Thank you for that. Well said.

It’s definitely the ultimate chutzpah to maintain the perpetual whiney victim façade while murdering and maiming hundreds of children a day for eight months straight. The genocidal Israeli state will eat itself, but will probably try to use nukes while it implodes.

This is my fear, possibility everyone else's fear. I feel like fundamentalists, especially those that use religion as a cover to maintain the power of their base, when they can't get what they want, they are willing to take themselves (or at least their followers) out if it means no one else gets what they couldn't have, whether thats laws, land, power, resources, water, ultimately whatever maintains their supremacy. I worry that if Israel thinks its not going to be able to succeed in what its doing, its going to nuke everyone around it, even if that poisons its own citizens. (and probably the people pushing the buttons will have jetted off to other countries).

Yeah, I worry if I prevent my psycho neighbor be a psycho he might burn the house down. It'll be my fault then.

Have you had a psycho neighbor, especially a fundamentalist psycho neighbor, especially a fundamentalist psycho neighbor that has the sheriff in their back pocket and runs the construction economy and spends their fun time stockpiling weapons in their basement, that everyone is worried will burn their house down in a meltdown over making sure other people don't get none if they don't get won? Because where I live we have more than we should. And NO one would say that anyone trying to mitigate that out of fear is saying that it would be someone else's fault other than the psycho.

I'm not actually clear what you took from my comment, but it seems to be completely disconnected from reality.

We are in uncharted terroritory. New word for these illogical times. Gambling with Armageddon, also a great book. Chris Hedges wrote an amazing book forecasting these moments, American Fascists.

I think what he's trying to say without giving it away is that he 's the one behind the killing of the Palestinians, and now he's the one behind the invasion of Israel Hezbollah having killed thousands of Israelis in just a few days.

Nice bot; yes?

I don't think israel can use nuclear weapons, even a 10 megaton tactical weapon would end israel's existence. israel would be a radioactive parking lot for many years. They could end themselves by using weapons on Iran.

Your response is rational. But we’re not talking about rational people here. As Joy says, they’re insane. As Ron implies, they’re a cult. So we cannot rule out that they might use nukes. And in the meantime, the crazies in the US are trying to provoke a nuclear war with Russia. Rational behaviour is becoming a distant memory.

Thinking that is a sane thought. But we aren't talkin' sane here. It's called "The Samson Option," by Seymour Hersh. Well worth considering. It's been the case that, for some people, the idea that "if I can't have X, then nobody can, and, if I"m going down, I'll take us all down," makes sense, even though it's bat-shit crazy. Dangerously crazy.

But think of Jim Jones. They all drank the juice and they all died because he couldn’t have what he wanted.

This is fitting, because from what I read, several of them that drank the (powerade?) or gave it to their babies was because there were men with guns shooting people who tried to escape into the jungle. Because some of them decided it was time to go down, they held everyone hostage and took down children and people who wanted to leave. Its a very fitting analogy I think.

What makes you so sure?

Radioactive living spaces don't go over well. Iran is a very large country, the Zionists control an area the size of New Jersey. Iran supposedly has three weapons and israel 300 weapons. Iran's last demonstration as well as what Hezbollah is doing every day now, the fishnet dome offers nothing in protection from conventional, and nuclear weapons. Would the Zionists commit suicide, it could be said they are doing that now as the world has turned against them.

A lot of "supposedly". And Israel will get the US to pitch in.

As demented as Genocide Joe is, there would be no immediate nuclear response from us. I'm not sure what the u.s. could do now that Russia and Iran have signed a defense pact. I tell people these are not your Mother's nuclear weapons : ) A 10 mile radius fused like glass, a 30 mile radius burned to a crisp.

Yes, there is a lot of supposing in guessing what maniacs will do : ) When the Neutrons scintillate the eye, Run to the Light.

Keep telling yourself that. Right now the US is charging headlong towards a nuclear exchange - over something as piddly as Ukraine.

Spoken like another ignoramus looking for any excuse to validate his antisemitism. By the way, isn’t it cultural appropriation for you to use “chutzpah”, or does that not apply to Jews either. Educate yourself. You’ll wish you did when the Islamists start showing you how grateful they are you sided with them.
