U.S. Can't Defend Israel Against a Nuclear Attack
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - If Iran decides to attack Israel with a nuclear weapon - or even not with a nuclear weapon - it is completely reasonable to assume that it will be a surprise attack. There is no chance that the U.S. will be able to defend us against such an attack, especially a nuclear attack, unless the Americans deploy tens of thousands of soldiers with missile batteries and radars on Israeli territory, who will be on constant alert. However, such a deployment will violate the principle reiterated by all Israeli prime ministers and defense ministers, starting from David Ben-Gurion in the 1960s, who said that "Israel will defend itself on its own, and I don't want even one American soldier to shed blood for our sake."
