The mighty Israel?

Question

Do you think Israel will ever get to use their nuclear weapons against their muslim neighbours? If so, do you think it would be justified?

fan_crazy_wwe - you sound like a real fanatical raghead to me

Answer 1

No one knows for sure if Israel even has nuclear weapons. And those who know are not talking.

But if they do indeed have such weapons, they would use them only in defense, and only when all other options have failed, only as a last resort.

Iran is a terrorist state that has proclaimed that it wishes to destroy Israel. Nuclear weapons would give them the opportunity to do so, heaven forfend.

Iran is the biggest threat to the West today, and their military capability must be curbed by the West.

In addition, individual terrorists must be eliminated--if necessary by engaging them and killing them.

There can be no rational argument against this two-pronged approach.

Answer 2

Israel has absolutely no intention of doing so. The only reason they have any nuclear weapons is to make sure no one ever initiates nuclear war against them.
Israel is not an agressor. Take a look at a map of the middle east. Israel is a tiny slivery in a sea of hostile Arabic countries. You're going to tell me Israel wants to take it all over?
Israel is the ancestral home of the Jewish People. Israel does not want to conquer the world. In fact it is the Islamics extremists who constantly say that they want to destroy Israel and the Western World and that they want the land that is rightfully theirs to be returned…they think that any land that has Muslims in it is theirs to keep…
Yet the world contsantly sees Israel as this big agressor!! Why? Has the world gone mad? Or has the media been feeding people lies for too long? Did you know that Israel is the only free democracy in the entire middle east? People talk of Israel's human rights violations, yet, no other country in the Middle East even has a concept of human rights! Did you know that in Arabic countries women can be put to death for being raped? Did you know that slavery is still common in many of these countries? What about Sudan's genocide? Isn't that a human rights violation?
Yet when Israel defends itself against terrorism, hostile attacks against innocent civillians, the world blames Israel. Take a step back and look at the big picture here. The real issue is not Israel, but the Islamic world wants you to think that it is, while in the background they work to bring down the world in terrorism.

Answer 3

No. Of course not. Nukes have been produced in the thousands in the last seventy years and they do nothing but sit on their asses. No country would dare to use them, least of all Israel, because it only has two major cities and a population of 7 million or less, and because it's surrounded by enemies. Of all Muslim countries, at least Pakistan has a nuclear capacity. It's far too dangerous. Likewise, if a Muslim country nuked Israel, Israel's Western allies would nuke it back to the Stone Age the very next day.

EDIT: I think Soso's working on an Al Qaeda recruitment banner. :-)

Answer 4

I do not think Israel wants to use nuclear weapons against their Muslim neighbors or anyone else.
They are smart enough to know that it would cause WW111 and that they would be in a bad spot. I think they just want to be left alone to live and worship the way they choose to like all of the rest of us.
I can not see how using a nuclear bomb could be justified. Just because you can do something does not make it right.
I hope the world wakes up soon and see that wars in the name of religions are a travesty against all of mankind and GOD!

Answer 5

Israel does not want to use Nukes against any people. If the were to use it it be because the existence of Israel was being threatened. Then yes it would be justified

Answer 6

As Zionists in Palestine watched World War II from their distant sideshow, what lessons were learned? The soldiers of the Empire of Japan vowed on their emperor's sacred throne to fight to the death and not face the inevitability of an American victory. Many Jews wondered if the Arabs would try to push them into the Mediterranean Sea. After the devastating American nuclear attack on Japan, the soldier leaders of the empire reevaluated their fight to the death position. Did the bomb give the Japanese permission to surrender and live? It obviously played a military role, a political role, and a peacemaking role. How close was the mindset of the Samurai culture to the Islamic culture?

Never Again!

- Reportedly welded on the
first Israeli nuclear bomb

Israel went on full-scale nuclear alert again on the first day of Desert Storm, 18 January 1991. Seven SCUD missiles were fired against the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa by Iraq (only two actually hit Tel Aviv and one hit Haifa). This alert lasted for the duration of the war, 43 days. Over the course of the war, Iraq launched around 40 missiles in 17 separate attacks at Israel. Threats of retaliation by the Shamir government if the Iraqis used chemical warheads were interpreted to mean that Israel intended to launch a nuclear strike if gas attacks occurred. Shortly before the end of the war the Israelis tested a “nuclear capable” missile which prompted the United States into intensifying its SCUD hunting in western Iraq to prevent any Israeli response.[

All of this validated the nuclear arsenal in the minds of the Israelis. In particular the confirmed capability of Arab states without a border with Israel, the so-called “second tier” states, to reach out and touch Israel with ballistic missiles confirmed Israel's need for a robust first strike capability. Israel must be in a position to threaten another Hiroshima to prevent another holocaust.

One list of current reasons for an Israeli nuclear capability is:

-To deter a large conventional attack,
-To deter all levels of unconventional (chemical, biological, nuclear) attacks,
-To preempt enemy nuclear attacks,
-To support conventional preemption against enemy nuclear assets,
-To support conventional preemption against enemy non-nuclear (conventional, chemical, biological) assets,
For nuclear warfighting,
-The “Samson Option” (last resort destruction)

If you were a country who lived among those arab states..you'd have to have a nuclear arsenal. If they are attacked with bio, nuclear, or chemical weapons, you will Israel defend itself and destroy most of the Arab penninsula. The bible has prophecised it in Revelation and Daniel.

Answer 7

I feel that they will someday, maybe very soon.

And since Islam wants to "blow them off the map",

I believe it will be self-defense. The Muslims just want to win the final battle, and have Islam reign supreme throughout the world. They say "we are of the true religion." "There is no god but allah." So that leaves all of the rest of us out. But the poor poor palestinians, who just want more and more Israel land, so they can get the Golan Heights, and really be in position to take over Israel. I would rather see peace

But how can you have peace in a region where people are chanting "we are of the true religion"

Answer 8

Poor Israel is just a rent a killer, like rent a car. Their sponsors are Christians missionaries using Israel as a tool against Muslims.
All nuclear weapons in the world except in China, belong to UK/USA, even made by the cost, sucked by the related, so called nuclear power, countries public blood. All will be used for the favour of UK/USA interests, when required or instructed by great lords of the world.
All such weapons are meant just for China, planting around the boundaries of China. Like in Iran, Pakistan, India and North Korea etc. by UK/USA, on the cost of these poor countries own.
Don't think that Israel will ever used it by its own.
So no more word, "mighty" for Israel.
But mighty UK/USA.
Next WW III will be between Non-China and China.

Answer 9

How can using nuclear weapons ever be justified? It would affect the whole planet and many innocent people would die.

Answer 10

And how could using noclear weapons on anyone ever be justified?
There is no reason for killing innocent people and polluting the world
