Wow things are escalating to levels I don’t know if we are prepared for. But Mossad are no fools so must be confident in their actions.

They don't need to be western democracies. Just stop threatening to wipe out other countries. You might not think it makes you safer but it does.
You want north korea and iran to have nuclear weapons. Im sorry that n korea has and glad that Iran will be prevented. I think the world is safer with a non nuclear Iran.

I think the world is dangerous with a nuclear USA.
The most armed and corrupt country on earth whose "democratic" process was subverted to return a corrupt sex offending lunatic as president , who is systematically dismantling all legal checks and balances which might keep him from absolute autocracy.......and you think that is a country which is safe to have nuclear weapons but other countries aren't.
Right. That seems reasonable .

"We let"
"Just the way it is"

Absolute Western entitlement. And a great way to piss off countries in the middle east. Which does not make us safer.

It's not up to us to impose Western democracy ( which is a fucking ironic term given that Trump bought the Presidency) on countries that never were Western democracies and don't want to be.

They are as entitled to have nuclear arms as we are.

Show quote history

If we feel entitled to have them then they feel entitled to have them. And they are. So long as nuclear weapons exist in the world then no country is more entitled to them than any other whether you approve of them or not. Abd they will develop them by whatever means. That's not naive. That's fact.
Telling them "they can't" because the West is Billy Big Baws or somehow entitled to them and thinking they will just say "Oh ok then the West has spoken " is naive ( and arrogant) in the extreme. It will and has and lead to burning resentment which inevitably leads to death and blood shed, with or without nukes .

That's just the way it is. Us, for all its faults, is still a democracy. Shame we let north korea get nuclear weapons, it restricts what south korea can do to protect itself. Iran is of the same ilk and threatens israel and the gulf states the way north korea threatens south korea and Japan.

So who decided that the UK and America get to have nukes but Iran can't.
If they want them and can make them.........who appointed us world police to say they cant.

I mean, USA, it's not as if it's run by a complete fucking maniac and his maniac lackies or anything. That's a fab country to be armed to the teeth with nukes.......

Two thoughts

We have to get rid Iran’s nuclear capabilities!

True, but Israel’s sick of of threatened by these evil bastards!
To them, it’s game on!

I don't agree with what Israel has done in gaza. In fact, the attacks on Iran show that Israel is capable of minimising civilian casualties even for the highest value military target.
But the trigger to what has happened in gaza was the brutal hamas attack.

Are you sure? Israel can do as it likes with impunity. Iran is a bit further away , unlikely to be a ground invasion.

Yes, I'm sure. If you don't attack israel, Israel doesn't attack you. It's not hard.

The Israeli government have been emboldened to think that they can attack anyone, such as those in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria with impunity. So why is there surprise at their latest actions in Iran?

The current right wing, despicable Israeli government led by the warmonger Nethanyahu, who continues to cling to power by directing the starvation, shooting and bombing of totally helpless women and children in Gaza who are blockaded in a war zone with absolutely no where to go, have no morals or humanity left.

I know there are a number of Israelis that can see that their government is making Israel a pariah state. But until others in Israel and their supporters around the world can stop deflecting justified concerns, criticisms and challenges to the Israeli governent's heinous actions with the spurious, unjustified shouts of "but you are being anti semitic" they will continue to attack others without fear of consequences so long as they have the backing of Trump's US government and other right wing, nationalist governments.

Totally agree with your post . If you say anything negative about Isreal you are branded a racist !! They carry on with impunity as no government has the bslls or will to stop them .

@CareerChange24
we all knew it was coming, its very bold but as you say they don't do things without thinking about it at least a bit. Presumably the Israelis judge that attempts to bring Iran in from the cold with a new deal both ties their (Iran's) hands and closes the window for violence - so its a great time to do this sort of thing

Jordan, UAE and Egypt don't have nuclear weapons and have no fear of Israel attacking them. Why?
