I’m thinking of it more as the decline of the Roman Republic.

don’t worry, there’s still a lot of way to go for the American empire.

would you also claim the same for the United States? Their original sin is even darker, as most natives did not move away but simply died.

Iriginal sin is not necessarily destiny.

Lol, this sounds like a quote from someone in 1914 being catastrophicly wrong.

…or from someone describing one of the scores of conflicts since where “regional” has been a fitting description

of course not. the alternative should be a free and open society where Jews are but one of many groups.

Israel is currently sliding away from this - sadly - but it still has the potential

You want to force Jews into the diaspora again? Brilliant move, that worked so well for them the first time around. /s

YOU GET THE BOMB, YOU GET THE BOMB, YOU GET THE BOMB, EVERYONE GETS THE BOMB!

Them not behaving more recklessly than Israel is unfortunately not a high bar; which given their past actions I’m not sure they’d pass. I’d like to err on the side of caution here.

I dont see the potential for global conflict.

Israel and Iran have been trading blows for decades now. Some direct, many indirect. It’s a regional conflict, and regional it will remain.

Every now and then, Israel acts to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power – and honestly, we’re all the better for it, the world does not need another set of religious crazies to have nukes.

(That being said, is Netanyahu a deplorable asshat? Absolutely yes – but for different reasons)

Do I need to remind everyone

Judging by the number of downvotes your getting: yes.

you think WW3 is starting because of Israel? Can I also get under the rock your been living under, must be nice there.

so wie man Querdenken mit Quarkdenken übersetzen kann, so muss freidenken hier mit freidrehen übertragen werden :>

If you help the regime come into existence, you are rewarded

well don’t count on that. totalitarian regimes have a tendency to be paranoid and to enact rather unpleasant purges at every level of the organisation.

Der Unterschied ist, daß die AfD auf dem Papier bzw auf offiziellen Webseiten brav verfassungstreu zu sein behauptet.
