@johnkonrad A nuke would give Iran more flexibility in using proxies, as it would increase the risk of a response if Israel attacked Iran in response to a proxy attack. And Iran already fired volleys of hundreds of missiles. If one of those was nuclear, how would Israel know?
@AmiDar There is no two state solution. That was obvious a long time ago, ever since Arafat received the Treaty of Hudaybiya. You lot played that down. Then the second intifada. Rockets. October 7th. Endless speeches by imams. What evidence would it take?
@JoelCRosenberg When they did a similar exit poll on the Mamdani election, they had a similar result. But the results in areas that are heavily Jewish suggested a significant move to the Republicans that the exit polls didn’t capture. Maybe something similar happened here.
@The_GeRM1@jew_viking Huh? Did anyone on the left oppose allowing funding of the building of Gaza and say Israel should go in to Gaza before October 7th? If so, I missed it.
@jew_viking@The_GeRM1 The right was stuck in the left’s concept: if we pay off Hamas, they’ll occasionally fire a rocket or few. Turns out, that wasn’t true.
@liel Someone wrote that the Arabs could have voted for Haddad, Joint List or Ra’am. They overwhelmingly chose Joint List, and did not choose Haddad at all. That suggests that, to a first approximation, the Arabs that accept Israeli sovereignty are very few in number.
@AdamRamsay If they move to Jordan, for example, then they can enjoy whatever rights they have as non-citizens. Just like they can as non-citizens of Israel
@SaraHirschhorn1 Someone I saw wrote that the Arabs had three choices: Hadad, Joint List or Ra’am. That they overwhelmingly chose Joint List suggest a very big problem. Even Ra’am suggests some potential for coexistence.
