(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.

This has been the case since their formation, and they have never shown any restraint, or understanding for said “moral duty”

You're using too broad a brush IMO.

I’m the parent that says, if you don’t stand up to a bully, nobody else will do it for you, and once they’re finished bullying you, they will keep bullying others.

From where I'm standing, you're the parent that says that if the bully is bigger, you should just bring a shiv to school and stab him.

And they should be scared shitless about Iran attacking them. Wouldn’t you?

Of course I would. And Israel is scared shitless of Hamas and Hezbollah launching rockets at cities, invading and mass murdering citizens. But still that doesn't mean everything it did is justified.

And that’s what they do during wartime. In “peacetime” they go underground and set up elaborate lobby groups like AIPAC and use agents like Epstein to play the long game, so when they do radical genocide like this, the media and the biggest military police force are all in their pocket.

Here's the thing, I could write "Wow, the ~~Jews~~ Zionist sure do control the media and politics!", but then you'll say "ha ha, what a Zionist apologist, you really have one argument". If it helps, I don't think that's specifically anti-Jewish sentiment, it's just a sub-set of "there's some group that we don't like that has un-proportional power and use it to do bad things".
