Who in their right mind thinks Isreal can't defend itself against a potential Iranian attack?

[squashtheRepubliCrats082369]

And not just defend, but to go toe-to-toe, mano y mano, with them. The U.S. arms them with nukes, small arms, equipment, satellite imagery, intelligence, a navy.....they have tons more resources for war than Iran does. This is for the naive who say: 'We need to attack Iran because they threatened Isreal.'

[JoeS2197]

A common argument is that U.S. support actually endangers Israel since the apparent tight U.S./Israeli alliance presents a united threat. True or not, many Muslims view Israelis as aggressors. And they don't trust the U.S.There could be some truth to this argument.

Why do we care so much about Israel?Why would we defend Israel but tell the people of Darfur "tough luck"?

[Letthefactsconfuseyou8937]

There is what is known as re-supply Israel will run out ofbombs quickly and drag the USA into the War,Remember Russian missle men shot down 110 Israeliplanes in hours during the 1973 war, Now Iran has theseweapons, with 35 years of improvement,

[Gucci2612]

Well, whether or not they can defend themselves, they haven't asked for the US to step in and already, the US is again considering to play superhero when there's no damsel in distress in sight.

Israel would turn Iran into a glass parking lot. There's really no need to worry about "little old" Israel. I pray to any god I can think of Israel doesn't invade Iran pre-emptivley though.

[JeanG4874]

absolutely, they certainly dont need our help, at this point looking at our economy-i would say we need their help.

[delphi4246]

I do. Israel has a more than comptent military.

[pip4382]

Now.. I'm not saying the Israeli airforce is better than the US's.. we have better toys... but it is a well documented fact that Israel has the best pilots in the world. They are well trained and experienced. That alone would give them all the edge they would need in a traditional war with any nation in the Middle East.

Israel does have superiority weaponry but numerically is at a disadvantage. Iran doesn't have the military power to stop Israel from invading Iran today let alone attacking. Iran does have many other angry Arab nations that would love nothing more then wipe Israel off the map and they hold America by the balls with there vast oil reserves, but Israel has America and maybe a handful of Europeon allies that would back it up. I think it comes down to nuclear weapons. Iran wouldn't attack unless they had one or maybe two nuclear weapons which they would use first but I personally think we should leave Israel out to dry and worry about our own problems but I'm not the president.
