Iran vs Israel

This has been coming since forever and a day due to lying politicians so why anyone seems surprised or wants to focus on who started Sabre rattling first is mind boggling. How far back do peope want to go with the finger pointing. Innocent adults and CHILDREN get caught up in all of this but oh no, we can't have them in our countries. It's horrifying! And no amount of finger pointing will make it go away. I still can't get the image of little kids getting sprayed down out of my head. How on earth did they deserve any of this, regardless of what their ethnicity is. It's true devastation. All ego driven from the top down.
those who are against israel should remember that it has it's back to the wall , or the sea rather . it's total territory is hardly larger than my city mumbai/bombay and it's suburbs put together . so it's reaction to any hostilty to it's existence has to be necessarily an exaggerated response , otherwise it's enemies would push every israeli into the sea within no time . israel does not have the luxury to have the measured policies of countries with vast territories . any hint of softness and it would be gone in no time .
Tensions rising, luckily Iran seems to be stepping down from further escalation. At this point Israel would obliterate Iran if they keep pulling sh*t. Hopefully in the near future Israel can align closer with Saudi to ensure middle eastern soveirgnty. I've had 2 Saudi roomates, and while they don't love Israel, they HATE persians. Enemy of my enemy is my friend

That’s a more fair point we could discuss- my post was in response to the idea of this conflict being over a 7 year old (or anyone) throwing rocks. THis is a dual Sided military conflict. To be completely honest I don’t care if Israel striked first, and countries striking US is an unfair comparison as the US never stated we wanted to wipe a country off the face of the earth. Israel is fighting a tyrannical government who funds the most anti-Semitic political group (Hezbollah) since the Nazis. These groups threaten Israel’s existence on a daily basis. And it’s not about country it’s about race. When Abbas recently stated that Jews deserved the holocaust it’s clear this has gone beyond a geo political conflict long ago. So no, I don’t care if Israel finds it necessary to pre emptively strike one of these anti-Semitic sh*t hole, dictator funding, sharia law Islam fundamentalist countries

That fact that this post got 3 rep points really tells me all I need to know. You don't even care who's doing what. You just like seeing bombs go off. Cuz you know... they deserve it. And only we get to decide who deserves it. Right?

15/19---remember this number . 15 of the 19 perpetrators of 9/11 were saudis . so they are hardly friends of the USA or the west .
Saudi is FAR from perfect, but they have come a long ways from 15 years ago. Unlike Egypt or Iran they’re moving forward not backwards

I’d be happy to actually debate who’s right and wrong in this @Powdered Water
I would ask just one question though: Do you believe Israel has a right to exist as a soviergn nation?

I'm one of the three that repped Donnie if I recall correctly so I take umbrage to that comment, PW.

Isn't it interesting that Iran gets attacked not long after they drop the dollar? And do you ever watch anything other than mainstream news? I feel like we're not going to get very far if you're going to keep regurgitating this war mongering crap that we see on TV. Can you watch this video and then try to convince me that Israel is different somehow than all these other menacing and terrifying other countries you've mentioned? Or are gonna tell me this is fake news?

the liberal constitution at least makes it different from other countries in the region .

Israel anticipated the violence (they know many of their neighbors have sworn their destruction).
So Israel gave out warning to the Palestinians in advance of the U.S. embassy being moved, expressing that they would defend their border and that lives would be put in jeopardy if people decided to become violent. As usual the violence by the "protesters" arose and Israel first tried to dissipate the violent hordes with tear gas, but when the attackers began throwing Molotov cocktails and charging the border en masse and bearing arms, Israeli forces opened fire (as they warned might happen) to protect their border and their people.
Lets just imagine for a moment what might have happened to innocent people in Israel (Muslims, Jews, Christians and others) had thousands of rioting Palestinians armed with axes, knives, guns, and incendiary devices were just allowed to enter when they were determined to destroy anyone in their path?
Here's the thing: Israel gave warning, yet Hamas, using loud speakers, urged their brainwashed zealots into a suicide attack (once again, showing the value the radical Hamas terrorist organization puts on the lives of the people it claims to represent - just as they took millions in humanitarian aid that Israel gave them for medical supplies, shelter and food for the poor which Hamas used to build tunnels so that their terrorists could invade Israeli homes and slaughter families).

How do you think gays are treated in Israel? Tel Aviv is the most gay friendly city in the world
On the contrary do you believe you can be openly gay in Gaza or Iran? There's a fundamental difference for you PW

Israel's territory has grown far beyond the original 1947 United Nations partition:
By the way, in 2013, out of 169 UN countries who voted for Israel to return to it's planned 1947 borders only Israel, US and Canada plus 3 small island nations voted no.
One of the main reasons why there is still no peace in the area is because Israel refuses to recognize Palestinian lands and continues to advance it's occupation over lands the United Nations set for Palestine.
In my opinion the US's diplomacy should act tougher and put Israel in it's place and force an agreement between the two parties. Perhaps the main reason why the US looks to the other side when Israel occupies foreign lands is because the US is home of most Jews that live outside of Israel.

Should they have just stood by and let them in to start murdering people in the streets?
If your job was to secure your border and defend your homeland along with the innocent citizens it was your job to protect and your own family, and you were given a weapon to do so, and an army of violent hostiles were tearing down the gates, swearing to destroy you, your children and wipe you, your friends and your family off the map, what would you do?
Should border cops or military just say, "Hey, c'mon in! I'll just stand here and let you start murdering people - there's a preschool a couple miles down on the left if you feel like killing some toddlers in the name of your god today and a hospital with lots of people who can't run away that you can set on fire! I'll just watch until one of you slits my throat! Thanks for your cooperation!"
