like u and other center leftists have no clue. Iran should have been taken out YEARS ago. Mistake on kadima from ariel sharon to barak to olmert and livni. Bibi must NOW do something. Iran will not fire 5 missiles a month when their country's crazies are being eaten by worms from the grave. Instead they will have a new green more sane government that deosnt jive with getting the mehdi under all costs and doesn't wish genocide on anyone.

Where ? Who wants you ??? ,...

What is Lapid's opinion of the comment by this 3rd person (unnamed) source. It's one thing to say the sky is falling (and we can decide if you are a reliable, qualified voice) and reporting someone else's thoughts on the situaton and not letting us know who said it.

What this idiot mumbling?

NO WAY this idiot should be in politics

Did it occur to you that perhaps Israel will not tolerate such sporadic attacks and will declare war on Iran? Are you employing any critical thinking skills when you write articles for the media? You must have gotten some kind of training in that area to become a journalist!

Israel. Lives more difficult challenge. Nuclear Iran, Hamas means nuclear. It's very dangerous. Israel must act alone. I do not trust Obama.

If there is people that have stomach to accept you,so there will be fine to accept anyone else

it needs to be done when what youve described is nothing compared to what iran will do suppose you need intelligence

We are dealing with a government in Iran that is bloodthirsty and hates Israel.. To the pilots of the Mighty IAF - Never forget how deadly to your home that this Nation is as you fly over their country ..Good luck to the Mighty Fighter Squadrons of Ramat David . The most competent Pilots on earth .

Your life would be MT without us....

Even if Yair's dumb analysis was correct, that scenario is still better than Mullahs with Nukes. Even if, The world's economy goes to heck in a hand basket, (and it likely will suffer) still better than Mullahs with Nukes. Even if every friend of Israel backs off and refuses to trade with us, still better than Mullahs with Nukes. And ultimately, even if 80 Million Iranians (Innocent or not, old, and young, men and women) have to die to preserve our country, than so be it! It is a horrible, terrible, evil outcome, but less evil to me than Jerusalem being nuked. Sorry, our men, women and children come first! Should everything possible be done to avoid the more drastic scenarios, sure! But let's not for one moment forget what us on the line!

We lost almost a half million men in World War 2. The Russians lost more than 11 million soldiers (eleven million) . We did what had to be done . If necessary Israel must erase the miltary abilites of Iran ..All bases, all equipment , all communications , all major Goverment buildings . The 5 Day war . Just do it .

from iran and its proxies, plus terrorists strikes against israeli targets already. we are just teaching the world, that they can get away with it.

No kiddin', why? For your info I do support myself the old fashioned way I earn it. Others can see and use my product ,...

If someone accepts your kind, we will find a home too.

nuclear tipped missiles and a mid east nuclear arms race, Jake

This can be done by the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships. Once it's done and reasons given that are understood by all or the majority accepts on both sides, peace with the neighbors should be able to be achieved. Cases for both sides have to be made, like an attorney for both sides. This is going to have to be clearly understood and logical. The outlook for the future sure has to be better than what's happening to people in some of these extreme cases like Syria. For around here, we're looking for the Salaam and Shalom. And all the good that comes with the entirety of the overall whole meaning, like committing oneself, heart,mind,body and soul to the Lord. Pray and be prepared to perform with love, understanding, compassion and righteousness for all of our futures. There are people submitting their lives to the Lord. Let's not pass our "children" through the fire. Praise God. People are ready to see this happen, the peace and "not learning of war anymore". The House needs to be gotten in order.

HiranSHIMA and NAgazaKI.....playing soon in an illegal atomic building theatre near you....

Which side are you writing for? Please dont expect my vote

and now he's a game theory expert?!? a war of attrition if likely, but iran is much more vulnerable than israel is.

So Mr. Lapid thinks that it is better to allow them to obtain nuclear weapons and have much more dangerous threats to the existence of the State? that sounds prudent,thank goodness he is not in a position to protect the state.

..Can we get fries with that?

and where is russia in all this ... do you think that if Israel strikes iran russia is just going to 'turn the other cheek'? are you mad? russia has already said she is going to get very involved if Israel strikes iran ... so this is the situation: israel strikes iran ... iran may or may not retaliate very strongly ... russia goes ballistic ... israel threatens to nuke iran if russia doesn't back down ... russia is not willing to sacrifice iran to the elements .... or is she? is russia interested in taking on Israel? or vice versa? or will Israel simply go ballistic and nuke all the surroundings countries because, with russia's threats, she is backed into a corner .... now that might be the real scenario ... momma russia is involved in all of the middle east except for Israel .... and she is especially interested in iran ....

why wouldn't we also pulverize their missile capabilities? Give me a break, Yair.
