> Nobody forces them to try and build nuclear bombs, chant death to Jews, or fund literal terrorist groups who do crazy things.

Swap “Jews” with “Arabs” and you’d be describing Israel, except they don’t just chant and already have nuclear bombs





Link me a video I want to be informed if this is actually the case.

This guy's story covers both (the crazy illegal actions and the nuclear weapons program.)

Apologies, I meant the chanting, the nuclear thing is well documented but yes thanks for the link to that.


I don't recall Israel threatening Arabs in the context of committing genocide or wiping, say, Iraq and Saudi Arabia off the map. Instead it's about getting Iran specifically to stop funding Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and other groups never mind ISIS/ISIL &c.

Israel isn't innocent either. Their actions in Gaza went beyond what was necessary, in my opinion, but I will never accept or entertain a discussion where all the blame just goes to Israel or just goes to the United States.

Neither Israel or the United States are doing what Iran is doing. Iran actively chooses to be belligerent because their authoritarian leaders, who also like to help Russia invade and bomb Ukraine mind you, need an enemy to try and maintain appearances.

I don't know but I don't doubt that Israel has a nuclear bomb. I also don't have a problem with it, because unlike Iran they don't go around threatening their neighbors with nuclear holocaust and destruction, like Iran does.


Israel is creating starvation conditions in Gaza right now, that's worse than a threat.

What does that have to do with Iran? Well, of course besides funding and equipping Hamas to go do dumb things like attack Israel.

Are the Palestinians Iranian citizens? They weren't the last I checked. So no need for Iran to be involved there.

If you want to argue that Israel is "doing things right now" in this broad context against Arabs well, so did Hamas, Hezbollah, and others against Israelis. Iran threatens nuclear holocaust on Israel, Iran also launched ballistic missiles at Israel, funds ISIS/ISIL, Hezbollah, destabilized Syria and tried to destabilize Iraq. Maybe everyone just deserves what is happening to them?


>Are the Palestinians Iranian citizens? They weren't the last I checked. So no need for Iran to be involved there.

I don't think it should be possible to kill two million people in a well planned and organised fashion without getting everyone involved...


I agree. The United States specifically should get involved and secure Gaza and institute peace, kick out Hamas, and ensure that no weapons from Iran are flowing to the area and causing a humanitarian disaster by encouraging and facilitating continuing bloodshed.
