Israel is in a tough spot. I am in awe of their restraint. Could you imagine what would happen if to say Canada, Cuba, or Mexico if they kept attacking the USA with sponsored terrorists activities? That is what Israel has to deal with.
The whole defense of Israel premise is filled with so many holes.
1. Look at the nations that border Israel. Just like how the United States shares its largest borders with Mexico and Canada, the nations that have the largest borders with Israel are Jordan and Egypt. Both of which have peace treaties with Israel and recognize its existence. Lebanon would most likely have peaceful co-existence with Israel if it weren't for Israel's constant provocations against Lebanon. And Syria is in no position to attack Israel. And to go even further beyond just Israel's borders, many major Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain co-operate with Israel despite their rhetoric and other major ones like Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait are never going to just straight up attack Israel. Israel's borders are not as hostile as Israel likes to make it out to be.
2. Supporters of Israel like to make this strawman argument that just because there should be peace with the Palestinians, that this absurdly means that we are calling for Israel to disarm itself. That is not the case. Every nation has the right to defend themselves and even though the current situation has Israel in a very secure position, it's not worth risking what could happen if Israel disarms. What we're calling for is not for Israel to stop defending itself, but to stop its warmongering campaigns against innocent civilians.
Also, what restraint are you talking about. Under the Netanyahu Cabinet, Israel has shown almost no restraint. Under PMs like Rabin, Sharon, etc. there's been restraint, but not Netanyahu. He's like an even worse Dubya.
Now they must live with the possibility of a nuclear attack once Iran gets them as they have threaten to use them against the nation.
Iran isn't going to launch a nuclear weapon against Israel. Iran may not be the best country in the world, but they're not psychotic the way the North Korean regime is. You also have to take into account that the biggest reasons why Iran started its nuclear program is because it feels that it is threatened by Israel, which has nuclear weapons, and the United States which is also a nuclear power that has interfered in the affairs of almost all of Iran's neighbors.
Asides from Nazi Germany, no country has developed nuclear weapons for their offensive capabilities, they develop them out of fear of nations that they are hostile to and hope the deterrence will keep them safe. This same logic applies to Iran.
If anything, Netanyahu's opposition to any deal with Iran is putting Israel in more danger of a nuclear armed Iran than no deal happening at all.
This ISIS group is a virus. Iran is a problem. Many Arab nations agree with Israel and wants Iran not to get Nukes.
Exactly, which is why a deal needs to happen. A deal that can placate Iran but at the same time ensuring that Iran does not get nuclear weapons. No deal will more than likely result in Iran getting a bomb within a year or two when negotiations collapse.
