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 .
given the blowback leading to Russia and China moving closer together , is there a risk of all the Islamic countries seeing past their differences? lol
Stop the greater Israel project might be a good start by Renouncing the Likud Charter. Secondly by abiding by international law and accepting the recent decision regarding the West Bank and taking steps to end the occupation.
If they did these things a lot of the criticism of Israel would become invalid . Until they take such steps they will rightly be considered a pariah state just like Russia.
Hard to see where else their current strategy could possibly lead. They've destroyed any chance of meaningful peace for decades with the way they've barbarically slaughtered so many civilians and children with complete disregard for international law, recognised borders, the sovereignty of other nations or any sort of acceptable norms of humanity. Short of a full dismantling by the international community like Nazi Germany underwent, which is never gonna happen, it's hard to see how they can be rehabilitated. Israel has made it abundantly clear that they are an existential threat to every man woman and child in the middle east and there will always be people who will be forced to defend themselves from that.
Next they want to give them a months notice to **** off for good.
who says its a right? its just inevitable given the circumstances
Is there another country in the world though that's in the same situation as Israel, completely surrounded by enemies who'd love to see it's destruction?
I know you've things like Taiwan/China etc but I don't think anything is as quite acute as Israel's situation. It's fairly unique so I'm not sure you can really compare it to 'other countries' when it comes to self defence.
back to the 'self defence' nonsense. Israel must be the only country in the world with that 'right'
Mass murdering people doesn't tend to lend itself to peace.
Quite the opposite.
Use the history of the region as example if it helps.
its just a matter of survival , if your enemy has 100k rockets now but with the prospect of having a million in 10 years time it makes sense to mow the lawn now
Israel doesn't seem particularly interested in living in 'peace' with its neighbours though. It seems quite content to be the top military and economic power in the region and asserting its authority over everyone else. A bit of a colonial / superiority complex going on? It doesn't appear to view any other state in the region as its equal and most certainly not as being superior to it).
She should stick to helping kidnappers, most of Israel's neighbours are delighted Hamas are gone, hate the Palestinians, hate Hezbollah and are excited about Iran being clipped.
No doubt they don't like that Israel is a there or Jews but they hate the above to a fanatical degree.
How eager the neighbours are to normalise relations is significant
"Confound your mutterings Priest".
Is that a line from the IT crowd?
Mary Robinson made the point this morning that it seems as if Israel is planning on being at war with its neighbours forever i.e. that in 50 years time it will still be dropping bombs on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria (presumably while still playing the "victim" card).
That's not how it works.
There is a reason Biden has came out and said absolutely no to targeting of Iran's reactors.
Personally I don't even think Bibi and his goons are that thick, but they have proved they are fairly thick and are getting thicker so God knows.
still if there are big events happening in real time what do you want to have peak at?
@SeanW Sure, there's no equivalency.
@SeanW
Sure, there's no equivalency.
I agree completely.
twitter is probably the worst of all. When you cannot find real time information anymore, like pre musk, it is useless. Who wants to read opinions of people who are so sad in life they have to pay for the blue tick to get people to see/engage with their tweets.
I expect they know exactly how close Iran are to producing a nuke and they will intervene if it is getting too close. No need to nuke, just kill everyone that has any involvement in such a project plus bombing important sites.
The Iranian army are poorly trained and poorly equipped, they are more intended for crowd control at home
The revolutionary guard are well trained, religious fanatics and well equipped.
Their job is to take on the Iranian army or people if the regime is threatened.
No one will conquer Iran but it would be easy to leave it a bankrupt shell for a generation.
Im fairly confident in saying whatver the situation it would indeed be worse under the US, you dont want any government with its thumb on the scales, Musk is the opposite surely?, ran as it was it would have been a corner office for the security establishment. most social media allows you to create your own silo but the power is controlling what is "disinformation"
if only Jared kushner was still in charge. This would all have been resolved.
Iran have been months/weeks/minutes away from acquiring a nuclear weapon since the late 70s...wish I could find the montage on YouTube with Isreal and the US claiming this over the years
You must be evil yourself if you enjoy Israel killing thousands of people every month ….shame on you and the butchers of Israel
They can't prevent it, short of invading and occupying Iran and even then Iran could be weeks if not shorter from producing something viable.
Unless you are suggesting the US and Israel would nuke Iran?
Then that would be WW3.
True, I'm sure they would like to control it. I find it fair enough. I have no interest in watching the israeli genocide of the Palestine people, so those videos don't show up. For videos I 'like' , similar topics appear. Seems the Chinese have a balanced enough app to me. I would imagine the Americans would turn it into a far worse/dangerous version of what it is now. Similar what musk has done to Twitter
Can't see US and Israel allowing that.
The point is. If Iran go nuclear the dynamics and support changes.
It would be another power shift in the middle east.
Anyone that was left in doubt that the US and the UK are just In fact Israeli poodles....
And FIFA / UEFA

However Israel attack Iran, the US will know in advance and give the go ahead, even if they deny knowledge afterwards.
People are giving Israel a hard time here, forgetting that Israel have the support of the west. A few politicians in Europe mouthing off does not mean that Israel are not being supported as much as they need to do what they are doing.
