The Current Status of the Conflict in Iraq

[Geoffrey S]

the argument presented to me was essentially Israel wont do airstrikes because the military of its enemies wont allow it. So the argument is, whether they could or could not. I've put forth examples of where Israel did infact act via air strikes without reprisal on the actual operation.

I havent seen an argument that contradicts this, or there ability to do so in the future.

All I am saying is that using Palestine, and later on also Lebanon, as an example of the inability of surrounding nations to intervene is entirely irrelevant. They haven't retaliated over those issues because they don't care either way - it says nothing at all about their (possible lack of) capability to do so.
