Israel's war drums over Iran drown out common sense

The argument that an Israel attack will simply delay Iran's production of an A Bomb for a few years at best is oxymoronic. So what! Israel can and should attack it again and again, and as often as it has to . Your common sense is not "good" sense. You spend most of your time arguing that Iran is intransigent in the face of threats.Then you suggest diplomacy? When all else fails clubs are trump.

Does that sound like Israel is trying to stifle the West Bank’s economy?
