10. Yes, there are two. Can't decide which of the two I loathe the most.

Gaza was the Dahiya Doctrine disguised as a military necessity. The deception of that tactic and what it did to Gaza and its people, the gaslighting of it all drove me nearly out of my mind.

Samson option? Truly horrifying. And the fact that only Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons but no one else is eliminates mutual deterrence and ensures Israel can go on terrorizing its neighbours forever.

The whole reason for attacking Iran, a 40-year long plan, is to eliminate the strongest nation in the region that has historically - whether under a secular government or the "mullahs" - refused to submit to western and Israeli domination and hegemony and the theft of its oil and resources. Everything else is just propaganda.

"They learned from Gaza that there are no limits and they can get away with anything."

Truer words...

This is why we are here now, on the brink of a conflagration! And why it was important - outside of moral principles, belief in right and wrong etc but even from a purely pragmatic self-preservation perspective, to have stopped the genocide!!!
