      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.

    Over what? Half the country likes genocide and the other half likes genocide, too? All these terrorist countries like Israel, the USA and Russia can all go to hell.

      That’s what I said, out loud, as the comments loaded, right at the instant before this popped up.

    Sometimes I think about that guy I went to grad school with that posted pro Israel stuff after 10/7. I wonder if he’s a doctor now and is treating people. Imagine being a Muslim and the healthcare system putting you in the care of a shit stain zionist. Fuck.

      Probably too much to hope that they all kill themselves. I’ve been waiting to see Israel get theirs since it came out in ~2005 that they were conducting medical experiments on prisoners, including children.
