      Well given the fact it’s currently effectively a dictatorship I can’t see how it can degrade any further.

        Israel has around 90 nuclear warheads with the materials to build up to about 200. The only thing I can imagine being worse is if idiots even more unhinged than their current government acquire and use them. Yes, the bar is that low.

              No, you show me examples of

              A power vacuum leads to extremely powerful terrorist groups forming who take over the region

                  The Taliban didn’t form in response to the collapse of the state they were the previous power in charge who resisted the occupying US forces and simply returned to power when the half assed “state building” colonial project collapsed. Good thing you are not replying further because you are making a fool of yourself. If all else fails scare people with terrorism from the brown people, weak dude.

                  (No further replies will be given, I refuse to argue about this)

                  This is the most soy-boy, beta cuck statement I have read today, nice job!

            I would be shocked if the UN did anything substantial here. If they do anything, they’d probably re-declare Mandatory Palestine and give it to Donald Trump.
