Are you seriously claiming active nuclear reactors on the scale of Dimona are valid military targets? That is absolutely mental.

Do you really not understand what happens when you fire missiles at nuclear reactors?

No Apologies. PDJane Jul 2014 #1
Hamas just attempted to coat the holy land of 3 religions and home of millions with fallout. Kurska Jul 2014 #2
Oh, bullshit. PDJane Jul 2014 #5
Fighting for survival? They just tried to coat their own homes with nuclear fallout. Kurska Jul 2014 #6
You refuse to see the point. PDJane Jul 2014 #9
Wow, you're actually defending an attempt to kill hundreds of thousands of people. Kurska Jul 2014 #10
I am NOT defending it. I am trying to make you see, past your filters, PDJane Jul 2014 #11
This would be funny if it wasn't so sad Kurska Jul 2014 #12
Here's some balance azurnoir Jul 2014 #29
Actually Israel destroyed the reactor BEFORE it was fueled to avoid that situation. Fozzledick Jul 2014 #31
Israel did no know that, Iran did not attack the reactor because it believed it to be operational azurnoir Jul 2014 #33
Oh, I think Israeli intelligence knew what was happening Fozzledick Jul 2014 #35
Hey, look over there! Nothing to see here today! Nothing to see! n/t shira Jul 2014 #37
oh no there's lot's to see but can you answer-why does Israel locate it's reactor among civilians? azurnoir Jul 2014 #40
expected reply but still no answer about Dimona being in the middle of a civilian population azurnoir Jul 2014 #38
Actually it's in a desert and not a legitimate military target Fozzledick Jul 2014 #41
snip* Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #42
Israel has reportedly distributed potassium iodide to thousands of near by civilian residents azurnoir Jul 2014 #44
lol are you denying Israel has nuclear weapons? again nice try doesn't wash n/t azurnoir Jul 2014 #62
Where did you pull that nonsense out of? Fozzledick Jul 2014 #65
The Dimona as a nuclear reactor in a nation that has nuclear weapons is a legitimate military target azurnoir Jul 2014 #71
And here we go finally. Kurska Jul 2014 #73
no I pointed out that Dimona is a legitimate military target something apparently you agree with azurnoir Jul 2014 #75
"something apparently you agree with" Excuse me? Kurska Jul 2014 #78
are you saying Israel doesn't have the foresight for defenses against an attack on Dimona azurnoir Jul 2014 #81
Are you seriously saying that Israel taking precautions to prevent tragedy Kurska Jul 2014 #82
Legitimate target ? King_David Jul 2014 #133
In what civilization? Israel's who has threatened to blow up Iran's reactors n/t azurnoir Jul 2014 #134
You right this attempted mass murder suicide was legitimate ? King_David Jul 2014 #135
I already answered you n/t azurnoir Jul 2014 #136
Yes you did King_David Jul 2014 #137
I don't think you quite get it , do you? King_David Jul 2014 #58
oh no I do get it that's the problem :) azurnoir Jul 2014 #61
Oh boy condescending smiley faces about attempted mass murder n/t Kurska Jul 2014 #72
is Dimona really so poorly forified that Palestinian rockets could blow it up entirely azurnoir Jul 2014 #74
Let me explain it simply Kurska Jul 2014 #76
nothing about Dimonas fortifications and I never said that it was okay for Hamas to blow it up azurnoir Jul 2014 #79
I'm not playing word games with you. You called it a valid military target. Kurska Jul 2014 #80
I never said it isn't wrong for Hamas to attack Dimona as you falsley claim ETA azurnoir Jul 2014 #83
Explain to me what you meant by this then Kurska Jul 2014 #84
Nope it's a point in fact unlike Israel who seems to think attacking Irans reactors is just fine azurnoir Jul 2014 #85
What are one earth are you talking about? Kurska Jul 2014 #87
you failed to address what I pointed out Israel why? hmmmm azurnoir Jul 2014 #88
Maybe because that isn't what we are talking about? Kurska Jul 2014 #89
Then we're in agreement about Iran and Dimona :) azurnoir Jul 2014 #90
Except for, well you know Kurska Jul 2014 #91
well we both agree that blowing up nuclear reactors is a bad idea =right? azurnoir Jul 2014 #92
Apparently n/t Kurska Jul 2014 #93
So where a nuclear reactor that explodes King_David Jul 2014 #77
and Israels threats against Iran those are okay by you? azurnoir Jul 2014 #86
Again King_David Jul 2014 #94
well you're right about one thing - azurnoir Jul 2014 #97
Ha ha King_David Jul 2014 #99
Hamas did no soul searching King_David Jul 2014 #101
why does Israel choose to locate its reactor in a civilian population? azurnoir Jul 2014 #34
It is actually about as far from major population centers as you can get. Kurska Jul 2014 #53
Dimona's population is over 33,000 and why did Israel give it's residents potassium iodide? azurnoir Jul 2014 #57
This is idiotic, here is a population density map of Israel. Kurska Jul 2014 #60
It's still fucking insane and there is NO fucking rational explanation of why. cali Jul 2014 #111
Sounds a bit like the "Samson option", eh? Purveyor Jul 2014 #64
Lovely to see you join this thread Kurska Jul 2014 #70
they could work out a peaceful alternative samsingh Jul 2014 #52
Not one Israeli has been killed or injured by those rockets this time around. PDJane Jul 2014 #128
weren't missiles fired at Israel and three innocent hikers killed? samsingh Jul 2014 #130
Nice try. PDJane Jul 2014 #132
Tell us please what was Operation Opera? n/t azurnoir Jul 2014 #28
why does Israel locate its nuclear reactor in a populated area surrounded by a civilian population? azurnoir Jul 2014 #30
Are you seriously implying an active nuclear plant is a legitimate military target? Kurska Jul 2014 #50
why do Hamas fire rockets from schoolgrounds and mosques? backwoodsbob Jul 2014 #127
agreed samsingh Jul 2014 #51
+100 840high Jul 2014 #109
Is there any doubt that the Israeli leaders want to kill as many Palestinians as possible? Chemisse Jul 2014 #3
Hamas just tried to nuke Israel. Kurska Jul 2014 #4
There's been something like five hundred airstrikes. WatermelonRat Jul 2014 #18
There is no logic involved here in these absurd proclamations. shira Jul 2014 #22
many doubts - the Israelie soldiers show restraint. samsingh Jul 2014 #54
This is not true. Where 840high Jul 2014 #110
The numbers speak for themselves. Chemisse Jul 2014 #113
So is Israel's response to enact it's version of the "Final Solution" upon Palestinians? Larkspur Jul 2014 #7
Hilarious. Kurska Jul 2014 #8
Could have, might have, wouldn't have....that's why Israel has defenses. PDJane Jul 2014 #13
Israel's job use their defense to prevent nuclear catastrophe. Kurska Jul 2014 #14
Used to be a serious offense on IP King_David Jul 2014 #17
Didn't compare Jews to Nazis Larkspur Jul 2014 #46
You managed to do it again King_David Jul 2014 #49
Only the Israel-is-always-right mob would agree with you. Larkspur Jul 2014 #121
And the Democratic Party reps and policies King_David Jul 2014 #122
Unfortunately true. It was a Democratic President that did nothing against Israel after the Larkspur Jul 2014 #123
You probably posting on the wrong forum King_David Jul 2014 #124

Yea a Jewish Sorcerer King_David Jul 2014 #129
Centuries of science swept away by theocrats, coming to your city soon! freshwest Jul 2014 #138
And I've heard some people describe their rockets as little firecrackers. King_David Jul 2014 #15
Well, Kurska, there's no defense obviously... Scootaloo Jul 2014 #16
Israel has no right to try to stop Hamas rockets from hitting the Dimona reactors, correct? shira Jul 2014 #23
Read the article; Israel DID stop the rockets Scootaloo Jul 2014 #24
Iron Dome isn't perfect. So presumably, Israel should allow Hamas to keep aiming…. shira Jul 2014 #26
Didn't Israel's operation begin early yesterday morning? Scootaloo Jul 2014 #47
Yeah, so? If Israel does nothing vs. Hamas, more missiles will circumvent Iron Dome shira Jul 2014 #48
I explained to... Dave, I think? The other day. Might have been you. Scootaloo Jul 2014 #55
So Israelis should just live with the rockets. Quite.the.immoral.stance. n/t shira Jul 2014 #56
Well, they're living with them right now, same as before Scootaloo Jul 2014 #59
International Law, Geneva conventions etc. disagree with you. shira Jul 2014 #63
Why not address what I actually said instead of what you wish I had said? Scootaloo Jul 2014 #66
Israel was living with a few rockets here and there, until mid June…. shira Jul 2014 #67
And this assault has stopped that? Scootaloo Jul 2014 #68
Doing nothing but allowing Hamas to fire at will while your civilians…. shira Jul 2014 #100
for gods sake stop using logic Scoot ... Israeli Jul 2014 #112
Gentlemen! You can't logic here, this is the I/P group! N/T Scootaloo Jul 2014 #125
Hamas has a right to do this. Their actions R justified. Just ask…. shira Jul 2014 #19
Not in the real world. King_David Jul 2014 #20
I think Hamas just blundered big time aiming for Dimona. shira Jul 2014 #21
Jewish Media is all over this. MSM is silent so far with this narrative killer. shira Jul 2014 #25
Think the UN will condemn Hamas for this? Get real. n/t shira Jul 2014 #27
In January 2012, Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #32
Marvelous idea for Israel to unilaterally withdraw from the W.Bank & allow Hamas…. shira Jul 2014 #36
I did not expect you to get much from the history. n/t Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #39
It's okay, I didn't expect you to acknowledge…. shira Jul 2014 #43
Your loss, ignore the history. n/t Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #45
On the other hand, a strike on Iran's nuclear reactors is just fine shaayecanaan Jul 2014 #69
Thank you for the reminder. I need to hook up shira's opinions on how that would go down Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #95
Pro assassinations, too. You can't make this stuff up: Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #96
wow azurnoir Jul 2014 #98
These crazy maniacs admitted they tried and failed King_David Jul 2014 #102
perhaps you need to read the subthread your replying to azurnoir Jul 2014 #115
No need King_David Jul 2014 #116
The subthread concerned cyberterrorism and assassinations committed against Iran azurnoir Jul 2014 #117
Yes because that's very topical at the moment King_David Jul 2014 #118
carry on with the off subject proclamations however broadbrushing and inaccurate they may be azurnoir Jul 2014 #119
Great refute King_David Jul 2014 #120
You guys are too much. You just quoted me stating that Stuxnet was a good thing….. shira Jul 2014 #103
Your words, shira..they're all there. Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #104
I'll gladly tell you whether I'm against assassinations once you tell me…. shira Jul 2014 #105
Your added caveat is amusing. Your own words are already posted all over DU about Iran, no worries. Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #106
Aww. For such a humanitarian and lover of peace, you have such a difficult time…. shira Jul 2014 #107
Answering a question with a question is your stock in trade here. Jefferson23 Jul 2014 #108
