Imagine rooting for a country to be attacked by Iran of all countries that's like supporting North Korea potentially launching missiles at the US. Antisemites not even hiding it anymore, huh? Who here is rooting for this? If Iran does go to war with Israel inevitably the ordinary people of the Middle East will bear the brunt of the war, as has been the case for decades with Western intervention in the region. It will be a **** show. Israel shouldn't have bombed the Iranian consulate in Syria. They are to blame for this escalation (as usual) and educated "incels" here are discussing the implications like grown-ups. You are completely out of your depth here. 12 15 1

This may be news to you, but on the international stage Israel is no longer able to hide behind "antisemitism" now that they are actively committing genocide. Being a victim of trauma and violence does not excuse the perpetuation of trauma and violence. 12 2 1
Arrows Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Can't believe anyone would willingly pick sides in this entire mess. It's an endless cycle of revenge on revenge and has been for close to a century. All "sides" are guilty of countless crimes against humanity. "Defending yourself" will not win anyone lasting peace here, which should be the real goal. 3 1

I'm all for trashing the Israeli military but Iran's impending response is very much not because of the current war so this response is kinda weird. Especially since we are also talking about Iran. They aren't exactly angels over there either. 6
Velvet Night Posted April 10 Posted April 10 I'm so tired of these countries threatening to bomb each other. Do us all a favor and bomb yourself out of existence. 1

It wouldn't trigger anything. Israel attacked Iran first this time and Israel is not a NATO state that would trigger a war.

It's quite easy to take sides when there's only one apartheid ethno-state committing genocide here. One that has no right to exist in the first place. What Liberal Zionists and even the "I just want peace" crowd refuse to get is that being pro-Palestine doesn't mean we're pro-Iran and support everything that country does/has done.

As much as I would want the US to stay out of it you know we'd suddenly deploy troops there. Ugh. Not necessarily, you know that fighting jets can do the wonders, plus Iran right now not in good position to provoke US, since they provided a lot of ammunition to Russia. Anyway, when all that madness with continuous wars and murders will finally stop... it seems like Covid has hit their brains very hard
Trent W Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Isn't this how actual world war starts? One bullies a country, another bigger bully gets involved, then the more powerful countries start getting involved Idk, this would be catastrophic imo 4 1

Sigh And this is why I know you don't see peace as the end game. I hate Netanyahu and the Israeli government more than anyone. They should abandon the settlements and leave Palestinians alone. But when you say "Israel shouldn't exist", what's your realistic idea of the end game? Should 10 million Israelites leave the country? You realize that's ethnic cleansing as well, right? Peace should come before revenge or even justice, but I'm well aware most people will never see it that way. 8 3

I love how you're prioritizing an imagined scenario for Israeli Jews over Palestinians' 80 year old reality. Like… the imagined scenario you fantasized is quite literally Palestinians' reality. It's already a one state. There are no two states here. One state. The only question is - should apartheid be the ruling regime or real democracy? That's the only relevant calculation here.

We are calling for a single one-state where Arabs and Jews all have equal civil rights. The two state solution is a myth. 6 2

You could have a leftist government and they still would be committing the same crimes. Quote Should 10 million Israelites leave the country? You realize that's ethnic cleansing as well, right? You realize that's what Palestinians have been actually experiencing for decades, right? I love how you all scream "but where will the jews go????" as if anyone said they should be expelled. Also asking for settlers to leave a land that isn't theirs is not ethnic cleansing. We're calling for a fully decolonized Palestine aka one secular, democratic, and multi-ethnic state where Christians/Jews/Muslims live together like they did for centuries before. One form of citizenship with equal rights for all. Reparations for Palestinians. And obviously the right of return for the Palestinian diaspora who are still not allowed to visit their land. Israelis who don't like it can leave and go back to Europe/America/anywhere else. Many Israeli settlers already have dual passports/citizenship. You can't both sides this and ask for peace without asking for the state of Israel to be dissolved. Edited April 10 by State of Grace. 3 8
Mean Trees Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Apparently Israel is supposed to get away with killing 33K Palestinians and bombing a whole embassy with zero repercussions. Absolute craziness! 3

Obviously Palestinians should be treated fairly, as I expressed previously, but I sadly can't see either a two-state solution or a functioning country of Israelis and Palestinians working out. Too much hatred from both sides now.

You say obviously Palestinians should be treated fairly but then say there's no solution when the solution is literally giving Palestinians fair treatment. I'm not attacking you, I'm just trying to make you look at things differently. There are already 2 million Palestinians living inside 48' borders and despite conflicts and daily discrimination they don't go around "terrorizing" Israeli Jews because they're not living under a direct military occupation that's stripping them away from their civil rights. If "hatred" was truly the core issue then 48' Palestinians and Jews would have already massacred each others to the bones by now (48' Palestinians received their citizenships / civil rights in 1968) so it's fair to say that a military apartheid regime is the core issue and not some "these guys don't know how to get along" issue. We're not little kids. Like… you really can't equate someone hating someone for existing vs someone hating someone for restricting their freedom by force. Edited April 10 by Jjang 2 4
