Umfrage: 74 % der Israelis lehnen einen Gegenschlag gegen den Iran ab, wenn dieser Sicherheitsallianzen schadet

1. I mean I wasn’t polled, but in my neighborhood in Tel Aviv everyone I talked to today was just like “please, no”. Combination of not wanting to have to go to back-to-back shutdowns again, more reservists getting called up, and preferring it be anyone but Bibi to take us further into this war.

2. Unless Netanyahu wants war for personal reasons it doesn’t make any sense to attack Iran directly anyway. The only result of that will be more suffering, mostly for Iran but enough going round for Israel as well. Nobody wins.

3. Iran knew very well that this strike would cause little to no damage against Israel. And it was upon the least serious reactions they could have done.

   Strikes on Israeli embassies for example would have been quite more serious and would have resulted in far more damage and would have been basically the way to go if Iran would want to take this further. Looking at how Israel even prepared to this in calling back personal of it’s embassies, not even they expected this little of a reaction.

   Meaning Iran was and is, for very good reasons, not interested in **direct** exchange of hostilities.

   To all the downvoters: Please tell me how else Iran could have reacted **and still** made their population believe that they are the hard and strong leadership, without risking all out war against a far superior enemy?

4. Given they are already embroiled in one war, yeah, no surprise.

5. Yep.. I’m an Israeli and anyone who thinks a country can survive with no allies is delusional. Especially a tiny one like ours. Very tired of the war already, also.

6. Me too.

   Better not harm security alliances then.

7. Israelis being smart enough to see a war with Iran is just something that BiBi wants in order to avoid holding elections and going to jail.

8. Isn’t it already a known fact that the current government doesn’t give two shits about what the majority of their people think?

9. He’s gonna do it anyway.

10. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what the Israeli people think. Bibi isn’t going to just roll over on this, and the West will be forced to publicly condemn but privately abide.

11. I think what they did was badass.

    Iran was proven impotent. Barely even the buzzing of flies. Not worth a response. Not worth mentioning going forward.

    That’s power. That’s badass.

    They should just leave it. It’s the strong move.

12. How many bots are in here?

13. What’s the polling on, say, bombing the Iranian consulate in UAE or Jordan?

14. Not sure BB cares

15. I don’t think Netanyahu cares what 74% of his population thinks.

16. Counterstrike?? Israel literally already Striked 1st on April 1st? Do we not remember that just happened?

17. Besides, there are better and more discrete ways to retaliate. The virus you sent the Iranian centrifuges was brilliant. Need to do more of that.

18. Send Bibi and his Son (who’s chilling in Florida, while his peers are getting killed) himself into Iran since he cares so much

19. The Iranian attack was a failure. Just leave it be, the embarrassment is enough of a deterrent for them to not do it again.

    Iran’s involvement could end right now, that’s a massive strategic win for Israel. However, a retaliatory strike will only escalate the situation and bring them back in.

20. Problem is we have madmen at the wheel

21. There will be a time to go all out. But first finish with Hamas, then target Hezbollah, and finally take on Iran. You can’t just take on a country at that distance which requires you to have at least 3 fronts. It’s not sustainable and will result in way too many casualties for both sides.

22. Bibi don’t care

23. Breaking news: citizens of a country don’t want to attack a country more powerful than their own if it leaves them with no allies. This is, of course, very surprising and weird

24. You know that episode of Family Guy where Stewie owes Brian a punch in the face, and Brian knows it’s coming, but doesn’t know when. Or was it the other way around?

    The fear of getting that punch at anytime drives him mad, to a point where he just wants to get hit to get it over with, but it doesn’t happen. That’s what IRGC needs to feel for a few months.

25. He’ll still do it anyway.

26. And the other 26% insist that they and their family cannot serve in the IDF due to religious reasons.

27. A counterstrike? Guess they’ll just have to settle in on Dust 2

28. So, we can safely assume a counterstrike will happen then? Can we at least prevent it from becoming a *global offensive*?

29. They already embarrassed Iran by destroying just about everything they sent they should just leave it there. I think Netanyahu only wants to continue the conflict just so he can postpone the elections which he will most likely lose considering so many people are against him.

30. I agree.

    They don’t really need to do a counterstrike, what they actually did sends a very terrifying message.

    They shot down 99% of the incoming projectiles with extremely minimal damage.

    They showed the world, “we could hit you back HARD if we have to.”
