Does anyone really need these circlejerks to convince themselves?

You don't understand. Bad publicity is good publicity.
Or maybe, in this particular case... No publicity.
No publicity is good bad publicity like... Well yeah you might have a point there
Better get 2 bottles ready
Nonono they should have just gone with the geriatric wax statue
They are both trying to put a genocide on eachother since the 1920's
What you're seeing is a looong stretched religious territorial conflict. Sometimes it lasts a year. Sometimes it lasts centuries
I think what's missing from your analysis is that they tend to be socially conservative. As in, they don't like the gays and the atheists.
I sure hope they don't rush it just because they want to go do some other projects!
So much misplaced anger. Yes the economy is fucked, and your life is probably in the shitter, but immigrants aren't the ones to blame for this. Blame the 1%
I think it's a misconception that these people are angry at immigrants for economic reasons. They're angry at immigrants because they're racists.
Alas, those were different times
I'll keep repeating it: send Baldwin on and have Harris fake shoot him
The only difference between those assassinations might have been Pakistan, but even then it was a public secret that he was being protected by the ISI and so the US didn't risk informing their 'ally' of what they were about to do.
And in either of those cases, the US/Israel will have made a positive evaluation of the fallout. I've heard predictions that "Iran will instruct their proxy militias to strike at Israel". Yeah ok, what have they been doing for the last 10 months? And what caused Israel pressing the button this week? Or "They'll send a larger missile strike". Yeah ok they did that in April and unless they go full send Israel is probably going to be able to largely fend it off.
And with option nr2, some sane people might see that it's Iran that's choosing to escalate. I think it's unlikely that they want to, though. They are content just being in power and killing some sluts who dare show their hair in public, and mailing missiles to some schmucks to fight some religious wars elsewhere.
Israel just hit 2 foreigners as retaliation for Iranian-backed missile strikes on children. Earlier this year IS killed 80 Iranian civilians because they believed they were doing the worshipping thing a little bit wrong. Would they really start a war, which could end their reign, over this?
Lastly, why would Israel care who sits at the other end of the table? Haniya might have been somewhat rational, but that doesn't mean he wasn't praying for more jewish casualties five times a day. At any rate, it helps them when the other side is more openly genocidal. Israel has no real reason to stop this war before they've broken Hamas, so why would they ever want a deal that prevents this?
Maybe get another orb for that
