Why does Iran want to attack Israel ?
353716
Iran(and all other Islamic nations) feel that Israel is on land that was stolen from Arabic people.  The Iranians feel that if Israel was destroyed, the land could be given back to their fellow Muslims.  There is also a history between these two countries that dates back to the early 1980's. For this length of time Iran has called for the extinction of Israel.  Back then it was just basically "hot air" coming from the Iranians(because Israel was selling them arms to help defeat the Iraqis in the Iran-Iraq War).  Today it is taken as a much more serious threat because of the radical new Iranian president, and the continued efforts of Iran to gain nuclear capability.

Nothing will happen.  Yes, that's right absolutely nothing.  All countries in that Region and many parts of the world just want to put up a perceived threat of retalliatioin of if you mess with them.  They see Isreal with Nuclear weapons, so they just want a deterant as well.  I mean run through the scenario, Iran attacks Isreal with a nuclear weapon, Isreal retaliates and deystroys Iran.  Other countries attacks Isreal again, Isreal attacks them.  These people aren't dumb.  They know that if they attack someone, they'll have severe cosequences.  India and Pakistan haven't destroyed each other yet.   And besides, as soon as the Iranians get their nukes ready, the CIA will send in a team to assinate the Iranian leaders.  (That's if Isreal doesn't get to them first).

Because I think that they are perfectly aware that by the time the first bomb will reach the Iranian land,Israel will cease to exist...Iran has the capability to do this and both US and Israel are perfectly aware of this,otherwise they would have attacked Iran by now...And Israel never cared about world's opinion,so I doubt that they will start now caring about what others say...

First, Iran is building a nuclear reactor for electical power use only. It is israel that is insisting that they are building WMD in order to fool the stupid American people into invading their enemies.\n\n  Don't be fooled about Russia, they are helping Iran and had threatened that if Israel attacks Iran they will use their nuclear might against Iran and supply the Palistinians with weapons so they can finally fight back the terrorist state of Israel.\n\n    Israel is the only ones over there that have the greatest nuclear weapons. What makes these war mongers think that they are the only ones allowed to protect their country. If Iran wants WMD's I don't blame them!That is the only way they can keep the war mongering terrosit state of Israel at bay.\n\n  However, if Israel attacks Iran without provocation  ( not one of their fales flag operations where they do the damage and blame their intended target as usual) they ( Israel) will be facing a force they will wish they had not. Iran has the weapons necessary to decimater Israel and totally destroy them. If Israel makes attempts to use nuclear weapons then Russia has sworn to defend Iran with nuclear weapons and China will also join in.\n\n  If Israel attacks Iran, then the poor Palistinian people will recive much needed weaponry  to fight back against Israli  forces that have been murdering Palistinians  by the thousands in what amounts to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Then the Palistinians will finally be able to get revenge on these terroist who murder them dalily. And rightly so!\n\n  Israel is walking a thin line and any move by them will totally devastate Israel and rightly so. They are  boxing themselves in a corner and then there will be no escape for them as the world powers grow tired of this war mongering  and false flag terroist state. \n   \n   I hope they do attempt to attack Iran, then they will finally get what they have deserved for so long for so much killing they have done while western nations cover up the autrocities of this terroristic state every day. Then and only then when they are decimated will the world finally have peace, with the worlds war mongers gone! Praise GOD!\n\n  Their WMD will not help them as they are attacked from all sides. This may be the war that ends all wars before the Lord Jesus Christ  ( GOD in the flesh) comes back! Israel does not want anyone else to have WMD other than them in order that they control the entire region. Thats not going to happen.Israel will push for war after war until they finally get theirs, and I think its comming soon. They had better think twice about Iran because American troops are getting tired of fighting Israels wars for them. They may be surprised that they really don't have the American troops support. I will say my early good-byes to Israel in advance . And after that the world will have peace without these war mongers.

Iran has threatened that way for about 30 years and actually nothing has happened.\nThere are some facts that I give you about Iran and Israel, its on you to decide:\n1. Its a historical fact, Iranian King Koorosh after conquering Babylon rescued a group of Israelis that was prisoned there, his name is in Jews holy book(the last part I have heard from a Jew friend)\n2. Lots of famous Israel leaders born and grew up in Iran, want a sample? Netaniaho\n3. Jews live freely in Iran, no one do any harm to them, they are accepted as a god based religion and they are free to do they rituals and business, even send money to Israel if they want to, they can leave Iran and go Israel but they don't\n4. Iran and Israel haven't done anything against each other, maybe cursing is the worst act\n5. Although everyone think Iranian is Arabs Iranian are not arabs and they almost hate them specially because of what they have done when conquered Iran, so Iran and Israel have a common enemy\n6. Israel have done anti Iraq operations many times, Iraq was Iran enemy(they were in war for years)\n7. Iran Nuclear program was at progress for years, Israel could do an operation when Iran was really weak(After Iran-Iraq war exactly at the time they attack Iraq)\nMaybe they yell at each others but they totally love each other ;)\nMany hidden strings in Iraq and Middle east are in Iran hands, although Neo Conservatism theories which are at progress specially by UK urges that Israel needs peace and UK is the leader of Middle east politics from old times.\nSo decide yourself, these are the facts that I know.

This is one of the things that is such as problem. Israel and Iran and other countries primarily get their material from within their boarders so they dont have anyrestrictions, this is one of the reasons that the United States is so scared about theocracies such as Iran could do to us.

I would not call it a threat to its more like a promise.\nMaybe if Iran was to stop shouting its mouth of about the west they might get a little more respect.and Iran Attack Israel not if your soul depended on it.

I think he has no right to attack Iran because they want to use nuclear source.  If they did want  to have nuclear energy  and weapons their country should have the right to  defend themselves if it was ISRAEL that was doing this there would be no problem and they already have nuclear weapons at Iran.The weapons part  situation should be look over and watch put I believe that we should not have the right to  say you can not  have nuclear energy or weapons.To allow to defend themselves and they may be using it nuclear for power or energy that is what they are saying they are doing.The one thing that bothers me is that Israel can do these things and the other middle east country cannot that is not fair that is saying we can do it and you cannot.

Their hatred of Israel is greater then that of the United States.  I suppose they'd also state this because every one knows they already have missile systems that can reach Israel, but they don't have them that can reach the United States yet.  So its a double win for them; they attack our ally and the one they hate the most.

iran has publicly stated in a clear and loud message, that it will use nukes on israel as soon as it gets them. Thus iran has already declared war on israel. (actually it is technically at a state of war against israel) Thus israel has full right, and responsibility to take out any nuke capability that iran may have. Israel will win, just like it has won every war that the arabs/muslims have started

Because they want to destroy Israel and steal what Jews have built there over the past 150 years.

The history of Israel and Palestine goes back several thousand years but the reason "Iran hates Israel" is because the Israelis are seen by many in the Middle East as foreign agressors.  One hundred years ago, there was no Israel.  The British decided early in the twentieth century that there should be a Jewish state but the UN was actually the one to set it up.  The UN set up two states: Palestine and Israel.  With the help of Great Britain, Israel came into the region, forcibly removed thousands of Palestinian families and set up shop.  Palestinians were understandably upset and both sides began using terrorism against each other.  Eventually, Israel attacked and swallowed 70% of Palestine.  Many of the countries in the region are still licking their wounds from the six-day war and are still mad about what they see as Arab land being taken away by foreign agressors.

If Israel bombed Iran I really doubt that there are going to be many countries supporting Israel...maybe US,yes.But thinking what would be the consequences of this attack I'm wondering if even US would support Israel...An attack on Iran would really anger Russia and China,let's not talk about the Islamic countries...\nOf course I wouldn't support Israel in attacking another country.They have done enough damage to the Middle east and someone should stop them...

Israel will not tolerate the nuclear threat of Iran and must make a preemptive assault within 6 months. The US will enter the war when Iran and others retaliate.

I say that you are crazy.  Iran cannot have nukes, no if's, and's, or but's about it.  They have vowed to wipe Israel off the map, and a nuke would give them the means to do it, and permanently.  A weapon that deadly in the hands of insanity is just that- insanity.

Surely Iran won't start to attack,but if US or Israel attack Iran, Iran will answer them,and it's definite right to answer them,Iranian are peaceful people but they are very patriot, they can't stand attacking their country,but in this game many innocent people will lose their life, i hope Israel and US be more wise about this.
