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

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.Quote:

He is dense enough to fabricate the opinions of other posters. That has been proven time and time again.Quote:

Another example of the humongous dickhead showing his normal level of empathy and concern for others (not). And his self interest is driving state policy to ensure the part-fascist coalition holds together and that his corruption trials are kicked into the long grass.Quote:

I do wish people would post more about the behaviour of leaders elsewhere in the middle east too. Iran is a repulsive regime who's citizens enjoy vastly inferior rights for example.
Just a suggestion. Netanyahu clearly deserves all the criticism he gets, but others do too.
Netanyahu has just said Iran targeted a hospital a dipicable act?what has he been doing in Gaza.Quote:

Good grief
The World is a complex place but Netanyahu stands out for his evilness.. It's a lot better to analyse individually rather than collectively.Quote:

Yes, I know about the Holocaust and cannot imagine what it must have been like for a Jew who lived through it, but the amount of latitude the current day rogue state of Israel gets because of it is inexcusable. Okay, Iran is many of the things it is routinely accused of, but, if Hamas are held by Netanyahu’s Israel to be the aggressors behind the fall out from what happened on 7/10/23, then they have to accept that they are the aggressors when it comes to this situation which has taken the world to the brink in recent days.
Scare event necessary
"Q"
Only option available to me the past couple of days has been BBC news, totally unhinged channel desperate for Trump to bomb Iran the decision has already been made they say according to their sources and Trump comes out last night saying he will decide in two weeks 😂😂😂, if Trump does infact bomb Iran, the he will have likely made a decision from intelligence initially from Bibi, I don't think he will and will be smoothed over but if he does, he then joins the war monger brigade and confirms without any doubt to those who live life without TDS that he is owned by the Israel lobby. His base loyalists are turning on each other and it's entertaining to follow, makes CCMB look like a kindergarten club. Will the ME crises result with the deep state end game where so far, the Ukraine Russia conflict has failed ? A war is desperately wanted by those in dark glasses and crisp suits.
Extension on the extension, if he does bomb em, it will probably be a Friday night or Saturday morning so as not to panic the markets and give them time to settle before they re-open.Quote:

I am convinced that Netanyahu is mainly driven by self interest - continuing a forever war and promoting external threats - to avoid being convicted of fraud or worse and moving to an Israeli gaol. It is why he had undermined the judiciary and hollowed out civil society for the last decade.
He is also a racist mass murderer and Old Testament waving political Zionist who regards Palestinian arabs as squatters and believes in Israeli (not Jewish) exceptionalism. He believes it partly because he has experienced seven decades of Israel - as a rogue nuclear state - being given arms, money and total diplomatic cover by the USA and the west as it ignores international law and UN resolutions at every turn.
Now he is in the happy position of having a US President in his pocket and with his ‘war’ on Iran distracting world attention again from his apartheid, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide.
When a barbaric theocratic state like Iran commits crimes against humanity it faces sanctions and diplomatic isolation (or worse). When Israel acts that way it gets cover, more arms, a servile and supportive western press, cheerleading from Washington, London and Berlin, and no consequences!
But I expected nothing else from you. You have more in common with the Israeli and Iranian leaders than with their victims, continue to support ethnic cleansing and war crimes, and see the world through the prism of a book of stone age fantasies.
Well put sir:thumbup:Quote:

There were thousands of Jewish people yet again marching in London on Saturday for Palestine - as part of the Jewish Bloc, as individuals identifying themselves as holocaust survivors (or children of) or as members of other delegations. Jewish opponents of Israel’s actions in Gaza and of the political ideology behind that have been a major part of the Palestine solidarity movement from the start - 27 or 28 national marches since October 2023 - and always amongst the platform speakers at the end.Quote:

they've been saying that Iran is trying to make a nuclear weapon for as long as I can remember.
surely if they'd really wanted to they won have done it by now.

Unfortunately for them lots of the top people involved in the programme have been very clumsy. Allowing their cars to overheat and blowup, or keeping explosives at home and blowing up, one of their scientists managed to get himself shot by a robot. Very short lifespan for the average Iranian nuclear scientist.Quote:
