    I agree. They’re not even worth the money and effort for us to attack. All we need to do is completely cut them off, seize their assets, hit a few key iron dome sites, then watch their neighbors exact a well deserved revenge.

    Israel and its citizens are mistakes, and it’s high time we fix that mistake.

      Bloodthirsty vibes from this aside, Israel and its warmonger culture is working exactly as it was intended from the start. At best it’s just a caricaturized version of the US, which makes sense considering both of those countries’ intimate ties since the beginning.

      “Solve” Israel and all anyone is doing is cutting off a branch when the rot starts at the roots. It would pretty much be a textbook example of the scapegoat mechanism. Obviously they aren’t innocent of anything, but solely removing their influence out of the equation will never change anything substantial.

        hard disagree, Israel is one of the greatest impediments to peace across the world. Even not counting the mass misery and mass murder they have committed, Without them in the middle east the place would be transformed and religious extremism would be less attractive to millions of people in many faiths.

          My point is that a large part of what led to Israel being the way it is are the western values and ideals it was established specifically in mind of, namely colonialism, imperialism, and western exceptionalism. Solely getting rid of them doesn’t handle any of the root causes like that.

            That’s not unfair, just pointing out that they have more than one long standing ally in the west.
