    Israel is literally fighting for its existence and has nowhere to retreat to should they lose. Afghanistan, like Vietnam, was not an existential threat to the US. It’s not really comparable because of this.

    Really? ? A bunch of half starved poorly armed guerrillas are an “existential threat” to Israel? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

    Come on, if you are gonna try to be the one calling for rational discourse you have got to at least try not to be so intellectually dishonest.

      Spare me your insults.

      A bunch of half starved poorly armed guerrillas are an “existential threat” to Israel?

      They are unlikely to win but if they did, yes, the consequences would be existential. It wasn’t long ago that Israel was the underdog in this conflict.

        Because they don’t have the means to fight back and win. Because if they insist on intifada they will end up with nothing. --DarkGamer

        So they are both weak and strong. Hrm right out of the fascists handbook.

        Keep telling us who you are when you get back from your goose-stepping practice.

          Clearly you have difficulties with the concept of time. They were weak they are strong. But any excuse to call those who disagree fascist, I guess.

            LOL you are amazing at justifying your bullshit.

            I noticed the zionists seem to like saying that gaza isn’t being carpet bombed and such so how do you explain :

            “Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne — some of the world’s heaviest-ever bombings are remembered by their place names,” said Robert Pape, a US military historian and author of Bombing to Win, a landmark survey of 20th century bombing campaigns. “Gaza will also go down as a place name denoting one of history’s heaviest conventional bombing campaigns.” from the financial times (non paywalled no excuses link https://archive.ph/DSZ1b/ )

            They even have pretty graphs showing how it is worse.

            Oh and since you seem to think TIME is an issue for me tell me how fast was WW2 vs everything since Oct 7?? Nevermind I’ll just tell you since your propaganda addled brain (yea that’s an insult you dipshit) will try to block it out. “By contrast, over the space of two years, between 1943 and 1945, the Allied bombing of 61 major German cities razed an estimated 50 per cent of their urban areas, according to Pape.”

            Odd how these things seem bad even in the light of history, maybe Israel can get all the way to # 1 on the charts!!!
