Enough, Israel. Nuke em. Not the population centers, just the nuclear facilities and the missile bases. If they make too much noise, threaten to take out Kharg Island as well.

Hopefully they will stand like they did after the Blitzkrieg and Pearl Harbor. Cause they didn't do squat before!

History has a way of repeating itself, I look for it to get almost hopeless, before help arrives!

The EU of today doesn't have the guts to stand up to even the weakest third world chump. Israel should be training and gearing up for a war they see as inevitable. If the Holocaust taught them anything it taught them that they can't rely on anybody for their own self preservation.

I have NO sympathy for those who choose not to fight.

One holocaust should have enough impact, but another one will be brought upon their failure to act.

No excuse.
