Israel already has a nuclear bomb that could be used to destroy Iran, though.
>So, not morally equivalent.
Are you implying that Iran's leaders are suicidal fanatics?
- gadders 6y agoIran regularly says they want to destroy Israel. Israel has never said that they want to destroy Iran. I'm not sure whether Iran's leaders are suicidal fanatics, but they're definitely fanatics.
- AsyncAwait 6y ago> Israel. Israel has never said that they want to destroy Iran. Israeli politicians have said enough very questionable statements to fill a book. But everybody sorts of understands them to be targeted at a domestic audience for pandering. Why is Iran supposedly different here?
- gadders 6y agoI'm talking about statements by the leaders - prime minister, president etc.

- gadders 6y agoMeh. She can't actually implement what she has claimed. This is Iran's LEADER: https://apnews.com/article/a033042303545d9ef783a95222d51b83 https://apnews.com/article/a033042303545d9ef783a95222d51b83
- AsyncAwait 6y agoMeh. He's an old, fragile, religious leader, he can't actually implement it himself. On a serious note, I think the many Palestinians imprisoned on questionable grounds would disagree with you. Apart from that, Israel is known to have tested experimental drugs etc. on Palestinians[1] and aims to cripple[2], so as far as inflicting harm, they're quite credible. 1 - https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190220-israel-pharmaceutical-firms-test-medicines-on-palestinian-prisoners https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190220-israel-pharmaceut... 2 - https://apnews.com/article/6035b1d3293c4a298145afbff50ab844 https://apnews.com/article/6035b1d3293c4a298145afbff50ab844
- kingofpandora 6y agoI totally believe she would say something like this, but you'll need a better source than Daily Sabah.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoOh, pardon me. How's the Washington Post? https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-consent/?next_url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.washingtonpost.com%2fnews%2fworldviews%2fwp%2f2015%2f05%2f07%2fisraels-new-justice-minister-considers-all-palestinians-to-be-the-enemy%2f https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-consent/?next_url=https%... P.S. I wanted a non-paywalled article.
