.......If Prime Minister Netanyahu and his fellow hawks truly believed that Iranian nuclear weapons would mean the extinction of the Jewish state, then their wish to attack Iran would be defensible, but they don’t. That’s just for public consumption. What’s actually at stake here is not the survival of Israel, just the preservation of the huge strategic advantage Israel enjoys as the sole nuclear weapons state in the Middle East.
Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister, let the cat out of the bag in a recent interview with Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman for the New York Times Magazine. “From our point of view, a nuclear state offers an entirely different kind of protection to its proxies. Imagine if we enter another military confrontation with Hezbollah, (and a) nuclear Iran announces that an attack on Hezbollah is tantamount to an attack on Iran. We would not necessarily give up on it, but it would definitely restrict our range of operations.”.....
This is what I have been saying all along.
Israels main objective is to eliminate Iranian influence in the region.
Either by attacking Iran, or having an Israeli friendly regime change in Iran.
The want to be the dominant force in the region, and they want to do as they please with the Palestinians.
Israel should not be allowed to attack Iran. They themselves are a rogue apartheid state that is a clear and present danger to the region and the whole world.
