Israeli protesters during an judicial overall protests outside the Knesset in Jerusalem, February 20, 2023. (Photo: Ilia Yefimovich/dpa via ZUMA Press/APA Images)The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.

Say Israel is a settler colonial power created by ethnically cleansing Palestinians and want to exterminate Palestinians either for religious or ethnic reasons and that Israel should unconditionally end settler colonialism by getting out of the west bank, east Jerusalem, the golan height and shabaa farms

Oh, I get it, you don't actually think I'm a bot or that I'm payed by the Israeli government for this. a "Hasbara bot" is your way of de-legitimizing anyone who doesn't fully agree with your stance on Israel. Kinda like the equivalent of "everything I don't like is woke" for MAGA.

No we think a Nazi is a Nazi.

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world -3 points 17 hours ago

You (I'm guessing, but fell free to correct me): Israel writes off every piece of criticism as antisemitic! What a dirty, bad faith dishonest tactic!

You when someone says some criticism against Israel is incorrect: NAZI!!!

All you did was lying to make look like israel is defending itself agsinst the people it colonize.

Why are you unable to say what i told you to say.

You are acting like colonization being bad is a matter of opinion

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world -3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Could you quote on lie I said?

(it might also worth pointing out Israel didn't colonize Iran)

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Iran seeking nuclear weapons and israel attscking Iran to defend itself . That's two dirty lies

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world -2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I back up the nuclear weapons claim with a reputable source, and never said Israel attacked Iran in self defense (What I said was it's reasonable for Israelis to support a war with Iran without being war junkies)

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Your source did not say iran was seeking a nuke. American inteligence and the fatwa by the sepreame leader himself shows that your claim is a dirty lie repeated by Netenyahu for decades.

What I said was it's reasonable for Israelis to support a war with Iran without being war junkies

No it is not reasonable. It the same goddamn thing with different wording. Every single goddamn government of israel voted by Israelis supported colonization. Israelis knows really well that they want to destroy Iran as a state so it can start the greater israel project with zero resistance

Your source did not say iran was seeking a nuke.

You're right, it said "Iran’s advances included enriching uranium to 60 percent, a level close to weapons-grade that has no practical civilian application, and deploying advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium more efficiently." They're probably just doing it as a prank. Maybe they'll open the centrifuges and fake snakes will pop out of them.

American inteligence

Look, I gave several links to my claims. At the very least try and provide a source instead of repeating the same things.

fatwa by the sepreame leader himself

Oh, awesome, the supreme leader of Iran pinky swore Iran isn't building a bomb.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

They was at 60% for years so if they want it they would have it years ago. You just a zionazi who repeat Netenyahu and trump lies.

They was at 60% for years

The Arms control association seems at the very least as a good starting off source. If you disagree with their assessment, feel free to link to other sources. I'm sure you'll get on it right after the citation about the American intelligence.

You just a zionazi who repeat Netenyahu lies

Right, I'm the one just repeating things mindlessly. On an unrelated note, calling me Nazi Zionist colonialist liar for 10 times didn't really get you anywhere, but I have a good feeling about the 11th time.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Since 2021 they have 60% enrichment . Trump teared the deal in 2018. And again it do not prove Iran was seeking a nuke. It would have taken only three weeks to go from 60% to 90%. You just a zionazi repeating Israel lies and manufacturing consent for this war of aggression

Only a zionazi still claim iran was seeking a nuke when no evidence that shows it

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world -2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Dude, that's hilarious, your own source disagrees with your conclusion:

"Iran has no civilian use or justification for its production of 60 percent enriched uranium, particularly at the level of hundreds of kilograms. Its rush to make much more, quickly depleting its stock of near 20 percent enriched uranium, which has a civilian use in research reactors, raises more questions. Even if one believed the production of 60 percent is to create bargaining leverage in a nuclear negotiation, Iran has gone way beyond what would be needed. One has to conclude that Iran’s real intent is to be prepared to produce large quantities of WGU as quickly as possible, in as few centrifuges as possible."

Not surprisingly, and in its understated style, the IAEA reiterated in this most recent report: “The significantly increased production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear-weapon State to produce such nuclear material, is of serious concern.”"

Yes, yes, I know - zionazi, lies, Netanyahu etc.

It would have taken 3 weeks to build a nuke. They did not. That's the only fact , the rest is speculation. Zionazi. Why do you still can't admit israel is a settter colonial power attacking iran to start the greater israel project
