Iran on Israel

Submitted by Donald W. Bales (United States), Nov 1, 2005 at 17:39

Obviously Israel could not survive a war of attrition. 4 1/2 million israelis (only 12-14 million jews worldwide versus 70 million iranis-to write nothing about 1.3 billion muslims). could the iran leaders be sure that the israeli response would not kill all or most of them? iran could be made uninhabitable. a complete first strke might be what they have in mind, but military things do not always go as planned.

the egyptians learned to their sorrow what rhetoric could lead to in the six day war. the blind left should have heard the wake-up call. do the iranians hate israel more than they do "the great satan?"
