Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

But Israel attacked Iran out of the blue on Friday - that's where the major breach of international law took place (not that international law even exists any longer mind you, the two rogue states of the US and Israel decided to end it forever…..we're now in a free for all).

So any Middle Eastern country is free to start bombing Tel Aviv this evening if they 'feel' Israel poses a threat to them, correct?

Nonsense. Revisionist historical nonsense.

Easy to say when you don't understand it.

Higher economic and societal status was based on the religious differences.

Higher economic and societal status was (largely) based on the historical plantations and takeovers etc. But that is not what the Troubles were about.

If you were in any way correct, then poor working class Protestants and small farmer Protestants would all have joined the PIRA. They did not.

Which is why religion was a tool used to sow the distrust and eventual hatred

You simply don't understand the history of how it evolved to become violent conflict. It started as civil rights, those in power could see the writing on the wall that would come with having equality. They would lose power and influence.

Do you really think Israel or US cares about women in Iran? Do you think women are happy in Syria, Iraq and Libya that were "liberated"? How about women in Saudi Arabia? Up until recently they weren't even allowed to drive. Maybe Saudi Arabia should be next for liberation.

Agreed. Maybe Saudi Arabia should be next. It is difficult to choose which of them is worse for women - Afghanistan under the Taliban, Iran under the Ayatollahs, Saudi under the Sauds, Gaza under Hamas or one other. Maybe you would pick liberating Gaza from Hamas next.

It started as civil rights, broadly supported, but when the men of evil in the PIRA turned it into a sectarian war, the broad support and any chance of progress was lost. But that is for another thread.

Where did I say western sponsored regime change is all about womens rights??

Well I'm sure glad that Israel are helping to stop that brand of Islamic extremism from spreading to Europe by decapitating and incinerating children in Gaza. I mean its best to stop it at source right.

The US and the UK have thoroughly made a complete **** up of the Middle East. They overthrew a democratically elected PM in '53 and paved the way for the Islamic Republic all cause they wanted their oil. Benjamin Milejkowski has been calling for regime change there for 40 years. Have they had one successful regime for the people who live there as opposed to the powers that be?

Reminds me of the meme, if you ever want to feel useless, just remember it took the USA 4 presidents, thousands of lives, trillions of dollars and 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban…

I see Katz has warned The Ayatollah that he could share the same fate as Saddam did for opposing Israel. Is he implying the Iraq War was really for Israel? We know that was all based on lies. You would think some posters who believed those lies should at the very least have some skepticism this time around but instead they are happy to believe a proven habitual liar in Bibi. The very same man who was happy to pedal the WMD guff about Iraq being a imminent threat to Israel and the world.

The whole thing is nuts though. Looks like Netanyahu is pulling Trump's strings and telling him what to do. Relations between the US and Iran were okay last week and it seemed like the nuclear talks were going quite well.

Show me where I said I support those things.

Israel is committing atrocities in Gaza.

The Iranian regime is also committing atrocities.

However, if the Iranian regime didn't encircle and threaten Israel with well funded and trained terrorist groups, then Israel wouldn't be committing atrocities… because those terrorist groups wouldn't be hiding amoung innocent civilians, nor would Israel feel like their back is up against the wall.

It is a very ugly, complex situation, one which we here in a safe country can not envision... it is so far removed from our daily experience of what life is like. The leaders of one of the major powers in the region calls for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people, and constantly provokes Israel.

This was Bibis plan all along, and he has played Trump like everyone else does.

Bad cop and mad cop

Places where the terrorist groups funded and trained by the Iranian regime reside.

If the Arabs stopped attacking Israel, Israel wouldn't retaliate. If Israel stopped retaliationg, there would be no Israel.

Again, those terrorist groups use the populations of those countries as human shields, so they can weaponise the human catastrophe. Remember how Hamas suddenly found their uniforms during the hostage exchange. Yeah, so they could distinguish themselves from the everyday Palestinian, but that would lose them their most crucial weapon against Israel, appeal to emotional outrage.
