Void boi. Balkan bear-man living in exile in the decadent West. Union thug. Scientific socialist. Neurodivergent. I'm sorry for whatever it was that I said.

Nora Loreto is a big QS supporter. Tbh I was also pro-QS when I lived in Montreal, though I was never a separatist.

There was this obscure rumour 15 years ago that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was secretly Jewish lol. This was based on his surname at birth being Sabbaghian which, according to one very trashy article I read, was a Persian Jewish name.

Other people have made this point, but Iran's current leadership has been fairly cautious and has favoured diplomacy. Decapitation could just as easily result in a more hardline faction taking over.

Israel's track record on human rights and belligerent statements is just as bad, with the exception that Israel has backed up its statements with a long and sordid history of military aggression, culminating in the genocide on Gaza. That Israel has nuclear weapons is genuinely terrifying.

I have some bad news: this attack isn't going to make them like Israel more.

It was, in fact, insanely belligerent for Israel to attack Iran, wipe out its top military leadership, target generals and nuclear scientists in their apartments in the middle of the night, and topple an entire apartment building killing 70 civilians.

I've heard from my contacts in Israel that Israelis are dancing in the streets now that Iran has counter-attacked on the unpopular and brutal Netanyahu regime. They are ready to overthrow their government, they just need a few more ballistic missiles to hit IDF HQ in Tel Aviv.

It's just funny that you immediately make criticizing Israel's behaviour an existential question, as though all of the awful things it's doing are essential to its very existence.

Right, only someone steeped in Zionist mythology can understand why the occupation, settlements, ethnic cleansing, genocide and invasions of multiple countries are actually good and necessary.

They have a good intelligence network. They're also willing and able to do crazy shit like assassinate high-level Iranians. On balance I think Israel is a net liability to the US, but I wouldn't say they offer nothing.

I, too, believe Benjamin Netanyahu's justification for starting a new war to "liberate" the Iranian people on the basis that their regime is developing WMDs.

Frankly, IDF headquarters is one of the most deserving targets in the world right now. A shame it's in the middle of Tel Aviv.

What's remarkable is how much effort western states (esp. the US), and their Arab allies (e.g. Egypt) have put into ensuring that Israel is insulated from these consequences.
I hate to break it to people, but for Israel to stop the genocide, it will *need* to suffer consequences of some kind.

So no, I do not stand with Israel.
Israel does not have the right to defend itself from the consequences of its 58-year occupation, its illegal settlement enterprise, its system of apartheid, its ethnic cleansing and its genocide.

Most importantly, ISRAEL IS CURRENTLY COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA, and all of its foreign adventures are geared towards ensuring it can continue to commit genocide without consequences.
I don't care how bad Iran's human rights record is, frankly, because ISRAEL IS COMMITING GENOCIDE IN GAZA.

I have no investment in the survival of the Israeli state as such, but like I said, I am concerned for Israeli, Palestinian, Lebanese, etc civilians. And Israel's current course of expanding wars is, in fact, very bad for all of them!

I've been reading a lot of delusional pro-Israel takes here today.
The attack on Iran will likely push its regime to develop nuclear weapons. It will likely convince other states that Israel can't be reasoned with and the US can't be trusted.
In the long term, this is bad for Israel.

Israel can't eliminate or neutralize all of its enemies militarily. They're doing what apartheid South Africa tried to do to its neighbours, which is a great way of making yourself very unpopular in your neighbourhood. Failed foreign adventures were a big part of what brought down that regime.

Waging a forever war against the Palestinians and expanding that into a war against Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran has not made Israelis safer.
I would much rather see diplomacy prevail, but the State of Israel and its US backers prefer violence, which will naturally invite violence in return.
comment in response to
post
I don't like the thought of Israeli civilians being hurt. I feel exactly the same way about Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian and now Iranian civilians, whom the IDF has brutalized to greater or lesser degrees.
The unfortunate reality is that Israel's actions put its own civilians at risk.

Some people really take every IDF claim as gospel. It's astonishing to me.

It would be very stupid of Canada (where I live) to do that. It would be even stupider if Canada used several waves of missiles to take out America's top military leaders and nuclear scientists in their apartments, killing 75 people in the process. It doesn't matter if they were nice people.

Everyone understands that Israel is America’s special little guy and gets to do whatever they want.

The question was really “why does the West permit Israel to have an undeclared nuclear arsenal without being a party to the NNPT while other countries (like Iran) that persue nuclear weapons are sanctioned and threatened?”. But it’s a rhetorical question, so your non-answer is just as applicable.

Probably not, but I think there would still be value in trying to go ahead with elections and forcing Israel to intervene and stop them.
