Has anyone thought about the threat of Israel?

Are you talking about a threat to the US?  Doubt they are, since we are one of the few true allies that they have.

If it happens, then I'm sure they're going to bomb Israel first. For them all the troubles Muslim face nowadays started from the time Israel became a nation among the countries of Islamic faith. Afterwards, bomb all those that they think have an American "interests".

Israel is increasingly turning into a burden on itself, on its guardians, as well as on its countless victims.\nScores of innocent people have lost their lives. Villages have been levelled, and bridges, hospitals, roads, airports, fuel storage facilities and even milk factories have been destroyed. \nYears of regeneration effort are reduced to rubble. Pressure from the Americans and their British and German allies is such that no mention is made of a ceasefire in the statement issued. Israel is given leave to impose its agenda on Lebanon at gunpoint. After all, Ehud Olmert had said it: there can be no talk of a ceasefire, since "Israel needs more time". \n\nThis unconditional support for Israel as it invades, occupies, demolishes, maims and massacres puts the entire Western moral and political order to the test. \nWhile evangelising about democracy and reform, the US and increasingly Europe continue to give Israel open leave punish the Palestinian people collectively for their electoral choice, through air raids, ground incursions, siege and starvation. \n\nIn its latest military operation in the Gaza Strip, which has left more than 200 civilians dead, many of whom are children, the Israeli military has abducted the Palestinian deputy prime minister, along with two cabinet ministers and 56 parliamentarians. On July 1 Israeli warplanes attacked the headquarters of the recently elected Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh. \nWhile preaching freedom to the people of the region, the US and many Western countries do not hesitate to provide political cover for the illegal seizure and occupation of Arab land in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. \n\nAnd while filling the air with demands for the release of two captured Israeli soldiers, it turns a blind eye to the 10,000 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians languishing in Israeli jails, about 4,000 of whom are detained administratively without charge or trial.\n  \nNo wonder that most have lost faith in the American-led rhetoric of democracy, human rights and reform.\n \nMuch of the region’s troubles issue from this increasing convergence between American and Israeli policy in the Middle East. The similarity between the two strategies concocted in Tel Aviv and Washington is such that it has become increasingly difficult to tell which is which. \n\nBreaking what has been a taboo for decades, Professors John Mearsheimer and Steve Walt concluded in their article "The Israeli Lobby" that American foreign policy is more representative of Israeli than American national interests. The US Middle East policy is contrary to the long-term strategic interests of the United States. \nThe alliance between the US and Israel is not something new. Since the end of the 1950s, preserving Israel's security was passed from the British to the US. \n\nEver since, American national interests have been seen as wedded to those of the state of Israel. However, what is new is that Israel has moved from a proxy at the service of British/American interest in the strategic Middle East to a definer of American policy itself. \nIt has become customary for consecutive British and American administrations to provide full support for Israel in its invasions, incursions and wars. With Bush and Blair, however, the usual frigid calls for restraint have vanished, making way for assertions of Israel’s right to defend itself and combat terrorism. This is as though Israel were a wretched occupied country, not the world’s fourth-largest military force and the region’s sole nuclear power. It has repeatedly invaded its neighbours’ lands, colonising the Egyptian Sinai desert, Lebanon, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Palestinian territories. \n\nIts massive military arsenal has been used to impose and expand illegal settlement, pursue collective punishment of the local populations and terrorise its neighbours through raids, kidnappings, assassinations, massacres, violations of air space and territ

Yes, There is absolutely no doubt about it, the veil has been removed; Israel is a Jewish Extremist Terrorist State that behaves like a democracy but is in reality an Apartheid entity. \n\nIt occupies Palestinian lands in the name of "Birth Right" for Orthodox Jews believe they are Yahweh’s (God's) "Chosen People" and were therefore "Promised" the land of Palestine approximately 4000 Years ago.\n\nAlthough this might have been true then, the Same God of Moses, Sent Jesus. Jesus tried to make the Jews return to the path of God, which had been altered by some bad Jews from the Jewish People. Many of the Jews accepted Jesus, but the arrogant ones refused, and collaborated with the Roman Empire soldiers to get him, but they failed. The Mighty Lord, Capable of EVERYTHING Took him away and made the Jews think that he was "Put on the Cross", hence the crucifixion. \n\n600 Years later, The Lord sent His Angel Gabriel, The Lord's Mercy be upon Him, to his Singled out Prophet in the Desert City of Mecca in Al Hijaz in the Arabian Peninsula. Many Christians and some Jews accepted Prophet Mohammed's message, Peace of the Lord be upon him and all God's Prophets. Christians, Jews and Pagans accepted God's final messenger to Mankind and those are the people who are Muslim today, More than 1.4 Billion Muslims world-wide and rising.\n\nThe land of Palestine, in the mean time, was inhabited by normal tribes and peoples from all over the region and the world. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together side by side on the land even throughout the Ottoman Empire rule up until things began to get nasty up in the heads of certain Jewish Extremists who call themselves, the Zionists. \n\nThe Zionists started more than a century ago to seriously pursue establishing a homeland for their own and they started to buy politicians and fool others into subscribing to their false "Jewish Supremacy over Palestine" ideology.\n\nThe Muslims, although great achievers for the past 13 decades, were in the late 1800's and early 1900's suffering from a general Malaise caused by corruption and ignorance and the lack of advancements. \n\nThe last Sultans of the last Islamic Empire, the Ottoman Empire, were too busy with internal politics and holding their weakening Empire together, to the extent that they could no longer function at a sufficient capacity to ensure the protection of all lands.\n\nThe Zionist came in as the Muslims were weak, and became stronger when the British and French took over the Islamic Federal State of the Levant (Which today is divided into Syria, Lebanon Palestine and Jordan). \n\nBalfour, The infamous British Criminal Foreign Minister, promised the Zionists a "Jewish Homeland" in the land of Palestine. He wasn't at right to promise that which he doesn't own, of course, because It wasn't the British's land for them to give it away.\n\nSo, the Zionists actually believed themselves, and they believed that they now have a State of Israel. They tricked thousands of Jews into coming from their countries to this foreign country of Palestine. \n\nThey succeeded. And the unsuspecting Muslim and Christian Palestinians were overwhelmed with this sudden ferocious attack against them. The Zionists were capable of using their European connections (where most of them came from) to bring in large supplies of Machine guns, APC's (Armored Personnel Carriers) and even airplanes. They bombed Palestinian towns (back then, Palestinians at the most, had those old WWI single round shotguns).\n\nThe Palestinians were a people living under Ottoman Rule, as part of the Ottoman country, just like Iowans, Californians, are living under US federal law. The Jews claim that there was no Palestinian State. that's what they like to say to themselves and to others, to justify their crime of course. But they're absolutely lying and clearly out of line with true

When/if Israel wants it.

First off there are threats then they will try to share the\nnuclear technology. then we will bomb them or Israel will. There will be no ground invasion but many bombs!

I think that Israel is protecting itself from destruction.\n\nWhat would YOU do if you were surrounded by neighbors who wanted to drive you into the sea, or just plain butcher you?

It has been long thought (decades) by many members of radical Islam that the state of Israel must not exist.  Old habits die hard, hate breeds more hate.

I think it would B a great idea, but they'll all get 2gether moan, air their differences, moan some more, say there's progress but won't really trust 1 another 2 make any changes.\nYep me I'm so V pessimistic when it comes 2 Israel! \n\nThey have a terrible habit of screaming we're all Anti-Jew when things really look like they're not going their way!

No..Israel will. Then Iran will hit back and the US will come running to help the jews..and cause even a BIGGER problem..that will expand the entire region.

ISRAEL of course!! (Never underestimate a sh it disturber) I should know as I'm one. Seriously though ...think about it...considering their location and the fact that they are the only Jewish Nation and they are surrounded by Muslim countries...wouldn't you think it would be in their best interest to promote peace and to have a peace agreement. Sometimes you have to give a little to get a little. To me not having to live in fear everyday of my life and constantly look over my shoulder and wonder if that day will be my last or if my kids school will be bombed that day etc is a huge deal. I would be willing to cut off my right arm (literally) for such a compromise. Israel however has the great USA backing them so they can afford to stir the pot, piss in the faces of their neighbours and stomp on their faces, kill their women and children etc cause they have a trump card which is don't mess with me or I'll set my big brother on you! This is the reason for all the terrorists acting like maniacs...they are mad at the USA for helping Israel kill their people by providing them with money and weapons. If the US hadn't been doing this all these years Israel would have been more compromising long ago and the world would be a better place. I think the USA is a great country but they would be better off giving their vets and poor people the money or better health care, housing and education instead of throwing the money at Israel every year. Even the Bible tells you to look after your own first. (Charity begins at home) so they should look after their own peoples needs first then help others after (if they really need help) Just my opinion!

yes, israel is beyond the pale.  they are committing mass murder in gaza.  they used depleted uranium in their vicious attacks on lebanon.  just as they sank our USS Liberty in the 60s, they've now fired on a german military ship.  israel must be stopped.  they have become the nazis.

Will Israel Strike Iran? I f they feel threatened enough, Yes. They have never  been one to wait and see. Will they use the Nuclears? Not unless they are hit with Nuclears first. Israel has had Nuclear Capability since the 70s.\nWill Iran strike with Nuclears?  No,because they then would be a target for retaliation from the U.S.\n\nWho is the threat ? North Korea, their economy is in the tank,  Their leader  is delusional and wants to rule the world. Their leader doesn't seem to care whether  the populace lives or dies.     What have they got to lose?

Yes many many many many times.  There is a ton of information out there.  Do a search using "Israeli peace talks".  Happy reading

Iran has threatened that way for about 30 years and actually nothing has happened.\nThere are some facts that I give you about Iran and Israel, its on you to decide:\n1. Its a historical fact, Iranian King Koorosh after conquering Babylon rescued a group of Israelis that was prisoned there, his name is in Jews holy book(the last part I have heard from a Jew friend)\n2. Lots of famous Israel leaders born and grew up in Iran, want a sample? Netaniaho\n3. Jews live freely in Iran, no one do any harm to them, they are accepted as a god based religion and they are free to do they rituals and business, even send money to Israel if they want to, they can leave Iran and go Israel but they don't\n4. Iran and Israel haven't done anything against each other, maybe cursing is the worst act\n5. Although everyone think Iranian is Arabs Iranian are not arabs and they almost hate them specially because of what they have done when conquered Iran, so Iran and Israel have a common enemy\n6. Israel have done anti Iraq operations many times, Iraq was Iran enemy(they were in war for years)\n7. Iran Nuclear program was at progress for years, Israel could do an operation when Iran was really weak(After Iran-Iraq war exactly at the time they attack Iraq)\nMaybe they yell at each others but they totally love each other ;)\nMany hidden strings in Iraq and Middle east are in Iran hands, although Neo Conservatism theories which are at progress specially by UK urges that Israel needs peace and UK is the leader of Middle east politics from old times.\nSo decide yourself, these are the facts that I know.

The UN is currently dealing with it.\n\nIran doesn't like that and so they bait us.\n\nIf something more is needed, it will become obvious with time.\n\nIran's biggest problem is their vocalized threat of nuclear attack on Israel.

My thought is that Israel will attack Iran if it continues it's drive for nuclear weapons.  But it will attack beforehand, not after they have nukes (they attacked Iraq in this manner years ago).\n\nJMorritz asks why Israel is not treated as a rogue state, so I'll answer that.  Israel has never intentionally targeted innocents (as opposed to Arab terrorists, who actively seek civilian targets such as markets and busses).  Israel is willing to establish diplomatic relations with any Arab in thNation, however few are willing to return such an offer.\n\nYou want to know how bad things are for Israel?  Despite bordering no European nation, the international soccer association (FIFA) has Israel classified as in Europe, because countries in the nearby area refuse to play them.  You think that's Israel's wish?  Nope.
