Who in the region has the capacity to hit back? And who will risk escalation with Israel’s nuclear deterrent? No state actor. Plenty of room to criticize the morality of Israel’s actions. But in terms of practicality? Not so much. |
They know this and it scares the hell out of them. |
That's when they'll use the nuke(s). |
You know I made a reasonable attempt to communicate with you based on truth and reason and then you responded with your ignorant and juvenile retort. You are not doing your side any favors. In fact you are making enemies. Good job. |
Dumb shit sounds smart to dim people. |
The Hamas political leadership in Doha has always been an easy target for Israel. They used to avoid it. Instead preferring much more difficult operations like killing the Hamas leader when he was in Tehran. The real question is why now? Combined with telling everyone in Gaza City to leave now, I genuinely fear that Israel has decided to go to the dark side. Like they intend to take Gaza and kill and expel 2 million people. And that would be the end of Israel. It becomes a pariah state then - not just among progressives. But everywhere. Israel is a country that’s drunk on their success. Religious fanatics are dangerous everywhere, and Israelis are so full of it now that they seem capable of the worst in humanity. And that’s a terrible shame. Israel was built on so much hope, but they are squandered everything now. And they definitely can’t count on US support. 48, 67, and 73 are a very long time ago now. The Isreal of 2025 is very different. No one under 60 thinks Israel is anything special. And no American besides some boomers cares much about Israel today. Dropping support for Israel wouldn’t be an issue for Democrats and Republicans alike in today’s elections. Israel is being very stupid today. But the orthodox extremists don’t care. They are religious fanatics and don’t care about the real world. Like the Palestinians, Israelis are making some profoundly stupid long term choices. The US will drop support for Israel in a heartbeat once the geriatrics like Biden and Trump are gone. Even Republicans are appalled with the mass killing that Israelis are committing. Choices matter. Palestinians made their choices. Israelis made theirs. They are both violent idiots. And the US should stay out of it completely. |
I meant millions not billions. |
Tell me you’ve never traveled or talked to a Gulf Arab. Or probably read a book. |
Umm...they could start funding terrorists again. |
| Baffling. |
Yes. Those same synagogues. |
Oh trust me I get plenty of that. I’m German lol. |
This. They can run, but they cannot hide. Bin Laden found that out, as did Sinwar. Some people, however, never learn - nobody will mourn their elimination, given their dedication to terror in the first instance, and the pivoting to propping up the terror regime and trying to help it survive once its impotence became apparent. |
Yup. Enough of partial and ineffective measures, stopping short to placate those who bemoan the impact on the initial aggressors. The terrorists are being neutralized with finality, like it or not. Sad that such action is necessary, but history has shown that anything less simply results in more terror later on. |
So you admit Israel has nuclears and they are the only non signee of the non profileration treaty? Israel is a threat to the global community and should be a global pariah on that merit alone. WHY are they not a signer of the treaty? Why do they not allow inspections and deny possession of nuclear weapons? Iran is a signee of the treaty. Russia is. Israel is not. Until they get called out by the United States, they won’t ever feel they need to change |
