The US is one thing but there is no possible way Israel will stop bombing. They will openly say they will, and continue to do so. It just gives them more breath

The US is one thing but there is no possible way Israel will stop bombing. They will openly say they will, and continue to do so. It just gives them more breathing room to calculate bigger and more serious strikes. Israel has literally nothing to lose. The US is taking all the heat for any actions in Iran. Israel and Iran are mortal enemies, one can not continue to exist while the other lives, this is how they view it. Iran wants Israel erased, Israel wants Iran erased. This isn't going to stop until one of them suffers catastrophic damage.

- spaghetdefects 6mo agoIsrael has murdered tens of thousands of women in the past few years alone.
- Bubble1296 6mo agoI believe from what I have heard and read that Israel will likely only stop if US formally withdraws military support in a sense that they stop supplying weapons (?)
- ajsnigrutin 6mo ago> Israel has literally nothing to lose. Israel has a lot to lose, the question is only how much of the lost will be replaced by american taxpayers' money. They're almost out of anti-air interceptors, the war they started in lebanon is going badly and iran still has tens of thousands of drones left. There's also hamas and hezbollah and more and more of the world is turning against them, be it in proper politics or even mundane stuff like the eurovision. And it's not just the aljazeera and similar media, the israelis said it themselves: https://www.timesofisrael.com/zamir-said-to-warn-cabinet-that-idf-will-collapse-in-on-itself-amid-manpower-shortage/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/zamir-said-to-warn-cabinet-tha...
- NickC25 6mo agoIsrael will be fine. They have nuclear weapons if shit really starts to get bad. They'll tell you they don't (while smirking), but they do, and have for like 70 years.
- DiogenesKynikos 6mo agoIf Israel uses nuclear weapons, that's the end of any shred of sympathy left for them in the world. There would be massive political consequences for Israel. Sanctions, embargoes, no more ability to travel abroad, the end of any hope of any positive diplomatic relations with other countries, etc.
- ajsnigrutin 6mo agoI'm not that optimistic, they're already accused of genocide in Gaza, rightfully so, and even the european countries that supposedly recognize the ICC in Hague don't arrest Netanyahu. US will of course back them up, as always.
- DiogenesKynikos 6mo agoAs a result of Israel's actions over the last 2.5 years, world public opinion of Israel has tanked. There will already be serious consequences for Israel down the line because of that. But it can get worse for Israel. Use of nuclear weapons is a massive taboo, and if Israel were to cross that line, it would be impossible for any government to continue to support Israel.
- NickC25 6mo ago> Israel were to cross that line, it would be impossible for any government to continue to support Israel. The same could be said for running a massive pedophile and human trafficking ring, but that line has been crossed and it seems that nobody seems to want to address the country that's found itself at the heart of it all.
- testing22321 6mo agoIf we have to choose, it seems the world would be better off without Israel committing genocide
- daliusd 6mo agoIsrael can do better, but Israel committing genocide is not the fact legally.
- consp 6mo agoThe strict definition of the Geneva conventions does not include forced displacement but in some parts of the world that is included in the definition of. And legality is a matter of tribunal and none has been held so far.
- daliusd 6mo agoYou are mixing war crime and genocide IMHO.
- blitzar 6mo ago"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" followed closely by the bestseller "If I Did It: Confessions of the Genocider"
- daliusd 6mo agoI guess this is sarcasm, but I don't even understand what you want to say.
- tovej 6mo agoIt is a fact factually, however. I could witness a murder and the murderer committing murder would still not be a fact legally. It's still a fact.
- daliusd 6mo agoMurder and genocide is not the same. Genocide has strict definition.
- henry2023 6mo agoIf the war (population displacement / genocide / ethnic cleansing, you can call it however you want to) in Gaza has taught the world something is that the current Israeli regime is visceral and they clearly think they are above any international conventions. Of course they will not stop bombing any of its neighbors until we 1) stop funding and 2) start sanctioning them for their war crimes. I wonder if regime change could help alleviate the tensions in the region.
- abustamam 6mo agoI'm not sure why you got downvoted. The current admin seems to love regime changes. Why not Israel? Israel is killing medics in Lebanon (supposedly collateral damage but they don't see it that way https://www.npr.org/2026/04/05/nx-s1-5763606/lebanon-medics-killed-targeted-israel https://www.npr.org/2026/04/05/nx-s1-5763606/lebanon-medics-... )

- Bubble1296 6mo agoI'm just curious here: if we really think about today's conflict in the Middle East regarding the GCC, Israel, the US, and Europe, we can trace this back to US-USSR relations in 1945, as well as the 1980s leading up to 2001. I'm wondering what are everyone's finding on this and what are your opinions?
