Israel unlikely to attack Iran before summer, senior officials say

WHy, that must be why AIPAC has been busy working Congress to write exactly that sort of legislation...a bill currently being developed in Congress that reassures Israel that if they begin an attack but cant finish the job....that Uncle will come in and finish the job..talk about opening the gates of hell....?? Congress is SUPINE...as usual....

Congress ALSO passed bills to move the embassy to Jerusalem TWICE, over the past 20 years. They did it to please AIPAC, knowing it can't be done by US AND international law.

... etc. You remain clueless as to what Israel can be forced to do regarding Iran also.

Israel goes and fights like a man.After Iran said that attack on Syria is an attack on Iran ,Israel took couple of bombers and bombed Syria.And Iran?Iran did nothing because its Hezbollah puppet is busy with unarmed civilians in Syria and Iran alone won't fight someone who doesn't fight with slingshots like rebels. That's the difference between cowards and men,Melissa..

Israel Hasn't got the gut, if it did it would have attacked Iran a few yaers ago. They have been talking about it long enough.

Carpet bomb civilians anonymously from the air? Cannot win fighting man to man, that's a coward.

israel will neva defeat iran alone. if israel go it alone than they are creating a graveyard for themselves because iran is capable of whiping out israel without nukes weapons

Israel is hiding behind the US? :-) Killing women and children? Some brave men Israel have :-(

In '06, she was defeated, badly, by as small Arab militia. Israel is ONLY effective against the unarmed or poorly armed.

But I believe Dershowitz has clearly shown he has no knowledge or appreciation of International law.

How very true your comments are. More than you know. Notice how the citizen's protest movement quieted down after threats made last Summer against Iran?

The two most bellicose states are the US and Israel.

That's what the Brits thought as they joked about the Nazis.

Anxieties of a NEW Holocaust while having the STRONGEST Military (and "Most Moral" ILLEGAL Occupying Force) in the World???

Yes, we know you'd prefer the Shia status quo of Iran unleashing its terror proxy shock troops to slash at and cause Israel to bleed while the pompous Persian Regime stands back afar with white-washed religious turbans and pretends they're innocent of any wrong doing and also while their motherland escapes unscathed from severe Israeli counterstrikes. But Israel is very capable of delivering devastating blows to Iran if the Regime crosses the Jewish State's blood-red lines set down of seriously challenging its existence. What Iran is only dreaming of achieving now and 20 years from now Israel already designed, tested, and amassed over 50 years ago.

Israel stole most of its nuclear facilities or were supplied with know how from others. They stole 50 tonnes of heavy water when Tony Benn was the foreign minister. It is a fact. The submarines were given to them by Germany because of their guilt helping commit more atrocities. Get your facts right.

in Lebanon in '06. The UDF isn't very much of a force, these days.

Great logic.

You really need an education about Israel habibi. You obviously know NOTHING about it. You sound very ignorant and foolish.

In the US, we call that "abject cowardice."And yes, my husband and I have SEEN the white Eurocentric racism. That's why we are EX-zionists, habibti.

No thanks I don't need your kind of "education" on Israel. Palestinian woman and children aren't terrorists go educate yourself on that habibi.

He is starting fires that will backfire on Israel.

Yeah, but since Noah He has been coming close to wiping out His people every so often.

... should be a sign to you that G-d has an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people. If you don't believe me try going to and staying with something like the Timbuktu Times daily to get your world shaking news instead of coming to online Israeli news sources and see how long your curiosity lasts. The Land of Israel, the City of Jerusalem, and the Jewish People have been set as a sign from the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob that He alone is the Most High and what He has yet to reveal through these three will astound the whole world.

You sound like a revivalist evangelical preacher...

I'm guessing God didn't have anything to do with a bunch of atheist Jews taking Palestinain land and naming it Israel.

Palestinians wouldn't still be on their land.

Israel is stealing, working, building as fast as they can to make sure the Palestinians are not on their land any longer. And burning crops, building fences and Jew-only roads.

But they are still alive! and they have a NATION! Muahahahaha!!!

And why would you think that Mark Twain when visiting the Holy Land back in 1869 would be inspired to write that "Palestine sits clothed in sackcloth and ashes ... above her broods the spell of a curse" if the migratory Arabs living there had any vision for the land or the city of Jerusalem? I'd ask you to sail over to the middle east to actually learn something but you would probably be very afraid of doing so since you think that you'd fall off the face of the earth somewhere along the way and perish along with all that "great" knowledge you've acquired.

of a '60s Leon Uris novel, JBD. Then, we have an American settler, on these threads whose name DID come out of a '60s Leon Uris novel (Ben Canaan).

This by a small Arab militia. The Lebanese army didn't even bother to engage. Binny won't attack ANY real army. He picks a fight, then runs to Daddy Sam.

Apartheid leader.

Time to educate yourself habibi. Lol. Fool!

That's why she is beginning to be seen as South Africa Redux.

they draw absurd conclusions from what they read. If Israel's Arabs and other minorities have the same rights as Jews including the right to vote how can the State of Israel be called an apartheid state ?

Not only can Palestinians houses be confiscated, but NATIVE Israeli Palestinians can be stripped of their NATIVE citizenship, if they leave the state to go to college elsewhere. Meanwhile, any Jew off the plane is made a citizen for life. That's just ONE example.
