The thread and question is not about the crimes or whatever else as to Israel, it asks will it's leadership start world war 3.

I think not, there have also been crimes against Israel too, for me Israel exists in the middle east,that was what came about and is a fact.
It has its right to be a Nation and be there, it is surrounded by Nations that hate it so it has to be able to face and deal with anything that threatens its existence and security.
However even with its Nuclear weapons, I myself don't believe that Israel would escalate world tensions to the point of risking a major global war.

I believe the USA and the UK should also support Israel in the main because both have close ties to Israel and likewise vice versa.

I don't intentionally ignore anything by the way, however by my answering the question that 'no', I don't believe Israel's leadership would start world war 3,I went on to say why I think that way, not particularly condemning any Nation in the process or Israel itself for actions against other Nations and peoples,just simply pointing out Israel is in a difficult area.
