But they live in Israel all the same, and if Israel is bombed they're the ones who won't be allowed in the bomb shelters.

Ask yourself whether they wouldn’t be willing to die to help burn the blight on the humankind called Israel. Don’t play liberal here, comrade.

I can ask myself all I like, but I'm not the one that has to burn the answers onto my body.

If bombing Israel was the only way to destroy it, then maybe it's worth it. It's not. "Israel" isn't a real country, it's a fragile garrison state that can only exist as long as it is provided an unlimited supply of weapons and investment. Cut off that supply and Israel will melt into air as all the settlers flee back to their home countries. There's simply no need to kill Israel's human shields.

And that's why Iran is playing this game. They're trying to collapse Israel without endangering the Palestinians that live there.

Okay, comrade, I'm frustrated. Israel is hanging dozens of prisoners every week. The genocidal state doesn't deserve any consideration. No rationalization can bring back those lifes.

I'm not giving the genocidal state any consideration. The ruling caste deserves to be bombed, no question.

But we have to give consideration to the Palestinians living under the boot within Israel, because they're the ones who won't be allowed into the Jewish bomb shelters. I think that's what the Axis is trying to figure out with these negotiations; is it possible to defeat Israel without sacrificing the Palestinians that live there? And to do it within an acceptable time-frame? Maybe.

I'm frustrated too, but I'm not the one with my body on the line. I can't blame the Axis of Resistance for exhausting all other options.

You can ask yourself that, but it's not for you or I to answer
