You should listen to what Netanyahu and his cronies say and see what they do. Actions speak louder than charters.
Israel is the one that has attacked neighboring countries. Iran hasn't. Yet for Israel, it is justifiable to do that because it is self-defense. Evidently, other countries aren't allowed to defend themselves against Israel.

I do think it is pretty well accepted that Iran has been a, the , primary fund source for lots of terror groups that attack lots of people in lots of countries

They aren’t negotiating in good faith. Hamas said they were negotiating about the hostages and they missed deadline after deadline. That’s not really negotiating.

If Iran has a nuclear weapon, Israel has no leverage at all. This is a great thing. Iran not having this weapon is a great thing. It’s not good. It’s great.

Futile to argue this with you. You refuse to acknowledge that both States and non State actors surrounding Israel, have been calling for the elimination of Israel for decades.

You refuse to acknowledge what Israel has been doing behind the scenes to its surroundings states for decades. You also don't think the occupation and treatment of Palestinians may have something to do with that? It's not like Israel is some peaceful country that is being threatened for the hell of it. They aren't the victim.

I think the Netanyahu government is out of control but take issue with the suggestion that Iran hasn’t attacked other countries. Iran operates through proxies who have attacked US forces and others and Iran is providing weapons to Russia to attack Ukraine. The Iranian regime is a pariah state that is oppressing its own people — and I get that the United States has a lot to answer for how that came about.

[Didn't mean to pile on — in the time it took me to finish and post this it looks like the point was already made]

That's not true. Hamas was following the ceasefire deadline, but Israel was the one that broke the ceasefire hundreds of times and then decided they didn't want to have it anymore.

And is it a great thing that Israel has a nuclear weapons with an unhinged leader in charge?

It boils down to who you do see as the initiator and who is the one who has to respond. You think the Middle Eastern countries Israel attacks are responding to Israel. Most of the civilized world understands Israel has to be aggressive to stay alive. They absolutely push the envelope but it’s warranted.

The world is complex and there are bad people everywhere. I’m an American. We have to choose sides. The vast majority of the Muslim world doesn’t like/trust the US. Israel would never harm the US. It’s pretty simply for most humans. What’s best for me and my safety? Siding with Israel is a clear answer for most Americans. One side hates me. One side doesn’t.

Why is it warranted? If Russia continues to occupy Ukraine and mistreat the Ukrainians, they are justified to attack neighboring countries that oppose what they are doing?

You are unhinged and clearly your bias is blinding you if you think Russia and Israel are the same.

Israel wasn't looking for a reason. Iran gave them the reason. Under no circumstances, NONE, could Israel and the US allow Iran to get a nuke. This was absolutely required. The fact that the US didn't have to play an active role is a plus.

Remind me why there's no international regulatory oversight of the Iranian nuclear program to prevent them developing weapons.

Why do you think one side hates you? Do you think its because we have been messing up their countries for decades?
Also, Israel does not care for us. They just use us and we're fine with it. Israel doesn't have our backs. Israel is also a reason why countries over there do not like us.

Iran has attacked Israel through its proxies, particularly Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran has stated that it wants Israel destroyed and was secretly and illegally building nuclear weapons. That is not something Israel can let stand if it wants to survive.

Ok. Again - we are the superpower in the world. We don’t have the luxury to sit out global conflicts on this scale. We have to choose a side. I am fine with choosing the side that values women, gays, democracy, etc.
