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.

America has plenty of Nazis and war junkies, but at least in this particular case, most people are opposing the war.

It is a minor detail. An incredibly minor, insignificant detail. The US and Israel are in this war together

You're jumping from "The US and Israel are the same" so you can blame Israel on something the US did, and "Israel is worse" when asked why you aren't judging them equally.

You’re latching on to whatever insignificant detail But if

allows you to defend Israel

If you would actually try to understand what I'm saying, you could see I'm not defending Israel, but defending Israelis.

denounce it’s critics as antisemitic.

I didn't say you were antisemitic, I said one of your arguments is very close to an argument used by antisemites. I also tried to address said argument regardless, which blows a hole through the argument I'm trying to deflect criticism.

Do Iranians get to be afraid of Israel’s nukes?

Of course they do. And if a survey showed that most Iranians support a war with Israel, I wouldn't try to paint them as war junkies. I already said as much regarding Palestinians here. Though I have a feeling Iranians are probably more afraid of getting gunned down at a protest or being beaten for not covering their hair. It's a good thing that isn't Israels doing, otherwise you'd have to show the same moral outrage for that too.

All parties involved (Iran, the US and Israel) are in this situation because each country is led by corrupt idiots, religious nuts and egomaniacs that think using violence will help them stay in power. From those three, I give Iranians the most credit because they at least didn't vote for their psychos.

My turn to ask a question - What rights do the Jewish people get as far as living in a sovereign country? Or is any act of violence against any Jewish Israeli is justified? Before you'll try to twist my question - I'm not saying Israel is free to do anything, just asking if you think it's free to do something.

You lost every ounce of credibility the moment you dropped that “blood libel” accusation.

Please point out any credibility you were willing to give me before.
