Did Gerstenfeld ever consider in his "brillant" analysis that there is the Al-Aqsa-Mosque in Jerusalem? Why would Muslim Iran nuclearly contaminate such a holy Muslim place? I suppose, Gerstenfeld is just too old to think properly...

Let the world know about Operation Samson; if Israel is nuked and destroyed, Israel has the capacity to release biological plagues that will wipe out all Arab and Muslim life on this planet, far beyond smallpox. Think of how many former Soviet biological weapon experts emigrated to Israel in the 1990s and 2000s. Their knowledge did not go to waste, instead if serves to protect and ensure Israel's survival, or failing that, the destruction of all that have sought Israel's destruction over the decades.

“If Israel goes down, we all go down.” And whatever may be left will be rendered uninhabitable for the next one hundred thousand years. It is time for the world to sit up and recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran for what it is -- the greatest threat to civilization that has ever existed -- and to take the necessary steps to defuse that threat. I've given up on Europe, which is pretty much a lost cause; just a bunch of chattering chipmunks pretending that they just LOVE their aggressive Moslem and Arab minorities. Whatever. But Oceania and North America Should really pay attention. This isn't a game. Iran must be stopped. One or another way, it will be stopped, but the world may pay a VERY dear price. Hope you're up for the task -- if Israel goes down, we're not going alone.

could actually be detonated in Tel Aviv or Caesarea with the help of leftist Vanunu mentality idiots. There are enough traitors and self hating Jews to help foreign enemies of Israel accomplish their mission.

disposition to Jew-hate. Antisemitism seems to be "guilty pleasure, that dares not speak it's name". It is pointless to debate this at such lenghts, generation after generation. It has been proven in every shade and form. Now is time to fight!

other WMDs? There are plenty of chemical weapons in chaotic countries like Syria or Libya. It is not so unlikely that fanatics get into possession of some of these. Chemical weapons are much easier to handle than nukes and the inhibition threshold is lower. Iran is a state and Iran wants to remain a state. So it's very unlikely that they use nukes against Israel, because they know this would be their own end. But some fanatic organisation with chemical weapons? They wouldn't care. Israel wouldn't even know where to retaliate.

...the article lists several scenarios that could lead to Israel being attacked by a nuclear weapon. Why not list the most obvioius? The occupation is what keeps Arab hate alive. It is the occupation that will brings out the worse of the terrorism directed against Israel. This wasn't always the case, obviously. Once it was merely Israel's existence. However today is not what Israel IS, it's because of what Israel DOES. Yes, yes, I know this will be confusing to the average racist, right-wing talkbacker on ynet. Tough.

Kol haKavod, Dr. Gerstenfeld, At last here is an incisive, Realistic warning about the Lunatic Ayatollahs true intentions once they acquire nuclear bombs. And if allTHIS were not enough, the Israeli government(s) are still playing politics, just like children, who are seemingly unaware that the house has been on fire, for a while now.

There's nothing confusing about the fact that you're a full-blown POS.

Don't worry....they'll find somewhere.

- if it is in posession of Nuces, and their own aims and intentions are going down, such a personality will certainly se to it that Israel goes down also, this is the destruction jealousy is about in the end, as the story of Kain and Abel. Nr 1. It is not an Shia-Islamic holy Place. Nr 2. That is not an option. Nr 3.Theoretically - Yes !!!. Nr 9. You Err - Israel could not Be without Doing - and - Israel could not Do without Beeing - it is interrelated and nessessary because of the Hostilitys against Her. Nr.10. In a way - Yes. Arn, Sweden.

and take action if it feels like it's security is threatened. It should not rely on the USA or other countries, however it should let the diplomatic track play out because a hasty attack on Iran will not garner it any sympathy, and in fact could do more harm then good. If the talks fail, it could say as I expect them to, Israel can take the moral high ground and state the obvious, which is the ayatollah's are stalling.

Symphaty is not the Question here - Survaival is. Moral High ground makes the Worldspirit of the Evil One israels Judge. Arn.Sweden.

Don’t worry about the plausibility of Mr Gerstenfeld’s analysis. You obviously are not up to any kind evaluation yourself. The muslim claim to Jerusalem is just BS Taqiyya. The mosque there is not that important to Islam, except for the fact its conveniently built where the Jews consider their holiest place and was constructed over the top of the Second Temple. Iran’s nut jobs will do whatever they can to destroy Israel. That’s the main game. Whatever it takes. Whatever the means. Those muslims killed and the destruction of the mosque will actually be lionised as the "ultimate martyrs”.

Jews & bring on the secret Imam

but the above won't change thing about the end

You point your behinds to it when you pray. Its not even mentioned in the Koran nor is Jerusalem. Its a big, fat lie that muslims have ANY holy sites in Historic Israel. Your people just can't stand the fact that Israel has been re-established in your midst and that no matter what you've done to commit genocide against the Jews, you failed and were defeated easily. You're just frustrated that the 1,3 billion muslims can't even stand up to the handful of Jews in Israel without being humiliated. Like the article said: Israel is slightly more than 1% of irans total land mass....yet Israel could turn it into a glass parking lot in a matter of minutes. Its a tough thing to swallow but if you and your theology weren't so arrogant and hateful, you'd put it to rest and move on. But its not like you have a choice: your just one of your sheeple. Good luck.

Dude you're either naive or stupid. Or both.

Did you ever consider in your "strong" denial of Iran nuking Israel, that it WILL include bombing the Al-Aqsa-Mosque in Jerusalem. You know why? Because the El-Aqsa-Mosque in Jerusalem is not mentioned in your Koran once, you pray to Mekka with your back(side) to it, so it's 'holiness will not be the 'brakingpoint, neither will the Muslims, who live in Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria, Haifa/Akko & other places, because your brothers from Iran care as much about them, as they do about dead mice. After the El-Aqsa-Mosque will be gone, including the Muslims in the aerea, including Jordan, they will spinn the story I just told you to the rest of the ignorant Muslims of the world. Maybe it will help you to understand that the 'only friends you have on this planet ARE the Jews.

in the 3th june of 67i asked my mother -- do you think it would be like 48 war ?? my mother said - yes --the arab rulers are not honest and weak the israil are strong but the palastinians as people learned not to leave their homes even if they will be dead inside it ... ... now what the jews as people had learned from the ist holocaust ???

is the self hating jew, without the self hating jew there would not of been a WWII israel must locate these people and destroy them, they are worse than a nuke. we already forgot how wwII truly came about. we only have ourselves, we wait for someone else to help and we will end up in bad shape. We need to stand up strong IGNORE everyone and do whatever it takes to make sure we survive.

the Second Holocaust already did take place in Bosnia. shame on hypocrisy and Tyranny.

One of the most important questions is why the 6 million went like sheep. Not counting women, children and elderly, there were at 500,000 who could have put up a fight. They would have lost, but at least have hurt the Nazis. A main reason was the Jewish councils (Judenrat), leaders who collaborated with the Nazis (out of real concern or for money) who made sure that no Jewish hotheads "provoked" the Nazis by defending themselves. Is a 2nd Holocaust possible? Looking at the Eisner event, the answer is clearly yes. Note to Netanyahu, Barak and Gantz. The Jewish councils ended up just like the hotheads.

Iranians don't speak German

Read his many WRITINGS about the Coming of the Mahdi Ahmadinejad believes as the Mahdis true prophet- his emergence will only occur once all Infidels and Non Believers are destroyed WHEREVER THEY ARE and only Shia Islam prevails And can you really trust a lunatic who in front of the worlds cameras fawns and swoons over a ....NUCLEAR ROD! and then showers it with blessings? Or someone who finds it so amazingly amusing in front of the worlds cameras to play his DO WE HAVE A BOMB GUESSING GAME with his Co Comedian Chavez? You could not make this up! Can you trust THIS lunatic to look after Al Aksa? Give me a break. I would not even trust him with a banana

Idiologies are like bacteria - once humanity has seen the amount of damage one can do, it's fairly thoroughly innoculated against it. Nazism, communism, feudalism and monarchy and antisemitism (to name but a few) will never again be serious threats in the first world, I suspect. But other, new, totalitarian (or non-totalitarian but otherwise evil) ideologies may well arise in the future, and could potentially lead to massacres on a scale comparable to the holocaust.
