Lying publicly about likely Israeli casualties is shameless and irresponsible. Several hundred are mentioned. Expect many thousands, considerable destruction, and Israeli nuclear facilities attacked.
Dimona is one of many. They're prime targets in response to attacking comparable Iranian sites. Israel and surrounding areas will become irradiated. Risking it should be denounced.
Levy's article opposes war but misses the point. He asks who decides who lives or dies? Strikes against Israeli nuclear sites affect all Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, and others. Targeting Iranian facilities harms millions more.
Radiation contamination touches everyone. Nuclear wars aren't winnable. They're lose-lose writ large.
Levy said thousands of Israelis may be killed and wounded. At issue are millions throughout the region and multiples more in Iran. They weren't mentioned in his article.
Perhaps he forgot they're as human as Israelis. He's wise enough to know. Hopefully a follow-up article will correct his oversight. Maybe it'll denounce all wars and encourage Israelis to oppose them.
All are "avoidable." One war begets others. Risking nuclear fallout from attacking Iran is madness. Top priority is avoiding it.
