It get’s worse, 33 years he’s been banging on about Iran’s nuclear weapons.

Who cares about WW3 if NetanyahuÂ’s corruption trial can be delayed by another year.

Quality wisdom, torch the tree we are all living in as long as one Jew is tied to the trunk of it.

Do you think Jon’s criticism of Netanyahu is because he’s Jewish or because he’s a bit of a (humongous) dickhead?

Israeli hospital hit overnight so that makes US involvement seem more likely to me.

I don't think that incident will really affect the position of the Trump government. They are hardly concerned about hospitals in Gaza bring destroyed by the Israelites.

As for the US going beyond just supporting Israel financially and logistically, it usually follows that UK governments of either colour swing behind them beyond just supplying them with 'Five Eyes' intelligence.

Re: Iran

Loving the fall out over this between Trump and some of his cohorts - e.g. Tulsi Gabbard, even MTG.

Meanwhile back at home - typical Tory response:

Awful seeing that but the hypocrisy of Israelis saying how despicable hitting a hospital is after their continuing actions in Gaza beggars belief

Absolutely this ^^^

This is a new low coming from you, Truthpaste. The irony here is that Israel are happy to kill scores of civilians for the sake of one Hamas terrorist - there seems to be no limit on that. Although sometimes a terrorist isn't always involved, such as when it comes to their continuing denial of humanitarian aid.

The Israeli people are starting to realise the false sense of security that their defensive weaponry has given them, I think a lot of them thought it made them pretty untouchable and that is being proved false.

Israel looking vulnerable to attacks makes it more likely that the US get more involved.

With regards to US involvement, it can never be a good thing. Didn't we learn anything from the Iraq war?

Only two individuals know Jon's real motives for saying and doing what he does, however on this and many other matters he would appear to be so on Israel's case that his comment re WW3 indicates he is so focused on his opposition to all things Israeli that he makes throw away comments like - 'who cares about WW3'.

He is free to make such comments although you and he would disagree with me re the ultimate consequences of such a mindset.

Are you really that dense? Really?

Re: Iran

Two points. Why not let Iran have nuclear weapons - North Korea do. Having them just makes them less vulnerable to bullying from the West [which is prob. why they don't want them to have them], but even if they did, they couldn't use them in anger as the U.S. would wipe Iran off the planet before they had the chance.
Second point. Israel will lead us into WW3 if there is to be one.

I marched against that war on three occasions. It was wholly unjust and nothing to do with 9/11. But that doesn't mean all foreign involvement is a bad thing. We don't know what would have happened with no intervention. Less so in Iraq, which was a disaster, but in other cases.

Disasters in foreign intervention also isn't just a US thing. There's examples across the board of failed and successful interventions. I don't think never doing anything and letting every totalitarian regime develop nuclear weapons is a particularly good idea tbh
