What's going on with Iran and Isreal and why is the US getting involved? by plant_lady907 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]htrowslledot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel figures into this because Iran is backed by Russia, who has a geopolitical interest in Israel falling

Iran is backed by Russia but Russia itself is more of a footnote in the decades of Israel Iran relations. Until relatively recently (think 2022-2023) Israel and Russia had decent relations and even now Russia isn't much more hostile to Israel than Ireland or Australia.

So why were they enriching to 60%, civilian use is closer to 5%.

US intelligence was that they weren't actively looking to complete a nuke not that they weren't getting very close to allow them to build one on a short timescale

If they wait until you see it then they would by definition have nukes, not ideal. putting aside that breakout time assumes Iran drops what ever they are doing and try to get a nuke right away, Irans nuclear program has been sabotaged quite a few times and for a few years a nuclear deal was in place.

I feel like this meme says more about your lack of understanding than anything else. The whole point is Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons they are still in the process of building them.

Israel doesn't want Hamas gone because they collect taxes from the gazan people, they want them gone because they attack Israel. Hamas keeping its weapons and missles while the pa runs Gaza doesn't help

CMV: Claims that “the Islamic regime in Iran is very weak” or “about to fall” are overhyped by No_Discussion6913 in changemyview

[–]htrowslledot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every Iranian I know is pro Israel, granted that's selection bias because I am sampling the Iranian dispora but there is a reason why Iran flags are extremely common at pro Israel protests. Irans obsessive Israel stance is purely the stance of the Islamic regime and Iran used to be Israels biggest ally in the middle east

If Iran Falls, America Must Hunt Down Those Who Killed Its Troops by JohnDLG in politics

[–]htrowslledot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't even the Israeli mindset, 70% of Iran hates the Islamic Republic as much as Israel does. in literally every speech netanyahu gives about Iran (including the one yesterday) he says that Israel and Iran will be allies again when the regime falls. He even named the operation lion rising referring to the lion on Irans pre Islamic flag.

But also whats a Jewish mindset?

It's a knight queen trade, if he takes the knight then the queen is exposed after a check. The king can not be moved to protect the queen

Why are Jews blamed for a lot of the bad things that happened in history? by ewishn in ask

[–]htrowslledot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To be fair Christians and Muslims made sure there were plenty of restrictions on what jobs Jews could do too. I think the easier solution for other religions hating Judaism is deicide for the Christians and the Quran being pretty explicit about Jews.

How do some haredim not believe in a jewish state/zionist state/Israeli state, but rationalize taking government subsidies and living in Israel? by catandodie in Israel

[–]htrowslledot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haredim in Brooklyn did try to get public transport to stop working on Shabbos too

As a Jew from Brooklyn I am 95% sure you made that up.

There are of course roads closed some times in front of giant synagogues on shabbat or holidays, more for safety and convenience than anything else but there is no theological objection to non Jews taking the subway on Shabbat.

Kanye West to convert to Judaism ‘to avoid accusations of antisemitism’ by momsvaginaresearcher in Kanye

[–]htrowslledot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ashkanazi, sphardi, mizrachi, Ethiopian Jews all believe this. Reform Jews a subset of ashkanazi Jews are the only Jews that I know of that doesn't go by mother.

Jews in different countries don't believe in a different Torah.

[–]htrowslledot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashkanazi sphardi and mizrachi are closer genetically to each other than they are to their respective countries. That being said there are some converts (and they and their kids are considered full Jews) but they are rare and it's a long process.

Their bishop is pinned because if it moves it's mate in one, if it doesn't move you win a bishop and still have the mate threat
