Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

[mancity2012_eamo]

MAD works on the basis that participants are all able to think rationally. The Iranian regime do not conform to our notion of rational thinking .
They are lead by religious fanatics.
The eschatology of their belief system encourages them to seek conflict with Israel and the West to bring forward the return of the hidden Imam .
Look up Shia Twelverism and it’s eschatology.
The people in charge of this country actually believe this .
Let me know if you still think they should have access to nuclear weapons .

But gods chosen people think rationally.

I cannot help but be amused when some commentators mention that Iran is run by religious fanatics. I wonder what they call members of the Israeli Govt

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Zionist propagandists who have infiltrated UK media and are acting in the best interests of a foreign nation - ASSEMBLE!

 

[The blue phantom]

Only 100 drones on the way to Israel?
Israeli Air strikes would seem to have been very successful then.

When you're backed by those cunts the Americans you're pretty much going to bat everything away.

Let's be honest Israels Governing body/Idf are the biggest shithouses & cowards anywhere on planet earth.

Let's not pretend Iran isn't an Islamic theocracy, that represses women systematically. Google Mahsa Amini, barbaric stuff. I agree that there are some highly unpleasant, far-right individuals in the Israeli government (luckily have been sanctioned by the government now), and their psychopathic pursuit of land is driving the Israeli government's policy. But, this isn't a a matter of good versus evil. Don't pretend that just because the Iranians oppose the Israelis, it automatically reconciles their egregious human rights violations against their civilians.

A woman in Iran isn't allowed to leave the house without wearing a hijab, the penalty is upto 15 years imprisonment. Say something out of turn against the mad mullahs and you're swinging from a crane. I would definitely call them religious fanatics. I fail to see any amusement

Don't think Israel bombing these women is the best way to solve the issue

You say that as if the US administration and GOP isn't awash with Christian Evangelicals who are convinced of Israels pivotal role in the Rapture, the Tribulation, Armageddon and the second coming of Christ and don't legislate and act based on these beliefs?

I'm all for religious fundamentalists having nothing more lethal than desert spoons to play with but that applies to them all not just the brown ones.

What is left after they finish with Iran, they might move against EU governments they consider foes. Spain, Ireland, watch yourselves!
I am just impressed how they managed to close off the airspaces of four countries and nobody dares saying anything!
They are modern Athenians in the best (or the worst) possible way!

Donald Trump has said Israel's strikes against Iran were "excellent" in an interview with ABC.

Referring to negotiations on a nuclear deal, the US president says; "We gave them a chance and they didn't take it.

"They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you're going to get hit. And there's more to come. A lot more."

When asked if the United States participated in the attack in any way, Trump says: "I don't want to comment on that."

Do women sit with the men in synagogues? Hardly indicative of a progressive state

 

[TinFoilHat]

Because we aren't calling out the genocide bibi and his murderers are emboldened to take out Iran and Mango Mussolini will allow it because he thinks his country won't be affected.

I'm intrigued to see how UAE/Saudis and the other Arab nations react.

Listen to the updates Israel hit terrorist bases and bombed uranium enrichment sites
Civilian areas were not hit except for terrorist leaders, they hit the 15th floor only so as not to hit the guards, this is an attack aimed at hitting terrorism only, a big difference, because we have a very big common denominator with the citizens of Tehran, all of them against the Revolutionary Guards.

Do women go to the mosque with men? You do realise that the Persians want nothing to do with this oppressive islamic regime who literally invaded them 46 years ago. Maybe pack your keffiyeh and see what it's like over there.

The middle east is a fucked up part if the world, it will ultimately lead to the destruction if mankind.

There is no reasoning that will keep all parties happy.

 

[SWP's back]

Israel are in the right !

30 years of terror and I hope this is the beginning of the end for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards!

Don’t do yourself down. You’ve been doing the terror for far longer than 30 years buddy.

 

[SWP's back]

So you think invading a country on their own borders equipped largely with Cold War era Ex-Soviet weapons is a good analogue for rolling through Germany and France with their fifth generation combat aircraft and armour that, in the conflict you site, has been shredding the tiny number of modern tanks Russia has been able to deploy? OK…

He said “attack Europe” not “successfully attack Europe”

So precise. Yet in Gaza thousands of civilian casualties.

And by the way the reason there is so much trouble in the area is because Israel is a European colony. You are a colonizer.
And if you are an Askenazi Jew your DNA is way more European than a Palestinian whose DNA is almost 100% levantine.

You do realise it’s absolutely fine to say both sides are cunts? (The sides being the leadership on either side)
