Mr. M.J.B. is correct, which is why Israel not only took out Iraq’s nuclear capability, but also Syria’s and Iran’s.
And it wasn’t just for Israel’s benefit either — it was for the benefit of the whole world.
“Israel not only took out Iraq’s nuclear capability, but also Syria’s and Iran’s.”
The last I heard, Israel has not taken out Iran’s nuclear programs. Perhaps some sabotage (stuxnet) and some assassinations but certainly not enough to have stopped it.
Once again, I am not taking issue with Israel’s actions. My point was to make clear that the statement in post #20 (”If someone is coming to kill you, rise against him and kill him first.”) is not found in the Old Testament (or in the New) as some might have wrongly assumed.
