Well I don't know if that meant that "Israelis can't take on Iran". They can do a lot of damage... Like they did with Lebanon. 1 million bombs would pretty much do the same damage as a nuclear bomb. Yeah yeah, no fall out, but we aren't thinking that far ahead.
This way Israelis know they shouldn't start a war at all. I don't see how you all are convinced that Iran is firing a nuke the day it makes a warhead for it's shahab. No convincing argument other than one statement "we'll wipe Israel off the map" which can be written off to chest thumping and can also mean there will be a Palestine in its place due to Iranian support.
Israelis should have a strong, very strong second strike capability.
I think your argument should be "I want Iran's Assured Destruction not Mutually Assured Destruction". If you don't want any destruction at all, get BOTH those volatile, war prone nations away from the nukes. Not one of them.
