I'm not indifferent to WMDs being used on Israel. My use of the term " first move " does not necessarily require that WMDs would have been used. What I was saying is that we (collective WE in the US, not just the 1-2% of the population who are Jews) need to make decisions based on the overall welfare of the US and what Iran does to jeopardize that welfare. We should not be goaded or spooked into action by "Chicken Littles" who have an extra-territorial allegiance.

While the Jewish breakdown by persuasions (60% dem, you say) may be true, the influence of the liberal Jewish slant is prevalent in the MSM by my reckoning.

A liberal is a liberal whether they call themselves Jewish or not. For a liberal, allegiance to socialism supercedes in all cases any other identity.

In terms of our own security, a successful strike on Israel would be devastating, depriving us of one of our most valuable intelligence and defense technology partners, to say nothing of the fallout that would come from such a clear failure of our security policy, not only in that area of the world, but globally.
