Israel vs West on Attacking Iran

Submitted by Anatoly Tsaliovich (United States), Feb 4, 2012 at 18:34

The differences between Israel and other world powers (including the USA and Western Europe) with regard to attacking Iran, are not unlike the ones between the Chicken involvement and the Pig commitment in the old fable. While the "Western chicken" is just "involved" (as painful as that involvement could be), for Israel Iran's nuclear threat presents an existential threat.

That about sums this issue up in the most explicit way, whatever the hypocrites of any position and stature would say.
