Well, Isreal has already destroyed several of their neighbors. Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Gaza, now Iran. Infact, Israel was born out of extreme and mass violence (1948). I would be fearful too... maybe its time for peace?

Keep in mind that the middle east tensions started way before Israel. Sykes-Picot Agreement (1916) was a ham-fisted map re-draw, disregarded ethnic, religious, and tribal realities, contributing to long-standing conflicts.

I know it's fun the blame all the regional strife on the jews, but the facts don't support it.

insanity!

No doubt, imagine if it were true!

Occupying, expanding, and killing does tend to radicalize your surviving neighbors.

I mourn the innocents on both sides

Why does this only apply to Israel and not it's neighbors? Seems to me the current Israeli government is just as "jihadist" in their aggressive war efforts. Same could be said for some in the US government, Hegseth and Graham being two examples who talk about this conflict in apocalyptic religious terms.

But BB has achieved the opposite. Israel is now reviled the world over. He flushed any sympathy generated by the Holocaust down the toilet. Even Jews in USA now experiencing hate crime towards them like never before.
