I was making a smarmy point, I admit. I am a HUGE fan of the US Constitution and its myriad descendants, but ours is not the only nation on earth that derives its structure from the common law, and Israel, like Canada (which was really my point), is definitely a democracy despite having no formal constitution - like our Mother country.I didn't say Basic Law is ideal.
But it's not like Israel is flying totally blind, either.
As you stated, NZ, Canada, UK, are flying similar.
Something like that. Unless one holds the "they have a face that deserves punching" rationale as it relates to launching attacks.OH, you mean why Iran is retaliating...
Both my Iranian and Jewish friends within my acquaintances are very concerned about these developments. They are not fans of either government.Something like that. Unless one holds the "they have a face that deserves punching" rationale as it relates to launching attacks.

First, it’s a legitimate military target.
Second, Iran’s ballistic missiles can’t target that precisely. They can hit a district within a city at the best of times.
The prime targets are all in Bibi's cabinet.Yes, but that's a plum target. Lucky or not, I'm sure Iran tossed on their way with that in mind.
And, look at this reporter? Broadcasting in front of the prime target in the country!
Well, it all started with the early appearance of the Israelites in Canaan's hill country during the late second millennium BCE...
If Iran wanted to “destroy Israel” why hasn’t it used its extensive arsenal of other WMDs at Tel Aviv? It easily could, after all.I need to remind myself that when it comes to Middle Eastern geopolitics you don't make any sense at all.
Rightfully so since both countries are beholden to religious nutters.Both my Iranian and Jewish friends within my acquaintances are very concerned about these developments. They are not fans of either government.
Still waiting on your explanation as to how murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians to colonize their land is Israel “defending itself”.fify
If you're feeling sorry for the country that has terrorized the Middle East for decades, then that should give them some comfort as their defenses are decimated and their nuclear assets are destroyed.Let's not forget there's a country 1,400 miles away, where the citizens never had a chance to "hunker underground", as they were unprovoked surprise attacked by Missiles and Fighter Jets.
Write a book about it. Maybe I'll read it. Wouldn't buy it though, would check it out from the library.Still waiting on your explanation as to how murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians to colonize their land is Israel “defending itself”.

I do despair, though, that the principles of democracy that formed both our and their nationalities are being overborne by autocratic leaders without much sense of decency.
I should write a book about your failure to support your claims? Interesting assertion there.Write a book about it. Maybe I'll read it. Wouldn't buy it though, would check it out from the library.
No, about your claims that you want people to engage with.I should write a book about your failure to support your claims? Interesting assertion there.
Oh, so you aren’t denying the fact Israel’s actions are anything but “self defense”, then. Got it.No, about your claims that you want people to engage with.

I have no sympathy at all for the Iranian theocracy.Remind us who attacked first in this exchange.
I have no idea how you think this is a response to the fact that your own sources point out to you the reality that neither China nor Russia have expressed any intention of risking themselves to defend IranThose countries are very familiar with the divide and conquer technique - they ain't falling for it
...oh it was since 1991? My mistake.Pure UNADULTERATED BULLCRAP
Ukraine: A Colony of the US Since 1991
By Helena Glass
Helena-The Nationalist Voice
How Ukraine came To Be The Property of US GOVERNMENT:
With the splintering of the USSR in 1991, the concept was to devalue Russia to such an extent, the western powers could easily colonize the country under the western backed leadership of Yeltsin. The US then set about to pour billions into the collapsed region to support the various NGO’s and Industries waiting in the wings to envelop Russia.

No, you just like to put words in people's mouths and pretend they say and think things they don't. That's why people don't engage.Oh, so you aren’t denying the fact Israel’s actions are anything but “self defense”, then. Got it.
You've heard of the theory of MAD?If Iran wanted to “destroy Israel” why hasn’t it used its extensive arsenal of other WMDs at Tel Aviv? It easily could, after all.
WHAT ?
Iran is NOT a threat to the US
Iran is a free and sovereign country - its people NOT THE CIA OR MOSSAD - must detrmine how to defend itself
