I believe this topic was already posted....and anyway I don't know how many times I've read a thread claiming Israel is going to attack Iran at such a point in the future.
To be honest, I'm getting bored and not even taking the threads seriously anymore since I joined ATS. So many prophecies, theories, breaking news and OMG's only for me to go WTF?
That's exactly how COINTELPRO wants you to react. You're bombarded with a high frequency of false alarms so when a legitimate event occurs you either won't react accordingly or you'll miss it because you buried your head in the sand to remedy your confusion.
It's your responsibility to separate the wheat from the chaff. Complaining to an on online community for not assuming this responsibility for you doesn't make much sense, does it?

I don't know if there is any validity to this or not but I am personally sick and tired of war. People walk around living their daily lives in America, completely unaware or uncaring that across the globe people are running from bombs or holding their dead children. I know wars will always happen. Men with unchecked egos can't get their fill and people lack the courage to rise up against these arrogant men. Humanity openly accepts the fate we're quickly approaching.
As for Israel striking the match that brings on WW3 - it sounds about right. I'm sick of Israel counting on the U.S. to bail them out of every mess they get in. Why are we supporting that mooch of a nation in the first place? Aside from religious reasons we have no business giving money to ANY nation. Israel can defend itself. If it writes a check it's ass can't cash, it should be their own fault. America should NOT get involved. Let them learn all about cause and effect. I say forget em!
Finish the wars you started first, then you can have dessert
?? Some people either lack any comprehension skills, or they are so ignorant , that they can't separate a conversation about Israel, from one about the US.
One attack from the US
here here well done

I base this on a few facts. Fact 1: Israel can't live with a nuclear Iran - period. Fact 2: Israel can't do this alone, but the US population won't support another war without good reason. Fact 3: That's how Israel operates.
how can't Israel live with nuclear Iran, yet all other countries in middle east has to live with a nuclear Israel?
Israel existence will be a footnote in history books a few centuries from now, no smallish country surrounded by enemies lasted long, no matter the military power.
You answered your own question
Israel is surrounded by enemies - but they have nukes to keep them at bay. That's what creates the balance. As soon as one of their enemies develops nukes then the scales tip - especially as Iran will no doubt share the technology with other enemies. So Israel will never let that happen - or, as you say, they won't be there in the future.....in their mind, anyway.
Imagine living on hostile land, surrounded by enemies with spears and arrows. But you have a machine gun. You're safe until one of them gets their own gun.....then you're finished. Simple analogy, but essentially sums it up.

This is how it will go down...
Israel bombs Iran nuke sites.
US condemns Israel attack.
Israel sinks a US ship (hundreds dead) in the Gulf and Iran gets the blame.
US screams "WTF Iran! We didn't attack you - we tried to stop Israel!"
US population screams for blood - US looks like the victim, just like 9/11.
US attacks Iran and gets a fair amount of support and even sympathy.
Israel sits back and lets the US finish the job.

One way or another, Israel will drag the US into this - they're experts at manipulation.
1). True statement
2). Israel CAN do it alone....
3). ALL the middle eastern countries operate like this, not just Israel. (it's really not against our way of operating either...)
Isreal doesn't want peace and for your quote your spot on

No truer words have been typed on these forums. I can't believe that there are actually Red Blooded Americans out there that would take up Israel's cause as their own. Wake up you brainwashed sheep! They are the problem!
