Oh how I am shocked:

European Poll: Israel Biggest Threat To World Peace

http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=50080

Not every Jew is an Israeli and not every Israeli is an arsehole. Unfortunately you got a handful of people in power (be they Zionists or whatever) who want war because it's profitable).

So do you agree with the poll then?

I just wonder if the US is involved in this at all

This is yesterday's news. For years it has been the case that Israel and her allies will not allow Iran to build nuclear weapons. A pre-emptive strike is one way of ensuring that.

Just sounds like a way of starting a fight to me

They did the same in the late 80's taking out a site that was working on a nuke program. Nothing happened then and I doubt it will this time.

In Iran? Or are you referring to the c'83 attack on the Iraqi reactors? You're right in the sense that nothing much happened to Israel. However, the region has not really been the land of peace and honey since though has it?

I don't think it is going to help matters if they attack. Can't help but think it is a bit of sabre rattling. Israelis must be getting jittery or there is another election on the way.

If they were going to get attacked Bush would have done it long ago, but having spent a lot of time, effort, and money to get the Shias in Iraq onside, I think there are other considerations at work here.

Who knows?

I suppose that if you put yourself in the position of the Israelis, knowing that they will be in line to get nuked if Iran gets the capability and the chance, then they may well feel that that have to do something in their own protection before it happens.

You could be correct, I was referring to the attack when the Israeli forces leased out an Aer Lingus 747, because EI had clearance to fly through their air space whereas Israeli airlines didn't and tucked a couple of fighters under the wings to avoid radar allegedly, who then popped out destroyed what they needed to destroy and got out of their before the locals even knew what had happened. Not sure if it was Iran or Iraq, I was only small but remember the story of the Aer Lingus 747 very well, I dont believe it was common knowledge at the time, my dad was working at the MOD and it came from there.

Edited to say The internet mentions they repainted teir own aircraft in EI colours but I remember the story being the aircraft was leased.

Which the collective governments of the US, UK and Israel are wriiting now.

Dave, your mis-spelling of that tricky three letter word too is, of course, ironic, right??

Leslie

I reckon he meant "misspelling"

So if the americans do get involved and all hell breaks out can they still realistically afford to be playing war games considering they aren't doing too well financially and do we have to get involved in this one? What next more British late teen soldiers in Iran fighting for some Iranians freedom etc, etc? Can't we just tell the americans to **** off for once?
