Israel are going to start WWIII

They won't hate them more. They'll hate them. They hated Israel before October 7th. Bombing Gaza, Lebanon or Iran is not going to change that. Showering Iran, Hamas, Palestine etc with love, hugs, kisses and aid is not going to change that either. People in the West don't seem to understand this. This isn't a Hollywood movie.

I know what Assad did. I don't see how that justifies Israel funding Al qaeda rebranded. Volchista was telling us how uniquely evil these people are, but seemingly we can overlook it all if there is a strategic interest involved. This is why Israeli right wing governments have courted Islamists over the years in order to keep the vision of the Likud Charter alive.

they are going to get decked. Finally.

In what way?

Please be specific?

Have key economic infrastructure taken out.

That's the big one. Kill a few thousand Irgc , no one cares, they are martyrs.

Have the lights off for the next 6 months. Mullahs will be hanging from every tree in Iran.

The upcoming will be a message to back down, look after your own society for a change, spend your money on your own people not building tunnels in Gaza and Lebanon, arming psych friends.

If Iran leave it at that and be neighbourly it'll be the end of it. They will not though because they are religious fanatics following their God's orders to kill, kill, kill.

The 2nd response will end the regime, most of the Iranian people don't hate Israel, don't hate the west, dint hate women etc.

That isn't going to happen though is it?

You are just fantasizing. It's weird.

Remedial nonsense.

Did cutting Russia off stop their illegal invasion of Ukraine?

It didn't really diminish Assad though. He is still in power and getting friendly with Turkey again. What Israels support did do was help the Jihadists to grow more powerful in Syria

So now you are resorting to downplaying that they supported Jihadists time and again. You on the one hand denounce Jihadists as irreconcilable and incompatible with western values that should be crushed

While at the same time you are excusing Israel working with them when it's suits Israel's interests. With this in mind you will probably excuse Likud the next time it funds islamists in Gaza because sure countries have a right to do whatever is in their interests.

He is diminished in that he rules a smaller portion, has an uneasy control in other parts and a good but of that is ruins.

This notion that nobody can ever do anything against a hateful evil regime because it will only cause the subjects of that regime to support them even more is frankly bizarre. Posters on here love comparing Israel to the Nazis, yet they also claim that any attempt to remove Nazis from power by, you know, invading Germany and even carpet bomboing its cities would only have led to lots of mini Nazis as a result.

Lucky nobody did that then, and Europe just waited for the Germans to get it out of their system and turn into nice guys.

With this in mind, if Iran struck a meeting of senior political and military figures in Tel Aviv which resulted in mass Israeli civilians casualties, would Iran be condemned as being reckless or would Israel be condemned for having a meeting in a building that was in a civilian area. Would those civilians be considered in effect to be human shields?

Israel had been hitting Palestine for the last 45 years. So by your logic, they got decked on Oct 7th??

If Iran leave it at that and be neighbourly it'll be the end of it. They will not though because they are religious fanatics following their God's orders to kill, kill, kill.

I'm not sure it's even about whether the government really believe that or not. I read a detailed analysis by an Iranian exile some time ago (forget who now so I wouldn't know where to look for it, sorry) about the conflict over head scarves after the death of Mahsa Amini.

They said it wasn't about maintaining some extremist religious perfectionism, as it seemed to be to us in the west, but that in fact, much like the Kingdom of Saud, the Iranian regime's only claim to legitimacy is its imposition of religion on the population.

This means it cannot enable any degree of "secularism" without completely losing that legitimacy, leading to the collapse of the whole regime.

Sounds like some actually liked the US being a world policeman as a way of escaping making difficult decisions ourselves

Which is hilarious as US gets blamed alot for their old “interventionist” foreign policies in the region

He is still in power, that's all that counts. His rule looks safe for now. I think what you are reluctant to admit is that he is the better option than possibly having Al Qaeda off shoots in control of Damascus. Some of the most powerful rebel factions in Syria were Jihadists

With this in mind, I am not condoning Assad's rule, but if you are applying your right wing pragmatism consistently you will admit he is the better option than the Jihadist Al nusra( Al Qaeda rebranded) in power.

He is only in power because US stopped intervening and Europe and UN has no teeth, nor the new rising superpower in China cares much for western liberal notions (they have no qualms genociding the Muslims within their borders)

So Assad escaped the fate of Saddam and Gaddafi
