Question

Do you think that the Israeli military should take out the Iranian threat?

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

your an idiot. What are you a general in the army. I think they know more about fighting wars then you do. Anyway, its not that simple. there are other, more threatening problems facing israel. How about Pakistan now. A nuclear country that could fall to fundamentalist ideals when the people realize their government is extremely corrupt (not so say they don't know already). Its going to be like Germany, a country in crisis turning to someone that will restore their "greatness". I'd be more affraid of pakistan by far right now.

Answer 3

No, I don't think so.  Only when God says for them to attack Israel.  That is why they created the Israel 'Defense' Force, not Israel "Invade" Force.  They establish their military protocol in the boundaries of the 613 Mitzvot.  They don't attack until provoked!

Answer 4

No.  Because, unlike the Iraqi reactor they destroyed, they could not do this unilaterally.  It would necessarily involve the US, either to turn a blind eye or to directly abet.  The Iranian response would be to make Iraq and Afghanistan h**l.  And they could do it too.  There's no need for our SMs to die for an impossible goal.  If the Iranains want nukes they'll get them.

Look at the linked map below of Iranian nuclear sites.  How does Israel get bombs to Iran without going through Iraq?  They either have to go way up and around through Syria and Turkey or over through Saudi Arabia.  Plus the Iranians learned from Iraq, their stuff is all buried underground.

Answer 5

Yes, I do.  With extreme prejudice.

Answer 6

They will definitely take out Iran, they hit Syria and flew back before anyone even detected them coming.

Answer 7

YES

and we should let them....they will go in with the intent of winning the WAR, they will not try to win the battles while trying to limit casualties and manage the chaos like we do...that is why we are not in a position to deal with the threat.  Had we gone into Iraq and Afghanastan with the intent of winning the WAR, Iran would have been long since taken out

Answer 8

If Israel has a problem with Iran, then they should resolve it.  The US should stay out of it.  We can ill afford to get in a 3rd front war in the ME right now.

Seriously though, I doubt that Israel (unless they were willing to use nukes) could do much damage to the Iranians.  It is a matter of population and size of their respective armies.
