    Sadly, even taking about issues like this one outside of !worldnews@lemmy.world will get you called out for spreading “Republican propaganda” (as you can’t make it seem that Biden and his allies want to expand the current war). I hate to sound like a doomer but bleak times (are most likely) ahead.

    This guy’s weird. He’s been in coalition with Bibi, which is where he got defense minister, but he’s also hated Bibi enough to be in coalition with the United Arab list. Mostly he seems to despise haredi enough to stay in opposition, and they are lynchpins to Bibi’s current government.

      Yes, everyone will die, but right-wing ideologues are not smart enough to look this far ahead.

        Oh, it’s worse and weirder than that. More than a few hardcore evangelicals are excited by the prospect, because they think it’s going to be the literal biblical Rapture, and that they’ll be Saved.

        That’s not a joke or a sarcastic comment. It’s completely serious.

        We ignore the insanity of these theocratic fascists at our peril.

      WWII was technically a nuclear war. So yes, a nuclear war is winnable, if only one side has nuclear weapons.

      But anyway this guy is an idiot. A nuclear strike on Iran would still be stupid even when they don’t have nuclear weapons (yet).

    Nothing suprising here, didn’t Financial Minister Smotrich say that Gaza should be nuked months ago?

      Trump’s team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:

      Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.

        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.

          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.

            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.

    Well a nuclear war would be one way to end the conflicts in that region. Therefore he isn’t technically wrong in that it would stop the Iranian program. All that needs to happen is to convert 411 million men, women, and children into radioactive dust to make sure that there is finally peace. Also, it seems to be what the local population wants as far as I can tell, meaning it would be democracy in action. Don’t worry if it happens, skydaddy will take care of them.

    anyway. did you know that theran is standing on soil that rather sooner than later will crumble and take the city down? climate change sped this up, but stupid “government” doesn care. large cracks around all of the city, sinkholes in theran. it is not worth bombing a country thats doomed already by nature. wait it out. good will happen.

    Did anyone read the article? Do you realize how many unhinged nutjobs say crazy shit in parliaments and US congress every day?

    This is click bait. Nothing to do with Israeli policy
