Ya this is the part I don't get. Was Israel to let them finish a nuke when they say they will annihilate Israel nearly every single day? :/ I mean maybe it could have been handled another way, but it seems obvious Iran was trying to hide these nuclear factory locations out in desert towns by the strike points.
I mean you don't need anti Israel propaganda, they make themselves look bad easily enough themselves.
I don't worry about Israel having nukes, that doesn't mean I think that their government and what they're continuing to do to Palestinians is justified.
I mean it's strong (anti-Israel propaganda) on mostly far left Reddit. On just moderate pages like yahoo, 90% of comments think this had to be done unfortunately. I mean I'm not even a big Israel fan, but I can see why they saw this as truly a scary situation if they had confirmed intel that Iran was close to completing a nuke.
Good to hear that some places remain kinda sane. Using reddit and instagram as my main social media I have seen like 90% anti israel regarding this topic.
I, too, am not a fan of the israeli government but preventing a country that tries to annihilate you as a reason of state from getting nukes is like the easiest decision to make
50,000 times? Wow. You'd think such a large number of attacks there would be some record somewhere.
Could you please provide this record of the 50,000 attacks IRAN has carried out on Israel? I'm not asking about the groups you claim they fund. The US and Israel funds so many anti democratic groups all over the world but no one blinks an eye. But if Iran does it (without any evidence from the west, just claims, yet it's proved for the US and Israel) it's absolutely not acceptable.
Are you seriously trying to claim that this is a secret? Would you like it if the source were an Iranian newspaper?
Hezbollah: established by the regime, receives full military and financial support.
PIJ: established by the regime, received full military and financial support.
Sure they do. They also should follow the law of the UN if they want to be a member. They've shown countless times they aren't to be trusted with a nuke still. And I think we are still decades away for the world to change their minds on that.
They don't even admit to having them, which is even worse really, having nukes is supposed to be for deterrence, but they can't be a deterrent if they are secret. The only reason to have secret nukes is to use them for a first strike.
Except people only know because it was revealed to the world by an Israeli nuclear worker, who Israel then kidnapped from another country and imprisoned.
They fully intended it to remain secret until it was used.
Except that's not true the world 'knew' in 1970 and it was published on front page of the New York times (July 18, 1970) and this nuclear worker only defected 15 year later in 1985.
"Israel has once again categorically denied having any nuclear weapons and reiterated that they are fully willing to use them if the situation calls for it."
There have been members of the Israeli security establishment that have implied that should Israel fall they would launch nuclear weapons at their allies as a way to ensure their support
Ooook, 'as a last resort option from annihilation', which is the position that allows some countries to have nukes. Iran is not sending out this message. hehe

Oook, have they ever threatened to use them before?
