Should we expect the first nuclear weapons use in the middle east?

With policy of "nuclear ambiguity," Israel has neither confirmed nor denied possession of nuclear weapons. Would the Iranians like to try it out with the mother of all battles coming up in the Middle East?

I think it is no longer a secret that Israel possesses nuclear capabilities and if the country finds itself in a dangerous situation that threatens its existence, such weapons would be deployed.

It has long been the wish of Iran and its proxies to wipe Israel away from the face of the earth. With such existential threats, will the Israelis not respond in kind against Iran and its proxies?

Hopefully all of them can find some common ground to resolve their differences. Hamas must get to the table to resolve the differences. Israel must agree with the two state resolution, recognizing the state of Palestine. Hezbollah too must keep the required 10 miles behind the blue line and cease firing rockets daily into Israel.

Two state solution is impossible!
No state can live with moslems side by side and have peace.

If Palestinians want a state, I suggest they all move to Gaza but West Bank and Jerusalem?!
Hell NO!

hotwax:


No.

Israel attention was on Gaza.

Now that it’s shifting to Lebanon, more defense resources will concentrate on Lebanon.

Israel was managing hizbollah assault..trying to make sure it does not escalate till they are done with Hamas.

You won’t see those toys again, once Israel direct their attention to beruit..

U may not understand..u will understand in few weeks.

I will always support Israel. Islamist are the same everywhere.

We have them in Nigeria…book haram, Fulani herdsmen. Did we also stole Fulani herdsmen land?

Islam is Islam my brother…they want to kill infidels..

The target of Iran is to open multiple war fronts so as to stretch the idf, so you think hamas will chill once they shift their attention to hisbollah. Last time they went to lebanon to free their two soldier they came back empty handed. We dont need this useless war!!

Krismas:
what is the range of those missiles hamas use to fire? what is the warhead pay load? the hamas missiles, was not intended to harm civillians. otherwise, why is the iron dome, not helping israel against REAL missiles from hezbollah bockam?
wake up from ur zionist slumber

Read your news. Hezbollah has been firing thousands of rockets into Isreal for a long time now, some getting in and some intercepted. All rockets both from Hezbollah and Hamas are intended for harm irrespective of civilians or combatants only that the aerial security minimises that effect. Stop being smart by half. You would have celebrated long ago if not for the Iron Dome, your intention and expectations are clear from your comments trying to absolve terrorists.

lexy2014:


Of course Iran has a hand in the October 7 event cos they sponsor Hamas militarily and give them anti-israel ideas. But Israel has first hand knowledge of the impending attack from it's soldiers guarding the area and from Egypt but refused to take any action either preemptive or defensive.

Who do you now blame?

No one is perfect.

Israel took the information for granted, probably thinking it was farfetched that such could happen. Such lapses do happened, especially when you get too confident. Isreal probably thought it had everything wrapped up.

Israel might even have assumed its was capable of defending themselves against an assault but Hamas seemed to have used a Blitzkrieg, catching Israel unawares.

I very much doubt Israel wanted an invasion to happen.

Ukraine did not take intelligence reports that Russia was planning an invasion seriously given to it by the West.

Just look at how America handled China

Hamas with a supportive hand from Iran.

Hamas with a supportive hand from Iran.

Why do you blame them?

lexy2014:


Why do you blame them?

Hamas and violence can not be divorced. Hamas also said they carried out the invasion.

Secondly, Iran funds Hamas. Hamas pleases it paymasters.

If Iran had said no to such an invasion, Hamas would have scrapped it.

Ovacoma:

Nowhere google says Hezbollah defeated Israel. It's easy to spot people who believe in flying donkeys!

you were too young to know this! Ask your father about hezbollah israel war 2006

funshint:

They should wait for Hezbollah to unleash terror on them?

Good. So you now see why “so-so country should be left alone” does not work in international conflicts? Doing nothing is tantamount to permitting something.

Since you acknowledge that Hamas is synonymous with violence and is funded by Iran Israels arch enemy and Israel knew that Hamas was going to attack and did nothing about it, how then are you blaming Iran and Hamas for the attack?

Yes, if a father leaves the front door open and robbers use that as an opportunity to enter the house and rob it blind, molest his wife and all his daughters and they run away, no one blames the robbers but the father who forgot to lock the door. Robbers are known to be good-for-nothing fellows so can be excused but the father won't for his lapse of judgment

What you're saying is that Netanyahu deserves the full blame for the Hamas invasion by leaving the door open. The security forces could have nipped the invasion in the bud had they acted quickly with info given to them by Egypt.

Israel probably did not take the threat seriously. They probably underestimated Hamas, considering the level of defence it had and quality of the intel they collect.

Anyway you look at it, it seems Israel messed up, whether they did know or not.

You believe that Israel was itchy to find a quarrel with Hamas and teach them a lesson once and for all. Israel is a nation that does not suffer fools gladly and time and time again, it has unleashed horror on Gaza when every time Hamas hurls rockets into Israel. They were unmoved by criticism from the West and other countries to stop hitting "civilian targets" in Gaza.

If they were unmoved then, why did they need the excuse of the October 7 invasion to launch the gates of destruction on Gaza?

To be honest with you, I always respect all views. Why? I might be wrong.

Threatening as if you guys can do anything? All these Islamic countries are just foolish fr

All this plenty grammar is not necessary.

I asked a question based on your claims as follows..

Since you acknowledge that Hamas is synonymous with violence and is funded by Iran Israel's arch enemy and Israel knew that Hamas was going to attack and did nothing about it, how then are you blaming Iran and Hamas for the attack?

Israel refused to take actions when informed about the planned invasion, this makes Israel the guilty party in this conflict. Hamas on the other hand has done nothing wrong. This is the way donkeys reason!

How do donkeys reason? Are you talking about how you reason?

You claim Israel didn't act on information that would have scuttled Hamas attack.

Why did Israel not act on that information?

adebowales:

Ok. At least, nowhere google says Hezbollah defeated Israel. One thing is certain, Hezbollah will not be the same after this coming war. This is why Iran is threatening so that Isreal will back off. I think Iran should be happy that this is an opportunity to destroy Israel, why wanting to prevent the war since Hezbollah can defeat Israel?

I know how donkeys reason, many of them are blaming Israel for allowing Hamas carry out their atrocities, blaming Israel for tunnels built by Hamas instead of using the fund to take care of the gazans and development of Gaza strip, blaming the Jews for any problem in the middle east, etc. It is just like blaming the USA for pearl harbor's attacks by the Japanese.

Bro, let me get a bit of what you are smoking

Krismas:
lol.
u wrong. Hezbollah's goal, is the obliteration of America. Israel is too small.
ofcourse, trust America to rush to the red sea to protect Israel again, in the war against Hezbollah.
so that, Hezbollah can get the much needed chance to finish off America permanently.
this is the plan.

Iron Dome is worthless. If Hezbollah wanted to kill civilians, why will they sent them text messages to evacuate? The time to kill civilians is close at hand. Then and then alone u will realize it’s merely civility of Mosley’s in the levant that have prevailed all along and not any USELESS iron dome

Tyche:

It was hezbollah who drove out America, France and Israel out of Lebanon. U think they are weak? Then America can’t even defeat Houthi in the Red Sea, yet u think America is unbeatable? They couldn’t even beat Taliban! They have not won any war since WW2. Dey play
