Israeli Exceptionalism

The EU did condemn the Israeli airstrike in Damascus.

Israel and Syria have been at a de facto state of war for decades.

Agreed, it's the only way Netanyahu stays in power. Plus, the clock is ticking for ISR in the event Trump becomes Predident again.

They will continue to target Israeli consulates. That has never changed.

Iran was a good friend of Israel prior to the Islamic revolution and the Ayatollahs coming to power.

Since then Iran has been on the war path and while Israel and America are it's main target, the rest of Europe is as well.

They are just as angry over gay pride in Dublin or Berlin as anything that Jews do.

Which is why so many in the West are talking up Iran.

I would prefer to see change from within, an attack from outside forces could work in the regimes behaviour.

Id say Supremacism rather than exceptionalism.

Netanyahu has Carte Blanche and he knows it.

A very dangerous position for the world to be in in when you have a reckless revenge seeking Western backed leader where no rules or boundaries apply .Netanyahu knows that whatever he does , he will be backed to the hilt by the USA and his Western colleagues

"Israel has a right to defend it self" as President Ursula von der leyden so chillingly put it as tens of thousands of kids become corpses

Looking forward myself to Iran stop talking about striking back and actually strike back.

Netanyahu can’t resist showing off. When the notorious traitor and Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard arrived in Israel, he was publicly greeted by Netanyahu at Ben Gurion airport. There was absolutely no need to add insult to injury like that given how much the US has done for Israel.

Standing back it looks like Israel is governed by fanatical Zionist religious fundamentalist scumbags. So not so different to Iran then.

Absolutely it should respond to October terrorism but any right thinking person can see murdering 20,000+ innocent children and their mothers will not destroy Hamas. It is commiting war crimes and objectively starving 2.5m people out of existence. It is on the precipice of losing Israel all its allies, except the fundamentalist religious right wing nuts in the US who are waiting on the second coming and in their deluded heads need carnage in Israel first before big Jeebus returns.

Religious claptrap on all sides.

Short term insanity for absolutely no gain. It is playing into the hands of Hamas. That's my objective step back.

Nope. It’s the fact that israel is using western weapons, backed by “moral” western leaders to commit this genocide.

Look at Russia, did half the damage, killed a lot less people in Ukraine yet sanctioned to the hilt. Kicked out of sporting competitions etc yet israel has had nothing done against it. Mealy mouthed words while being provided with the weapons to commit their war crimes.

It’s like a parent giving out to their child about bullying whilst handing them the rocks to throw at the kid they’re bullying.

Ukraine is still standing. Gaza is not. Compare deaths in both. It’s called a comparison. I’m not backing Russia, just pointing out awkward facts to the Zionists.

It was. The destruction of Gaza. You can sugar coated anyway you like but Gaza would not have seen the destruction today before Oct 7. Then Oct 7 came well you know and everyone else knows.

Exactly. It keeps the maniac in power. Lives mean absolutely nothing to him.

Well that's just about right. Jews were murdered on Kristallnacht, and murdered again on October 7th. Both were anti Jewish pogroms. The difference being that in 2023, unlike 1938, the Jews had decided they were no longer prepared to be murdered without fighting back.

Something I came across recently -

Israel committing Genocide and War Crimes against Palestinians did not start in 2023. There was violence against Palestinians every day. You can't be defending yourself while occupying a country.

But concentrate on an isolated incident by an Islamist in Europe. All murders are evil regardless of who commits them.

People are on the streets in western countries because the governments in western countries are either backing Israel or doing very little to try to mitigate their actions.

Our governments don't support ethnic cleansing in China so why protest on the streets.

Israel do have a right to defend themselves but their actions in Gaza over the years and especially now have always been to extreme. Civilian casualties have never been a major concern.
