I don’t understand the (including frum) people who are hawkishly promoting an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Don’t they understand the great risk of an Iranian nuclear or conventional retaliation that can result in the deaths of many thousands of Jews?
Because Iran provides arms, training, information, equipment, funding, and soldiers to terrorist organizations that murder Jews and other denominations in Israel and around the world. There is much probable cause to believe that once they attain nuclear weapons, they will be smuggled to terrorists who will use them against Israeli and Western populations. An attack on Iran may beget a retaliation, but at least it won’t be nuclear war.
I’m not sure what is so hard to understand regarding the belief that you can’t allow your mortal enemy to get a hold of weapons that can annihilate you.
We should shake their hands and kiss their cheeks because then they totally won’t attack us with the nuclear weapons they are stockpiling…peace, love and mushrooms, dude…
If Iran goes nuclear it would actually get Europe in Israel’s side

Englishman, because as of right now, Israel has the only nukes in the showdown. If it starts getting too hot, they WILL drop the bombs. That should do enough to stop any country from functioning, let alone retaliate in full strength, much like the US did to Japan in WWII. The alternative is to let Iran have the bomb, let them smuggle it through terrorist proxies, and then blow it up in Israel C”V. In that case it may be too late for a counter attack, and also Israel will also not have the international support of counter-nuking Iran because Iran didn’t attack Israel directly and they can shift the blame elsewhere. It’s a chess game, and what you are proposing is to let Iran have the queen, when that’s your only current advantage. It’s suicide.
Who says the retaliatory strike will be more deadly than the one they already have in mind? <– question mark
Because it doesn’t get any more deadly than nuclear weapons, or dirty bombs.
If you’re looking for a guarantee that there won’t be heavy civilian casualties in Israel, you aren’t going to get one. It’s a cruddy situation, but it’s not a catch 22. One option is much less risky than the other.
For all the evil that Iran commits against the State of Israel and the Jews, attacking them full on would be the worst possible solution. It would accomplish almost nothing, as it would be exceedingly difficult to destroy all the Iranian underground nuclear sites. And it would give the Iranians, Syrians, Egyptians and Lebanese the excuse of the millenium to attack Israel with everything they’ve got, and the Jordanians and Turkish will be forced to break off ties with Israel.

The Haftara that we (most of us did’nt read: Kol kli yutzar alayich lo yitzlach….may we be zocheh
My biggest fear is that if/when Israel does attack Iran, it may trigger sleeper terrorist cells around the world. C’V if things like that happen, guess who will get scapedgoated by nations as usual… So we really need to be praying now, hard for Hashem’s mercy on us.
We should all have an escape plan to go live in the wilderness hundreds of miles from civilization…
