Yes, Israel could EASILY strike Iran if they wanted to.Paddy, you think Israel can just run over to Iran and invade? Look at a map.
I won't take it back.... show me anytime Israel has invaded any of its neighbors unprovoked. When someone rolls across your borders with tanks, it's okay to defend urself. When terrorists fire rockets into civilian populations (ur friends), it's okay to defend urself.
You should think it through my friend. My statement is accurate.
Israeli aggression;
-The Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people started in 1897 in Basle, Switzerland, when the founders of Zionism decided to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, on the expense of the Palestinian people. The 1947 UN Partition Resolution gave the two warring parties a state for each one of them with clearly defined territories.
-The 1948 war is the original example of Israeli aggression. By the end of that war, Israel has annexed the Palestinian Arab territories of Galilee, Auja, parts of Gaza Strip, and parts of the West Bank, all of which were parts of the Palestinian Arab state according to the Partition resolution. Israeli forces had attacked Palestinian territories, particularly Galilee, well before the Arab states entered the war. If you go back to the memoirs of all Israeli leaders, you'll find that they wanted to annex Jerusalem, which was in the middle of the Arab territory of the West Bank. To do that they penetrated the West Bank to Jerusalem, that is why there is a corridor linking Israel to Jerusalm. Finally, the Israeli forces, the Haganah, had a plan known as Plan Dalet, according to which they attacked Palestinian villages to evict Palestinians from them, in our time now we call this ethnic cleansing. All this has nothing to do with the intervention of other Arab states in the war. The Israeli aggression has continued ever since by not allowing Palestinian refugees, who were evicted by Israelis from their towns and villages, to return to their property,. That is why the problem has continued until today.
-The October 31, 1956 war, in which Israel participated with Britain and France in attacking Egypt and the Palestinian Gaza Strip, was Israel's second major war of aggression against Arabs.
-The June 5, 1967 war was the third major Israeli war of aggression against Arabs (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza). It was justified by Israeli leaders and their supporters as a pre-emptive strike. Sharon still uses this type of justification by following his policy of the assassination of Hamas leaders. It was an Israeli war of aggression, launched for expansion and justified as a preemptive strike.
-The war of attrition that the Egyptians engaged the Israelis on the banks of the Suez Canal between 1967 and 1973 was the Egyptian resistance to the Israeli occupation of Sinai, which continued as an aggression against Egypt during that period. What would you expect the Egyptians, the most ancient nation on earth, to do? Did you want them to submit to the will of the Israeli invaders? They couldn't allow themselves to be humiliated. So, this was nothing but resistance to the Israeli aggression which started on June 5, 1967.
-The October 1973 War, the Yom Kippur War, was an Egyptian and Syrian war to liberate their territories that Israel occupied on June 5, 1967. How can you ignore the original Israeli aggression and look at the reaction to it as an aggression? This is exactly the problem of today between the Sharon government and the Palestinian people. Sharon wants to continue assassinating Hamas leaders and killing Palestinian civilians as a collateral damage without receiving back their reaction, suicide bombing, rocket launching, and attacks on Israeli soldier. Many Israelis still insist not to see their aggrression, as represented by their military occupation of the Arab territories and the subjugation of the Palestinian people to their military rule. All what they focus on is the Arab reaction to their aggression.
-In brief, all the wars launched in the Middle East were Israeli wars of aggression or reistance to these wars. It seems that the Middle East, and the world, will not see peace until Israelis and their supporters acknowledge that you cannot invade and occupy other nations without triggering resistance. Only when Israelis become peaceful people, the Middle East and the world will enjoy peace.
