71% of Israelis want U.S. to strike Iran if talks fail

It is really disturbing to hear such news. Majority of Israeli see no other option but to declare a war on Iran if the negotiations fail.

Poll: 71% of Israelis want U.S. to strike Iran if talks fail

Fully 71 percent of Israelis believe that the United States should launch a military attack on Iran if diplomatic efforts fail to halt Tehran’s nuclear program, according to a new poll.

The survey, commissioned by Bar-Ilan University’s BESA Center and the Anti-Defamation League, found that 59 percent of Israelis still believe the war in Iraq was justified, while 36 percent take the opposite view.

Some 65 percent believe that the United States is a loyal ally of Israel, with only 11 percent saying the opposite. A slightly higher proportion, 73 percent, described U.S. President George W. Bush as friendly. Forty-eight percent attributed U.S. support for Israel to strategic considerations, while 30 percent credited American Jewry and 17 percent cited shared values and a shared democratic tradition.

Don’t they imagine that if such a war irrupts, their ass will be burned too? Yes, war by proxy (unfortunately the American soldiers again) is a good choice if you have the choice, but Iran these days is far stronger than Saddam when he attacked Israel during Gulf War.

Personally I think if this war ever ignite, it will be the “end of days”. No one will escape the hell of it.

    I bet about 90% of Americans want Israel to strike Iran if talks fail.

    Yes, but it’s strange that nobody’s saying: “If talks fail, we will strike Iran”

    I don’t really care what Israelis think. We don’t pay them $3 Billion every year plus another $8 billion a year to the neighborhood so they can think. Israel is a proxy for American interests in the ME. And they’ll do exactly what we tell them to do or we’ll slap ‘em so hard they’ll think God himself wants to kick them out again. We pay them to bait Arabs so we can have an excuse to suck their oil fields dry. Don’t kid yourself that any body gives a shit about whether Jews have a homeland or not.

    And who cares about “loyal” allies when you are being paid to do a job? The coalition of the willing maybe? What’s the name of that little country that always votes with the United States when it comes time to veto U.N. resolutions calling for Israel to cease and desist in the asshole department? It’s some little island out in the middle of the Pacific that’s on the U.S. payroll. That’s your coalition of the willing folks.

    The whole world is at war over blind American support for Israel. We’ve completely drained the U.S. treasury into the desert in Iraq just to get rid of one of Israel’s enemies and now Israel would like to get the stupid giant to do it again for them against Iran.

    Nuh uh bitches. That’s it. No more credit. You blew it. You can’t make peace with a few hundred thousand Palestinians and you want us to bail you out. Forget it. Find some other country that would give a shit whether you exist or not.

    If you want to nuke Iran, then I say we nuke you.

    Clean up your act and join the human race.

    They want America to strike Iran because they believe the Charles Manson like leader of Iran is not joking when he says he wants to whipe Israel off the map an effort to bring about an Islamic helter-skelter that is then supposed to usher in the 12th Imam with Jesus Christ who will kill Jews and Christians for partnering Jesus with Allah. The Imam that the leader of Iran is trying to bring about, is believed to have disappeared down into a well (pit?) as a child since ancient times. That he, the 12th Imam, supposedly, continues to hide down in this pit to this very day, awaiting the “Day of Judgement” where he can be unleashed…(for a short season?). So, ah, yeah, I can SEE why Israel might want America to try to take out Iran before Muhammed Manson gets his nukes, how about you?
