My personal opinion. Israel should forgo world opinion and release the hounds. In the end days all nations are going to stand against Israel anyways. They have the firepower the and the skill to throttle the middle east but instead they have tried to be peaceful with negotiations and treaties never going on the offensive unless it was for defensive purposes. This strategy has not worked so when talk fails "speak softly and carry a big stick".

Poorly informed means not accepting Shaarona's lies.
“Sheik” Ahmad Bahr, a pretty important Hamas “official,” delivered a sermon earlier this month on Al-Aqsa TV, the terrorist group’s television agitprop network:“Oh, Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters,” said the oppressed Palestinian. The alleged entity known as “Allah” should also destroy “the Americans and their supporters,” he croaked.
“Oh, Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.”
Somebody call Juan Cole for a linguistic analysis of how this isn’t really a call for the extermination of two entire peoples.
The robed terrorist also said the following:“If the enemy sets foot on a single square inch of Islamic land, Jihad becomes an individual duty incumbent upon every Muslim, male or female,” Bahr also said. “A woman doesn’t need permission from her husband, nor a servant his master’s permission,” in order to engage in jihad. This, Bahr said, is “in order to annihilate those Jews.”It seems that, for the Palestinians, gender equity has only been reached in the area of mass murder. This, the Middle Eastern studies academics might say, must surely be called “progress.”

I am barely literate on Scofield. Could you expand on your post?
My understanding being that you imply that Jews and Jerusalem are actually the anti-Christ and that is why in revelations a new Jerusalem will descend from the heavens ???
Educate me on your meaning because I do have to claim ignorance on this one.

Israel probably would not use nuclear weapons unless they were attacked with them, but they could very effectively use thermobaric weapons to bomb miliitary targets and infrastructure in Iran, bringing the whole country into a state of paralysis. It is probably true that Iran's nuclear complexes are scattered throughout the country, in hardened bunkers built at great depths... therefore it would be ineffective and inefficient to try to bomb these in place-- but -- if Israel destroys the ability of Iran to wage war or even function as a country, that's all they really need to do. The world would whine about all the civilian casualties and bring the matter up before the UN. In a month the whole thing would be little more than a memory, lost in the overall chaos of the deepening planet-wide economic misery.
Thermobaric weapons are not new, but they are very powerful and effective: "all of the destruction; none of the radiation". The bigger ones even produce a "cool-looking" mushroom cloud, for those who like that kind of thing....

Onward, to 2020!
No Trinnity... Most Israelis are not concerned about Iran ... and guys like Meir Dagan, Martin Van Creveld, Bibi's senior military and intel know that Iran is not a threat to Israel..
I think you will see a new direction in US foreign policy during the next four years.. and I expect that to be positive for Israel as well..
