Breaking: Israel launches 'preemptive strike' against Iran, declares state of emergency

The vile Antisemitism
What is "vile antisemitism"
Why is that aspersion relevant to this discussion?
The ONLY JEWS who are semites are the Mizrahi - the Mizrahi are NOT Zionists and they get along with the Palestinians.

STOP PARROTING BS

Sigh. I've never done genetic testing. But a younger brother did. 30% of his alleles, or whatever it is that's tested for, were associated with Levite lineage. Then, a bunch of Catalan, Sardinia and Southern Italian. Our people were Sephardim, from southern and eastern Italy. So, the whole of it makes perfect sense, because most of the people fleeing the Reconquista and the Inquisition went to Italy, Turkey and Greece by way of Aragonese Sardinia.

No Mizrahi at all.

Sometimes I miss inside jokes from posters using obscure/cryptic references.
So all parties involved rational in its actions.
I agree. Israel and the U.S. are rational when it comes to using brute force in stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
See? We can agree on some very basic premises.

That's where you're wrong to cling to a minority ideology.
Iran is a special kind of evil because is has sown chaos in the region for decades. At some point they needed to be stopped.
It's like Rome destroying the Carthaginians.
Like England and Prussia destroying Napoleon.
Like the Allies destroying Germany. TWICE!
You get the idea.
 
I'm heading out for coffee with my wife (she rates, you do not), so it's easy enough to just tell you that your smarmy orientalism is gross, and should you ever be lucky enough to become ashamed of it, I wish you well in your recovery.
 
Which, sadly, furthers Netanyahu's ambitions.
 
It is admirable how you keep digging looking for ways to apologize or rationalize what Iran has been doing for decades. All the time ignoring what they have been promising to do to Israel in the future.
Let's all sympathize with the Palestinians who have been on the wrong side of civilization for decades.
All the Palestinians have wanted to do is destroy Israel, one of the most advanced and successful countries in the entire Middle East.
The Palestinians could have done something useful with the billions given to them by the West and the Arab countries. Look where they are now. A loser ethnic group that no one wants to support or defend.

I hope your attitude toward me does not ruin your outing with your wife. Please don't spend a lot of time criticizing me for my contrarian views when it comes to condemning radical theocratic nations who constantly chant for the destruction of a single nation.
My so-called 'orientalism' stems from my love of Western culture and my acknowledgement that culture has dominated most of the known world for centuries.
Now if I were an Asian in Chinese, I might think differently.
 

I love your unhinged rant. Keep 'em coming.
 
Isn't this obvious? Israel could immediately raise the temperature in evey major Iranian city millions of degrees.

They could do that if Iran nuked them too. So what you are saying is that Iran and its leaders aren’t suicidal. Good I agree.
 

I can sympathize. Much of that was done to them by other Arab nations, who wanted them broken, impoverished, enraged, a constant thorn for their enemy Israel.

That doesn't mean their culture isn't broken in terrible ways that makes it almost impossible for them to put aside violence, but, they are a weapon formed not entirely of their own will :-/
 
ROFL

Because all land that has ever been ruled by Muslims is forever the land of Muslims.





While the King David Hotel was indefensible, your claim is false.



Your absurd Antisemitic tropes are not a "question."
Israel doesn’t get to mass murder civilians and steal their land without criticism, no matter how much that criticism horrifies you.

Israel carried out far more terrorist attacks than just the one on the hotel.

Was opposing apartheid “anti Semitic”? After all, the government of Israel was desperate to keep the apartheid regime in power.
 
Where you democrats fight with everything you have to maintain the brutal, Pro-Russian dictatorship that is currently in power.
Actually, America helped Iraq gas Iranian civilians in a desperate attempt to defeat Iran...and still lost.
 
The Allies didn’t “destroy Germany”.

France wasn’t destroyed either in the aftermath of Napoleon.
 
Israel just proved that having a nuke is vital to discourage unprovoked attacks.
Iran has been waging a terrorist war on Israel, the US, the UK and others and has been threatening Israel with destruction for decades now but sure we'll go with "unprovoked" to make it look like they're simply bullied for the way their leaders wear towels on their heads.
 
Except literally none of that is true.
 
North Korea announces their support to Iran. Sounds like Iran won't be running out of missiles terribly soon.



Not much can be done about that, except maybe launch another right-wing coup in S.Korea (since the most recent one failed, after the entire population revolted against it)
I'm sure the Cold War Deep State will be considering doing that, while examining all options

If I thought you knew what the word "literally" means, I would explain to you in detail the plans of Iran for Israel.
There is no point in discussing this with you.
You are either Iranian, an anti-Semite, or a rabid Muslim dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Or all three.
 
Just reacting to the mistreatment and indiscriminate killing Israel does all the time.
 
I wonder if Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are going to step up their funding of whatever they think is the "Palestinian Cause". Iran will most likely not have the wherewithal going forward to keep Hamas, the Houthis, or Hezbollah alive and tormenting Israel.
