Israel is concerned with Israeli lives, which are threatened by the current Iranian regime's support for Palestinian terror. Change the Iranian regime, have an opportunity for a more peaceful replacement, and for the Palestinians to lose their primary sponsors, reducing their capacity to murder Israelis, and consequently reducing the need for Israel to neutralize Palestinians trying to murder Israelis. See how that works? Fewer Palestinian terrorists, less Israeli retaliatory activity, fewer deaths all around. Continued Iranian sponsorship of Palestinian terror means more such terror, and more consequential Palestinian deaths. |
WTF. Are you crazy? Why is the USA's only choice is to comply with Israel and follow them into another trillion-dollar clusterfrack. Israel did not lose one Israeli life or spend one shekel on Israel's lies to get the USA in Iraq. I am sick and tired of dumb Americans believing we need to follow Israel regardless of the negative impact on America, far and wide. Ridiculous. |
100% |
Parse it anyway you want, but I stand by America first and not Israel first. You can join the IDF if you're so worried about Israel. You're probably one of those people who would fight for Israel and wear their uniform before wearing a US military uniform, anyway. |
Columbia just paid Trump millions of dollars because of student protests. I doubt Columbia would allow any protests on their campus for a long time, years and years. Free speech has been effectively chilled across the university campuses. It is what you wanted, right PP. |
Support for the current Iran regime is based on support for Iranian Islamist expansionist ambitions, which rely in large part on the otherwise feckless and impotent Palestinians as proxies to foment conflict with Israel. The fall of the Iranian regime might well mean the Palestinians will have to develop a functional civil society and economy for the first time in over 80 years, and that they'll have no sponsor for their terror activities. The civilized world would see that as a good thing; others bemoan the prospect. |
| What in the ChatGPT was that PP |
Columbia is not in Iran or in any country that funds Iran's government. What is there to protest at Columbia? |
DP. I have to say, agreed. This is a thread about *Iran* and the historic effort of its people to rid themselves of the brutal ayatollahs who have killed thousands of their young people and squashed every attempt to overthrow them for the last decade. |
I don’t know who the people are here on this site, who are saying the Ayatollahs are great and who won’t hear any criticism of that horrid regime, but on other channels those voices have turned out to be Palestinian Americans. And their hate directed toward the young people of Iran is astounding. |
+1. PP is delusional. |
Exactly. It's all about how the Palestinians will be able to keep up their 83-year reign of terror if they lose their primary sponsor. If Iran joins the ranks of more peaceful and pragmatic countries in the region, the pro-terror Palestinian agenda will effectively be toast; they'll have to learn to live in peace with their neighbor or continue their slide towards irrelevance. |
| It's too bad Trump and Kari Lake shut down Radio Liberty, which could have been beaming news and information into Iran right now. |
Yawn the terrorists are the Israelis. There is no debating that. Israel was a mistake. |
Their 83 year reign of terror will end once the 46 year Iranian IRGC comes to an end. What great thinking |
