Israel are going to start WWIII

I don't know if some posters just don't get it or just don't care to acknowledge it that this doctrine opens Pandora box( oh behave)

For instance other bad actors can now cite Israel as example to commit any egregious acts under the rubric of self defense. With this in mind Vladimir would have us believe what he is doing in Ukraine is pre emptive self defense!

Wait until Israel discovers they can use the precedent Putin has set by saying “Give us 25% of your country or we nuke everyone”

The funny part is the far left bristle at the US being the “world policeman” but without them to keep everyone inline we endup with these vacuums and catastrophies in Ukraine and now Middle East where the UN and Europe can only look on and shrug

Just look higher up at some of them praying that US is kicked out of Middle Eastern bases, because that will totally not boomerang when Iran decides to irradiate the Saudi oil fields, which funnily enough US don’t need anymore but Europe, India and China very much do

Putin is bluffing. He likes power. He is not going to do something that is likely to bring about his end. As for Israel, Likud doesn't need to threaten to use Nukes to get what they want, they have the backing of a superpower to continue their greater Israel project without fear of sanction.

3340 Palestinians in Administrative Detention. Kidnapped. How many do Hamas have??

Great publicity, saving someone that was captured and sold by Isis that was created by US. I killed 40k and injured 100k but I saved one. I am the good guy they are bad. Happy to see the girl saved but plastering around like a good thing while hands full of blood. What did they do to prevent 10s of thousands of children being killed with their tons of bombs.

No. It is more than a right though, it is an obligation for the State to defend it's people.

Which is one of the reasons they are so despised among the modern trendy left.

Iran just launched the largest ballistic missile strike in history. You might think good. Israel shouldn't exist in the first place so any action they do is automatically wrong but they just won't have the decency to die, another fundamental problem.

Strasdaz asked above does Israel think it is superior to it's neighbours. Militarily they are. Economically they are to most of them but as a society they are far superior, as a Palestinian i knew in london said its full of jewish fags and whores, problem is that Israel is full of Jews, fags and whores as he put it and they all know what the neighbouring countries do to people like them.

All the neighbours kill gays, women are less than shi7 under a shoe and Jews are kept on a leash . I think that shouldn't be like that but.. Another fundamental point of disagreement.

Sorry ai must have miss the part where I said it was OK to kill children.

Killing children is not OK, just so we are clear.

Hiding weapons in schools/hospitals and using civilians ad a human shield is also not OK, just so we are clear.

It is possible to condemn both as being horrid actions taken out by people who have lost sense of just what they are doing to each other.

Just so we are clear.

Anyone who has spent any time in the 3 ex-USSR Baltic countries recently will be aware of how clearly they see that.

Don't mention the slave markets, don't mention the honour killings, don't mention the child brides, don't mention the killing of LGBT people, don't mention the killing of adulterers, don't mention a society where they spend all their money on weapons and most people do not have electricity .

The list of don't mentions about places in the resistance and the region is very long.

When WWIII starts will Ireland be neutral? I can't imagine the EU standing by if Israel came under an existential threat.

Who let thousands of Jihadi fighters out of jail at the start of the Syrian civil war.

Bashar Al Assad, the man who they wanted to kill, strategically it was a master stroke by him and is probably the reason he survives.

War makes strange bedfellows and sides use each others for strategic reasons.

People speak of colonial mindsets, Assad is the biggest colonial throwback in the middle east outside of the Hashemite king to the South.

The Arab Socialist party. Socialism in the middle east is a product of rich kids going to western universities in the 50s and 60s.

One of the sparks that set off the revolution against him was his attempt to criminalise honour killings a couple of years before it. The reaction from most of the country was so strident that he had to back down, in a part of the world where backing down is an invite to further attack it was a weakness he never recovered from. Yet he was right to try to ban it.

Countries can lob rockets at each other but prior to Oct 7th and Iran's goons in Gaza attacking there was peace*, prior to the 8th there was peace in the north.

It's kill or be killed there and as the Jews say , the Arabs can lose again and again but Israel will only lose once.

* People don't have to like it before that or can say but what about Thutmoses IV campaign there.

Self defense is all well and good but in the region that sailed a long time ago. In all it's neighbours imperialism is at the very core of their culture, religion, society and identity, in a way no European can understand. The continuity of that mindset is thousands of years old. Maybe if Italy was still the Roman empire till the modern era it would.

There certainly was not peace in Gaza prior to oct 7th.

But Iran has the same right of self defense as Israel claim against Hamas and Hezbollah.

If Israel didn't attack Iranian soil, Iran wouldn't have lobbed 200 missiles to them.

Israel make Russia look like a reasonable bunch.

The size of the Bombs Israel does be dropping on comminities in Gaza or Lebanon are monster bombs that destroy multiple buildings not to mention killing dozens if not hundreds of men , women & Children.

Israel the Big BULLY with its BILLION DOLLAR Arms killing the locals who are hungry from Israel blockades.
