Israel awaits USA’s green light to return Iran to the age of darkness and stone, says Israeli defense minister

79 years old Trump.

FIFA should sponsor the peace talks.

he’s having a nap. 

The, um, killings not beatings (yes, I know the reference) in this case because Israel and conservative Americans don't view Arabs as human beings.

And last time the Iranians had democracy, they voted in a nationalist government that was considered unacceptable to the profits of western oil companies. This directly led to the 1951 coup and Shah's human rights abuses, and indirectly led to the 1979 Islamic revolution and human rights abuses of the ayatollahs. Iran competing with Saudi Arabia and Turkey as the regional power, desiring a strong independent military, feeling more aligned with other Shia-majority populations in the middle east, and having strongly nationalist politics isn't going to magically go away even if the regime was overthrown. The IRGC is also something resembling a state-backed mafia which runs a double-digit proportion of the current economy. A realistic democratic transition would involve a protracted and messy dissolution of the IRGC that would involve partial dismantlement, privatisation and legitimisation. But following an invasion the US would probably repeat all the catastrophic mistakes of de-Ba'athication in Iraq. A free and democratic Iran would probably be more more reminiscent of Turkey than the Israeli-flag waving portions of the disapora would like to admit. Their liberal politics represent an economically powerful minority who'd be competing for influence with a powerful Shia bloc of religious conservatives, secular nationalists who aren't particularly pro-western, minority parties for groups like the Kurds and Balochs, and probably also a resurgence of the actual leftism that was widespread before the revolution. It would be a complex country with complex politics, and not Israel 2 in terms of western interests. The Gulf States and Saudi Arabia might paradoxically feel even more threatened by a free Iran with democratically legitimate leaders, a military that remained powerful, and a functional, unsanctioned economy.

The majority of the Iranian populace wants normal relations with the US and the west

Don't forget Venezuela and how the US is currently saving Cuba by blocking food and fuel

Caesar said the same about "saving" the Gauls. Oldest excuse in the book. Anyway, Israel has 100% airtight evidence that Iran was just days away from a nuclear weapon, but unfortunately Netanyahu's dog ate the evidence.

There is a German poem, "Das Letzte Kapitel" by Erich Kästner https://www.deutschelyrik.de/das-letzte-kapitel-1930.html Basically the world government decides the only way to get global peace is to kill everyone, the world police deploys poisonous gas worldwide 

Civilians **were** butchered in the streets.

With ewoks like these, who needs the bear necessities?

The first step to make war acceptable to normal people is to dehumanize the other side.

The fables you heard about the IDF being badass are bullshit too.  They're a bunch of greased up little psycho nerds.  They also only 'fight' civilians.  They won't deploy to Iran if the USA starts a ground invasion.

The Jews and Palestinians have even more genetic overlap than you'd expect. As do many Greeks and Turks... Etc

I'm agreeing with you. The purpose of my comment was to provide historical context which I think makes it particularly egregious for conservative Israelis like the minister in this headline to think like they do given how much importance they give to other parts of their culture's history.

Those same people who want to force the 2nd coming of Christ seem to ignore that it doesn't end well for them. *Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.*

Not to mention wildy blasphemous. God loves it when man tries to force his hand.

What war is on Irans scale that Israel fought and won? I’m sure big yahu was impressed by your comment

Hamas paramilitaries wearing press jackets are jot “journalists.” Noa argamani was rescued from a “journalist’s” house where she was held hostage and made to work in the house like a slave. Read books. They’re good for you.
