Will you sign your kid up for war? |
You’re aware that Israel didn’t exist at the time of the King David Hotel bombing, right? Oops. |
What you fail to mention is that the government of Israel DID in fact officially accept the partition. Palestinian leadership and Arab states did not. |
Iran doesn’t have the capacity to come after my sons now in a preemptive war, and certainly my sons dying in an Israeli war doesn’t prevent Iranian terrorism. The Iranian terrorists who will strike in the US are already here. Let me be clear. I am a political moderate. I have actually been largely okay with the concept of Israel defending itself after 10/7. I don’t believe Hamas propaganda, and I have little respect for the UN as a force of good. But I would rather let Israel be wiped off the map entirely than have American boys die to defend it. Israel has received billions from the US. If it can’t manage to defend itself with that money, that is Israel’s problem. |
One, you missed the whole "Before its inception really. Have to remember King David hotel and all that." Two, that's the sort of legalism that has gotten your people into so much trouble time and time again. |
The real question is:
"Is this the beginning of WWIII?" |
Midwestern Lutherans? I wasn’t aware that we had a reputation for legalism at all, much less one that’s gotten us in repeated trouble. Handbell choir politics and lutefisk debates are our issues. |
No. |
Those altruistic Scandinavians with no conflict of interest in the matter at all, “we swear!”, but such internal drive to persist over years now in these threads with distortions, false claims, and whataboutism … to defend their peaceful brethren from the Ukraine and Poland, uh, I mean Israel, who only want to be left alone in their promised land! |
It’s our Progressive roots—did Bob LaFollette limit his interests to the price of soybeans and margarine tariffs? Fascinating that you believe that everyone who disagrees with you is Jewish, though. Strange bird. |
If Trump drags us into this war then his din Barton should be sent. He of 6'7" and the maximum height is 6'8", so they can't claim that he is too tall. FDR's sons fought in WWII, Ike's son was in WWII, Johnson's two sons in law fought in Viet Nam and Trump's youngest son can fight in a war tru.p wanted a d dragged us into! If Melania doesn't like it then she can accompany him as his bat mom. |
Interesting that you jumped to an insinuation of “anti-semitism”, but some cannot control their true impulses, alas. I said conflict of interest. I’ll surely stand by that. Unequivocally. Bottom line: you are one of 5-6 boorish clowns that have been distracting from the conversation here for some time now: 1. Garden-variety racist; 2. Islamophobic misanthrope with fugazi 9/11 patriotism fever; 3. Jewish; 4. Married or otherwise connected with the Jewish community; 5. Paid or unpaid Troll - also, corrupted Members of Congress and political elite fit in here; 6. Hasbara goon squad. In any event, the fact that ANYONE at this point cannot at least blast Israel into oblivion with condemnation over what Israel has done (regardless of what others have done) is stone cold evidence that the person is very obviously inhuman or in one of those 6 groups. |
Ok. Is this supposed to be some kind of critique of Israel, or just random news? |
Once Iran is dealt with, Hamas will collapse for lack of external support. A good thing. |
John Mearsheimer: ‘Neither Iran🇮🇷 or the United States🇺🇸 want to fight each other. It’s the Israelis who have been trying to pull the Iranians and the Americans into a fight.’
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: ‘Netanyahu’s dream in life is a war between the US and Iran.’ Col. Douglas Macgregor: ‘Netanyahu will drag Trump into the abyss because he wants this war with Iran come hell or high water.’ Will Netanyahu get his wish and get the US to fight another one of many wars on Israel's behalf? |
