You may say that they shouldn't warn and just strike but Iran does not have the diplomatic cover that USrael does to do that. Europe would instantly declare war if Iran did anything remotely resembling an "unprovoked" attack. USrael can attack outta nowhere and Eurocucks won't do anything, but Iran can't do that.

That depends who you are. Do you mean "the average American" or perhaps "the US government looking to spend some money on private military-related expenses from your friend's company" or perhaps "a politician who relies on pro-Israel funding"? ... Those all have different answers.

The Christians of the world care because there is some bullshit in the bible about Jesus returning when the Jews lives there. And that is also probably why the place even exists as it does today.

It is pure fucking madness.

Breno Altman is a brilliant communist journalist here in Brasil. A secular Jew from an influential anti-zionist family, he is a major critic of Zionism. He is under fierce attack by the Zionist lobby.

He explains that Zionism enacted a religious reform: the old Jewish doctrine "Israel will be restored after the Messiah comes" was replaced by "The Messiah will come after Israel is restored". Some Orthodox Jews still oppose this new doctrine.

I'm warning you: I'm gonna do something without warning if you're not careful!

They probably mean "without prior warning about the strike so citizens can evacuate". Given that the Zionist entity places military and intelligence sites really close or below civilian infrastructure, that means mass casualties.
