bluff ra man na sa israel oi.. tuo man ka.. first strike gud tawon..
the hebrews never won against the persians...
but they have won against Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and whole bunch of Arab countries (backed by USSR), who had numerical superiority over them in 4 wars. The IDF is hardly a pushover. But if it did start a war with Iran, though I'm sure with Israel's intelligence and military it will accomplish its objectives, it would be seen as unjustified by a lot of people.
My point is not that Israel should exist or not. The Partition gave a majority of the land (56% of Palestine) to the Jews (which legally owned 7% prior to the partition)--It is understandable why the Arabs have this resentment. You couple that with the 'use of force' by the Israelis to evict and displace the Palestinian Arabs...the occupation of Golan Heights and West Bank ain't helping either.
What I'm pointing out is that it has other options to settle its neighbors, not just war. Not every Arab nations is hellbent on destroying Israel, look at Jordan and Egypt. It's not impossible for Israel to sue for peace with Iran.

at this point in time, Israel, without the USA, is no match against Iran in a front war...
