About those "thousands" of rocket attacks from Gaza . . .

"In the long run this situation cannot and will not stand. 
It doesn't really matter how this will come to an end, but to an end it will inevitably come"

Professor Tee...we can agree on something!
And the sooner the better!

"Do you really think that the Israelis can "destroy" what you call "the enemy?"

Absolutely!

Who is the enemy? 

There are multiple enemies as there often are in wars.
I will say I think the "Fifth Column" is the biggest enemy....with  Iran not far behind.

At this point, you say it's the Iranians. 

The Iranians are the primary conduit in the "clash of civilizations".

But it was the Turks who sent in the flotilla.

Yeah like Turkey can over-run Israel!....LOL
I seriously doubt Turkey instills much fear in Tel Aviv.

"How do you think this is going to work?  The Turks, who send an aid flotilla to Gaza because they are pissed off over the fate of 1.5 million Gazans are just going to stand around with their thumb in their bum when the Israelis "destroy" in Iran a nation of 73 million Muslims?"  

So Michael...whats Turkey really going to do if Israel attacks Iran & within hours has dropped multiple tactical
nuclear bombs on Iran's military facilities? Is Turkey with the Iranian military in ashes really gonna be excited to
run and jump in the "fun"?.....LOL....Yeah sure.


The Syrians are going to just sit around and watch Iran get destroyed, figuring it could
never happen to them?   Holding their fire on Israel until AFTER Israel has "destroyed" Iran
because that's when their chances will be better?

40/60 Assad would commit suicide....he might....but I really doubt it.
You claim Assad would attack Israel if Iran was attacked....mostly laughable.
Assad is a cagey...poker player...he is not someone I would want to depend on if I were Iran.
Michael Syria didnt even attack when Israel blew up the Syrian nuclear facilty in September 2007.
Yeah we saw how big and bad Syria was didnt we?
Syria didnt do shit except crawl in their hoel with their tail between their legs.
Because they knew quite well what would have happened had they done otherwise.
Talk is cheap Michael Tee!


What you're really hoping for is a situation that Winston Churchill once described with regard to the nations of Europe faced with a rising Nazi Germany:  "And each one feeds the crocodile, hoping the crocodile will eat him last."  The absurdity of the situation is exactly as Churchill portrayed:  NOBODY is going to stand around watching his allies getting eaten one by one by a crocodile when the loss of each victim makes the watcher that much less secure against the croc.  The ONLY logical action is collective action against the killer before the killer makes such action impossible, leaving him (the killer) in a one-on-one against his last victim.

Yeah yeah yeah....we've seen that in the past....and we see who still stands.
Talk talk talk....BRING IT ON!....NOW!.... TODAY?....Whats the hold-up?
Come and see if your side can take it?

THAT is Israel's problem.  Your solution is a logical solution to their problem, if they could pull it off, but to execute it would seal their fate.  Their basic problem is that their situation as an outnumbered and self-invited
member of the Middle East community, they just don't have the power to prevail against all their neighbours at
once

Hey it's not outnumbered Israel's fault all the neighbors are too chicken shit to attack all at once!
Maybe the "brilliant" Iranians can get enough help...ya know kinda like students that cant quite get it...
maybe get a tutor like a slow student does....
They're too stupid and behind the times to make a bomb themselves......

You're making a couple of huge assumptions, CU4.  Firstly that Israel is going to be able to "drop multiple tactical nuclear bombs" on Iran's military facilities.  Not all the planes will get through to their targets and not all the missiles will hit them.  Not all missiles and bombs that hit their targets may explode.  Not all the targets may be as vulnerable to the "tactical nuclear bombs" as you seem to think they are.  Some are dug deep into mountains or under ground.   Not all of Iran's nuclear sites may even be known to the Israelis.  The Iranian military, also, is not likely to be gathered out in the open with large signs posted over them saying, "Here I am!  Bomb here!"  Once Israel chooses to use tactical nukes, it had better be 1,000% sure of a total knock-out because at that point the gloves will be off - - any residual nuclear strike power will be used unsparingly on Israel.  Given the tiny size of the country, hits anywhere will be disastrous.  There is no question in anyone's mind that a successful nuclear attack on Israel will mean the end of Israel.

What is Turkey going to do if Israel attacks Iran?  At this point, probably nothing.  After a few more insults and crimes against Turkey and more Turkish nationals killed, they may be primed to go off and Iran may be just the trigger.  What is Turkey going to do if they escort a second flotilla with the Turkish Navy in international waters and the Israelis attack?  They will shoot back.  THAT I can guarantee.  Turkey is a NATO member and an attack on the Turkish navy or on ships protected by the Turkish Navy in international waters gives them Treaty rights to call on a mutual NATO defence.  Either NATO nations will have to honour their treaty obligations to Turkey as a member state or the whole organization will fall apart.

It's different after Israel attacked Turkey and would be still more different if Israe were attacking Syria and/or Iran as well.  The presence of other nations in a hot war with Israel is an emboldening factor to other hostile states, who would obviously feel that whatever chances they'd otherwise have of besting Israel would be seriously diminished if Israel gets away with elminating one enemy after another.  Iraq is already gone.  If Iran goes next, then Turkey . . . what chance for Syria then if it does not give in to newer, harder Israeli demands???

<<Yeah we saw how big and bad Syria was didnt we?>>

Syria was isolated then, but at least neither Turkey nor Iran was then facing U.S. or Israeli aggression.  Once one of them is under Israeli attack, the equation starts to change rapidly for Syria.
