These Zionist psychopaths commit genocide and bomb countries without any consequences. Fuck Israel.

There can be no prosperity for humanity with such colonies around the world. Disarm Israel now.
- & turn it into an actual safe haven for Jews. Because the far right christians will most definetly use Israel's attrocities to justify anti-semitism (the real one)

not making the best case for "right to exist"
- What case can you make for a religious supremacist ethnostate where they shoot children in the knees for sport?
  
  Are you talking about Iran or Israel?
- They're at the "right to do whatever the fuck we want" stage.

Iran has recently been reported as failing to meet its nuclear non-proliferation obligations and this is undoubtedly the reason Israel describes these strikes as pre-emptive.
- I wonder why they would want nuclear weapons. It might be because people keep bombing them.
  
  They started the program on the first government change after Bush announced the US would invade them...
- Maybe taco shouldn't have backed out of that deal last time he was president.

Israel's actions in the past couple years have all seemed like sorta a desperate attempt to leverage the US Hegemony that's protected them, before the US buckles.
Sorta like imagine a kid in Grade 1 who's a total racist bully to his classmates. But the kid has an older brother in grade 6 who has no issue beating the shit outta any Grade 1 kid who fights back. When the older brother nears the transition to middle school -- at which point the younger will lose his protection -- the younger brother starts instigating like crazy, to try and establish dominance while still protected.
- hopefully it's a swan song
- I mean, there's also the whole "Netanyahu goes to prison if he doesn't have a war going on" thing.
  Honestly, I'm kinda surprised he waited this long.

Waaay back in 2002 a mate of mine very drunkenly espoused his theory that WWIII was going to be caused by Israel because "that Netanyahu cunt is a fucking maniac"
Nailed it, Pete.

Bibi will do anything to keep Israel in a state of emergency. Good for his extreme right buddies but foremost better for himself. As long there is some war going on, their cabinet stays in power and him out of jail for his fraud conviction. Him and his Zionist extremists are cancer for Israel and the region.
- I feel like the narrative that Bibi is just doing this to stay out of jail ignores that the majority of Israeli's approve of what he's doing and would not seek a jail term for him, let alone the fact that the rest of the Israeli government would not prosecute. I'd be glad to be wrong, but it feels like blaming one bad apple just lets Zionism as a whole off the hook.
- Yup, this is all self-preservation to him from the start. Watch him keep this going for a few more years, then come up with an excuse to "delay" the election.
