No, I'm talking about Israel forcing a stike on Iran if they dont stop building nuclear facilities that Iran wants to use for neclear power.
No, because not all of the United Nations support such actions albeit, most do.
Same as you. I just happen to see things with both perspectives and sift through the BS.
LMAO!
Again, you used biased Western MSM as your source where it doesnt show it come directly from his mouth. I'll link a few for ya where what he says is interpreted live. The words in your link are written in the biased hands of a western reporter/journalist and is very misinterpreted.
Says he did not say the holocaust didnt happen. He has asked questions about it and these western reporters twist things around. He wants to research the holocaust in more detail.

That's just your opinion, and as such has no basis in fact.
Iran on the other hand continues to publically state that it will destroy Israel.
You really don't seem to get it do you, do you think that we all just woke up one day loving Israelis?
Personally I have no feelings for Israel one way or the other, but I do recognize the stink of a cancer like Iran when I smell it, and that makes the placement of allegiances pretty simple.
Others it seems like regimes who hang 16 year old girls for being raped, stone men to death for having gay sex, and issue random threats about destroying other countries while simultaneously developing nuclear weapons.
Seriously, what's up with you people?

And while that is going on Hammas will be having an orgasm.
I wonder what you'll all be saying if iran lives up to all of its rhetoric and attacks Israel first - as the other muslim countries in the area have often done?
Why do I think you'll conveniently choose to ignore that Israeli women and children are now dead and be having your own "orgasms" because you think Israel had it coming?
Hypocrisy alert ...

Iran needs to realize that the powerful nations on this earth have said, "NO". They are not listening. They are defiant. Nothing changes who is powerful on this planet today. Iran must listen or they will get slapped around.
Neither the US or Israel has had their testicles removed. They have big kahunas and will bark and growl and if you don't heed those warnings then you will be bitten.
Iran is making things worse instead of better. Why doesn't Iran just say OK? After they get chomped half to death they will say OK like a little wimp. Iran is on the wrong track and now seem to be ripping off their shirt and holding up their fists like dummies.
My money is on Iran losing by knockout in the first round.

Last I checked, Iran has not invaded another country since before the first Bible was written.
And if they do not plan to attack, why all the rhetoric saying they will wipe countries off the face of the earth.
Sit on that for a moment.

a) how often was Israel invaded by muslims in the past 30 years? You specifically used the word "often", so I need to ask.
Your choice of 30 years is completely arbitrary and conveniently skips the time period just before that (1948 through 1973) when the muslim nations DID often attack Israel.

Nobody likes any of that, but bombing the hell out of the country you are trying to "save" from this savagery seems like a stupid idea.
Could you provide details of this bombing, I seem to have missed that in the news.
How many Iranians were killed?

Show a link to back what you just stated. You just stated rhetoric bs published on the MS media. Show me one link where those very words were used by Irans PM.
You do know that he is a Holocaust denier, right? No one has any ambiguity about his statements on that one, do you?

I'm obviously reffering to the latter.
Of course you are, because it has nothing to do with this thread, just as I suspected.
The truth of the matter is; Iran is being threatened every day by both Israel and the US.
If by "threatened" you mean "told to stop their nuclear program", then yes.

Israel size
8,000 sq miles (Israel could fit into Florida 8 times) but is expanding all the time
263 miles long – North to South
Width: between 9 and 71 miles wide (East to West)
Israel Area - comparative: slightly smaller than New Jersey
BUT this is exactly the same rhetoric thats been repeated for the last 5 or more years - in 2001 iran wasn`t even mentioned and were working with the USA in afghanistan to hunt the taliban
www.antiwar.com...
in 2009 they are suddenly the enemy.
its all a game

We (the non-paranoid, non-america-hating west) just want to make sure we are not surprised by a nuclear attack.
In the past we have been gullible, believing that various tyrants want peace when they say they want peace. We are distrustful of Irans intentions.
We are Bush supporters, Obama supporters, Americans, Europeans, Israelis and we just want to make sure we`re safe. And if provocation and disinformation from Iran continues, diplomacy will have to be replaced by destroying the nuclear facilities.
Sorry, cant be helped.

I wonder how the world would react if we said "If there is one more Arab muslim attack on the United States we will destroy the heart of Iran."
Anyone with any decency should utterly condemn statements of this kind, it shouldn't matter what your politics are.

It wouldn't surprise me if Israel let off a nuke and blamed it on Iran. It wouldn't surprise me if we fall for it, as we usually do, and come to their aid.

The Samson Option is a term used to describe Israel’s alleged deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence, and possibly against other targets as well.[1] Israel refuses to admit it has nuclear weapons or to describe how it would use them, an official policy of nuclear ambiguity, also known as "nuclear opacity." This has made it difficult for anyone outside the Israeli government to definitively describe its true nuclear policy, while still allowing Israel to influence the perceptions, strategies and actions of other governments.[2]
