Israelis Opposed to Striking Iran

Here’s a bit of “You don’t say” news.

Polls show most Israelis oppose strike against Iran

JERUSALEM – Israel’s tough talk of military action against Iran’s nuclear program has unleashed a strong backlash at home, with a growing number of voices urging the government not to attack without the support of the United States.
Israeli leaders, who have long issued veiled threats against Iran, now appear to be preparing the country for war. New gas mask distribution centers have opened, a nationwide missile alert system has been tested and an official this week warned of hundreds of casualties if Israel unilaterally strikes Iran.

Ask Americans if they are opposed to striking China/Russia/Iran/Venezuela/Syria etc.. Same result. I would bet my ridiculously substandard pay check that “Most Americans oppose” it. But there is a difference. None of those country’s can wipe us out with one good nuke. None of those country’s have been waging shadow war with us since we were founded.

At some point Israel will have to act against Iran. There’s only one possible way that it doesn’t happen. That is if Iran all of the sudden became a moderate western style democracy. So with that possibility about as likely as Obama becoming a Tea Party leader, a strike on Iran is going to happen. The only question is when.

I’d bet that if Obama is re-elected Israel will strike within days of the election results. If Romney/Ryan win, Israel will hold off a little bit. Any takers?
