Israel are going to start WWIII

My view is it sounds like a conspiracy theory

It is not a theory, it is reality

Sorry, did I touch a nerve? Thoughts and prayers.

The audacity is the guy posting videos of the “Amsterdam Pogrom” that were attacks on non Jews in the UK. Now saying using bombs on civilians is not nice. Thsts audacity!

Completely false equivalence as you know. The US absolutely demolished the considerably powerful Iraqi army in 1991, a much weaker version of it again in 2003, but also struggled with insurgency against non-state forces, not to mention Afghanistan.

Would you also rate the US military as poor?

Israel hasn't launched a full scale ground invasion of Lebanon. It's also suffered less casulties since the start than Russia has every single day for almost three full years. Hardly the hallmarks of a failed full-out offensive to "drive to Beruit".

Russia lost dozens of IFVs and upper hundreds if not 1,000+ in one single day yesterday trying to attack positions in Kursk. That is what a failed offensive with that exact intent looks like.

Israel may not be dealing with Hezbollah as effectively as it would like "on the ground", and a great many people have always claimed that Israel is pursuing the wrong strategy and cannot win this way which is fair enough. The US couldn't win this way in Vietnam, or Afghanistan. It is a valid point.

But to write off the IDF as useless, poor, based on that is pretty silly. There's a reason Israel won multiple wars based on superior leadership, training and sometimes, but not always, technology and why most Arab states accepted that they were never going to militarily defeat Israel and gave up.

The only state level military that presents a threat to Israel is Iran. The only state level military that presents a threat to Iran realistically is Israel. But there will never be a ground war between the two countries so it comes down to long-range.

Israel has an incomparably better airforce, long-range weapon ability to strike conventional military targets, and vastly superior air defenses. Iran has a negligble air force and poor air defense network even if we accept the sketchy claims that US intelligence, satellite images and Israel are lying about destroying their last few batteries recently.

Iran has invested heavily in missiles because it literally knows it cannot remotely compete with Israel in the air, so it needs ballistic missiles and local militias as a deterrent. It's the same reason North Korea has invested heavily in rockets as well, they cannot compete with South Korea on conventional military capability.

Scrapping all that and claiming that Israel has a weak, ineffective army and Iran has some secret world-class air defence capability that experts aren't aware of but people on Boards.ie are, is just strange and it's not the real world.

I mean I don't support Russia, but I'm also not stupid enough to try and pretend that the Russian army in the overall scheme of things doesn't hold a huge advantage over the Ukrainian army.

Acknowledging facts isn't some vocal show of support but some people seem to think it is. It's perfectly OK to think that Israel is a rogue terrorist state while also accepting that it's incomparably more powerful than all its regional neighbours as well as Iran.

Just like it's OK to think that Russia is a criminal state that just so happens to have a much more powerful army than the independent state it's trying to invade and conquer.

Israel shares the West's values alright. Just none of the good ones.

Mod Edit: Warned for trolling

A small minority ? have you send the protests and riots ? london every weekend and during the week, France on very regular baisis , the large scale unrest in collages in the states and even in dublin on a smaller scale .

and im not nor have i justified anything . but pretending that islam isnt a problem for Europe is just childlike leftism for the sake of appearance at the expense of Europeans

israel is a very large contributor to whatever problems of mass migration follow in Europe. By engaging in genocide, attacking and destabilising its neighbours and making life unbearable for Muslims in the middle east, they create the refugee flows to Europe. Not only do they create the push factor, but groups like IsrAID are waiting for the migrants on the beaches to create a pull factor too.

Being concerned about the problems created by mass migration, and then supporting israel in efforts to drive mass migration into Europe is contradictory.

Isn't that the poor victim who was filmed wanted to cross the road on his way back from Synagogue but the police prevented him from doing so?

Until later footage emerged of the same tool continually trying to walk against people marching for Palestinians for hours. And trying to provoke different police over and over again until he got a 5 second clip he could misrepresent. And it emerged there was no synagogue services on at that time in that area. And then one of his innocent buddies walking with him was identified as being Israeli special forces who had acted as a bodyguard for visiting high profile Israeli politicians.

israel is responsible for Georgians Albanians south americans ,north and sub Saharan Africans and Asians ? well i ll be !!!! those crafty hebrews lol , wait is this one of those new world order kinda theory's ?

im supporting no one

"The US absolutely demolished the considerably powerful Iraqi army in 1991"

I'm sorry, what?

1: That was a coalition of many countries.

2: The Iraqi army were not powerful, they surrendered en masse as coalition troops approached them.

Re #2 Iraqi army certainly was marketed as “powerful” and got steamed rolled over, twice

They certainly had more manpower than whole coalition combined

From 1991

I suppose the US position on UN matters is not down directly to the Ambassador but the new appointment is not encouraging for these people suffering. God help them if she does have a say going by past speeches.
