Israel bombing Iran would be the worst possible thing ever, no doubt about it. Israel, unlike America, actually has people who are critical of Right-Wing Israeli policy, so i dont think this will happen.
I would be ok with Iran being a nuclear state if its people were able to vote on the use of those nuclear arms, but they are not. If the religious leaders in Iran decide nuclear weapons are the way to go, the Iranian people cant appeal to the popular consensus to stop it because votes dont mean anything in a theocracy. Much as i dislike right wing Israeli politics and i dislike the idea of a Jewish state, theyre being threatened with annihilation, its something we've seen in the 20th century, and it worries me.
