    Please explain how Israel attacking Iran is Joe Biden’s fault? He said the United States would not support a retaliatory strike against Iran’s retaliatory strike. All the blame falls directly on Netanyahu and the Israeli government.

      The US is Israel’s shield… Israel can only afford to be a belligerent bully bombing embassies because nobody wants to get involved in a war with the US. The US is enabling Israel’s worst behaviors.

        You’re right. Before this protection, they tried several times to wipe Israel off the map.

          Nope, they didn’t. Even the expression itself is the result of a deliberate mistranslation by pro-Israeli propagandists trying to bolster the completely bogus victim narrative of by far the most militarily powerful and active country in the region.

            Hmm, Iran calls for it constantly. Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan tried several times. You can’t just pretend history didn’t happen.

              Do you have a credible source on that? Because propagandists keep claiming that without backing it up with actual evidence that they’re not just making up whatever fits their narrative

              Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan tried several times.

              None of them anywhere near successfully and none of them in this millennium.

              You can’t just pretend history didn’t happen.

              And you can’t just greatly exaggerate decades old events and pretend that they represent an imminent and existential threat.

              I mean, you obviously CAN, since you just did, but you really shouldn’t.

                  An 11 year old article quoting deliberate mistranslations of the then prime minister does not an imminent, constant, and permanent threat make.

                  I’d say “nice try”, but that would be a lie.

                Turns out Wikipedia has a great article on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calls_for_the_destruction_of_Israel#:~:text=Ali Khamenei%2C Iran’s supreme leader,of Israel from the region”.

                I recommend checking the sources to verify it yourself.

                None of them anywhere near successfully and none of them in this millennium.

                Of course they were not successful, otherwise they would have wiped Israel off the map like their intended goal was. Also, your claim of not in this millennium is disingenuous. There are still plenty people alive to thought in those wars on both sides.

                And you can’t just greatly exaggerate decades old events and pretend that they represent an imminent and existential threat.

                I> mean, you obviously CAN, since you just did, but you really shouldn’t.

                I didn’t, that was you doing that. I was simply adding context to the person I was replying to.

                  Turns out Wikipedia has a great article on it:

                  Do you have any idea how biased an article has to be for Wikipedia to put that banner at the top of the article itself rather than just a section or somewhere on the talk page?

                  Also, your claim of not in this millennium is disingenuous. There are still plenty people alive to thought in those wars on both sides.

                  What kind of nonsense is that? By that standard, the Balkan war is still ongoing 🤦

                  I was simply adding context to the person I was replying

                  If by “adding context” you mean “repeating deliberately misleading to downright fraudulent propaganda slogans”, sure.

                    Any information that doesn’t follow your narrative is misinformation huh? That’s the tactic you’re going with to hide your own misinformation?

                    Those wars happened, those countries wanted to wipe Israel off the map. The US negotiated with them and gave most of them money to stop trying to destroy Israel. How about actually knowing history Instead of trying to come up with your own?

        You must be fucking confused if you think Netanyahu is Joe Biden’s “attack dog”. The Israeli government has spent the last 40+ years successfully coopting the United States government.

        What do you think those shifty mother fuckers would be doing in an election year if he came out against them? I agree they need to he brought to heel, but if you think that is going to happen given the existing externalities of global & US politics then you are living in a fantasy.

          “He has to support Genocide because israel controls US politics!”

          Biden could just ban the israel lobby instead how about that.
