This is way to far ahead for most palestinians to be thinking. I've been told the probable path takes an Iranian missle over Syria, a shoot down could drop it in Damascus.

[TheConservator]

The real question is--do the Palestinians care? Or would they willing trade their own martyrdom for the destruction of Israel. I suspect many, and perhaps the majority, would be more than happy to do so.

[BenLurkin]

I'm not so sure that the Mullahs wouldn't be happy to see the demise of a million Palestinians.

That 'sacrifice' would mean one million fewer mouths to them to feed after the West pulls all financial support for the P.A..

[Honestfreedom]

If they hit Tel Aviv they would get a much higher ratio of Jews compared to Arabs. Of course the area would not be livable for the Arabs on whose half they liberated the area but then again life is not their forte. Of course the bombs hitting Tehran would sting a bit also.

[Lunatic Fringe]

This is why I don't believe Iran's threats to nuke Israel. Even their Arab cousins would shun them. And they know that a nuclear retaliation would be backed by almost the entire world.

They want something.

[RightWhale]

They should hope their 72 million virgins aren't on leave from Gabriel having a night on the town in Havana when the nukes go off.

[Petronski]

Actually, since nuclear physics is "joooo science," I'd bet the bomb would kill only joooo-haters.

[JAWs]

Are the Palis smart enough to ask this question? Or are they so full of hate that common sense is impossible?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Nobody cares about the Palestinians...least of all the Arabs or Persians.
Why do you think Egypt and Jordan keep them in camps? Because they care?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Or are they so full of hate that common sense is impossible?

They kill themselves so they can live free. What does that say?

[wagglebee]

I think that one trap we tend to fall into is that we think about this with a Judeo-Christian mindset.

The real problem is that Islam (at least as it is practiced in the Middle East) places absolutely no value on human life and at the same time glorifies death. So, rational thinking doesn't do any good here. The jihadists don't care how many Muslims are killed as long as they can kill more Jews and Christians. The concept of "mutually assured destruction" does nothing here.

It was this same type of thinking that caused us to be blindsided by the Japanese kamikazes during World War II. That is why the United States and Israel really need to start planning for preemption with Iran.

[TheDon]

One nuke in Tel Aviv is all it would take to end the state of Israel.

[EGPWS]

That’s the question Palestinians should be asking themselves.

Would Iranian nukes kill just Jews?

Palestinian response:

What's a 'nuke"?

Their response, KILL!

I don't understand the question.

Their response, KILL!

Israel?

Their response, KILL.

If we die, their response, KILL!

Ask a Palestinian if they are happy, and most will reply with "kill".

[EGPWS]

One nuke in Tel Aviv is all it would take to end the state of Israel.

You my FRiend are a small thinker.

One nuke on Tel Aviv is all it would take for civilization to disintegrate to mindful personal survival.

Iran would win....

[SJackson]

think that one trap we tend to fall into is that we think about this with a Judeo-Christian mindset.

Not to mention the fact that Iran could care less about killing a bunch of Sunni Arabs.

[RightWhale]

Vaporization of Tel Aviv would not touch Israel. Iran, however, would get pounded from all sides and when it is reborn might be known as Persia once more.

[wagglebee]

They could care less if they themselves all died if the result was the destruction of Israel. There is no doubt in my mind that they will use nukes the minute they have them, they will not bother to test them or anything like that. The sooner we eliminate their capabilities the better.

[spikeytx86]

The Palestinians have said that they are willing to kill 100 of there own people to kill one Jew. They would have no problem with being nuked to kill Jews. However I doubt the Saudi, Jordanian, and Kuwaiti People living upper class life styles may have another opinion on the matter.

Iran also must know that a nuclear strike on Israel will mean almost certainly a counter nuclear response from America. And we got some biggins.

[BW2221]

It would only kill Jews if Christians and Buddhists were not available.
