If Israel was under serious attack would they use their atom bombs?

Question

If you think they would then the Iranians should have a nuclear bomb too. Remember, MAD (mutually assured destruction) kept the peace between the USSR and the USA for more than 50 years.

Answer 1

Israel will surely use their nuclear weapons if they were seriously threatened. They nearly did during operation desert storm back in the 90's against Saddam Husseins SCUD missile attacks.

Answer 2

The point being that IF Israel was under serious attack. Israel is not typically the one who attacks but is attacked. Iran has made it clear that their entire focus in this life is to destroy Israel.... and from the suicide bombs constantly carried out in Iraq and other countries, it might be safe to assume Iran does not and would not care about the consequences of starting a nuclear war.

You point about the USA and Russia also must include the fact that those two countries did care about the result of starting such a war. To apply it to Iran is not possible since Iran is a little nuts. LOL

Answer 3

Israel has its weapons, delivery systems, and determination
to use same if the Nation is at risk of being destroyed. Use
of conventional and unconventional forces has not triggered
use of atom bombs but Americans frequently express option
of nuclear bombs with far less cause than the Jewish State.
That nuclear flavor would be harder to sell if the world media
got a taste. Odds favor several good licks in next fifty years.

Answer 4

Iran made the threat, a promise, that they would destroy Israel and all the Jews.

Do you really believe that Israel has not taken that seriously?

Israel has the the best Military and investigative (spies) forces in the World. They will never allow another Holocaust.

I only know a little that was divulged from my friends in Israel. They will not allow Iran to carry out their promise.

Assassinations are their third order of business. And the rest does not include nuclear!

Britain and the rest of the UN will tame Iran. That's a given! Israel is waitng for their action.

Answer 5

Israel was founded by people who fled a failed revolution in Russia in 1908, and was largely populated by survivors of the Nazi Holocaust in Europe. For most of Jewish history, Jews have been combative. belligerent, tenacious fighters, and several times in their history have defeated larger forces of powerful empires. In 73 AD, one group of such fighters committed suicide rather than be captured and enslaved by the Roman Army, ten times their size, which they had held off for three years. Every Israeli child knows and believes in that story.

It is inconceivable that the Jewish State would refrain from using every weapon at its disposal if faced by imminent destruction. There is a reason Hitler called nuclear physics, "Jewish Physics" - about 90% of all such physicists world wide in those years were Jews, or of Jewish descent, or married to Jews. It is easier to name the half-dozen major figures who were not, than the hundreds in England and the United States who were. Of course Israel knows all about atomic bombs. Of course Israel has atomic bombs. Of course Israel will use them rather than be wiped from the map.

The idea that Israel, or any Jews, want to rule any part of the world beyond the biblical empire of David and Solomon is ridiculous. The idea that Iran needs a bomb to defend itself against Israel is also ridiculous, For most of Persian history, ancient and modern, Jews were an integral part of Persian imperial life and society. The population of Iran is almost ten times the whole world population of Jews, Israel and elsewhere. Who is actually threatening whom? If the mullahs who rule Iran did a better job of studying the Koran, which prohibits war between Muslims and Jews, this particular question would not even have come up.

Answer 6

Israel would use the bomb and in fact nearly did in 1967.

MAD does not apply to Iran and Israel. The number one criteria to owning nukes is a stable and responsible government. Iran is far too radical to meet that measure. Plus, the chances of Israel selling or giving a nuke to a terrorist group to use against the USA is zero. The Iranians - far too high a probability. So, you may need to rethink your flawed theory on Iran and Israel concerning nukes.

Answer 7

If your neighbor on the block wants a gun as a means to protect his family from intruders, that's fine. But if another guy [a bully on the block] down the street swears he will kill your neighbor (and his whole family) next door to you, do you allow him to have a gun? NO WAY!

The nuclear countries already have demonstrated that they are responsible and reserve thier nuclear weapons as a means of defense'deterrent only. Had Israel intended to use it's nukes on any other country (to include IRAN), don't you think they would have used them by now ??????

Obviously IRAN doesn't realize this - they are too blinded by thier hatred.

You don't allow the neighborhood bully (IRAN) to have weapons they intend on using to kill/massacre others! IRAN has OPENLY indicated it's desire to ANNIHILATE Israel.

The International Community would be irresponsible to allow Iran to have nuclear weaponry.

Answer 8

I truly believe that when Israel comes under serious attack that no weapons will be fired by the Israelis. However I also believe as the favored peoples of God that their attackers will suffer great losses.
Israel does not confess to having nuclear capabilities.

Answer 9

Well if you were under serious attack you would immediatly jump to your last resort would'nt you? Well... so far they havent done that yet, but I'm betting soon they will start to use heavy bombs then nuclear/atom bombs because they have them and I'm pretty sure they know how to use them.

Answer 10

Israel cannot use Nuclear Bomb because it may wipe out them also.They may use some sort nuclear war heads.USA and USSR civilised killers,Iran ,Iraq and Israel fundamentalists and reckless.
