Saw a post from the fem comm stating this place is going awry

You can sell the rest to the restaurants

The Balfour declaration was a statement from the British government, not some legal document sent down from god. The UN partition plan comes a lot closer, and also tried to outline a ‘clean’ 2-state solution (well, 3-state actually). But the muslims publicly (and the jews secretly) denounced it. It’s pretty ridiculous to go waving those documents in the face of just one of those parties.

And I’m not disputing that they tried to get as much territory as possible and tried to expulse those with the wrong religion. Or that they were less than friendly in doing so. But then again: so did the other side.

The border boys that shot Alex Pretti had rather latino sounding names as well

Not if we can avoid it

They would. And it’s in the interest of the world that they get stopped

You claim that israel/zionists were the only ones that incited violence. My link is part of the more nuanced history of jews inside the dissolving Ottoman empire first escaping discrimination, then looking to create their own state, then being joined by refugee migrants from Europe, and then local muslim fundamentalists turning violent against them because they wanted to make sure islam remained the privileged religion on all of the land

That’s a lot more nuanced than what you posted above, sadly in line with many other lemmings who choose to simplify all of that history into “the jews jumped from their boats guns blazing”

Well if I were Iran, I’d declare that my religious doctrine is and always has been a sham, only used to oppress and murder innocent people since the dark ages up untill today, declare that all people should be treated equal regardless of gender, sexual preference or religion, repent for my past sins in any way possible and organise free and fair elections for the people of Iran.

Building a nuke would rank very low

I think you’re a terrible human being by choosing to take the easy route and not trying to understand these conflicts.

I hope you live a happy life and the world gets better

Is it a good thing that the second country gets a nuke as well?

In this case, Iran is ruled by a doomsday cult theocracy where let’s say 10% of the population controls the other 90% as cattle. They honestly believe that their only purpose in life is to defeat Satan (literally translated into Israel and the US by their scholars) and then they can literally go to heaven and party like it’s '99

Now you can say a lot about Israel, and I’m going to repeat that I don’t want them to have nukes, but the comparison between a democratic Israel and doomsday cultist Iran is just…

A slight but very important bit of a difference that a lot of lemmings have lost sight of after seeing, sadly, too much videos of Palestinian toddlers being blown to smithereens

Yeah it’s always funny to take their criticisms of the West (I believe most of them must be US 20 and 30-somethings) and are completely oblivious of them in their ‘uncritically supported actually existing socialist countries’.

Sure being gay is outlawed, but that’s because it’s too soon and the country needs to stay united

Sure all the minorities are being re-educated to create a nationalist monoculture empire, but that’s really the only single way you can beat the, erh… evil nationalist empire.

But apparently, Israel does not come a knockin’ as long as they don’t initiate the hostilities. They attacked Israel in 2023 as a sign of support for the attack from Hamas. They still have the goal of destroying Israel and creating an Islamic state instead. Jordan and Egypt accepted that they have a jewish state (with all the history), they don’t attack them and they don’t get attacked in return. This last concept seems to be something that Hezbollah struggles with on a fundamental level. They feel like they should be allowed to support and partake in the destruction of Israel themselves as much as they want, but any single missile flying back is an absolute breach of human rights and international law…

Shebaa Farms and Syrian territory (you can add the Golan Heights as well, sixty years ago) are interesting to mention.

For starters, the Shebaa Farms area was contested between Syria and Lebanon even without Israel. You could say that it was demographically part of Lebanon that was ‘seized’ by Syria through lobbying in much the same way as large parts of Palestine were ‘seized’ by Israel in the partition plan for Palestine. Sure you could say that it should belong to either of those two and not Israel, but then what are you basing everything off anyway?

Secondly, there’s a disparity between what we were taught as children in that there are fixed borders between countries where you see a sign and people speak a different language, have different licence plates etc. and people get along and that’s how things are and always will be… And reality where countries were shaped through wars and natural boundaries.

If your enemy has attacked you twice from an advantageous hillside position and you manage to beat them back, sometimes with great losses, it might not be unwise to take those hills from them. It might be advantageous to beat them back behind a river and keep your side occupied. First as a buffer zone, and then after a few years you have a castle, fields, a village etc. . Of course I don’t know which country you’re from but if you study the history of how its borders were formed, there’s a big chance they are the result of the same violent reasons that you now feel are in breach of you childish view (meant in the positive sense - see above) that taking that hill or river bank are capital sins.

Which other funds do they have

Well, it might be interesting if they were to try to take Kharg…

Sure they can aim there, but they would be a) destroying their own incredibly important infrastructure and b) redirecting munitions that could otherwise be used on soft targets in gulf states

They just need one guy running around the island waving a flag and airpower to sink incoming boats

Well that’s a slight diversion from how Iran is involved but

Even if you ignore the systemic discrimination under the Ottomans, that’s incorrect

Bowing down wouldn’t have helped either. CCP doctrine is basically “well you had your fun but now it’s over”

Relevant

A few posts up you were saying everyone should have nukes to protect themselves, now you’re saying you want at least three of them destroyed

It’s commendable that you care for Palestinian children but I don’t think you’ve really thought about how a nuclear armed Iran would help them

These conditions are there to prevent them from killing more people.

If you’re referring about the war of '82 I assume you have either a very, very onesided or a very, very rudimentary view on that part of history. And even then: after that war ended 40 years ago, why would you want Hezbollah to restart it? Who does it help to keep this going?

Do you think the Iranian regime is something that should be kept safe?

If your base premise is that Hezbollah should just be allowed to break a ceasefire deal, why would you bring it up? Can’t you see the irony?
