Regional Thermo-nuclear War: Is it so bad for Israel?

The question is not what Israel would look like but Iran after being hit by about 50 Israeli nukes and who knows how many from the USA.

Even if Iran launches enough bombs to wipe out every soul living above ground in Israel, Israel will still be able to retaliate 5 to 10 times over. As well any strike on Israel like this will also wipe out all the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and kill a lot more from fallout in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.

Your question can be restructured " What would the Region look like after an Israeli nuclear attack on Iranian facilities and other Arab lands ?

This restructured question is more significant, because Israel has proven stockpile of about 50 nuclear warheads. According to the latest UN nuclear watchdog's report, Iran is incapable of building a thermo nuclear weapon inspite of all the hype and hysteria and ground facts. It may take another 12 to 18 months for Iran to build a nuclear warhead. Besides, the Iranian's are not that naive and crazy that as soon as they get a nuke they would blow it over Israel without taking into consideration the colossal fallout of Israeli reprisal/reaction with Uncle Sam's full support.

But it only takes 2 or 3 nuclear hits and thats the end of Israel. It depends on how much nuclear capability Iran will have/has already?? Its an interesting theory. If Israel is only partially wiped out and can rebuild I agree with the last paragraph of the question.

Iran and its Arab allies? Most Arab nations don't have good relations with Iran. Iranians do not have the ability to create a nuclear weapon. They are building those reactors to be more energy efficient nation.

@Ivan you make a good point. If they nuke Israel they would also kill the Palestinians and eventually the radiation would sicken the Syrians and Egyptians. Iran is not interested in using WMDS, they arent unable to use nukes because of they technology isnt there. But their is another Middle Eastern nation called Israel which has alot of Nuclear warheads. The only actual nuclear power in the Middle East.

israel can not survive such an attack ......no more save heaven......The first thing the survivals will do is to LEAVE......

Why there should be a nuclear war in the Middle East .......If Iran posses nuclear weapon.....then KSA,UAE,Iraq,Turkey,Syria ,Algeria,Lybia and Egypt will seek nuclear weapons .......to a chieve the BALANCE OF NUCLEAR TERROR....with Iran ....and israel.....then talks of peace will be serious.....to end the israeli Palestinians conflict....and perhaps to look for a FREE Middle East from nuclear weapons.....

.

Irans atom weapons wont be that powerful. at most they would only get about 50'000 people in each strike and majority of the people will hide underground.

Whats more they will probably end up killing more Arabs then anything else.

To wipe out Israel totally they would need thermonukes and also wiping out millions of Pal people in the West bank along with Israel

Disagree.

There is no guarantee Iran will do an air burst. The entire area could be toxic for decades.

Of all the questions I have read on Yahoo Answers this is easily the craziest.

The article is Panglossian in its pro-Israeli optimism.

It assumes everything Israeli will work like clockwork; that the Iranians are backward and incompetent; and that the entire Western world is and would remain unconditionally pro-Israeli in the face of Israeli aggression and ethnic cleansing.

None of these reflects reality.

Iran has a large electrical generation system. Not sure why Zionist goofs are acting like that is an issue.

Israel has the huge advantage of being able to suck as much money out of the USA as it needs to survive.

Israel does have a shaky economy now and Europeans are already boycotting some Israeli products so if the whole Apartheid regime of Israel was radiated Europeans would be much less likely to buy nuclear tomatoes from hell land.

I think even a moderate nuclear strike Tel Aviv would end Israel forever.

I would not want Israel to be wiped off the map that way. I don't want innocent little kids or brainwashed adults to die at all let along that way.

Orderly dismantlement of Israel is preferable.

To put the record straight, Iran would never attack Israel first.

But when Israel uses it's illegal nuclear bombs first it will be devastating for every body in the region, and the end of Israel at the same time.
