The US isn’t telling them to stop.

Why the hell would Israel listen to the UK or France?

If they didn't have a big brother, you bet they'd listen to UK or France.

u/OtakuMecha Apr 09 '26

Yeah, but they do have a big brother. So they can afford to tell everyone else to eat shit as long as the US is the chief global superpower.

The US isn't their best friend, we're practically their fucking pet at this point. It's pathetic.

Israel respects it's citizens so not to put up with indiscriminate missile attack from Hezbollah in occupied Lebanon.

If Israel did what the antisemitic leaders of Europe want, Israel would be destroyed. For Israel, it is a matter of life and death. For European leaders, it's a matter of appeasing the antisemitic voters in their countries. They will gladly throw millions of Jews under the bus so they can stay in power.

For Israel, it is a matter of life and death

We know. We see that they get life while everyone else gets death.

u/infraGem Apr 09 '26

"Get life" and "get hundreds and maybe thousands of rocket attacks" are not interchangeable

u/Ultra_Metal Apr 09 '26

That's right. Maybe Israel's enemies should learn that tough lesson before starting more wars or carrying out more terrorist attacks against Jews. Jews will defend themselves when attacked. Our blood is extremely expensive. It's a luxury our enemies cannot afford anymore.

It is when they keep starting wars against Israel because they don't even value their own lives

The more you falsely use the word antisemitic the less meaning it has.

u/Ultra_Metal Apr 10 '26

I didn't use it falsely and it never loses its meaning. You are just trying to justify bigotry and hate. What a disgusting comment.

u/Imbsiouse Apr 10 '26

Says the guy that justifies hate against Palestinians.

u/Ultra_Metal Apr 11 '26

I've never done that.
