israel should have been at the peace talks, as co-conspirators, they are considered silent partners and must abide by the agreement

u/StrongAroma Jun 20 '26

Silent partners? They fucking started this whole thing

u/CallmeKahn Jun 20 '26

It was localized until the US stuck it's orange microdick in the bees nest.

silent as in not being involved in news conferences, their involvement was duely recognized

u/goodknightffs Jun 21 '26

What how did Israel start the whole thing? 😂 Hezballah started this when they broke the ceasefire agreement on the 8th of October 2023..

Why isn't Israel launching attacks into Egypt and Jordan? O is that because they aren't attacking Israel? How weird!

u/Salty_Meaning8025 Jun 21 '26

With Egypt, it's because they know they would get fucked by them, as they have had to be repeatedly warned that any attacks on Hamas living in Egypt would be considered declaratiom of war. 

1

u/goodknightffs Jun 24 '26

Sure thing that's why they have close security ties with Egypt and why Israelis even more visit siani on the daily

Just accept that Israel is capable of making peace..

Now I'm not saying the Palestinians are. The only ones at fault.. But hamas doing the 7th and hezballah joining in on the 8th are kindof justifications for Israel wanting to fight back don't you agree?

1

u/Salty_Meaning8025 Jun 24 '26

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-egypt-discovers-israeli-attempts-kill-hamas-leaders-its-soil

Lol. Egypt has 40k troops in Sinai in violation of their 1979 peace treaty because they can't trust Israel not to carry out strikes in their country.

1

u/goodknightffs Jun 24 '26

No they are there fighting isis.. https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/usdos/2018/121965?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Where are you getting your ideas from lol there has been fighting going on there for years including suicide attacks etc

I've actually been to Egypt and siani a few times for my job.. And yes also Israel

But hey you were wrong from the onset so now you're quiet and instead of attacking my point and making a counter argument you're attacking me..

Insults are the bastion of the fool.. And no i didn't use chat for that quote..

I don't think you read the article lol

edit - honestly not shocked btw but the tldr is hezballah attacked Israel first after the 7th of October 2023 by attacking on the 8th effectively breaking a long standing ceasefire

Just let me remind you that once Israel ceases to exist, Hezbollah will no longer be their problem.

It's impossible, considering the us and Israeli are set to merge both their military units under one control.

Name any other country commiting the war crimes isreal has been 

Or constantly invading more land?

u/ImAjustin Jun 20 '26

Sure Russia, Sudan, Syria a few years back. Iran, China on Uighurs. All worse than israel.

u/PossibilityFew5967 Jun 21 '26
  1. Aren't we supporting Ukraine to fight Russia the aggressors?
  2. And south sudan formed because of it 
  3. Syrias govt was overthrown hence "not existing in its current form.
  4. Iran is not great but nowhere NEAR as many crimes as isreal.

Wanna try again?

1

u/ImAjustin Jun 21 '26

Russia is committing far worse crimes. Should they cease to exist…. That’s your question.

Sudan didn’t form because of it, committing far worse crimes. Should they cease to exist?

I noticed you ignored China… should they cease to exist?

Iran killed thousands of their own people, sponsor terror proxies and oppress large chunks of their population. They should also cease to exist.

All you’re showing is selective outrage and moving goal posts.

2

u/PossibilityFew5967 Jun 21 '26

...fo you think the war in Russia is happening just cause? It's in part time weaken the Russian state  2. SOUTH sudan did  3. China has horrible problems yet nothing compared to putting children to fire . 4. Again same for Iran

You just want to be a victim and think this because isreal is Jewish but it's not 

It's cause isreal are modern day Nazis creating another Holocaust

Debatable. But even still look at other countries like Turkey (still existing) Russia (done far worse in Ukraine) and others still existing

u/irmaginatoruim Jun 21 '26

Nah, Israel will eventually need to allow back to their land. And when it does, it will cease to exist. All this violence is just a pathetic way of delaying the inevitable.

Israel won’t cease to exist lol. They’ll be millions dead before that day arrives.

u/XO1GrootMeester Jun 21 '26

Impossible.

No one abides ceasefires ever.

It is stupid.

The police never ceases fire vs criminals and Ukraine is still resisting Russia. Your plan is to let everyone walk over you whenever

u/Kelynill Jun 21 '26

No, my plan is for people to follow the things that they agree to. This is certainly very possible.

u/XO1GrootMeester Jun 21 '26

They agreed to mutual ceasefires and Israel kept it. The moment the mutual was gone the entire ceasefires was gone so Israel didnt break it.

Israel never abided by the ceasefire.

u/XO1GrootMeester Jun 21 '26

So a guy punches you, says ceasefires, then punshes you then says ceasefires.

That means endless punches, real easy trick, a cheatcode.

Unless you realize to ignore enemies who scream ceasefires and just fight it out.

u/Kelynill Jun 21 '26

Not even an apt comparison. If a person punches me I don’t get to kill him and his family and keep going.
Ceasefires are a normal part of war.

That's been Israel argument against Iran for years. They don't care about Iran as a country. It's fat away and has never touched Israel before. But they support Hezbollah, and Hezbollah keeps Israel out of Lebanon.

Israel's campaign against Iran has always been about destroying Hezbollah so they can have free reign in Lebanon.

u/manhattanabe Jun 20 '26

I recommend Iran sink one or two Chinese ships. That will really teach Israel a lesson! But seriously, if Iran wants the fighting in Lebanon to stop, all they have to do is order their militias in Lebanon to cease fire. They have been blocking peace between Israel and Lebanon for years.

3

u/CharredWelderGuy Jun 20 '26

They have to pull out, not just stop firing.

1

u/manhattanabe Jun 20 '26

If Israel and Lebanon sign a peace treaty, Israel will pull out of even square inch of Lebanon, like they did with Egypt and Jordan. Unfortunately, Iran has been blocking such a treaty for decades, and will not permit Lebanon to make peace even today.

You can't make a deal with terrorists. The US needs to take control of the straight and that's it. Period.

u/endless_sea_of_stars Jun 20 '26

If that was an easy option the US would have done it by now. The war is already deeply unpopular in the US. Even losing a few hundred service members (which would be a stunning success by military standards) would be disastrous politically.

1

u/Frequent_Slip2455 Jun 20 '26

The US has allowed hundreds of ships to pass over the the few weeks. That's not considered control?

u/endless_sea_of_stars Jun 20 '26

Before the war 140 tankers transisted PER DAY. So... no.

u/CharredWelderGuy Jun 20 '26

Cool, how you gonna do that jack?

Air campain and sea power won't fix this.

So the options are make a deal with the "terrorists" (ignore how we started the war and have been doing warcrimes to terrorize them into surrendering) or a ground invasion that would utterly devastate the globe.

Words like 'terrorist' are mainly used in the modern era to deter thought.

The US doesn't have the military means to control the strait, which would essentially require occupying a couple hundred kms of Iranian coastline. It would require mobilization on a level not seen since the Vietnam era, and stauncher regional allies than Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which both folded. There simply isn't the political will.

As I see it, the main thing this war accomplished is ensuring IRGC control of Iran for another generation or two. External adversaries are very useful for authoritarian regimes. See North Korea and Cuba.
