If appeasing Putin means a neutral Ukraine and ending a war that cannot be won, he would save potentially thousands of lives.

I’m predicting suspecting extremist assets will infiltrate from the border, carry out a 9/11 like event as revenge for US support for Israel’s siege of Gaza, the government will use the brief burst of national unity and large censorship apparatus it is building to pin the blame on Iran and justify invasion like they did Iraq.

Not true, Israeli Colonel Doron Hadar was the commander of Israel's military negotiation unit with 27 years of experience, says himself Israel had many chances to get the hundreds of hostages back safely and quickly, but instead engaged in a military campaign that killed thousands of civilians, multiple hostages, all to save just 7. https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hyw3njjr0

In 1999 the founder of Hamas called for a ceasefire with pre 67 borders In 2006 the Hamas prime minister offered a ceasefire with 67 borders In 2017 charter removed calls for Israel’s destruction and replaced it with a call for 67 borders Even if you don’t believe them, what’s more important is that they lack capacity to return to 48 borders or even 67 borders without Israel’s consent. What Israel has capacity to do, calls for, and is doing, is the continued destruction and occupation of Palestine. Which puts their own citizens at risk.

Actually, 2023 was already the deadliest year for Palestinian children prior to Oct 7. No matter how much you insist on it, you can’t escape the fact Oct 7 didn’t happen in a vacuum. and No, Israelis do not do anything for “life”, they had a Hannibal directive policy specifically to assassinate their own soldiers to avoid capture. And despite being offered all the hostages back at the start of the war, refused and engaged in the invasion of Gaza which has so far killed more hostages then they’ve saved from military action. What standard do you hold Israelis who you claim to care for? You defend their occupation and blockade which resulted in Oct 7 in the first place, you’re no different than hamas supporters enabling them to put Palestinians at risk while claiming to care for them. You enable the Israeli government to put its own citizens at risk by playing the victim and defending their war crimes, which just leads to more attacks towards Israelis.

That doesn’t dissolve the distinction, Zionism is still a specific political ideology. That was true about the Torah for thousands of years before Zionism. Well yes, how was it fair for the Jews to expel thousands of Palestinians from their homeland to declare a Jewish state on land other people lived on without their consent? If someone kicked you out of your home because they said their religious text claims their ancestors owned this land thousands of years ago would you be ok with it? But there is a clear pattern between Israel’s actions and a growth in antisemitism. As unfair as it is, this is the natural result in Israel claiming to represent the Judaism and Jews, but going on to commit occupation and war crimes in their name. If you’re criticizing Muslims personally because a majority Muslim country commits human rights abuses just on the basis they are they identify as the same religion, that would be islamophobia the same way it’s antisemitism to criticize Jews for Israel just because they are Jewish. But criticizing the states actions itself of the Muslim or Jewish person for backing it, wouldn’t be. It’s the opposite, no other country is escaping accountability and justice more than Israel. At least other countries behaving like this are sanctioned or considered Pariahs. Israel on the other hand gets endless funding and forced adulation from the US. In the end it only hurts them because it empowered the worst aspects of their society to continue bad behavior, this is the result. If the US followed its own laws on funding countries committing illegal acts, they wouldn’t be funding Israel even prior to this war because of the settlements. Maybe the average Jew does, but not the government of Israel. They want to control greater Israel and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians living in it. There are many valid arguments you can make about the fundamental flaw of ethnostates including Israel. You could argue much of the violence and racism Israel perpetrates is a manifestation of this. If it’s not true and an ethnostate can behave morally, Israel isn’t helping that argument with their behavior. Many famous historians and economists both defenders and critics of Israel are warning Israel is on the path to self destruction. Israel very possibly may be going away and potentially bringing us all down with it if they don’t change their ways. You aren’t helping them by trying to deflect every criticism to other countries. Maybe if the West treated Israel like it treats Syria you’d have a point, but we are enabling this.

1. If the argument is Iran generally funds Hamas to oppose Israel no one would argue with you, but jumping from that to they specifically planned October 7 is a huge leap and could be used to justify regional war 2. Israel and US military also have young people in their ranks, but not in leadership positions. What makes you think Hamas is disorganized? They were organized enough to avoid their plot being leaked from inside, organized enough for most of their leaders and hostages to avoid capture after nearly a year of war. Its not incompetence from Iran if they didn’t see Oct 7 coming, it would make sense given the risks of it leaking or risks for Iran if it got credibly pinned on them. Yes, everyone is incompetent. Gazans are the most monitored population in the world by Israel yet they got surprised by them using hand gliders and bulldozers. Iranian commanders and scientists get assassinated constantly despite knowing the US and Israel is hunting them. A huge portion of IDF casualties are by friendly fire and accidents with no Hamas involvement in this war. The US overthrew Saddam claiming it would stop terrorists like Al Queda and it allowed Al Queda to expand to Iraq where they weren’t previously and allowed Iran to expand its influence and proxy groups. Israel transferred funds to Hamas and blocked their attempts to bring the PLO into Gaza strengthening their armed wing. The US tried to overthrow Assad but just made him dependent on Iran and Russia, and forced millions of refugees into Europe. They are mostly all highly corrupt, religious fundamentalist, or stupid and literally millions of lives hang in the balance of their decisions.

1. Ok, but where does that lead to concluding it’s obvious Iran told Hamas to do Oct 7? 2. Ultimately this doesn’t show Hamas troops are so young they need Iran to organize them.

What is the evidence Hamas is primarily composed of teenagers? Yes, the median age of Gaza is young, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of adults in Gaza who work for Hamas. Half of Gaza is women, but Hamas doesn’t have women in combat roles. The only evidence I found was this 2001 report which indicates Hamas did not generally use child soldiers. https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/cscoal/2001/en/64736#:~:text=There have been reports of,not to date included children. They recruit minors, but that doesn’t mean minors make up their combat troops. That doesn’t go against my argument. There is a difference between being behind a organization, and supporting it. This is support, Iran provides funding and training. That doesn’t mean they directly control what Hamas decides to do. So that indicates the US’s main motivation is not global democratic values but rather global influence / power

1. That’s largely bluster they backtrack from https://archive.is/LvuYA 2. Iran doesn’t have capability to destroy Israel directly and their military strategy is analyzed as defensive instead focusing on leaving offense to small rebel groups they try to influence and fund, their only ability to destroy Israel would be getting nuclear weapons, yet they offered to turn the Middle East into a nuclear free zone, Israel rejected it, made a nuclear deal with the USA, but the US dropped it after pressure from Israel, and still they haven’t made nukes 3. Israel heads of state regularly try to lobby the USA to attack and destroy Iran like they did Iraq 4. what is far worse than threatening to destroy a country is actually doing it, which Israel has been doing to Palestine and it is their official position to reject the two state solution, which Iran supports.

1. Gaza having a young population isn’t proof Hamas is teenagers who can’t organize, their are adults in Gaza and hamas is run by adults. Here are the leaders of hamas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ismail_Haniyeh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Sinwar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Deif 2. Iran isn’t behind Hamas, just supports them. They have other funding sources and Iran doesn’t fully control them, for example they had a brief falling out with Iran when Hamas backed militias opposing Assad who Iran supported. Yes, it’s completely believable Hamas wouldn’t tell Iran their plot as that risks it getting leaked. 3. the US doesn’t uniformly support democratic world order, the US has regularly supported dictators and overthrown democracies in its history

But their actions showed the opposite. They purposefully funded Hamas to hurt the PLO even though the PLO gave up armed resistance and Hamas hadn’t. They moved IDF away from the Gaza border to the West Bank leaving it undefended. They ignored any Hamas offer for a ceasefire before and after oct 7.

No, Iran attempted to strike a nuclear deal years ago to avoid war. They were making moves to avoid war. They also chose a extremely limited strike on Israel only after their general was assassinated and did not retaliate after Israel responded, again attempting to avoid war. The leadership was the leadership of Hamas, it isn’t a gang of teenagers. They don’t need Irans leadership to plan on the ground with things like troop movements. Its not an unlikely scenario Iran has no knowledge or involvement in oct 7. Iran was attempting to normalize with Saudi Arabia at the time, this ruined that. Even parts of Hamas didn’t know about the plan, Hamas keeps everything extremely secret because the IDF are constantly monitoring them. 1) The conditions that were created for this to happen were created by Israel. Israel orphaned many boys in previous Gaza assaults for Hamas to recruit, refused any negotiations for ending the blockade giving them motivation to rebel, and moved IDF from the Gaza border to help protect settlers expand in the West Bank. 2) By that logic, it’s also Israel’s fault as much as Irans because they directed Qatar to send funds to Hamas 3) in this case it was a victory for them, they’ve dramatically hurt the image of the US and Israel and brought focus away from their own internal issues It’s not really the same. Iran and China both seek to expand their influence among their neighbors or commercially. The US is imperialistic in trying to control as much of the entire world as it can and crush any resistance, and Israel is expanding by ethnically cleansing Palestine. Both Iran and China rarely if ever attack overseas countries and try to avoid war, most of their military actions are a response to US and Israeli imperialism and threats. Iran and China support the world consensus on a two state solution, it’s only the US and Israel blocking it, if it had passed oct 7 would have never happened.
