    This represents a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of the geopolitics of the Middle East.

    Israel is the country currently committing genocide against the Palestinians, attacking and trying to gain new territory in Syria, breaking ceasefire agreements, carrying out targeted murders of innocent children, journalists, and frankly anyone they feel like killing, and in general just acting like a country of vicious amoral killers.

    And in case you’re worried about my tone or personal experience, I am a Jewish descendant of Holocaust survivors, with family who are Israeli, and with whom I will never speak again. Israel is the bad actor here, and unfortunately it’s not just the government and the army, but most of the general population that supports the genocide.

    Nukes are not the problem, nor are they the solution or even an effective deterrent. And while Israel’s neighbors are by no means good global citizens, it’s Israel and its murderous, racist, and genocidal rage that are the problem.

      Lol they’ve been effective so far. Tehran knows what will happen if it processes fissile material into a weapon. You have misunderstood.

      What if your calculous is wrong, your media sources tainted by anti American propaganda, and there’s not actually a genocide occuring? What if is there are sad but nonetheless valid explanations for the massive civilian death tolls?

      Plenty of people including virtually the entire intelligence and diplomatic corps of the western world, along with virtually everyone in Washington DC, disagrees with you.

        Imagine bootlicking so hard you think it’s a bad thing to be on the other side of the exact same ghouls who lied us into the Iraq War. How can any of us live with ourselves knowing that Dick Cheney thinks we’re bad people?

        Can you think of one that doesn’t make Israel look like they’re doing Holocaust 2.0 in order to clear the Gaza strip for Israeli settlers? They’ve committed several war crimes, including maiming and starving children.
