In reply to the discussion: Stop Netanyahu Before He Gets Us All Killed [View all]iemanja
(56,533 posts)A planned slaughter of 2 million Palestinians is morally reprehensible, and no decent human being can support it. Netanyahu has pledged to do exactly that.
The war with Iran is not in the US best interests and holds the potential of significant blow back on the US. Netanyahu has been advocating for war with Iran for decades, and at multiple times he has falsely claimed the Iran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon. He has worked to undermine negotiations with the Iranians, convinced Trump to blow up the agreement the Obama administration negotiated, and last week targeted and killed the lead negotiator for Iran, just as he targeted and killed the lead negotiator for Hamas. He does not want a negotiated peace in either case. He wants war and mass murder and is executing both. Now, in order to support Netanyahu's actions, you claim the war on Ukraine is a reason for destroying Iran. I don't see you advocating for war with Russia. Why should war against a proxy waring partner take precedence over the direct prosecutor of the war on Ukraine? And do you actually think the Ukraine enters even minimally into Netanyahu's concerns?
A person can be wrong on one subject and correct on another. I'm sure that's the case for many of us. Your "look over there" in order to distract from war and the Gazan genocide is not a convincing or moral tactic.
I do not think it's acceptable that Iran is helping fund the war on the Ukraine. That, however, does not mean the war on Iran is good for US interests.
You use the term genocide to describe the war on Ukraine. Fair enough. Do you use that same term for Gaza?
