    Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can’t control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That’s just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they’re not that stupid.

        The riff-raff are the true believers (in Israel, most being brainwashed since childhood with racial supremacist beliefs).

        The leadership are just Sociopaths.

        Sociopaths do what they do, no matter how abhoring, for their own personal gain and satisfaction, and dying from radiation poisoning ain’t good or satisfying.

          ROFL I cannot take anyone seriously when they claim Israelis are brainwashed since childhood

          Utter rubbish. You wanna see brainwashing? Search YouTube for “Palestinian children’s show”, 6 year old girls talking about the “glory of martyrdom” (aka how awesome it is to be a suicide/homicide bomber). THAT is what brainwashing since childhood looks like

            That doesn’t mean what Israel is doing isn’t brainwashing. You know, maybe multiple things bad?

            Also, congrats to Israel on creating conditions necessary for the rise of radicalism by forcing misery so bad people would rather become terrorists.

        I’m sure some people want it to happen, but Netanyahu isn’t suicidal. He’s not going to destroy Gaza just so he can die of radiation sickness.

          There’s no doubt that he went into Palestine to distract from the fact that he declared himself supreme dictator just a few months prior. It’s difficult to opposse a populist wartime leader

            I’ve been saying the same thing. He needs a forever war to maintain dictatorial powers. He’s not going to risk that either.

      It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.

      It’s almost poetic, really.
