[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dissenting view here, but I think the US's lack of support is forcing Israel's hand. They are now going it alone against an existential threat, so they really have no choice but to attempt to destroy their enemy while Israel still has the military upper hand against Israel. If Israel waits around, it just gives Iran more time to refine their weapons, build their nukes, etc.

This is similar to the story that Putin often repeats about when he chased a large rat around the "dvor" courtyard in the housing project he grew up in. He was thrilled to corner the rat and thought he won. Then the rat attacked him and he realized that cornering an enemy can actually put you at greater risk.

As Israel looks to the left and right and sees no allies next to her and an enemy blocking her, she has no choice but to lunge at the enemy. Anyone who expects a different outcome does not understand international politics. [/quote]

Israel cannot defeat Iran and they aren't trying to.  They're trying to defeat Hamas. Whether they can do that or not is a different question.  [/quote]

Israel is by far a superior military force compared to Iran. Iran is funding Hamas and Israel has no illusions about the head of this snake. [/quote]

What does this even mean?  Sure, Israel can evade Iran's air defenses and bomb some strategic targets there.  But Israel has no ability to "destroy" Iran.[/quote]

Israel can’t even destroy Hamas or Hezbollah let alone Iran. They want us to destroy Iran.[/quote]

Well let’s see, Iran is the only country where the destruction of the state of Israel is literally in their constitution and a stated goal of their government … despite that, the country/government that would be the happiest if the US “destroyed” Iran is not Israel but Saudi Arabia. [/quote]

Saudi Arabia and Israel should join forces and attack Iran.[/quote]

Population of Saudi 36 million, population of Israel 9 million( only 7 million allowed to in the military) vs Iran 88 million. Israel and Saudi fought a 10 year war in Yemen and lost. The Saudi suck as fighters, the Israeli can not draft enough citizens to fill its military(60k) and almost a 1/3 of Israelis are exempt from the draft. The exempt ultra orthodox say they will leave the country before fighting for Israel. I really think many non orthodox israelis at this point would refuse to be drafted to fight Iran. So yeah sounds like a great plan.  :roll: [/quote]
