I just assumed that, after seeing them clobber Gaza. Israel is genocidal.

If they ever manage to conquer it, Israel would do in Iran (a country of 90 million people) a Genocide so large that it would make the NAZI Holocaust look like a minor footnote in History.

The ultra-racist extremelly violent Jewish-supremacist modern day version of the NAZIs have only not done even worse things than the NAZIs themselves because so far they have yet to occupy enough territory inhabited by people of the ethnicities they openly call "vermin".

Whenever they invade, occupy and steal land, they open up the SS and NKVD playbook.

And the World would be like "No, Israel has the right to defend it self. There is no genocide."

Israel Is Dropping 2,000-Pound United States made Bombs on Densely-Populated Tehran

Just adding that little precision, although day by day this gets more obvious.

There's a song that is sung at (I'm pretty sure) all schools in my country, a part of everyones childhood, that goes like this:

"Last night I dreamed, something I've never dreamed before. I dreamed there was peace on earth, and all wars were over. I dreamed of a giant hall, where townsmen sat in a row
Then they wrote on an envelope, and stood up and said: "There are no more soldiers, there are no rifles. And no one knows that word military anymore" On the streets, people walked around and went from pub to pub. And everyone drank each other, and danced and smiled." (Those are translated from the Swedish lyrics, didn't think of copying the original ones).

It's originally an American peace song by Ed McCurdy, but the cover by Cornelis Vreeswijk has become ingrained in Swedish culture in a major way. I think of it often, and dream of a world where any of that is true.

Israel wants to wreck everything. They never cared if the Iranian people were going to rise up. That was just a lie to get Trump to join in and give them cover.

He probably did care for a fleeting moment, not so much about the people but about him being able to capitalise on the moment for his own benefit.

Then of course, that was too hard and TACO.

You know how in the last few turns of Civilization, as the winner has become obvious you just start attacking every nation around you to use the military you've been building the entire game?

That's where we're at

[–] Upgrayedd1776@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

war weariness and loyalty become an issue tho, if you dont speed rush domination, your cities revolt.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah that's why you do it right at the end. Or you spam cultural improvements in larger cities so the neighboring cities are cool about all the war units you produce.

I like to let the other civs catch up a little bit before going to war, and wait till the end to dominate because the advanced tech is more fun

They are running out of Palestinians to genocide now that their Final Solution law has almost passed, so it’s time to expand their ethnic cleansing campaign to ~~France~~ Iran.
