The man who cried ‘bomb’. For more than 30 years, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been telling the world that Iran was on the brink of creating a nuclear weapon. The UN disagreed but Isreal used this ageing pretext to justify its ongoing attacks on Iran.

    It’s anti Semitic to point this out. Also, why do you love Iran? Don’t you know they make women wear veils?

    For his tale, if they don’t have one already is just because he has spent 33 years of his life working and fighting against Iran’s regime.

    Spend 33 years attacking a nation because they might have unauthorized nukes while the entire planet knows for a fact you have unauthorized nukes…

    Is probably the surest way to make sure they develop nukes.

    Because if they do develop them and threaten to use them, it’s the only way to stop you from attacking them. If Iran has nukes, then Israel has no reason to attack and a good reason to pursue peace for once in its entire existence.

    They’ll change their tune when/if Iran can actually wipe them off the map, but not a day before.

        I’m guessing this is in regards to the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

          I mean, yes, while I want nuclear weapons to go the way of the waste bin, just as much as everyone else. You cant expect anybody to see whats happened to Ukraine and think, yeah, let’s get rid of our nuclear capability. Nuclear deterance does seem to work.

        By the French in secret actually…

        They wanted to use Israel as a proxy against Egypt, so they helped them develop nukes almost immediately after Israel was created.

        If France launched a nuke at Egypt, they’d get one back.

        So the plan was Israel would use a nuke if it came to it, then take the consequences while Europe escaped unscathed.

    Iran getting a nuke has always been imminent to the story necessary to Netanyahu, to him we are just in the last few frames of the last scene before it has cut to the next plot point, the reason he has been acting like an angry hate baby for all this time is the story has been paused (because it is a shit story) and we just unpaused it.

    Well, Joe Biden really did by giving Netanyahu complete free reign and then doing such a bad job that he handed all that power and potential directly to one fascist Donald J. Trump.

      If you want to play the blame game, the blame falls on everyone. The right is pushing to make things actively worse, the center is willing to just put up with whatever the current status quo is, and the left would rather spend all their time attacking one another for being the wrong brand of left, rather than actually go out and do something productive.
