I don't know what the israelis are trying to do here...are they going to keep bombing Iran until they sign a nuclear deal promising not to develop nukes? What use is a contract like that if it is signed under duress? It makes no sense, unless they surrendered sovereignty in some abject way. Or are they trying to topple the government, do they really think that would work? Or is this because if they have air superiority they can block any missile attacks...so are they going to do that forever?

Israel has a clear objective, and it will accomplish at all cost.

to keep Bibi out of jail. it will manufacture crisis and genocides and destroy even itself in order to keep Bibi out of jail

Continue the war. Doesn't matter too much when and against who. Constant war is the only thing keeping Netanyahu in power. They're going to keep doing it as long as they can.

Yep, the issue here is genocide bibi. I found these articles about how he said exactly the same about invading Iraq:

https://www.vox.com/2015/2/26/8114221/netanyahu-iraq-2002

“If you take out Saddam, Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region,” Netanyahu claimed. “And I think that people sitting right next door in Iran, young people, and many others, will say the time of such regimes, of such despots is gone.”

Especially considering that he's never the one that has to pick up the bill for instability and refugee crises. This fascist dickhead can't become an example to people who come after him.

Dont think for a second that Israel will ever be redeemed after Netanyahu is gone. This is not just a single guy acting erratically.

This is the whole of Israel. No exception

Remember how Ukraine trusted the UK and the US to defend it, if he gives away his nukes? Yeah...

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

They already signed that contract. This is just Israel attacking them anyway.

If the leaders of Iran see regime change on the horizon I have no doubt some nuclear material will go missing and a dirty bomb will be deployed somewhere.

It's for domestic consumption. Iran is the Big Bad in Israel, due to its support of Hamas, so the Israeli PM is chasing after brownie points from the electorate by hitting Iran over and over again.

Bloodthursty terrorists . They just like to kill the most number of civilians along military targets

That would be like Nazis when they attacked Poland, right?

Edit: I meant to say that would be like OTHER nazis.
