Israel are going to start WWIII

It’s the Middle East, name a time there wasn’t war there

Hopefully the next Chinese virus will finish humanity off for good; world peace. Until of course the gorilla fight the chimpanzee for global domination, but as an optimist I'm hoping for an enlightened orangutan hedgemony.

I hope they settle their differences like Christians

By comparison to Europe? Any time before the existence of the state of israel. If the middle east is unstable, it's because a violent, fanatical cult was parachuted in there to fight to the death to "take back" a "homeland" which never really existed.

The people who were actually living there for a hundred generations naturally objected to the cultist invasion. All those Hollywood fantasy movies about aliens invading the earth and building an alien world over the graves of the human inhabitants? That is just the average Palestinian experience.

You need to invest in a history book, or dozen

Nah, not the ones you have read anyway.

You shouldn’t have any difficulty then naming a period of let’s say one generation of 25-30 years where there wasn’t conflict in this part of the world.

The Ottomans controlled the middle east from the early 1500s to the end of WW1 in the early 1900s. By comparison to the Thirty Years War, The Eighty Years War, The French Wars of Religion, The Italian Wars, the Anglo-Spanish war, the Thirteen years war, the War of the Three Kingdoms, the Spanish-Portuguese War, the Franco-Spanish war, the Anglo-Dutch wars, the war of the Holy League, the Nine Years War, the Great Northern War…I'm still just just in the very early 1700s and skipping over a lot of wars and conflicts.

The middle east was relatively peaceful for many centuries. Until the violent cultists of israel were parachuted into it with a mission to conquer new state. The last century has seen an alien invasion of the region, and terrible crimes against humanity against it's inhabitants. It is weird to demonise people as violent for resisting an invasion.

Well, you've got the dozen history books claiming the region has never seen peace. I don't. You list out all the wars fought in the region of currently referred to as israel uninterrupted between 1500 to 1948.

It's your claim the region was incredibly violent at all times so its okay for the israeli regime to be incredibly evil today. Prove it.

My comment to which you replied was about the Middle East, neither have I mentioned Israel

Now you are trying to shift the goal posts having realised “oh **** the Middle East has always been a dumpster fire” and hence not being able to name a quarter of century of peace in the Middle East

You are either being disingenuous, or your reading comprehension is as bad as your history

Speaking of which perhaps the Palestinians and Lebanese should invite the Turks, French and Brits back to lord over them, happy days those were

The Ottomans’ version of peace required each successor to murder all his potential male heirs to end the constant fratricidal rebellions that had been the norm until then.

There were also regular uprisings from other quarters too.

So maybe not much more peaceful than Europe - more a different way of doing things.

Hitler tried that with them

So all the groups (and their backers) that have been attacking Israel are totally blameless in all of this?

Yet it isn't the Jews or Israelis causing all these terrorist attacks around Europe. It wasn't the Jews who flew two airplanes into the twin towers either. So who are the real terrorists here? I don't want any innocent people being killed but Hamas and Hezbollah are Islamic terrorist organizations. Israel has every right to try and put them out of commission imo.

Well they don't kill people for being gay in Israel. Muslims and Christians live in Israel as well. Would a Jew, Christian or gay person be welcome amongst the Palestinians? There was Jewish settlers in that area long before the Arabs arrived. btw There was never a Palestinian state. It was a geographic area. It's the equivalent of calling Antarctica a country imo. Can you actually name me an historic Palestinian leader from before the era of television?

There is no doubt the most violent continent / Region in human history is Europe from the west coast of Ireland to the Ural Mountains in Russia. Thats where most of the dispicable acts of hatred and violence in human history has occurred . And the current crisis in the Middle East is as a result of fall out from extremely depraved inhumane violence in Europe during ww2.

the point being that Iran was far more interested in watching Iraq to have any time for Israel.

What would boards be without WW3 threads? Love it.

It won't die down.Netanyahu intends to evict all Palestinians from Israeli territory and from seized territories.The Irish still manage to hold resentment against England as will the people evicted by BiBi.

Why won't you all stop pointing out that Israel is a terrorist state? 😭

Doubt it, Hamas likely got them first.

Why not put sanctions on them or is that not allowed by Uncle Sam ?

Lad at the pro jihad march last Saturday in Cork was on about Israel occupying the banks and behind the crash in 2008.
