You’re darn tootin’, as the kids say, that Israel needs to make sure its nuclear deterrent is up to spec.
Is that racist?
It’s funny, because throughout the Arab and Muslim world, Israel’s nuclear deterrent never made anyone fear it might actually use a nuke in a fit of ideological pique. No one‘s fundamental policies changed when they believed Israel had developed nukes.
Because everyone understands in the region that it’s actually a deterrent, and nothing more.
Whereas Iran’s nuclear program caused a great shifting of Arab loyalties and fears, a reordering of regional power dynamics. Because no one in the region is ever really sure they won’t use it.
Mehdi wants you to believe this difference reflects Western racism. Or something. Easier to shout “racism” than to deal with the simple truth — that the Iranian regime is an imperialist martyrdom cult that its own neighbors think might actually use a nuke.
Mehdi doesn’t actually think I’m racist. It’s just the only cheap shot he has left to cover for the butchers of Syria and demolishers of Yemen, for mass-murdering religious fanatics who have driven their own country into the ground in pursuit of nukes that maybe, just maybe, it is perfectly capable of using offensively.
@bradlander no it does not. supporting those who build ammunition storages under Palestinian homes by calling them freedom fighters is how you get blood on your hands.
@DarializaforNY yes please let’s get some jihadist commies to send to congress, that is exactly what this country needs, because trumpist nazis will get lonely otherwise
@claireforny you don’t call for ceasefire, you called for ignoring the Israeli hostages being tortured by blood- thirsty gang-raping religious fundamentalists who have your full support. you are a cancer eating away at our country, and damage you do is equal to any Trump minion
