You think things have changed? Bless your heart. Iran is no better now than it was then. Iran is a bitter enemy and that has not changed. Iran's first target for a nuclear strike would be Israel. Guess which nation is second?

Obama and Bush funded AlQueda

Hezbollah has claimed that it no longer takes orders from Iran. Its a fair point to say Iran has supported Hezbollah as Iran created it to fight for Lebanon against Israel. No one is disputing that Iran and Israel hate each other. Israel can fight a war with Iran, I dont give a damn. I am just not gonna support either side or pretend one is completely good while the other completely evil

What you want see is how they treat their people without seeing on a video. Their people have been under a maniacal leader who has oppressed his people. I guarantee that most citizens are glad to see what is happening. But nothing will change unless there is a regime change and get Iran back like it was in the 60's and 70's. Don't believe what you hear from the legacy media. If they were teaching Civics again in school people would have a different view of the Iran 50 years ago vs Now.

As I keep repeating,, hate is such a huge waste of time & energy. The 100's of years' history of the Middle East is not a product of Israel's propaganda. "Israel is lying" as justification of your hate is so so ugly. Israel is surrounded by 6 Arab countries, all of whom have expressively proclaimed their desire for the destruction of Israel. ( Remember the 6 Day War by any chance?) They can't afford to fight back for their survival by being gentlemen. This is a fight for their country's life .Remember the U.S. Congressman who stated it was "not gentleman- like to open Nazis' mail?

Jordan and Israel have had a peace treaty since 1994. Jordan helped intercept some missiles and/or drones Iran launched towards Israel since October 7th.
Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 during their civil war. Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006. They've had a cease fire agreement since last year.
Israel occupies the Golan Heights, and has taken control of more Syrian territory since the fall of the Assad regime. Israel agreed to disengage from the Golan Heights in 1974. Since then, Israel has placed 25,000 settlers in the Golan Heights and passed funding in 2021 to double the amount of Israeli settlers in the area.
So that's the four countries that border Israel. What are the other two you are referring to?

I don't belive anything from either side!
Everything we the people are told are what they want us to believe.

Those treaties occurred after failed invasions of Israel and those Arab states decided they'd had enough of getting their asses kicked.
It's basically what the Palestinians have refused to do.

The poster I was replying too implied Israel was surrounded by benevolent neighbors, when in fact those relationships were forged through Israeli victory in war.

quote:For Egypt, yeah. And Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt and the US agreed to give Egypt a bunch of foreign aid. Jordan and Israel hadn't been at war in over 20 years. Jordan even kicked the PLO out in the mid-1970s. The status quo would have been okay, but Uncle Sugar provided an incentive for an actual peace treaty.

Israel hasn't won a war without external support since they rebelled against the British Mandate.

quote:Plus, the Iranian government openly funds and arms terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. If Iran stop doing just this, there would be far less conflict in the Middle East. Israel has no conflict with many Muslim countries that border them. Egypt and Jordan come to mind. Every country that is in conflict with Isreal, has close ties to Iran.
Btw, nobody doubts their people aren't good folks. Their government in case you weren't aware, is really shite. Do you realize their government has no problem in going out, picking scapegoats for various minor infractions and torturing them? They do this almost daily.
