At an event in North Carolina, Trump addressed the rising tensions in the Middle East and suggested the IDF should attempt to cripple Iran's nuclear program.
It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up the next time someone tells you Trump is an anti-war candidate.
Are you saying all of those muslims are all the same and therefore should have the same interests? Seems a little racist to me.
Try to remember these are people with unique life experiences. If you were someone that had barrel bombs dropped you in the Syrian civil war, you’re probably not going to be siding with the people that did that to you.
The over half a million deaths in that conflict probably weight more heavily on people’s minds than the 40K deaths somewhere else. Nasrallah’s death was celebrated in parts of Syria, and for good reason.
This isn’t a conflict between Jews and Muslims no matter how much you want it to be. It’s a conflict between Israel and Hamas (one of Iran’s proxies) that has expanded to include other Iranian proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis) and potentially Iran itself. Iran’s government sucks and is causing a lot of horrible things to happen throughout the Middle East. One of their proxies took things too far and Israel isn’t fucking around anymore.
Yes, i want Muslims to stop waging war between themselves and you are absolutely right that they are not doing peace at all between themselves, on the contrary. My hope here is completely disconnected from reality : you are absolutely right.
Not only that but also, this “tit for tat” strategy to decrease war is not applied at all in these many conflicts … although it is demonstrated to be the way to minimize war.
“Tit for tat” strategies only work between rational actors that are primarily concerned with the best interests of their people.
People that derive power from extremists fascist strongman narratives often don’t behave in the best interests of their people, but in the best interests of themselves.
Iran doesn’t actually care how many Palestinians dies, they don’t care about how many people die in Lebanon either. Organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah have to fire rockets at Israel or else Iran will start supplying some other group that will with weapons and aid. Iran can do and infinite “tat” strategy because the reciprocal “tit” has no impact on them.
So “tit for tat” between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah isn’t going result in Iran deciding to stop supplying terrorist groups with weapons to fire at Israel. But a “tit-for-tat” strategy between Israel and Iran directly may.
