This is why I’m saying Iran needs to assemble the nukes and test it now. SL decision fatwa against nukes is not logical
In coded words, this Chief Rabbi is suggesting that Israel takes out the Iranian nukes and looking at the comments, they are supportive of the idea. Israel is likely to use at least tactical nukes even if the conflict would be conventional.
After Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to the US Congress and Hezbollah's attack on Israel, Rabbi Warren Goldstein said Israel “must act now and act alone” to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Goldstein was adamant the US and the West could not be relied upon to protect Israel from Iran's nuclear weapons.
“History has shown that no other nation will come to our rescue. We learned this from bitter experience when boats of German Jewish refugees were turned back by America and Britain, and when the Allied forces refused to bomb the railroads to Auschwitz.”
Goldstein graphically spelt out the threat a nuclear Iran poses - a prospect “so horrifying it is almost impossible to say out loud.”
“A nuclear Iran places the seven million Jews of Israel in mortal danger. If there's one thing that October 7 has taught us, it’s that the implacable hatred of the proponents of violent Jihad knows no bounds. For them, no evil is too horrific to perpetrate. October 7 was an inkling of what Iran would do from the moment it possesses nuclear weapons.”
And while the prospect of mutually assured destruction acted as a nuclear deterrent during the Cold War, Goldstein believes no such deterrence exists in the case of Iran.
“As the great political analyst Charles Krauthammer once observed, mutually assured destruction for Jihadists who glorify death and martyrdom is an incentive, not a deterrent.”
Compounding the threat, he also cited New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen’s argument in her new book, “Nuclear War”, that missile defense systems – even extremely advanced and sophisticated ones like Israel’s Iron Dome – have limited capacity to repel a nuclear attack.

And a Comment:
"his is known situation. Israel for years did nothing militarily. Exists reason, most likely it's opposition from America. America actually opposed attack on Iraqi center. Saddam actually restored nuclear reactors and was on the way to bomb. America directly warned Israel to stay away. Israel was saved by Kuwait crises. Such operations need support if not direct involvement of USA. America, as usual, has technology. With all criticism of Left etc technological abilities of America are enormous.
BTW I read that in 1980th India was ready to give airports to Israel to bomb Pakistani nuclear centers. America learned about the idea and informed Pakistan. Israel was warned to do nothing. Pakistan was ally in Afghan war against USSR. Unfortunately, in this life the right is the strongest."
