So its less about what they actually do than it is about what you
believe they might do?

Not less. What they are actually doing now is making serious threats and
engaging in deliberately provocative behavior. So the question becomes, do
we take them at their word, or do we take the chance that they are full of
BS?

O take the threats and so-on seriously, but to go to war over them is ia bit
over the top. As much as it may pain you to hear it, if you want to justify
going to war, then wait until they do an act of war, not just threaten.
Thwart plans, yes. Limit availability of nuclear materials - sure, why not?
But invade? Thats a bit drastic.

It is a dangerous game when the stakes are nuclear confrontation, especially
when you are a country that can be effectively exterminated with 1 missile
launch.

I think Israel is big enough and ugly anough to look after themselves. Do you
really think they are so helpless?
