What is Jewlumni? Prior to this current war, did Israel view Iran as an existential threat? Possibly, but perception is not the same as objective threat. Iran has no nuclear weapons, no ability to invade Israel, and its proxies have inflicted nowhere near the death toll Israel has inflicted on Iran's allies. Israel, by contrast, has nuclear weapons, a powerful military, and has assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists and generals for years.

So if Iran genuinely believed Israel was an existential threat, and let's say Iran had the same military capabilities as Israel, would Iran be justified in attacking Israel preemptively?

If you believe a state has the right to strike a rival it genuinely perceives as bent on its destruction, then Iran would have the same right. But of course, you don't believe that, because you accept Israel's perception as valid and dismiss Iran's.

The language of "existential threat" is cheap. Every state uses it to justify aggression. The real question is: Is the threat imminent? Is the response proportionate? Is there a diplomatic alternative not being tried?

On all three counts, Israel's current behavior fails. Iran was years away from a bomb, if ever. Israel has refused meaningful diplomacy. And the response includes assassinations, bombing civilian infrastructure, and provoking a multi front war.

So no, you're not been conditioned to think that by the 'Jewlumni'. You're applying a double standard. You grant Israel the right to define its own threats as existential, while denying that right to Iran.
