BENJAMIN Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister, has said he would support a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear programme, the first time an Israeli leader has openly called for military action against the Islamic republic.
Israeli leaders have repeatedly identified Iran as the biggest threat to Israel and dismissed Tehran’s claim that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes.
**
Mr Netanyahu said Israel should follow the example of the late prime minister Menachem Begin, who ordered an airstrike on an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981.
“[He] did not allow Iraq to develop such a nuclear threat against Israel, and by a daring and courageous act gave us two decades of tranquillity. I believe that this is what Israel has to do,” he said.**
2 decades of tranquility if thats what he thinks israel has had for past 2 decades he must have been in a coma for 20 years! So israel wants to take on Iran i am sure this is sabre rattling for the up coming elections for the next leader of the squatter state of israel however, pre emptive strike would give Iran the perfect excuse to retaliate.

It is totally wrong for Israel to talk about pre-emptive strikes while it is perfectly OK for the leaders of Iran to talk about wiping Israel from the world map..
India is a big friend Iran but then India is a bigger chamcha of Israel. So I guess India will go with Israel.
Now Iran should take a preemptive strike against Israel before Israel takes preemptive shrike against Iran.
I just hope the Ayotollah gets assassinated & someone smarter comes in command. Iran was prospering before this fool came in. Now look at him. If the retard hadn't made an alliance with India, Pakistan would most probably come to Iran's aid, if a conflict with Israel was to errupt. Now its ally (India) will most likely side with its enemy (Israel) in times of a conflict with Israel, and no one will come to its aid.
Israel is openly preparing for war against Iran and has been for the last decade, yet I see no world condemnation...
An Iranian leader states that Israel should be wiped off the map and the world is an uproar...
So who is a bigger culprit? A nation which has broken more UN resolutions than any nation in history, with a proven track record of violent incursions into others' territories, of attacking cities and towns of other nations?
Or...
A nation, which states that its enemy which has been openly making preparations for war will be wiped off the face of the earth?
Iran calls for the removal and destruction of the squatter state everyday for almost 20 years the only reason its making headline news these days is because the US will use any means including propoganda to stop Iran developing its Nuclear capability and you will see the western media hyping up the situation more and more!
