.
Israel must be quite high on the target list for US and Russia as well as other countries such as UK and France who would blast Israel off the map long before Iran could.

This is inevitable if you remove nukes from the equation.
they won't destroy the world, they'll just end up destroying themselves.
By that time it will probably only be China with the capability to send trillions, and I think that Israel will get a taste of its own medicine that it happily gave to the Palestinians.
then it will be up to the american taxpayer to send trillions to rebuild the country.
Even without out striking first most of the world would not help them considering what they have done to people.
they'll get no help from the international community because they struck first and brought any retaliation on themselves.
Probably but when you say first you need to consider that we have already committed acts of war against them i.e. sanctions which are starving innocent people as we speak.
iran could have a million nukes, but if they use them first, then america will completely destroy every living soul in iran.
There are a few things needed to take this into context. Unlike the West and Israel who do litreally want to destroy Iran and kill its innocent people, Iran simply wants the Israeli regime to end. And you need to remember that Israel has been threatening Iran a long time before they ever reacted.
despite all the iranian rhetoric of destroying israel, its to rally the cause and nothing more.
