Canuck Surfer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 51 minutes ago, Boudrias said: Any suggestion of taking their success and pausing simply aids Iran. Iran stalls as they continue towards a deliverable nuke that they can threaten Israel with. The unspoken reality is that once Hamas and Hezbollah are no longer a threat Israel can focus on Tehran and the regime there. There is already a underground of rebels inside Iran and Israel has probably infilitrated and worked with that leadership. Israel could selectively target Iranian leadership and take them out as the Iranian people rise up against their brutal overlords. This conflict is usually cloaked in religion but the reality is economic. Iranians struggle to live. I don't have any inhibitions that criminal militants are the root cause of (this) conflict. Ultimately, its Israel's job to protect itself. The surgical precision of these tactical strikes on the wealthiest, and most ruthless of these leaders has its value. Its militarily extremely impressive what Israel is pulling off. They won't have this infiltration everywhere. It keeps going, and going... Still? I think it might be idealistic in that taking on the entire balance of Iran's proxy empire will be easy? It, cutting the head off the snake, creates a vacuum. Say what you will about occupation or security zones. Killing Hezbollah leaders & leaving the streets empty might be even more dangerous? 30,000 or 60,000 fighters, weapons caches', new gangs emerging to be the ''gang,'' or ''guy'' who suddenly controls the streets. The real battle is if anyone actually wants peace in these countries. Will they fight for it. Who will win? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Here are two videos; both by Sunni Arab politicians. One from Kuwait, the other UAE, who normalized with the West, Israel. Despite pressure from autocratic Muslim countries. These are also dated 2018, 2020, nail the issues, without the heat of current battle. One frustrated missiles are launched from the roof of a hospital their aid helped build. That Abbas would bring business cards for his companies; aid to help Palestinian people re-routed. Palestinian leaders are “small-time hucksters who peddle in the Palestinian cause.” He added that it is time for the “mercenaries” who profit from the Palestinian cause to step aside and leave the floor to a younger, peace-minded generation.

Accomplish astounding things! I'd love to hear about these students Bob? Yet might die in civil war. Folks from the Taliban, ISIS, similar will rear their heads. Warlords have been in the way for 80 years in 'Palestine.' It's a journey any like these students behind freedom dont always win. Empowering them, identifying them, supporting is more important than just disposing of Nasrallah! * The Trumps, Yoav Gallant & GW Bush's of the world slip in also to prop up warlords they can leach off. * Our own leaders are often part of it? What we put up with, vote for, also counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
