If they used nukes they would risk getting nuked themselves
Of course, which is why they're safe from any state directed existential attack. The concept of MAD (mutually assured destruction) still applies here. If they find themselves in a true existential crisis that would free them to use nukes, any would be attacker would know this.
And Why does it need to be a "coordinated" attack? How about being concerned with an attack from just jordan? Anyway they signed a treaty with jorda. in 94' after which israel has offered huge portions of the west bank back....does that count for anything? And how do you ensure cessation of terror attacks if you leave the west bank?
You're proving my point further. Israel and Jordan are on friendly terms, furthermore, Israel can destroy the Jordanian military within a matter of days. A hypothetical attack from Jordan is not a credible threat. That's like the US making policy decisions on the basis of possible attack from Mexico.
And how do you ensure cessation of terror attacks if you leave the west bank?
If Israel withdraws from the West Bank (true withdrawal, not sanctions and blockades) then terror attacks will cease to become a realistic threat. Simply because the Palestinians powers that be would have too much to lose at that point. Least of which is their credibility.
And supposing they do launch attacks, Israel still has the power to EASILY re-occupy, annex, whatever they want with the West Bank. The "threat of terror" is a total smokescreen for the occupation, they want the land.
i will concede that for some its just a land grab, i will concede that new settlements should stop, but to blame israel for everything ignores the history and current problems in my view.
I didn't say Israel deserves all the blame. They do deserve the lion's share, because they are stealing another people's land today (not in 1948, 67, or 73). Historical context only takes you so far,.. how long can Israel rehash regional aggression toward's them as an excuse for this blatant moral wrong?
Furthermore, the Palestinians suffer every day from their mistakes. And not just the leaders, regular citizens bear the brunt of their national mistakes. Israelis on the other hand are not suffering from their mistakes,...because the US has been protecting them. Its time for a re-balance which includes UN resolutions, sanctions, etc. Maybe if the regular folks in Tel Aviv & Haifa can start feeling the International anger from the occupation Israel will come to their senses and end the occupation.
