      The collapse of Israel is a good time for no-one. You know for a fact the situation that replaces it will be twice as bad as the cluster fuck that is the situation now.

        Well given the fact it’s currently effectively a dictatorship I can’t see how it can degrade any further.

          Israel has around 90 nuclear warheads with the materials to build up to about 200. The only thing I can imagine being worse is if idiots even more unhinged than their current government acquire and use them. Yes, the bar is that low.

          What do you think would happen if the Israeli state collapsed tomorrow?

          1. All Jews and Arabs hold hands in a circle and sing Kumbaya
          2. A power vacuum leads to extremely powerful terrorist groups forming who take over the region, including the few dozen nuclear weapons that were previously controlled by the Israeli state.

          • anything that has bad must be decried as bad in all aspects and nothing good is allowed to be said about it in any context whatsoever
          • anything good must be praised unquestionably in all aspects and nothing negative must ever be said about it in any context whatsoever.

            Yes, because disregard all historical background as everyone knows without western enlightenment all brown people revert to their natural state, being terrorists.
