[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]

Perhaps Israel shouldn’t have gotten Trump to blow up the Iran nuclear deal then.[/quote]

The Iran nuclear deal was a joke.  We all know that.  [/quote]

It wasn’t a joke. Netanyahu kept claiming  a nuclear Iran would be an existential threat to Israel so Obama found a non violent way to get Iran to stop production in favor of cash.

Stopping one bad option with another bad option perhaps but why should Iran be shamed for funding their proxies? If they lose the ability to produce nuclear a, they need a safety for deterrence and portraying  dominance with their satellite groups in their nemesis’ (Saudi and Israel’s)  backyard (Houthis , Hezbollah ) is their antidote to no longer having nuclear capability .

Personally , I think they’ve been freaked out since Bush’s Axis of Evil speech and I don’t blame them. You know, you really shouldn’t let someone know they’re next on the list [/quote]
