"It is not possible anymore to stop the Iranian nuclear program with conventional means," the hardline Knesset member and former Israeli defense minister said.
After Iran lobbies a volleyball over the border in retaliation: “Irans outrageous antisemetic terror attack means i have authorised invading Iran to defend our most moral ally Israel”
Trump's team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:
Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.
Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can't control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That's just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they're not that stupid.
Sadly, even taking about issues like this one outside of !worldnews@lemmy.world will get you called out for spreading "Republican propaganda" (as you can't make it seem that Biden and his allies want to expand the current war). I hate to sound like a doomer but bleak times (are most likely) ahead.

You are constructing a counter factual universe here and trying to impose the weird viewpoint on everyone else by sheer repetition. Talking about Israel’s crimes, in this or pretty much any other place on Lemmy, is obviously fine. I dare you to find me even a single place where someone talks about Israel and someone else chimes in with “how dare you! You are making Biden look bad!” out of the blue, or anything else that is remotely like that interaction.
What people respond negatively to, I think, is a specific gang of accounts that tie every single story about anything somewhere in the world back to “And that’s why don’t vote for Biden!” when the pure logic of it (or of him being happy about Israel’s war let alone wanting it to expand) makes no sense at all.
Oh, it’s worse and weirder than that. More than a few hardcore evangelicals are excited by the prospect, because they think it’s going to be the literal biblical Rapture, and that they’ll be Saved.
That’s not a joke or a sarcastic comment. It’s completely serious.
We ignore the insanity of these theocratic fascists at our peril.
This guy's weird. He's been in coalition with Bibi, which is where he got defense minister, but he's also hated Bibi enough to be in coalition with the United Arab list. Mostly he seems to despise haredi enough to stay in opposition, and they are lynchpins to Bibi's current government.
Well a nuclear war would be one way to end the conflicts in that region. Therefore he isn't technically wrong in that it would stop the Iranian program. All that needs to happen is to convert 411 million men, women, and children into radioactive dust to make sure that there is finally peace. Also, it seems to be what the local population wants as far as I can tell, meaning it would be democracy in action. Don't worry if it happens, skydaddy will take care of them.
anyway. did you know that theran is standing on soil that rather sooner than later will crumble and take the city down? climate change sped this up, but stupid "government" doesn care. large cracks around all of the city, sinkholes in theran. it is not worth bombing a country thats doomed already by nature. wait it out. good will happen.
