If iran strikes first (as far as i understand all of your experts keep changing their guesses on what iran has, when they have it and where it is.....Hence for all we know they have or will have next week a bomb (the history of "authorities being publicly surprised by those who have the bombs is very high, if you did some research you would have known this)
why would israel strike back? an iranian attack would destroy Tel Aviv and pretty much render the country so badly wounded, that perhaps the iranians will let hizballa, syrian egypt, and the Palestinians finish off the country, keeping the armys hands pretty full.
what should israel bomb? tehran?

They are not the same thing...Iran has no capability to devastate Israel.....Israel has such a capability and a facility to kill Iranians and destroy nuclear facilities NOW...Israel is likely to use this capability in the next few months.
I though you said you can't predict the future?
...this "next few months prediction..which one of your authorities gave it to you (i know you didn't think it by yourself....)...spill whats the name(s)?
did you miss the part where israel is talking about destroying just the nuclear facilities whereas iran wants to destroy the whole country? Do you see no difference?
more interesting: what if the iranian missiles are blown up en route to israel....and israel and the US publishes it-would you believe it? and then can israel attack?

as far as your morality goes:
..Israel is about to attack Iran. Such an attack is illegal and immoral.
your version of morality, the one that would let your own children die first before your eyes, if it mean risking someone else's life, means you clearly live on a different planet. That kind of morality for jews, that actually saw their own children die, torn away from them making impossible choices of which of their own children will live and which won't (sophies choice) doesn't exist with us....that was immoral.....your kind of morality you might be able to sell to a few aging hippies living in the street, but not to us. Our relatives actually had to live it....and they taught us not to take threats lightly as they did and that too was immoral.
Its you who have the immoral viewpoint, the one that says, "you can threaten me all you like and I will do nothing, and only when you actually attack me, and only if you don't succeed, can i fight back. if you do succeed, and I'm dead, at least i chose the more "moral" route....and you let the immoral one, do it to someone else and someone else and someone else...
basically the reason your viewpoint is immoral, is that you are willing to accommodate people/societies/ that threaten others....which is why we have the hitlers, the pot pols, the stalins, the nassars, khommenis, the talibans etc (to generalize broadly)...and they kill millions upon millions upon millions and its your morality that just sits and lets them
the bottom line here, is that iran has been threatening to destroy israel and is attempting to produce nuclear bombs...in my book, thats also immoral.
