Israel very much depends on being the dominant power in the region. If they lose US support, things could get ugly indeed. And they are losing support rapidly now.
- lifestyleguru 1y agoIf US looks away for even half a year the whole region will turn into one massive sand storm.
- enahs-sf 1y agoI think if Israel went the lebensraum route, it would be WW3 for real.
- krapp 1y agoNah, the world would let it happen. Or more accurately, the world would let the US let it happen. And the US would probably fund it. And the world would feel so, so sorry as they paved over the mass graves and built AI data centers and luxury hotels in what used to be Gaza.
- buyucu 1y agoIsrael has been on that route for decades now.
- diggan 1y agoWhat are they currently doing then? They're already supporting the "settlers" so territorial expansion is already in progress. They haven't expanded beyond that right now, but judging by their current actions, it seems to me they're already on that route, and only small parts of the world is currently trying to stop them.
- morkalork 1y agoHave they not taken a bite of Syria - sorry, "established a buffer zone" - recently?
- matteoraso 1y agoThey've already attacked Syria and Lebanon multiple times already. There's no doubt that they're already planning for new wars once this one is over.
- robertoandred 1y agoWhy should Israel allow themselves to be attacked by Syria and Lebanon? Did you miss what Lebanon did to people in northern Israel? Seems like you think Jews should just sacrifice themselves for some reason.

- buyucu 1y agoThe fascist regime in Tel Aviv has been attacking almost every other country in the region. Israel is a country led by religious fanatics.
- robertoandred 1y agoYou're avoiding the question. Why is Israel expected to sacrifice itself when it's attacked?
- buyucu 1y agoIsrael is an invader. People have a right to defend themselves from Israeli agression.
- energy123 1y agoHezbollah declared war on Israel, unprovoked, on October 8th through to late 2024, by launching constant missile attacks on civilian areas, notwithstanding their violation of UNSC Resolution 1701. Israel is justified under international law to invade South Lebanon and completely decimate Hezbollah unless it offers an unconditional surrender. I am more sympathetic to your views regarding Syria, however. That is a less justifiable war with nebulous preventive/preemptive motivations, which is somewhat coherent on a pure self-interested security basis but is likely validly unjust under different frames of reference (morality, modern global norms and taboos, and international law).

- buyucu 1y agoIsrael bombs Syria and Lebanon on a daily basis. There is an Israeli puppet dictator in power in Jordan.
- hersko 1y agoYou think Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria are candidates to be the "dominant power in the region?"
- bawolff 1y agoGiven that Jordan & Israel have relatively good relations (I say "relative", the entire region is a mess), why would they be next? If anything, currently it looks like Israel's relations with its nearby neighbours (excluding Palestine. Syria is bit unclear also) are improving while its relationship with the broader world is sinking like a stone.
