I've been here long enough to to know a few people, and I like both of you guys tbh. But I disagree with you about this one. I'm not going to get into it too much, because it's Saturday night and I have better things to do. We can continue the conversation another time.
But I will say this: It's not just "their" (Israel's) war. That's short-sighted and naive. It's our war too. If you don't think Palestine/Iran wants to eradicate the United States, you are kidding yourself. Same as it's our war in the Sahel, and our war in Afghanistan, and our war in Ukraine. You are making the mistake of thinking that these people think like you. They don't think like you. They want you dead.
These societies/cultures/peoples/governments, however you want to classify them, ARE our enemies, because they choose to be. They wake up every morning and make that decision. Take Gaza - before Israel did their big counterattack, Hamas polled at 70% popularity, and the October attacks polled at 80%. In the US, you can't get 80% of people to say that puppies are cute or that pizza tastes good. Yet people still believe that Gazans are damsels in distress lmao
They're Islamic fundamentalists, rapists and terrorists. That's who they are and what they are. We can wring our hands and play make believe and pretend that they're something else...
But they are what they are. Nothing is going to change that.
