Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Being the same line of argument as your previous post only reframed and with a falacy of guilt by association thrown in, the argument was already refuted in my last post.

I mean, I suppose I could point out that this last post of yours relies on the idea that Muslims are all the same hence Israel is justified in attacking Palestinians because ... Iran.

But that would just be repeating myself, again and pointing out, again the racist "logic" used to tie all those actors together as "guilty as one" and hence "any of them can be targetted because the actions of any other make Israel be 'existentially threathened'".

I suppose I could also point out that "the country is both strong (has nukes and the support of the greatest military power of the world) and weak (is "existencially threatened") at the same time" is a very traditional Fascist cliché used to excuse aggression.

You're not exactly dispelling the whole a-lot-like-the-Nazis impression of Israel.

The existential threat is the ideology of every country surrounded Israel, one of which is actively trying to develop its own nuclear weapons and which has sworn it will use them against Israel if it does.

That's a lot of words to say absolutely nothing intelligent or that you didn't pull out of your ass.
