Comments on: Israel’s nuclear strategy http://samsonblinded.org/blog/israels-nuclear-strategy.htm A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:09:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Anonymous- http://samsonblinded.org/blog/israels-nuclear-strategy.htm/comment-page-1#comment-116350 Anonymous- Mon, 03 Jan 2011 21:10:22 +0000 http://samsonblinded.org/blog/?p=1246#comment-116350 I am by far not the most knowledgeable on this subject, and it IS at touchy subject, however I just want to bring up one point that I think you may not have thought of... You are basically giving an excuse for nuclear warfare, and are saying that first strike is the only viable option. However there is not guarantee that the other country might attack, even in the case of pakistan and isreal, while they ARE engaged in low level warfare, Isreal cannot preemptively fire a nuclear missle without igniting a international incident. Each country capable of a second strike manner of nuclear assault greatly fears the launch of a nuclear missle, no matter how small. The moment that the warhead fires, it is likely that many other countries ALSO fire their nuclear missles, in what they would think to be self defense. What would end up happening would be another world war, this one waged with nuclear weaponry. The civilian and possibly innocent casualties would be appalling and catastrophic. In short, what I am saying is that firing a nuke is akin to pressing the fire button on every nuclear silo on the planet.

Did rising mines have to do with the limit on ships coming to Gaza? 2. How many of the nukes are already on the 5 submarines, ready to retaliate? 3. Do any Arabs have good asw? 4. Could Arabs deliver nukes to Israel by suicide sub of their own? 5. When will women, children, elderly leave Israel before an attack, and to where? 6. If all the other ME countries gain nuclear weapons, and they will, how will Iran know who attacked her? Questions

I do care about cancer rate among people in Katzrin for example. "Effects are localized" - look who's talking about hypocrisy. Radioactive area in size of Golan is not "localized".

“Effects are localized” – look who’s talking about hypocrisy. Radioactive area in size of Golan is not “localized”.

Health care has nothing to do with cancer rates. At any event, the effects are highly localized. The last thing I care about is cancer rate among my Syrian enemies.

My generation doesn't have the guts to do that, me included. But, when a certain "religion" is evil, one must consider it as such. I just look at what those teachings did/do to this world and I don't like what I see. Someone who thinks that our people deserved "ALLEGEDLY"!!! "some holocaust" to have "learned the lesson of cherishing loving a human life" is a pile of shit, and his nation deserves the same so that they too can go through the "learning process". Anyway, enough about this guy. He is Amalek, and I don't care about what he thinks. He must be destroyed, and then he can go to Hell and visit his prophet there.

Funny how Israel gets blamed for stuff it doesn't do anyway. If we at least did things like clear the temple mount and decimated our enemies, then we could have reaped the benefits of it as well as the criticism. Makes me wanna shout till I run out of voice! “If only that were true”

This also expresses loudly that Israel has no value for human life and all they care about fulfilling biblical prophecies.

If only that were true…

Google for "Hiroshima cancer" reveals that, for example cancer rates are still above average despite excessive health care measures. Ignorance is a bless. In Hiroshima, I guess.
