Iran is attacking Israel

[pharmer]

I don't get it. If Iran shoots 200 missiles into Israel, why aren't 200 missiles going in the opposite direction?....

The Israeli's don't do that. If they fire a "precision instrument" the target is toast. They try to avoid collateral damage. Joe

I think the real questions are

1) Why is this our problem to solve?
2) As world policeman, how many American boys are going to be causalities in this infinity war.
3) How much is this going to cost?

But we heard recently from a high level source that none of our troops are in a combat zone, so all's good, right?

 

[Rudi]

Hopefully the IDF takes out their POL facilities and the nuke site.

I don't get it. If Iran shoots 200 missiles into Israel, why aren't 200 missiles going in the opposite direction? Iran might not want to trade missile for missile if they can't shoot them down while Israel can.

In case you haven't been paying attention, things have been that way over there for decades. In fact one could make a sensible argument it has been going on for centuries.

Millenia might be more accurate than centuries,

Israel is not a country to be messed with. Some other countries would do well to remember history before it repeats itself.

This gives Israel the perfect excuse to blow up all of Iran's nuclear stuff. A good start would be to blow up what is left of Iran's Navy, nuclear facilities, Air Force, and factories that make the rockets and drones. Iran just announced that their retribution for the latest Israeli retribution is over. We'll see. The main mullahs are hiding right now just in case.

So much destruction, and so much bloodshed, in that entire region over the years...

Egypt and Jordan realized decades ago that it's best to live in peace with Israel, rather than pursue an endless, futile war. I wish the other nations there have the same epiphany...and soon.

I remember when Anwar Sadat made peace with Israel. He basically told the rest of the Arab nations to go pound sand. Reflecting back, I can remember thinking what a progressive move that was. He took a lot of heat for that, and eventually got assassinated for it

I was in Cairo the week before the Sadat assassination. I left the country at just the right time.

I'm sorry to see all this pre programmed vitriol. Listen to Col. Doug Macgregor with Judge Napolitano on utub for a less pro Zionist take.

I am fully aware of history in that area and Europe, Africa, the China sea, and others.

On #3, Israel is the single largest recipient of US foreign aid since 1948. We still pay Israel $700+ per year per person in aid.

They certainly seem to realize just saying "don't" don't work.

Most people I talk to are not aware of how much foreign aid Israel gets .

 

[biku324]

Here ya go - it averages $3.3 billion per year for 6 million people. FA.gov

I often wonder how many are aware of much of anything going on in the world.

Some analysis of the missiles that got through.

[Rudi]

The IDFs anti missile systems are smart. They calculate trajectories and if the target is going to hit empty land they do not waste ammo on it.
