WATCH THIS: Think Israel Wont Bomb Iran... Think Again Some have been quick to underestimate Israel, and their willingness to take action against their potentially nuclear-armed enemy Iran. But Israel has defended itself before, and it could very likely do it again. In 1981, Israel defied Washington when they launched a clandestine air strike against Saddam Husseins nuclear program in Iraq. That action managed to destroy a threat that had existed for years in just hours. And in 2007, Israel launched Operation Orchard without the consent of America, destroying the nascent Syrian nuclear program which was being established with the help of North Korea. President Obama should not underestimate Israel. Do you agree?
