It seems like a Jewish right wing are determined to start a Middle East war and WWIII . Israel is the equivalent of a Fascist state and it’s time to call them out as such .
It is naive to suggest that surrounding countries hate Israel because of Palestine. Most of the surrounding countries don't give a damn about Palestine, and Iran certainty isn't firing ballistic missiles at Israel in solidarity with Palestine.
Israel's foundation in 1948 sparked immediate hatred. The whole point of the Arab coalition invasion was to destroy Israel before a Jewish nation could take hold, it was nothing whatsoever to do with displaced people within Palestine.
People can hate Israel today for all sorts of absolutely valid reasons, but that they were hated historically in that region, and still hated today by the likes of Iran, is nothing to do with Palestine and everything to do with Israel simply existing.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, their historic goal was always the destruction of Israel. Most other countries gave that up a long time ago and have reasonable relations with Israel now.
60-40 by the sound of it
Theres a difference between zionist Israel and secular Israel. We've had Zionist Israel since the knessnet voted for Israel to be the Jewish homeland.
That alienated all secular and non Jewish Israelis.
what are the chances US will hit Iran this time too?
I would say wanting to see the state of Israel actually cease to exist as opposed to just changing would be highly antisemitic.
Do you also believe countries like Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran should completely cease to exist?
Or do you just think that maybe they need better systems of Government that pursue better policies?
Because singling out Israel as the sole country in the world that should stop existing would be unavoidably antisemitic.
what does Israel expect ? …. They have killed thousands of Palestinians over the years …is it any wonder Every nation in the Middle East hates them - stealing land off the natives is never right !
You know that's shyte.
Christian England starved Christian Irish but it was always about theft.
I can’t remember which news site I read it on yesterday but they mentioned in an all out war Iran would block the strait of hormuz(20/30miles at its narrowest point) and since the Russian invasion of Ukraine most of Europes Lng comes from Qatar which passes through that area so it would have massive implications for the EU. Think of the nuisance the Houthi’s have caused even with limited means, being bombed etc imagine the havoc Iran could cause in comparison.
The US and Europe have been pathetic throughout this entire time , pussyfooting around Israel. Now it’s lead to where we are, if there’s a massive energy crisis this winter Ursula the idiot will be scrambling and issuing statements of condemnation without ever acknowledging she played a part in how it got to this stage.
It was the Arabs who were slave traders, I don’t think the Persians were ever involved in the slave trade.
Sunni and Shia Islam are quite different btw.
So if you want to see end of a contentious state that needs carry out generational genocide of innocent to exist you're anti semetic? You are watering down that phrase to meaningless..... no problem with people that believe in the old testament btw. I do have a problem with a state that needs carrys out genocide to exist.
Sky News from UN Conference -
''Iran, Israel pushing the region to the edge of catastrophe''. Hard to disagree with that in fairness.
It's usually like that alright. I couldn't care to check their specifics but I would guess it's because it's often elite units who do the serious fighting, and they would be full of full-timers who progress through the ranks faster, compared to the shorter term reserve units.
Indeed. Iran has said that any retaliation from Israel would be met with an even stronger response.
You really do talk a huge amount of meaningless nonsense.
the middle east is in for a tough ride so .. and by extension the rest of the energy consuming world so too
Neither is going to happen. You have an inaccurate view of history. Islam has a very sordid past, you should educate yourself. Start with their slave trade.
Why not give America and Australia back to natives while we are at it? Yes none Muslims were taxed but I guess it was better at the time when choice was to be taxed and be alive or be persecuted or killed.
And Iran will strike back again. Rinse and repeat.
israel's point is that they will respond anywhere in the middle east and forcefully with a severe cost for any attacker - this has been repeated by them several times this week alone
israel certainly will respond to iran's 200 missiles
Israel has killed 3 people in an air strike on Damascus, Syria. They are spreading the war it seems. Maybe the Yanks are pushing them?
Food, the crusaders were turning up without their own provisions, including peasant armies that were more a drain than anything. It was unsustainable for Constantinople. It never recovered and was invaded by Muslims and put to the sword later. So Ankara Turkeys capital was ethnically Greek Christian, are the Turks going to give that back or the half of Cyprus they stole.
No surprise, a ground invasion will mean the IDF incur massive losses.
Hezbollah are not Hamas and Lebanon is not Gaza.
They'd be reduced to using duplo toy phones without China.
Sky News Arabia saying at least 14 elite Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon clashes.
America is a net exporter, they can supply themselves and Israel.
Then why did the crusaders sack Christian Constantinople?
Every action will have a consequence.
China basically buy up the bulk of Iran's crude oil.
Israel and China are key trading partners.
Israel's economy is tanking.
The reality is Israel do not need to respond in any meaningful way. They have made their point.
Not much concern that the historical heartland of Armenia was recently occupied with the locals turfed out.
So where will Israel get the fuel for their jets, tanks, jeeps etc?
Iran's nuke sites could be sage for now..
Many Israeli officials point to Iran's oil facilities as a likely target, but some say targeted assassinations and taking out Iran's air defense systems are also possibilities.
