Hello People of the Internet, Generic Guy here.
This is a new section I'm trying to start, where I will talk about something, and probably it will be controversial.
I know for a fact, that I will get tons of hate for this, but I rightly don't care.
So, lets start off with Israel and Iran.
There is this ongoing feud between, Iran and Israel, which is part of the larger Middle Eastern Conflict. But the feud between Israel and Iran is over atomic power.Israel is the only Middle Eastern country that has nuclear weapons. Iran is trying gain atomic power also, whether that is for power or weapons, that is debatable.
Israel has stated that if Iran develops atomic power, Israel will invade and destroy the labs. This will lead to Iran invading Israel, naturally. Then Israel will go to the world and say that "Oh, Iran attacked us! We're the victims here!" And if that doesn't work, then they lay down that old guilt trip.
Look at how badly Israel has handled Palestine. Palestinians have been kicked out of their homes, to make way for Israeli settlers. Palestinians are treated like second-class-citizens, you know, when they are not getting thrown in jail. And when a few Palestinians stand up for themselves, it is brutally put down by the police in the streets.
And Israel is able to get away with this persecution because The West allows them to, partly because they need a base in the Middle East and partly because of the guilt trip. What is the guilt trip? you might be asking. After 1945, the newly founded state of Israel had a slogan, "Never Forget." They will never forget that 6 million Jews died in the War. 6 million Jews. Now, keep in mind, 60 Million died, but Israel is only concerned with that 6 million Jews. Why does Russia not have such a slogan? 25 Million Russian citizens died, that is 4 times the amount of Jews. Now, granted, Stalin was not all that better, but it's the principle of the matter.
Israel holds that "Never Forget" mentality over the heads of people in the West. "Europe, you are indebted to us, because 6 million Jews died." But when someone brings up the argument of "Well, Israel, you're doing the same thing to the Palestinians, that the Europeans did to the Jews in the Middle Ages." Israel throws a Hissy Fit, and threatens to go to war, dragging the Europeans into conflict unless the Europeans retract what they have said.And Europe cannot just deny Israel, for Israel will be forced to use their Nuclear Weapons when they get backed into a corner. And no one wants a Nuclear War. So, Israel gets away with everything. "Either let me do what I want, or I'll start Nuclear War."
So, Israel has gone around the Middle East, with a stick, poking at the Arab nations. Imagine that, Israel is that little annoying kid, we've all had, but we can't do anything against them, because they live in their fathers wallet. And Iran is a sleeping bear, not interfering with anyone, just minding their own bear business. So, Israel goes over to Iran and starts poking it with a stick. It pokes, and pokes, and pokes, and pokes. The bear, wakes up to find this little brat poking him, and not stopping. So the bear wakes up and rips the kid's arm clean off. And then the kid wonders why the arm is missing. The bear was just reacting to the kid, so the bear is not at fault. The brat kid brought it on himself.
If Israel attacks Iran and Iran reacts, hitting back, then Israel does not get to play the victim card, when they antagonized Iran in the first place.
Anyway, this has Been the Generic Guy with the Fireside Chat.
