      Israel is a settler colonialist state using pseudoscience and “Zionism” which is just the same repackaged ideology that justified the extermination of the indigenous population in the United States. Israel is a settler colonialist project that’s main objective is the systematic extermination and land absorption of the Middle East. It’s Manifest Destiny all over again

      If you have a better way for Israel to forestall elections and reckoning for their failure to keep their ghetto under control we would love to hear it. Because using the epstein blackmail to force the US into starting our new forever war, Persian Gulf War III, is what we are working with here.

      And there will be no shortage of pretexts to reopen hostilities no matter of peace agreements afterwards, hence the forever part. We had to cross over to hit a militant group, terror group, whatever. Every time Israel’s leaders’ approval ratings are down or they are facing a vote they can pretext up another round of Iran war.

      The beauty of it, for them, is that Iran is nearly powerless to respond. They’ve a non existant airforce, rudimentary missiles and air defense, and are fundamentally compromised in their communications on a base level allowing near total visibility in what they are doing. Satelites, drones, the air forces, it’s fun killing people that can’t fight back! /s

      If we want to see this stop, we need a revolution. We need to build a worker-led anti-imperialist movement.

        Yeah… i’ve seen how that works. Workers are incredibly corrupt, like most people.

        We need something that delivers transparency with intelligence and a huge amount of social empathy as it’s core. Can’t work in this world. Globalism is here but fragmented feifdoms of horror remain all over, even in the wealthiest and best educated areas. To prop up one nation on the grounds of social empathy at the cost of others invites the same kind of problem we’re in today, and there’s simply not enough to go around with 8 billion people.

        I don’t have a solution to fix the world’s problems, if I did I would use it. Instead all I can do is push for some kind of regulatory action. Again, consequences for shareholders. There should be the biggest penalty for unethical, immoral and illegal actions taken against humanity by the people who have a stake in the business. Leadership comes from the top, and if they are unable to avoid horrors, perhaps they shouldn’t have the assets that allow them to lead.

          thats just defeatist drivel.

          organize with your fellow workers instead of making excuses to let your country kill us.

          Anarchism is the solution. We have enough resources and land for everyone to have a fantastic quality of life. We just need to stop allowing people to rule over us. Make everyone equal and corruption is no longer possible.

      There used to be a satirical musical group called the Capitol Steps that sang a song called “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” sung to the tune of the Beach Boys Barbara Ann. This was at 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Covid killed the group (as in made it no longer viable because people quit coming to see them, not actually killing them).

      I wish they’d try to make a comeback.

        We do have the receipts so we know they did have them, Iraq.

        Of course we also knew he used them all on his own people if not the Iranians, as we supported him in the Iraq/Iran war, one of the bloodiest wars in history, I think over a million deaths from it. Hussein was fond of human wave attacks on machine gun nests and fortified lines.

        Supporting Israel and the US attacking them cements them in power as they rally around the flag. And even if he did get overthrown, nothing better would result. More likely is they kill him in an airstrike, and nothing better will result. Anyone supporting this war is a fool and a traitor to the common good. Ignorance is no excuse.

        Many people do, but there are legitimate concerns about

        1. if an invasion could even actually achieve this,
        2. the humanitarian cost of it (aka A LOT of innocent people dying or losing everything),
        3. the long term effects of destabilizing a whole region and
        4. the damage to the rules based global order caused by yet another war of aggression from a side that is supposed to support and not undermine that order.
