      Please explain how Israel attacking Iran is Joe Biden’s fault? He said the United States would not support a retaliatory strike against Iran’s retaliatory strike. All the blame falls directly on Netanyahu and the Israeli government.

        The US is Israel’s shield… Israel can only afford to be a belligerent bully bombing embassies because nobody wants to get involved in a war with the US. The US is enabling Israel’s worst behaviors.

          You’re right. Before this protection, they tried several times to wipe Israel off the map.

            Nope, they didn’t. Even the expression itself is the result of a deliberate mistranslation by pro-Israeli propagandists trying to bolster the completely bogus victim narrative of by far the most militarily powerful and active country in the region.

              Hmm, Iran calls for it constantly. Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan tried several times. You can’t just pretend history didn’t happen.

                Iran calls for it constantly

                Do you have a credible source on that? Because propagandists keep claiming that without backing it up with actual evidence that they’re not just making up whatever fits their narrative

                Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan tried several times.

                None of them anywhere near successfully and none of them in this millennium.

                You can’t just pretend history didn’t happen.

                And you can’t just greatly exaggerate decades old events and pretend that they represent an imminent and existential threat.

                I mean, you obviously CAN, since you just did, but you really shouldn’t.
