I’ve never declared I’m right in any discussion I’ve ever had with forum members. I’ve made it very clear from day one that I’m here to participate in discussion with my opinion.
This is fantasy. I have no interest is shunting Israeli policy away from policy consequences, but the people who ran Israel before Likud’s neoliberal, tzadik-settler and personality cult turn, under Netanyahu, never operated from these kind of delusions. Had Egypt remained the abiding threat to Israel’s existence, Tel Aviv would have backed Tehran as a regional counter. Bank it.
You seem to have a decent grasp and are using your understanding to form an opinion. You are certainly entitled to that opinion, but it is just your opinion. From where I sit it is pretty much in line with LIB thought. My disagreement with your opinion doesn’t mean that I’m automatically wrong. It just means we disagree.
Of course not. Assuming you can, that doesn’t automatically make your view of the world superior to mine.
In any case, I’ve participated in many of these kinds of threads over the years, and the recurring LIB theme is very similar to the one you are offering. As you’ve likely noticed the recurring response is conservative.
Just keep sticking to that 1st grade black/white good/evil thinking.
One of the many similarities of the trumpys and woke antifa BLM crusaders along with constant desire for self victimization, belief In an evil opposition, feels before facts, delusional conspiracies, and inability to accept anything that goes against preconceived biases or ever admit errors. Two sides of the same coin.
What’s ironic is that I’ve been participating in the thread topic, while taking this side trip with you. I call it walking and chewing gum at the same time.
It just has to do with the breadth and volume of the source material. Türkiye has become a press wateland under Erdoğan, and Iran doesn’t have a domestic opposition press to speak of. But Israel. Here’s the thing. All their major publications are always also in English, and the range of commentary would make an American Israelophile blush. Can I suggest you read Israeli critique 9f Tel Aviv?
Nah…since you give the same overly-simplistic responses to all, it’s so easy the Python script I can write to replicate your posts for you so you won’t have to go to the bother would be child’s play.
