I suspect that for one reason or another there is no right answer for Israel on this one.
I have to agree, there is the damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I do not think this will be a one on one street fight, this will become the war Christians have been waiting for over 2,000 years.
Hell of a mess in Europe, the Christian country's with a mass population of Muslims will be up to their eye balls in mass riots of their own. Little man power to help Israel, Then as last resort Israel may have no choice but to ask for help from China and their mass Army. Not so far fetched an idea, war makes strange bed fellas.
Who will Russia side with, most likely China, Then we have the Bear, the Eagle the Dragon all duking it out with the Muslim hoards from all over the world for the spoils of war, OIL---under the pretense of religious faith.
Israel cannot wait too long to act, they may as well take the first step, Offense--Defence is to loose power of a sort and only good against the unexpected. Intricate measures have been enacted for the defence of Israel and it's people, All apartments, hotels, and homes have bomb shelters fully equipped to with stand the worse of the worse.
Offence at a time when not months but weeks separate a non nuclear but all most there nation that threatens their neighbors with annihilation, time is of the Essence for Israel.
We are on the brink, just 2 steps from the cliff of Hell, not our doing to be sure or Israel's. The A-bomb ended a war for America, years later that same technology may just start the mother of all wars. REALITY and SURVIVAL
Wake up call for the Libs, they think their life is hard now, just wait--- Gangreen of the toe, chop the toe off. Do not wait until the disease spreads to the upper leg.
Only way to have peace is to keep the others fearfull of you. Bombs away boys-----darn the torpedo's full speed ahead.
