Israeli firm says costs too high on Iran strike

:thumbsdown: Keep your personal insults to yourself. If you cannot, then I suggest you to keep your hands off a submit button.

The AnandTech forums have long held a poor reputation due to the likes of your behaviour.

And yes, the Israeli economy is failing. The basis of its quite low GDP per capita and high cost of living are a clear demonstration of a economy that is unsustainable and of a populous that will not take much more of the path their governments have chose. The state propoganda of being the regional victim while committing costly aggression will not play favourably out much longer.

What's up with all the anti-semitism? Uncalled for.

You must be very proud that Iran will possess a bomb? With Iran possessing a bomb that means that the possibility is even greater that one morning you will wake up to no job, contaminated food supply...etc...why? Because Iran iether set of a nuke or a radical Muslim group managed to get Iran to give them the bomb...hmmmmm........OK peeps let us live with Iran having a nuke. After all the Palestinians are blameless.....

Like I said, Israel does not have the heart. If they did they would have done it by now. You have been talking about this for almost half a decade now. It goes to show who is right and who is wrong. If Israel had the balls to do a public attack instead of killing scientists and sabotaging Iran's nuclear industry they would have done so years ago. Keep dreaming, fool. You and I will probably be talking the same thing in 2 or 3 years, lol.

Like I said, Israel does not have the heart. -- no?? wanna bet?

If they did they would have done it by now. You have been talking about this for almost half a decade now. -- just not true. When the time is right they will act. So far if it was not for the United States they would have already acted!!!

It goes to show who is right and who is wrong. If Israel had the balls to do a public attack instead of killing scientists and sabotaging Iran's nuclear industry they would have done so years ago. ---really?? They have been known to act when the time is right!! Why not try to stop this by killing scientists and sabotaging Irans Nuke program? A lot less lives on both sides will be saved by doing the little things rather than an all out attack!! Your a fool if you think that they should have swooped in and demolished everything including civilians.....but thats OK!! We need a new village idiot!!

Keep dreaming, fool. You and I will probably be talking the same thing in 2 or 3 years, lol.-- keep dreaming......

Israel has always wanted the US to do its dirty work when it comes to Iran. And the US cares more about its own interests rather than Israel's, that is why they forbid an attack that could disrupt oil prices. So, the US is not on board in either case and Israel is too scared to go alone. Too scared. They don't have the heart. They know what would happen and they are scared shitless. That is why they want to do it in conjunction with other powers.

First time ever I hear Israel is being accused of cowardice. The accusations are always on the theme of aggressiveness and bloodlust, rape of neighbors, unwarranted violence and so on. It's good to hear Israel has restraint.

Now, by your expert opinion, what kind of possibly Iranian response is Israel afraid of?

Thanks, at least I can see the sarcasm in your tone, Nebor.

The absurb inanity of that previous post by SamurAchzar to label me an "anti-Semite Nazi", to be oblivious to Israel's GDP per capital being on par with Greece, and blatant ignorance of recent 250,000 thousand protesters marching in Israel against the unsustainable high cost of living....

Criticize the state of Israel it is all to common to by labelled an anti-Semite by a rabid lot. If that's to be the case, then I am in good company with plenty of other fellow "anti-Semite" Jews in Israel and abroad.

There are many. Iran arming its clients in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria with long-range missiles or authorizing them to use them. Iran firing its long range missiles towards Israel can do heavy damage. On the international front, an extremely angry West and China that is dependent on low oil prices would be a huge diplomatic, security, commercial, and, perhaps, existential threat to Israel. These nations may turn a blind eye to all sorts of security incursions by Israel's enemies into Israel proper. They may look the other way as Egypt looks the other way as weapons flow towards Israel's enemies.

Iran is clearly capable of making these nightmare scenarios a reality for Israel. The weak Arab states can't do much but watch with glee as their two mortal enemies battle each other and they reap all the rewards. They won't stop it because it's too much money involved for them. They know Iran won't touch them because of the US and because they have done nothing to the Iranians. But they also know that it is Israel that will bring the wrath of the world on its head should they start bombing a huge country like Iran and disrupting oil prices.

Look, boy, your antisemitic stance isn't working here. Israel's GDP PPP, per capita is ranked about 27th in the world, and climbing. Israel's economy performance during the recent recession has been better than nearly any other country. If you're looking to realize your Nazi dreams, boy, it won't happen by Israel failing economically. Certainly not when it just discovered enough natural gas to take care of its energy needs well into the second half of the century. Failing economy my ass.

I want to email this thread to your mother so she can be properly ashamed. PM her email address or I'll tell your Stormfront buddies you're arguing with Jews in forums owned by an Indian.

Bold talk by sammy, I will tell your mother on you.

But as a more serious threat to the Israeli economy, we must ask a few basic questions. (1) Its all well and fine to say Israel now has a decent economy, but when the USA now subsidizes Israel about $10,000 bucks per capita, what happen when Uncle Sucker decides
they are not getting their money's worth anymore? Especially when US cred in the mid-east is taking nose dive in the mid-east with US economic prices as a result soon to become apparent. Then Israel will be back to the same guns and butter question, as you can't have a good economy when you have to invest all your money in guns. A lesson Uncle Sammy is now also learning as all other nations out compete us in trade. (2) Then its all well and fine to say Israel is on the verge of energy independence due to discoveries of natural gas off shore. The problem is that most of that natural gas is not off shore from Israel when most of it belongs to Egypt, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and other regional nations. (3) But if Israel exploits its own off shore gas and helps other nations exploit theirs, a rising tide can lift all mid-east nations and create a peace dividend at the same time.
