let me clear some of the issues addressed here,

* the action in Baal-Bek that was mentioned here was by a small commando force, who made an effort to seize hizbulla leaders in that town. those forces are back in their bases by now. where were those hizbulla leaders hiding? in a HOSPITAL. for those who are wondering why so many civilians gets hurt in this war, there's a small hint for you.

* syria is highly isolated, and in a deep and ongoing economic crisis. its only arms are ancient soviet weapons, and israel can probably conquer that entire country faster than what may take the iranians to retaliate. the question is "what's the point?", coz in fact, there isn't one.

Isn't Israel the really dangerous country in all this...I mean they are the ones who do have a nuke so why is it OK for them to have a nuke but not OK for Iran to have it? I mean hasn't Israel had it for quite a few years to "defend" itself when there isn't really anything to defend against that is on any similar scale.

I know this might seem 'anti-Israel' and for some reason that is seen as really bad in America but I just have know idea what is going on.

israel owns nuclear powers for like 40 years now, and they were never used, (which means they are in capable and responsible hands in case you are worried.) israel is threatened time and time again by some of its neighbours with complete and utter destruction, so the parallelization you are making is totally baseless, it's not a similar-scale threat, simply because israel doesn't threat to wipe out any arab state.
yeah, it's very nice and post-modernistic to think that everyone deserves the right to be armed the same way, but in actual fact you don't want to face an extremist islamic regime having those capabilities, at least I don't. my survival is kinda important to me.
