So either the nuclear payload magically gets inside the underground facility, or the other half of the explosion is going to be above ground? I’m not seeing the ideal Physics work out here.

The world felt guilty about the holocaust after WWII. This guilt led to the formation of a jewish homeland, Israel. We were like, sure, whatever, just don’t bring up that holocaust thing.

I’m sure at the tim teh arabs were like, whosajiggawhat? But we didn’t care because they are just a bunch of camel jockies, who gives a fuck about them.

Then we ran ote of oil and the arabs found a shitload of it.

Now their like, suck it trebek and we’re like, god DAMN it!

The only reason I can think of is because of the large populous of Jewish voters in the north east.

Note that I’m not saying we shouldn’t support Israel, I’m just curious why there’s always been so much support for it historically.

Also, I agree that America should not directly deal with foreign governments or regimes like this because the support of the entire international community is critical here. We can’t look like we’re the only country dealing with a very controversial regime.

Also, I think the fact that the Iranian president has essentially promised to wipe Isreal off the face of the world could be considered grounds for a preemptive strike (at least by Isreal). Whether anyone likes it or not, the US is committed to supporting Isreal - good, bad, or ugly.
