This Holocaust will be different

No more Israel.

And the mullahs think they'll be alive to see this?

[JimRed]

Only nuclear "accidents" at their nuke sites (with plausible deniability) will stop Iran's evil madness.

Won't matter; they love death and want their virgins!

[Dog Gone]

I could have done without that closing flashback, but unfortunately I think the rest of the article reflects my own analysis.

There is no way to stop the Iranians. And the Iran will attempt to obliterate Israel.

I think there is a very good chance that nuclear weapons will be used on cities in the Middle East, including Israel within the next 10 years. The only thing that can possibly prevent that is an Iranian revolution, and it just hasn't materialized.

Israel has over 100 nukes, probably more. They have a country-wide anti-ballistic missile defense and are pouring money into THEL laser defenses also.

Why don't writers understand this? Iran would be a sizzling crater if they fired their 3 or 4 nuclear firecrackers on Israel. Israel would shoot them down, and launch a counterstrike of 15-20 missiles.

That's PR for the Iranian unwashed. The mullahs are unused to sacrifice, love their prostitutes, and will hold desperately to their lives if they understand the threat. Most intimidating would be to pick them off one by one.

Sounds good to me; but who does it and how? Paging Jack Bauer; please pick up the red cell phone...

Seriously, they need to start disappearing without explanation, as do the Kim Jong Ils, Castros, etc. of the world.

[Right Wing Assault]

And, as with the first Holocaust, the international community will do nothing.

The environmentalists will become highly alarmed and issue "Please don't do this again" requests.

[Republitarian]

But, but, shouldn't we just sit down and talk with them? John Kerry and the Democrats kept telling us that if do that, we can all be friends, no war. If we talk to them, we can change the Muslim mind about obliterating Israel. If only we would listen to the Democrats everything will be just fine...!

[Alouette]

Benny Morris has done a lot of damage with his contribution to "Nakba" mythology.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[Difficult]

You don't think that Iran could get one nuke through?

[OKSooner]

"Benny Morris has done a lot of damage with his contribution to "Nakba" mythology.

Please help me out here.

Muslims slaughtering Jews?

I would like to believe that such an act would drive the remaining world populations of Jews and Christians to launch a crusade to finally, permanently, with extreme prejudice, rid the world of any vestige of islam and its adherents.

The UN lovers, Carterites and various peaceniks and Lefties would do whatever they could to stop that scenario.

Why don't writers understand this? Iran would be a sizzling crater if they fired their 3 or 4 nuclear firecrackers on Israel. Israel would shoot them down, and launch a counterstrike of 15-20 missiles.

And the world will howl about the disproportional force used by Israel. How dare Israel attack a disarmed (Iranian Missiles shot down) country.

[JasonC]

The bombs will be smuggled in or shot across the border at low altitude. Iran will have dozens of nukes on missiles unfired, and will deny it gave the nukes to the Hamas or Hezbollah delivery boys. Israel may well retaliate, but Iran does not think so. How much did Israel retaliate for an endless rain of rockets on her cities for a month, last year? Did Iran feel the slightest inconvenience? Didn't, instead, it suddenly find all diplomatic heat on it over its nukes, back burner-ed, as Europeans tripped over each other scrambling to condemn Israel?

[JasonC]

You might like to belief in the tooth fairy, but it is utter tosh anyway. New York would break out in cold sweats and look both ways before buying a bagel, but the west would not actually do a darn thing.

[GBA]

If the Iranians are stupid enough to launch a nuclear attack, Israel may do better than the author believes.

Such an attack, premeditated and unprovoked, would most certainly remove the last bit of multicultural madness from the minds of almost all western Jews and Christians and other non-muslims.

The realization following an Islamic nuclear attack on Israel is that the rest of non-muslims are next. In that realization, there would be no more "moderate muslims" and the final crusade would begin and then end with the last muslim's burial.

We have seen the barbarians in action. We know of their beheadings, their terrorist bombings, their genital mutilations, their belief that women are domestic beasts of burden, their disdain for democracy and individual liberty. And we remember their lack of condemnation when innocent Americans are killed by muslim terrorists.

There is a seething rage beneath our studied politeness and religious tolerance and a nuclear attack on Israel will set it free.
