According to latest news they are carrylng out casualty simulations, (just in case)

They,ve always been preparing for war with Iran,Hair trigger stuff.

Only for about the last 2000  years , but this time their serious..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, let the music begin.

If there is a nuclear exchange, the whole world will suffer, and watch out for the price of gas! not to mention commodity .

Its only a matter of time when Israel will attack and cripple iran.The leader of israel does not respect obama so they will probably will not give notice to obama. Tensions are growing . I believe within next two weeks the attack will begin. The USA will help Israel, but you dont see anyone assisting iran. Iran has a death wish.  It  may very well come to that.

My sources didn't inform me about it.

the reason i ask this question is because my sister has been living there for four years she holds a british passport she has to leave every 3 months and re enter  on thurs she and her family had just returned to israel and they gave her two weeks to leave the country without any explanation???

I think you people need to read more about History.  In a nutshell many peoples want to claim the land that Israel owns as theirs.  Until recently (and probably not for long) the Palestinians and Israelies have fought about this.  But Israel has been attacked by terrorists groups - groups tied to Iran.  Though American Intelligence does not believe the Iranians have built nuclear weaons it is known that they have the Russian model for building bombs, the resouces to build the bomb (uranium, plutonium, etc), and specialized scientists to build it. They may actually have a bomb/ bombs) that noone has found.  The US and UN have placed sanctions against Iran because Iran will not cooperate-  the UN encouraged all known countries who have nukes to participate in what essentially is a promise not to use them- which these countries have agreed upon.  This agreement has been ongoing for quite a while.  Isreal is a very tiny country that could be obliterated easily by nuclear strikes.  Thy are running scared as Iran might have nukes- and some Iranian factions wouldn't think twice about using them against Israel.  The US entered talks with Israel trying to disuade them from 'gearing up' to pre-empt a nuclear attack.  The Israelies do not believe that the US nukes would make it to the Iranian nukes in time to save Israel.  They left the talks specifically saying that they would not inform the US prior to a pre- emptive strike so the US could not be blamed for it. (The pre-emptive strike may well include the use of a nuclear weapon which would break the UN agreement they signed).

Not only is Israel a country but most Israelies, Jewish, and Christian people believe it is the Holy Land.  And Israel is determined to keep it's land and its people safe.

So, to answer your question Israel does not want to engage in any type of war with Iran but they are willing to strike first if there is a clear and present danger of and Iranian strike.

Israel with the help of the US. is the military superpower in the middle east. Israel has an arsenal of nuclear weapons and modern day weapons supplied by the US. Israel has nothing to fear from Iran. It is not about Nuclear weapons, it is about the oil and dominance in the middle east.

An attack on Iran could result in a war, that will send oil prices through the roof and cripple our economy even further

Our polititians routinly inflate foreign threats, downplay the risks, ignore economic consequences and disregard american interests.

The prospect of Iran having a nuclear capability after all their old and more recent rhetoric is gradually tipping the cart. I honestly think it is only a matter of time, mostly based upon whether Israel feels it can launch a first strike that can cripple them and preclude massive retaliation. Otherwise, it'll be little different than taking a stick and whacking a bee hive!

the problem i have is, these are not the Iraqis they are the Persians and they aren't going anywhere 80 million strong with a desire to annihilate the west worrisome times ahead This may be the start of another great war what a great way to take your mind of the economic crisis 

so what your saying is that because most Germans  didn't agree with the extermination of Jews it didn't happen or because most peace loving people don't want to go to war world wars never happened this is not about people like you and me and the majority of Persians its about a handful of  warmongering people with a political agenda that unfortunately whether you like it or not represent all. this is the way of the world and has been from the beginning of time 

There would be no happy ending to this episode should there be a war between the two countries.   You can take this to the bank.
