    You know what recently came to my mind…

    Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east. it’s one large military base that is supposed to pressure arab countries into giving their oil to the US. It’s “either you sell your oil in US dollar (which we can conveniently print at will) or … you know, Israel is your neighbor, and they have a ton of arms”. It’s an extortion scheme.

    This is why Israel is threatened by renewable energy. Because if the world is not dependent on oil, then Israel has no reason to exist, as the US won’t give them a lot of weapons anymore to conduct their extortion scheme. And then Israel would collapse.

    That’s what a ceasefire is, for Israel. You have to stop shooting them, while they continue to shoot you. And if you shoot back then that’s an unprovoked violation of the ceasefire and they get to shoot you more.

      There will be maybe 3 people, 4 max, remaining after the de-nazification.

      Not that I disagree with it, tho. Just pointing out that you’ll need a cheap and efficient method to do it.

        De-nazification doesn’t mean “kill all Nazis;” it means “make people stop being Nazis.” If you have a cheap and efficient method for that, I’m all ears.

          It doesn’t necessarily mean that, but it could. We could start with Nuremberg style trials, and hang the worst of the worst, then see from there.

          But most likely a lot can be saved by a lot of education and a system that doesn’t support their inhumane behavior towards Palestinians.

        Once all of the Palestinians and others pushed out of the region by Israel’s decades long ethnic cleansing campaign return to their homes, I’m sure they’ll be able to forge a new society from what remains.

        De-nazification obviously shouldn’t be death - except perhaps for people like Bibi himself, and other leaders - but truth and reconciliation campaigns, cult deprogramming, re-education initiatives, and laws against zionists holding positions of power in the new nation formed.

          The people of the area they are trying to call “israel” will need to be put under adult leadership, and give up self rule. They have shown that cannot be trusted to govern a region.

      They signed a ceasefire in Lebanon in November and violated it thousands of times, killing hundreds.

      When Hezbollah finally responded the West blamed them for starting a war.

      They often go years between major violations, if that counts. But they’ve been committing violence in the region even before they were a country

    Iran, meanwhile, has fired several salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel since the ceasefire was reportedly supposed to take effect.

    Yeah, did Iran/Israel actually negotiate a ceasefire between each other or was it just an Iran/US ceasefire…

      Based on what I’ve read its just US-Iran, not Israel too. Ie many of the comments are wrong about Israel breaking a ceasefire.

    While Trump is desperately trying to get his dick out of the meat grinder of a war in the middle east, Netanyaho does care f about war crimes, and will continue making enemies all around him.

    I thought the US announced a “ceasefire” because too many Congress people were mumbling about impeachment over the Easter tweets, and also because USA is running out of bombs and the soldiers are dying too fast. I didn’t realize that Iran reciprocated and agreed to some sort of negotiations with the USA.

    Edit Israel is gonna Israel. Perhaps Iran gotta Iran on Israel.
