To think the US was right to bomb Iran? What am I missing?

[Lastu]

I am no fan of Trump. I’m very much left wing.

But am I missing something here? Why has everyone become such huge supporters of Iran? The world is a safer place as a result of removing their capability to develop nuclear weapons? Why is everyone carrying on like Iran is a victim and they were truly just trying to implement peaceful nuclear capabilities? Has everyone lost the plot?

What rights are women denied in Israel?

I suspect holidaying in the US is quite different to the realities of living there, for women of childbearing age.

How many is too many for them, for their own government? At which point do you down weapons and surrender?

Funny, I suspect that if it became a reality, the US and Israel would not be a fraction as repugnant as Iran. You do a disservice to the women of Iran.

I didn’t say any rights of women were denied in Israel? What made you jump to this conclusion?

You do know you can't just take stuff the isn't yours. (Well you can if you are a settler but in the rest of the world you can't)

And what do you think happened to the homes and other immovable assests of the hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern Jews who moved or fled to Israel between 1948 and 1951?

Not Iran though, is it?

Since the Partition Plan in the 1940s up until the present day, the Arabs have never wanted a two state solution. Every poll shows very low support for it. Their only goal ever has been one state, free from Jews.

Because if you were a woman, you’d know none of these are appealing options right now

Why would being a woman in Israel be unappealing?

How many Jews live in Gaza? How many in the West Bank area A? Compare that to the 2+ million Arabs living in Israel. Then tell us again who commits ethnic cleansing.

Whilst I don’t disagree there are big differences …. What are they, in your view?

I’m looking forward to my next trip to the US. Felt safe there before, and feel safe going this time. Would love to move there permanently and escape the shit-show that the UK is becoming, but unfortunately not independently wealthy enough

Ask Trump to let you in for free. He's shipping over a pile of White South Africans to the US for free right now ( wonder why 🙄)

I’d still rather seek refuge in the US. That’s not a holiday. Coming from a family of refugees, and growing up knowing all about fleeing for your life, I’d make the choice to head west, orange man or not.

A few reasons, but mainly I saw the images from the atrocities committed on October 7th, of the women raped in the horrendous attack. How specifically did the Israeli government protect women on that day?
I’ve seen Palestinian women starved to death, forced to give birth in hospitals which are bombed by the Israeli government.
And Israel is currently under attack from Iranian rockets as a direct result of the rockets fired by the Israeli government.

Specifically what about any of that is a sales pitch for life in Israel & under the current Israeli government for women?

FWIW I’d go to New Zealand.

That’s because the IRA wasn’t elected to government with the express intention of inihilating the English, not only from England but the rest of the world. If they had been, perhaps our reaction would have been different. As it is, we’re a little more civilised than a medieval death cult.

How many Jews live in Gaza? How many in the West Bank area A? Compare that to the 2+ million Arabs living in Israel. Then tell us again who commits ethnic cleansing

seriously? Wonder why few Jews are in Gaza .......then think how many Palestinians will be left alive in Gaza......and watch how fast the Jews from Israel move in to make another 'settlement' as their divine right.

Then look at whether there are equal rights to land and jobs for non Jews in Israel.

Exhibit A for right wing extremism; false accusations against people who disagree with you with no evidence offered to back them up, sneering comments about "the left" and using the term "useful idiots."
Yep. We've got us a ringer here.

In the context of this quote, the nuclear weapons which Russia possesses.

Now the US in deeply in debt to other countries and is just barely paying off the interest on all the debt. It is self destructing. We are witnessing the fall of an empire.

Or for immigrants who don't have light enough skin for that matter.

You’re blaming Israel for a terrorist attack committed by Hamas? Absolutely disgusting. Israel has got one of, if not the, best defence system for their civilians in the world, because they invest their money in protecting their country. And you blame them for the Palestinians they allowed to live and work in Israel gathering data to give to Hamas so they could rape and murder Israeli civilians, and that’s Israel’s fault?

And Israel is currently under attack from Iranian rockets as a direct result of the rockets fired by the Israeli government.

Do these attacks not affect men?

Specifically what about any of that is a sales pitch for life in Israel & under the current Israeli government for women?

So attacks from hostile neighbours means you wouldn’t want to be a woman in Israel? How do these things not affect men?

Hold on, I thought Gaza was full of Jewish settlers…?

Agree on the victim blaming there. Horrendous.
