Reply to comment by jesteron in Netanyahu said to huddle repeatedly with military brass over possible attack on Iran by Lionel54321

Why? Because only the US could have a nuclear program?

No no, it’s a great idea to let a country run by religious zealots who constantly call for the destruction of Israel and kill their own citizens access to nuclear weapons.

Just perfect.

The US and Israel should not be dictating who gets to have the weapons that stop people from invading it. Or antagonizing it further. The actions already by the US cut off the country to the point where they lost 10's of thousands of people from Covid due to lack of proper medical protection. I'm sorry, but Isreal doesn't get to decide which country no matter their government can have nuclear weapons or not. They see what everyone else sees, nuclear weapons are literally the only way that stops a full blow invasion of their country. The Israeli government seriously needs to cool the hell down. They've been repeatedly bombing countries around them, not to mention treating Palestinians as second-class citizens and beating the living crap out of them.

So much bullshit in one paragraph, it’s almost impressive.

I won’t waste too much time on an answer because honestly, if you’re not seeing the problem in a radical theocracy having nukes - there’s just not point in talking to you.

Iran, while having a crumbling economy, has chosen its side. It allied itself with Russia, provided weapons to it, supplies weapons to the houthis, to hezbulla, to Hamas, to Syria. They killed thousands of protesters in 2019 and 2022. They hang gays from cranes. They executed people who spoke against the government.

This is a country that cannot hold nukes (not to mention it would start a nuclear arms race with Saudi Arabia, maybe even Egypt..)

Regarding Palestinians - they are not treated as second class citizens. In fact, they are not treated as citizens at all - because they are not Israeli citizens. They have their own government.

Israeli Arabs on the other hand are, in fact, citizens, and they have every right an Israeli Jew or Christian or Druze or atheist or whatever. Because they are Israeli citizens.

There was a Muslim Arab party in the last coalition for god sake. There is a Muslim arab judge in the Supreme Court (who ruled against an ex prime minister accused of bribe and sent him to jail). There are arabs in the army. Because they are Israeli citizens.

I've looked at your posts, maybe stop simping for a far- right warmongering government like Israel so hard.

Feel free to continue “simping” for Iran or Russia or Palestine or Syria.

Great places to be in if you have any western values.
