I never mentioned Iranians nor did I say Iranians are Arabs. I'm well aware they are not Arabs. Their only hate for Israel is a religious one, not about land.

Boy, there's a stretch. And did Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois and Tennessee combine forces and try to wipe you off the map because you're in Missouri?

"see"


there you go. we have no basis for understanding. if you don't see Hezbollah as a terrorist organization we cannot communicate on the subject.


Iran attacked Israeli positions. Israel responded.


Israel's presence in the Golan Heights is a direct result of the long standing aggression of Syria. They are there because Syrian policy is the destruction of Israel as a nation. That is and has long been their stated and open policy. period.

What would you do if somebody you barely knew, out of guilt, gave your property to another person?

Yes, you might have heard of something called The Civil War.

And don't forget, my holy book also says that I can occupy any other strategic high ground that I might want. So I am taking the Colorado rockies too.

Israel isn’t ALWAYS defending itself when they’re acting aggressively.

Please stop with the “poor little Israel” routine. Israel is fully responsible for a nice share of unnecessary shenanigans in the Middle East. They’re no less guilty than their neighbors.

That’s a stupid analogy.

Especially given how white people have treated black people historically.

Israel ain’t that rich and they’re just as brown as the people they’re supposedly oppressing. They’re basically the same people.

If Israel is so rich, then stop sending our tax money over there.

You have no idea who attacked whom. For all you know, Iran never fired a single shot at anyone. You weren’t there, and why should anyone take Israel’s word for it?

Does writing your own book that says God gave you something make it so?

Irael being just as brown makes the loony left seem even more like loony tunes for seeing them as white opressors.

But that is how they see it.

Nice but it has nothing to do with the current topic, nothing at all. And frankly I don't think anyone cares about your holy book, it has nothing to do with the Israel and the Middle East. Your analogy and comparison is a total failure.
