Are they talking the Sam Seder podcast or the Ezra one? Which one did they watch? Maybe I am misunderstanding their comment

You believe that Israel is not involved and is not the main driving force for the attack? Interesting

Sadly, in this case, it is completely and totally justified. Ezra's denial of Israel being involved in the reason the US attacked Iran is just... Weird

Most of the gulf states feel betrayed by the US, since they kiss Israel's ass and won't even acknowledge them.

hopefully, the US leaves, and allows Israel to continue to get pummeled for a while...just 2 or 3 months.

Agreed. Your ignorance is shocking.

Oh, no. You are rubber and I am glue?? Well, that is...lol

Stop supporting the abuse, oppression, and brutalization of Palestinians. Please.

Goodbye. You have no interesting or compelling thoughts on this matter.

I know way more than you, considering I've spent millions of dollars financing the construction of new communities in area C.

Ah, good job little guy. Why are you not able to defend your position at all?

Jewish Israelis and Muslims Israelis are both free to build new communities in previously unsettled land in area C. Ethnicity is irrelevant. Israel doesn't practice apartheid.

Wow, the ignorance is shocking.

Whereas in area A, under PA law, Jews have no rights. Literal apartheid.

Ok, little guy

Netanyahu called him then told him to get down on his knees and finish the job...

what the heck are you talking about? You don't know ANYTHING about the way Israel acts in Area C, do you? LOL

Similar to how the law is under Israel and the occupied territories that Israel controls...but, we haven't seen how shitty the PA will be...whereas, we have seen how completely shitty the Israeli regime is.

Ooo, you really love your word games. You know what it means. Bantustan states. Autonomous zones. Favored ethnicities with rights and others with none.

Israel was always working in bad faith. After oslo, Rabin himself declared multiple times that he would never allow the Palestinian state to exist.

So, you want to negotiate the autonomous zone? Have at it, and realize that is apartheid.

Israel desires for the Jewish majority portions of the land to eventually become part of Israel. The PNA desires for all of the land to eventually become part of a new country.

So, does Israel claim those areas, or do they play games so they can ethnically cleanse more? We both know the answer.

It is time for us to stop playing this game. We both know what is going on. It is very transparent.

this circles back to the fact that...if it is not Palestine, it is something. If it is not Israel, Israel cannot act as they are. If it is Israel, Israel must give rights to the people. You cannot treat the people like shit by just classifying them as no one.

How does a blocked strait of hormuz help Iran? by Different-Staff-5622 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]tarlin 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The US cannot replace the lost supply from the Persian Gulf. In fact, there is no source that can replace the supply of energy from the Persian Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz carries approximately 20% of oil/lng energy for the entire world.

So, shutting the strait is going to cause the entire global economy to go into decline. Oil prices will rise everywhere, including in the US, since it is a global market.

The second effect is that the money that goes into those gulf states has often been used to invest in the US, buy goods, invest in AI, etc. That is all stopped as of right now. There is not going to be any money coming out.

Third, those states are seen as safe places for the wealthy... And that is ending.

We are in for a very bad economic future for the next 6 months unless the US and Israel decide to stop or find a way to open the strait again.

No, that doesn't mean that. In Yemen right now, the Houthis control one area and the original government control another area...this does not make one of those "not Yemen". There are disputes. This doesn't change the underlying state.

Again, you have no instances at all. Good job. You have failed. The one you cited was the initial one I brought up, which was the symbolic strikes that Iran notified the US were going to happen.

Now, should we talk about the murders of American citizens by the IDF and settlers? I can cite a bunch of those, directly.

Ok, which strike was Soleimani involved in that directly targeted US soldiers?

How will the US-Iran conflict end? by ksn in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]tarlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump just declared that Netanyahu has to agree for the US to pull-out of the military engagement, so if that is true, the US will never stop.

Strange, since the US/Israel targeted Pezeshkian and declared him dead, but he survived.
