Time for Israel to fire a warning shot?

Question

Despite numerous warnings, Syria & Iran continue to support international terrorism. Without their help, hezbollah would crumble.

Is the time right for Israel to show that she means business with a small scale nuclear strike on Iran and Syria?

OK, by small scale, I'm talking Hiroshima, maybe a bit extreme, but it worked on Japan - another adversary that believes martyrdom is good - but only on a small scale & if it doesn't involve them personally....

To answerer who mentions lies about iraq? which lies are these? Chemical weapons are WMD's. Many have been found - and at least one fired at allied forcess. It doesn't make the front page because the media are about as honest as politicians when it comes to admitting that they got it wrong.

Fair comment trout, but do you really think the russians or chinese would get drawn into a nuclear war unless a shot was fired onto their territory? I don't.

There'd be a lot of angry noises, maybe a few sanctions, but no direct retaliation. That would be a small price to pay for the people of Israel to be able to live without the constant fear of attack that they currently endure.

I musta missed this one first time round... David S: Since when did self defence fall under the category of "state terrorism"???

Answer 1

yeah, you're probably right. Isreals problem is that they let the terrorists call cease fires just to build up weapons, isreal needs to make a strike themselves and do a good thing for the world

Answer 2

Despite numerous outrages and atrocities, the United States continued to support Israel's state terrorism in the Middle East. Without America's help, Israel would have to make peace with its neighbors, or risk a long war that it might actually lose.

Is it the right time to show Israel that Americans do not approve of their state terrorist strategy by launching a small scale nuclear strike on Haifa or Tel Aviv?

Two can play the old "loaded question" game.

Answer 3

And when Iran shoots off it's own "warning shot" and when Russia shoots off it's or the Chinese or or or ?????

Do you realise how small and close these countries are?

Do you realise that even a small (Nuke)missle was fired it would have an impact world wide. Yes you in your safe little world or little whatever 1,000's of miles away would get a change in weather ? Do you realise that the globe is connected ????

Answer 4

Yeah murdering thousands more civilians is a good idea...

There is no such thing as a 'small scale' nuclear strike.

The very fact that you even asked this question shows the kind of disregard you have for the Syrian and Iranian people.

Answer 5

I would hardly describe a nuclear weapon as a 'warning shot'. I think that at this point, it might be counter productive, turning the entire world against them. Right now, they should focus on destroying Hezbolah and they should try to capture the missles that Hezbolah is bragging about to prove that they're Iranian.

It's a tough situation to be in, ain't it?

Answer 6

I don't believe you

the people saying those things about Syria and Iran especially are the same people who repeatedly lied to us about Iraq

I don't believe them about anything anymore

If there is one thing I have learned, its that whatever they say, and especially when it seems like they are trying to convince us of something, they are probably lying

Answer 7

Have you not looked at a map - Israel is very close to these places, their water supplies runs through the area. Why not shoot themselves in the foot!

Answer 8

Having feelings for others is a human value. You could be in that situation tomorrow, would you ever think that you could face this kind of question?

Answer 9

They supposedly just hit a Hezballah bunker, full of leaders. 23 tons of bombs! but no nukes.

Answer 10

Why don't we just nuke the entire middle east, 'cause I hate all these political questions on Y!A.
