    Gotta love the human generosity symbolized by weaponry.

    Actually, that does make sense. Arguably, by nuking Israel, Iran would be generous towards the Palestinians. Never mind that they'll get a full share of fallout.

    You forget - Iran has specifically said that they are perfectly ok nuking the Palestinians. They're expendable.

    Both the Ayatollah Assaholla and Iranian President Ahmafuckingnutjob have made statements to the effect that "the jews" should worry because if Israel is nuked, even if an equal number of Palestinians have to die, there are still plenty of Muslims elsewhere in the world (like Iran) ready to wipe out whatever survives the nuclear strike.
