[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is showing there is no refuge for the Hamas terrorists.  No more living peacefully high on the hog in Doha while you starve the people in Gaza.  Perhaps Qatar is thinking twice about harboring and financing these terrorists. [/quote]+1 This is an example of “You can run but you can’t hide.” Israel is serving up a big heaping helping of justice which has been a long time coming. [/quote]

Qatar was hosting negotiations. This is asking your enemy to meet you behind the school and then bombing the school.  [/quote]
Kind of smart in my opinion. [/quote]

Come at the king, you best not miss. War Crimes agreements aren't because combatants are nice. It's because they want to avoid an escalation that both sides regret. 
Israel operates under an assumption that no one ever hits bac with any substantial force. They might not always be right.

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.[/quote]

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

Pretty naive. Start thinking in terms of national interest and reality.

Through this lens:

1. Of course Israel has nukes.

2. Israel is only a threat to Palestinians and neighbor states. Unlike Russia, it’s not going to act against the US or European nations. It’s also not going to act against Saudi or Egypt without US consent, which is important to us.

3. Israel is a useful proxy for the US to act against Iran and Iranian proxy groups, which have acted against US personnel and interests in multiple occasions. We also obviously REALLY don’t want Iran to get nukes, and Israel is a useful tool to help prevent that outcome.

You can wish forth at the world was full of butterflies and balloons, but it will never be so.
