first israel should learn how to deal with a single ship like mavi marmara... then strike iran... hizbullah also is enough for israelis....

They cannot defend themselves and they also cannot retaliate...Just GO FOR IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Israel lacks the military capability to conduct a successful strike. Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia will not permit Israel to use it's airspace for a strike since the Arab spring is in full swing. The United States is the only ones capable to pull off a successful strike, but Obama already made the decision not to attack Iran.

I'm assuming it will be tactical nuclear devices. Israels aim is to shut down Iran's design on nuclear weapons permanently. Let this be a lesson to the world. Israel will not allow the destruction of the third temple. Ever.

Saudi Arabia could do it with the aid of the USA simply because the Saudis don't like what the Iranians are up to. Free your mind and think of about the whole picture not just a little square of it.

The Israeli Defense Forces backed up by G-d will ALWAYS be there to defend us for We are G-d's Chosen People. Kol HaKavod L'Tzahal!

Language where you are trying to convey a message?I did not understand it at all. However, one thing is certain............it bugged you so much that you did not know what you were trying to write,yah?

and I'm sure that soon enough you'll be able to ask Imad Morniya what's it like to be a proud member of hizballa

Try learning some then you wont make a fool of yourself pretending you do not know what your brothers get up to abusing the freedoms of the West.

what man is there of you if his son asks for bread give you a stone? or if he asks for a fish will give you a snake? therefore if ye being evil know give good gifts to your children how much more your father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? so that all the things you want that men do with you so also do ye with them because this is the law and the prophets

Which would have been less trouble and no-one on our side hurt.

Countries like the Saudis and Emirates have and will keep their air-space open.In fact,truely speaking,they may even offer snacks on the way to and from for those pilots who0 may feel like landing on their soil.Wow!! What an arrangement indeed!! Iran's air defences are also bugged by STUXNET so indeed,once again,no need to worry at all.All ground equipment and radar system wil be as good as it being not there.So why worry.No need to protect your aircrafts.............just fly in,do your job,have 'kahawa' drink on the Emirates airstrip and off you go. Astounding Sarah............what a simple solution to this complex mission.

That in Israel´s history and jewish history many things that seemed impossible turned out to be possible, even when we jews did not believe it. Remember the feeling there was in Israel before june 67? remember the wolrd saying we had no chnace against 100 million arabas around us? remember 48? remember how we came out in 1973? well there is a reason that do not apply to any other nation, but apply to us. Have faith! Israel will get there, and will end up with the Amalek of our days, the grea great great grandson of Haman.

See post 28 or read post 32 - cakewalk. Nobody pays attention to Kissinger since Pinochet.

I didn't bother to read the article after I saw the words New York Times article. Israel has the 4th biggest fighting force in the world and has over 400 strike aircraft. More than enough to attack Iran and protect Israel at the same time. Why would ynet quote the NYT?

and the name of Israel's eternal capital city is Jerusalem. please do correct your post as there is no place in the world named "Jesusalen"

our little airforce is backed up by G-d The rest well you know Shomer, Shomer Israel

Kissinger is just an examplehe wielded immense power at the time,he is nobody now but some of the Democrats a cureent advisory groups are radical anti Israel leftists and Islamists.There are quite a few in President Obamas past as well.

what else is new? of course Israel would need hundreds of planes - and we have them! - or else (and why they don't consider this) tens of ballistic missles from Israel or cruise missles from submarines, which is very possible. nobody said it will be easy, but it IS possible.

there were those who said that it would be IMPOSSIBLE for a Jewish state to ever exist, that it would be IMPOSSIBLE for yhe IDF to defend its borders in June of 1967.....BUT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD'S CHILDREN...THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL!!! AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!

Please we want war, as soon as possible. Please.

Americans usually get israelis wrong, sometimes overestimating idf like in 2006 against hezbollah or underestimating in the case of osiraq and entebbe. Israel will do what it has to do if necessary. The reason why obama has not visited israel is because he has no affinity to the country or its people period. He shares many values with jews but in the end, he was raised by a moslem stepfather and in indonesia, a m,oslem country-and his best friends are arabs-end of story. Yaalon who I like and dagan who leaning to kadima tells me is somewhat nuts and disconnected, both of you should understand that the US will not stop iran's current government period. So don't play bloody political games. If israel is to attack , it needs your posiitive contributions. Don't play games. Bring gallant back and soon. I call on Rafael to triple shift 7 new iron dome batteries to israel in the next 3 months and have crews ready.

ISRAEL HAS FREINDS EVEN ARAB COUNTRIES WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BASH AT IRAN.

HASHEM OUR PROTECTOR/ AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN

this analysis is american thinking which is faulty at best. if Israel listened to america they would give iran the day and time they were coming so they would be prepared. just because america doesn't have the guts to stand up to iran and islam doesn't mean Israel has to!!!

Russia and China can do it and are more ruthless and can occupy all of iran allowing the usa and europe to occupy all africa and fix up the congo and south africa . Their military industrial complexes will provide jobs for centuries . Noncombatant civilians will be not harmed , It worked in nazi germany amd the empire of japan .

Let me see. In 1943, there was a starving remnant of Jews inside the Warsaw Ghetto with no guns or ammunition between them. The Nazis in their Panzer tanks were rolling in to fire on them and liquidate the ghetto. The Nazis had already invaded and conquered country after country, and their control darkened the European map. The Jews had nothing but will and determination, and a refusal to bow without a fight. So tell me, who torched Nazi tanks and forced the Nazis to gather up their dead and retreat? Who held off the most powerful army in Europe longer than Poland had? Who stood strong and has remained an inspiration for all people throughout history to come? .... The Jews. That lowly band of ragamuffin, emaciated, and yet brilliant and courageous Jews. .... Never underestimate the Jewish people. The Nazis are gone. The Jews survive.

for their psychotic behavior if they attack Iran. The average Israeli will get nothing for such an attack.

Dear chamberlain, As a reserve combat officer I can say that though we do not thirst for war we must not shirk our responsibilities due to fear. It is better to die free than to live as slaves. Had we listened to your Ilk, 67 would have ended very differently. When we listen to your Ilk we get 1973. When we answer the call it is with the full understanding that we may not return. If that sacrifice ensures the survival of our people for even two more years it is a cost well paid.
