Sunni's who are 80% of muslim population, are Israels greatest threat. If anything iran and hezbollah are Israels greatest ally at the moment slaughtering the people who tomorow will fight for jeursalem!

Soviets and other regimes, even North Korean clown - were not suicidal. Iranians are most likely to be suicidal. They can use Nukes to achieve their goal - destroy Big and small "satans"< even if this will lead to elimination of their own people, their own country. Iran is led by a bunch of religious fanatics, who do not care about anything, but their own believes.

of course USA will not attack iran period. They are withdrawing and have had enough of moslem wars. Israelis were always on their own. But yaalon is now defense mininister and he is not frightened as barak was which is why barak offered all kinds of concessions-out of fear like olmert. Israel should assimilate more non jews into the fold and claim the land of reuben on the east bank as its rightful territory. Israel has muscle. In order for peace to be reached, the arabs will have to give it more territory on the east bank as per san remo.Otherwise, israel will be be found to be a forceful neighbour.

attacked Iran's nuclear sites before going into Iraq - Iran is the greater threat. Iraq could wait, Iran cannot. Any decision on Syria will probably be delayed until inevitable. Fortunately Israel can defend itself.

and you expect the world to love you in return? The Ultra-Orthobnox are, yet again, herding you to disaster. Break out of your medieval European superstitions before it is too late.

According to the extreme Left just a few years ago (like Haber), all Israel has to do is turn over strategic territory to Arabs dedicated to Israel's destruction, arm them and magically Israel will not be alone. It was only the extreme Right and "enemies of the peace" who said Israel needs to be able to defend herself

the issue here is the obama administration and its appeasement policies. obama lives in a self constructed bubble of yes men. he is the one who solely determines national security. obama says one thing and then does another thing. he said that no options are off the table, that he does not "bluff," but all indications are that he has no intention to strike iran.

Eitan Haber indicates Americans believe they can survive a nuclear Iran because they survived other great threats like the former Soviet Union; America survived because of she spaciousness, because she is a vast continent surrounded by vast oceans. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote: "Placed in the center of an immense continent, which offers a boundless field for human industry, the Union is almost as much insulated from the world as if its frontiers were girded by the ocean." As America grows weaker by the year, Islam grows stronger. Give Iran a couple or so decades and they might have dozens, perhaps hundreds of nuclear weapons; perhaps several planted by cells in American cities. A people that places its trust in a land's spaciousness or in its isolation is a foolish people indeed.

Thank You!! Thank You!!!

the idea of letting Israel go it alone. America has been carrying racist Israel too,too long

I have read the Bible and I know that God will divinely intervene on Israel's behalf. See Ezekiel 38,39 for proof.

Would Israel go to war for another state?

Really? How active we're they in the first and second Gulf Wars, after the billions in military aid and loan forgiveness, after providing them further billions in advanced arms, these states did almost nothing. It's fair to assume in a future confrontation with Iran, they want the US and Israel to do most of the real fighting.

If Israel of necessity alone attacked Iran the latter's threat to attack all US bases and ships within range should not be overlooked.

BEFORE GOING TO WAR, ALSO THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA HAS TO ASK PERMISSION TO THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION AND TO THE REST OF MANKIND, SINCE 1945.

Do it now! It's them or us.

There is not even one suni country who supports Israel privately as well as publicly. Article is simple wishful thinking, not untypical to die hard right.

be FORCED, to take Israels side...the American people are behind Israel !

a caridiologst to repair your heart. Most Americans have your back, Israel..11 's behavior is cruel. Take care Israel, we Americans love you!

Where were you when the US, Germany, Britain and all other NATO states were in war against Serbia? Oh, soooorry, how could I forget?! - You were supporting Serbia! So don't expect us to fight your wars if you don't fight ours!

Haber once again proves he is the mayor of Chelm! What is Haber trying to tell us. That haber is a manic depressive. That Obama does not love us, Jews. Israel is on its own, like everyone else. So what!

the true meaning of "alone"

ofcourse the US is hesitant to start another war....Iraq and Afganistan haven't exactly been a great succes. Attacking Iran would be a big mistake no matter who does it. Just look at some of it's actions during the Iraq-Iran war....it was quite horrifying. Besides...I always did think it strange that a country that has nukes is willing to go to war to keep it's edge on it's neigbours...

I love the thought of you squirming in your powerlessness to stop the US from supporting Israel. You call Israel racists because they refuse to cease to exist. Who's the real racist there Mr. Antisemite?

reasons? It's finally sinking in... Israel never did anything for any reason except for their own selfish reasons...What has Israel ever done for anyone? TATA ..

Obama Hagel and Kerry ought contemplate a nuclear armed south America Remember the Zimmermen Telegam in WW One the Germans urging Mexicotoattack the USA.

fighting the Israelis was abundantly on display LAST TIME you losers LOST. Nothing has changed in Jordan since then.
