I’m not sure if bad faith or just not paying attention tbh. 1 and 2 were very simple questions

I do recall you saying awhile back that Israel has been in favor of a two state Palestine solution for the last 80 years, actively ignoring the sabotaging Israel has done for a two state solution for the last 2 decades - if you did not say this I apologize. My
Forum Memory has taken a hit after kids

My answer to your question is what our intelligence division has been saying publicly for the last year (and most recently 2-3 days ago with tulsis hearing which I listened to all of) since our Iran strike last summer. Which is - their enrichment capacity is nothing to be concerned about and they are NOT near nuclear weapon facility. I am not saying they aren’t stockpiling 60% uranium enrichment products. Although I would also argue, given it is practically confirmed Israel is a nuclear power, this is the logical cause and effect

From the American perspective, this remains my view
1. Epstein distraction
2. Beholden to Israel
3. Intention to inflate energy costs

With all being true but the 3rd being the primary driver

Besides, the US executive has already pivoted away from the nuclear line being the reasoning for this recent escalation. You are literally like 3 weeks behind

Blinded by hatred and racism

I have literally zero hate for any race or religion. A country’s actions are distinct from this and very important to separate the two, especially on this topic. The problem with rational discourse is when people try to overlap these topics. If you’re American you should really have a disgust for authoritarianism whether they be brown, white , black, Muslim, Jewish, atheist , or child rapers. For some reason that’s hard for many to do

I am an Israeli Jew.
We live in a democracy not a 3rd world shit hole

I agree it isn’t 3rd world, but I am not sure why that is relevant to anything we are saying. 3rd world nations should still get some respect. It is a nuclear power and speed racing its way to becoming a super power. It certainly is not a democracy however

Yes, I've said that. Israel agreed to the UN partition plan while Palestinian representatives refused to even sit in the same room as any jews during negotiations, refused any deal except the total expulsion of all jews, and then gathered their allies and attacked the moment England and the UN left. Then they attacked at every opportunity for 80 years while Israel repeatedly negotiated for ceasefires after winning.

We can shift to this conversation if you'd like but I'd rather solve the first one.

If you accept that they had/have a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, that is admitting that they were close to acquiring nuclear weapons. There's no possible way to argue that this is not the case, but go on and try if you'd like.

As I said, enrichment is the only major barrier to creating nuclear weapons.

If you disagree with these things tell me why instead of repeating "bad faith" and implying that I must agree with everything the trump admin says. You are talking to me, not them. Their public positions are not relevant to the conversation unless YOU believe them and want to try to use them as arguments from authority.

They decided to invest all their resources in destroying my country.
We are returning a favor.
Israel is a democracy whether you like it or not.

There was no Palestinian representative back then, they were simply Arabs and refused to identify as palestinians (the jews were the Palestinians).
The “Palestinian” narrative started at the late 60s

They mold people in our military usa ...So as all Jewish people that grow up in Israel or decide to move there from anywhere in the world. need to serve in your military ..What are they molding you all into? Have you ever thought about that? no other races are given that choice.. you also segregate people in borders ..Have you ever read the definition of a apartheid ?

you cannot call Israel anything but unless you have your own definition of the word apartheid...

Okay you won!
