  1. Just take a look at what the senior religious nut jobs are up to recently . These insane fanatics have to be tried for war crimes.
  2. You forgot to mention that the women are kept behind a curtain at weddings and celebrations. Israel is a country built on religious fanaticism. They are most definitely the cause of instability and will not stop until they own all surrounding countries.
  3. He can't mean it, no one is that racist and foolish.
  4. I notice you haven't replied, not shown any regret to the 100 schoolgirls killed in this unlawful attack. Any thing to say about that?
  5. As we see in Gaza, the US don't care about killing 25,000 kids with their 2,000 lb bombs for 'precision strikes'. Not a good time to be American or Israeli.
  6. Ate you trolling. What war has Iran started in the last 100 years?
  7. JimCM replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
    How naive, this is the start of the fall of the US empire and Israel will be eradicated in a few years. Did you support the war on Iraq? Did that end well for the US?
  8. Nothing wrong with supporting allies, like Hezbollah,the US does it with it's allies. Terrorism is the wrong word, its freedom fighters, fighting against the evil Israel. Do you think the countries Israel blockades, annexes, genocides, should not fight back?
  9. Your spiritual leader, Netanyahu and his religious nutters in the Knesset give Trump orders. Iran has every right to destroy Israel now. As you know, Iran has not started a war in 200 years.
  10. Not my hero. More drunken tripe from you.
  11. Expert professor Sachs says this will be the end of the US empire and end of Israel within 2 years.
  12. The USA supports Israel, who are the terrorists. You've probably never heard of Irgun or King David hotel but maybe you've heard of Queen Elizabeth, who refused to set foot on Israeli soul. Are you a Jew or just a racist Islamophobe?
  13. What terrorists do I support?
  14. What a disgusting, off topic piece of drunken tripe.
  15. The USA is about 250 years old, Iran is about 2500 years old, let's see who is still there in another 100 years. To the yanks, you gotta stop believing the Israeli propaganda. It's hard I know when the president lied about seeing beheaded babies after October 7, mass tapes and all that other nonsense, when, as the head of UN said, that prison break out didn't happen in a vacuum. You guys caused all the problems with resistance groups or freedom fighters with you unwarranted aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Best thing you can do is stop supporting the terrorist state of Israel, put limits on how much money the Israel lobby donate, and inhumane attrocities like sending 20,000 lb bombs that have killed 100,000 innocent people, most of whom were women and children.
  16. One question, do you think North Korea should have nuclear weapons but not Iran? Do you feel threatened? IT'S ALL ABOUT ISRAEL. Do you agree? Because Iran is a peaceful country, I would feel safe if they had nuclear weapons. You say I haven’t answered the core questions - but I think there are deeper ones underneath them. Do you believe countries in the region would truly feel safer if Iran had no meaningful deterrent while Israel maintains nuclear weapons and full US backing? Is nuclear deterrence only stabilising when held by US allies, but inherently destabilising when held by their adversaries? You frame this purely around Iranian behaviour, but context matters. Israel has possessed undeclared nuclear weapons for decades and has never signed the NPT. Since 1967, it has expanded settlements in occupied territories widely considered illegal under international law. Senior Israeli leaders are currently the subject of international legal scrutiny regarding conduct in Gaza. Whether one agrees with those charges or not, they are not fringe accusations. So another question: If international law and non-proliferation norms apply universally, should they not apply equally to Israel as well as Iran? You also argue Iran’s rhetoric shapes threat perception. That’s true. But threat perception runs both ways. Iran’s hostility toward the US did not emerge in a vacuum - the 1953 CIA-backed coup, decades of sanctions, and the “Axis of Evil” doctrine are part of that memory. That history feeds distrust on all sides. This debate cannot be reduced to “Iran bad, Israel defensive.” The strategic dilemma cuts both ways. The real question may be: Does permanent nuclear asymmetry create long-term stability - or does it create the very incentives for proliferation that we claim to oppose?
  17. If Israel and the United States are permitted to have nuclear weapons, it is difficult to argue in principle that Iran should be permanently denied the same capability purely on the basis of power politics. Nuclear deterrence has historically operated on the logic that possession prevents large-scale war rather than causes it. ALSO, Iran has not initiated a conventional interstate war in over two centuries. That doesn’t mean its regional behavior is benign(it does support allies like Hezbollah), but it complicates the narrative that it is uniquely reckless compared with other nuclear-armed states. You ask whether I would feel comfortable with Iran having nuclear capability. Personally, I am not comfortable with any state possessing nuclear weapons. The real issue is whether proliferation increases or decreases overall risk. Some argue deterrence stabilizes; others argue it escalates and increases the chance of miscalculation. History also urges caution. The Iraq WMD case shows how intelligence assessments and worst-case assumptions can lead to catastrophic outcomes. The invasion cost trillions of dollars, destabilized the region, and created the vacuum in which Al-Qaeda in Iraq - later evolving into ISIS - was able to expand. The collapse of state structures and sectarian conflict fueled extremist movements that carried out devastating attacks regionally and internationally. That history makes many people wary of intelligence-based justifications for escalation. And, Israel is undeniably central to this equation. Iran’s nuclear posture, Israel’s undeclared but widely assumed nuclear capability, and the broader U.S.- Israel strategic relationship are deeply intertwined. For many in Tehran, the issue is framed as deterrence against Israel. For Israel, it is framed as an existential threat. That mutual perception drives much of the escalation. This is not about being pro- or anti-any one country. It is about consistency, deterrence theory, regional security architecture, historical precedent, and the long-term consequences of escalation.
  18. Thanks. But you still support a country where 47% think it's ok to kill all Palestinians in Gaza? https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/majority-israelis-support-expulsion-palestinians-gaza-poll#:~:text=An%20overwhelming%20number%20of%20Israelis,of%20the%20conquest%20of%20Jericho.
  19. One reality is Netanyahu still controls US policy and wants, along with his Nazi like cabinet. 47% of Jewish Israelis think it's ok to kill all Gazans. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/majority-israelis-support-expulsion-palestinians-gaza-poll#:~:text=An%20overwhelming%20number%20of%20Israelis,of%20the%20conquest%20of%20Jericho.
  20. Iran, why? I never said Iran haven't been in a war, reread my post.
  21. So you must support Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and Netanyahu? These are despicable animals, I don't need to show you quotes on what they've said about cleansing the West Bank and Gaza and their crazy religious ideology. Any one with any morals would not support these creatures.
  22. There only US president with integrity to stand up to the Israel lobby was this great man.
  23. Of course, who's more important - the US Jewish billionaires or private Hank from Arkansas?
  24. Looks like this Israeli/American's $400 million donation to Trump has paid off. She'll be laughing now, c as well as all the other billionaires who donate to the Israel lobby.
