September 10, 201511 yr Considering it terms of a contingency? Obviously. Should they do it? No. It makes no sense unless there is more intelligence than the public is aware of.
September 10, 201511 yr Man, I don't know. They're surrounded on three sides by countries that aren't too friendly toward them. I can understand why it might be considered, but would the US back them in a move like this? Not real sure this administration would be quick to come to their aid if things got bad.
September 10, 201511 yr Here's a chart of friends, enemies, and "it's complicated" countries of Middle-East: The Middle East Friendship Chart
September 10, 201511 yr As long as a democrat is in the WH then the answer is no . BHO would leave them alone to die.
September 10, 201511 yr It's certainly going to be interesting over there the next few years. I bet they do, just don't know when.
September 10, 201511 yr As long as a democrat is in the WH then the answer is no . BHO would leave them alone to die. Wrong again. You really think BHO wants Israel to die?
September 10, 201511 yr Why? A preemptive strike against what? Iran's leader came out and said Israel would not be around in 25 years.
September 10, 201511 yr Iran's leader came out and said Israel would not be around in 25 years. Propaganda from a government that may not be around in 25 years. How ironic.
September 10, 201511 yr Preemptive strikes are almost never justifiable under the Geneva Convention. It relies on the premise of an imminent threat, and the definition of when a threat is truly imminent is constantly up for debate. I find it hard to believe that what Khomeini said today can be declared anything other than radical rhetoric, much less an imminent threat. From an international governance (oxy-moron right there) i highly doubt Israel would have legal standing for a preemptive strike against Iran based on comments today from Khomeini.
September 10, 201511 yr Iran's leader came out and said Israel would not be around in 25 years. He probably said the same thing 25 years ago.
September 10, 201511 yr Yes, absolutely! As an American taxpayer, I'd be more than happy for Isreal to defend THEMSELVES!
September 10, 201511 yr Wrong again. You really think BHO wants Israel to die? Uh he is about as unfriendly or caring about Israel as any President ever
