Note how Netanyahu emphasizes the involvement of the US, while the US tries to distance itself from it.

Israel wants to drag the US into war against Iran, so Israel can watch as the US does the heavy lifting and has soldiers sent back in coffins.

I wouldn’t call these “strong” alliances. Russia has a quite ambiguous relationship with Israel, including having let Israel bomb Iran allied/proxy militias in Syria, when Assad was still in power.

Russia and China are profiting off sanctions against Iran, as Iran cannot develop its industries for selling on western markets, instead selling raw or low level processed resources to Russia and China.

It is more of an alliance by necessity against the US as the main geopolitical rival and its proxies in West Asia as the main regional enemies to Iran.

You are confirming my point imo. The parties and people that consider themselves left are still Zionist. They do not oppose genocide against Palestinians because it is wrong to mass murder people. They oppose it because they see the long term consequences for Israel. They are not willing to stop the settlement expansion, leave alone remove the settlements and end the illegal occupation.

The “based” statements you refer to come now, as the genocidal rhetoric has become completely unhinged and Israel is unable to maintain the narratives even in allied countries. This is not done out of ethical conviction, but to present themselves as “reasonable” alternative to Netanyahu and an option to get back to the status quo. The status quo of ethnic cleansing and imperial expansion slow enough for Israels allies to be able to look the other way.

Anti-zionist and therefore anti-fascists are a fringe minority in the Israel society.

Ich wäre nicht überrascht, wenn sich herausstellt, dass im Freundeskreis des Richters ebenfalls “Witze” über Türken gemacht werden und man sich aufregt, dass man wegen den ganzen Ausländern nicht mehr in der Stadt aufhalten könne.

Neither Sunni Muslims nor Shia Muslims want that. This is genocidal hate speech against Muslims.

Iran used to be best friends with Israel. When the Shah a dictator ruled Iran, that was installed after the US couped the democratically elected president. Subsequently that dictator received training for his armed forces and intelligence as well as weapons from Israel. Israel helped the Shah torture, murder and dissappear tens of thousands of people.

Of course after the revolution Iran became hostile to the country that built up the Gestapo in their country. Then the US encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, killing a million Iranians in the following 8 years.

Iran is right to feel threatened by the US and Israel, since these two threaten Iran since four decades. Still Iran was willing to negotiate and the JCPOA was achieved under Obamas presidency, but subsequently destroyed by Trump to the cheers of Israel. Israel wants Iran to be annihilated since many years, but it wants the US to do the bidding. Still Iran was in negotiations with the US again, that Israel worked hard to sabotage.

It is perfectly rational for Iran to want to develop a nuclear weapon now, as any attempt at diplomacy was met with attacks by Israel.

Netanyahu has been on and off power in Israel over the past three decades.

Looking at Smotrich, Ben Gvir and the like, the even more fascist right is not going to be any better. Meanwhile what considers itself the “left” in Israel is still very much genocidal and imperialist.

Just like Trump, Netanyahu isn’t the root cause, just an aggravating symptom of the issues in the society.

It is quite simple. Proportionate responsive violence is appropriate. Key is that the escalation by the government needs to be met with escalation by the people, not for people to escalate first.

Note that civil disobedience isnt violence. Disobeying curfew? You are not harming anyone, except the governments authoritarian authority.

Government goons beat up people? Beat up the government goons.

Government goons start shooting? Shoot back.

We have been conditioned by decades of propaganda, that only they get to use violence and responding to their violence would be wrong. But it is not.

Great. Israel proves once again that Iran needs a nuke to protect itself. Iran now has all the reason to quickly develop a nuke, which Israel will take as a pretext to demand the US to invade Iran for them.

An Iranian nuke will make Saudi want one, and then Turkiye will also want one.

Israel is doing everything it can to keep the region in perpetual war, justifying its imperialist and genocidal regime as “self defense”.

Yeah, best way to do that is always attack your neighbors.

Israel want the US to go to war with Iran, while they get to watch.

First of all Israel wants Russia in the region to hinder an increase of Turkish presence. Also Israel has a very different stance to Russia than NATO. This includes Israel having demanded Ukraine to surrender to Russia as well as Israel providing military drones to Russia between the occupation of Crimea and the full scale invasion.

Second of all, Iran isnt some small country that can be pushed around easily. This will lead to a prolonged war, which is Israels goal, to drag its “Allies” or rather its bitches into a long and bloody war against Iran, so that they can do the dirty work for Israel, while Israel can finish the genocide. This means Ukraine will have less support for the following months if not years.

Third of all the resulting spike in Oil and Gas prices will replenish the Russian war chest.

Fourth of all, Iran has provided production licencses to Russia, China and recently allegedly North Korea. So the weapons can continue to flow to Russia, while Ukraine will suffer.

This is Putins dreams and Israel is once again undermining the security of its supposed allies.

It is a Boeing plane. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions on the pilots being at fault.

And he doubled down on it as his age doubled.

Damit sind es auch nur sehr große Zeichenkettem, die man kaum zufällig erraten kann. Das ändert vom Prinzip des “dümmsten” Angriffs nichts ggü. einer sehr langen zufälligen Zeichenkette als Schlüssel zum Aufrufen eines bestimmten Seiteninhalts.

So lange die Identifikation über die Ferne erfolgt wird es immer darauf hinauslaufen, dass man ein oder mehrere Zeichenketten liefern muss, die zu erraten von der Wahrscheinlichkeit praktisch ausgeschlossen sind.

Politically they get what they want. Trump will take the blame for tax cuts and anti immigration policies they couldnt pass without alienating too many voters. Then next election they expect to have people crawl back. Ratchet and repeat.

It is from John Mearsheimer.

Anyone who obeys his orders is his stooge at the end of the day. Doesn’t matter how they personally feel about it, unless that leads to them disobeying such orders.

It is fundamentally different if you conquer an area, impose some taxes and otherwise leave the people somewhat alone, or if you genocide them to create Lebensraum for yourself.

It is quite simple really. There is about the same number of Palestinians and white Israelis in Palestine. Palestinians have a higher birthrate.

The current state was Apartheid, which is costly and unstable.

This leads to three long term options for an Israeli presence:

1. Find a political solution, grant equal rights to everyone and serve some justice for Israels past crimes. This is contradictory to the plan of a “jewish” supremacy state. A two state solution also wouldnt work as there is about two million Palestinians with Israeli passport, but heavily discriminated. These would also eventually become an equally sized demographic.

2. Ethnic cleansing

3. Genocide

Since option 1 goes against the core ideology of the Zionists, Israel was always seeking Option 2 or 3. There was a slow ethnic cleansing of the Westbank and East Jerusalem over the past 30 years. Now Israel gambles that they can finish the full ethnic cleansing and genocide faster than the global support failing.
