No, they were not living on the land, those lands were predominantly Palestinian. We’ve discussed this before: Israelites were dispersed a long time ago, and other people settled there, so the land does not necessarily belong to Israel or to Jews.

Similarly, even in the Bible, before the Jews took that land by force, other people were living there. So technically, there is no direct link. You have to respect those who were there when you return or fight.

Another issue is that you repeat things without asking why. Why was Israel attacked? Can your neighbors attack you for no reason? Your idea that U.S. support for Israel is equivalent to China supporting Iran doesn’t fully hold. If Iran and Palestine had received support from China and Russia in 1948, perhaps we would be looking at a very different Middle East today.
It would be very bad for you to transit from mischiefs to outright lies and falsehoods!
There has NEVER been a period in history that Jews were not living in the land of Israel! NEVER!

The fact that the Romans conquered the Jews and drove most of them to exile did not mean there were no single Jew living on the land. There were Jews but in the minority because many Arabs came from neighboring cities and countries to occupy their land.
If you say in the Bible, the Jews took the land from people living there, let those people come back for their land if they are alive and have the means. But the Jews are alive and back to the land they occupied before the Arabs (Palestinians) came. It is first come, first serve!

Seems you believe there can be justification for the attack on Jews!
The attack on Jews is also rooted in the ideology and belief system of the enemies.
Ask yourself why virtually all of the enemies of Israel that attack it are from a particular belief system. Why is the Iranian leader calling himself a supreme, spiritual leader and he is higher than the president, judiciary, legislature all combined?

That may look terrible, but it is part of war, not necessarily by Iran. It is a form of guerrilla warfare: if you don’t have advanced aircraft, you fight with what you have, which often involves surprise attacks.

Did you take the time to read how Israel was treating Palestinians in the occupied territories before October 7, or does your knowledge start there? Palestinians in their own land were treated in ways many compare to apartheid.

Everything you’re seeing is action and reaction that dates back to after the Second World War. But if you only follow Western media without critical analysis, you won’t understand much.
Rationalizing the actions of the enemies of Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah etc. sponsored by Iran, who want Israel destroyed immediately!
But when Israel reacts and defends itself, you say Netanyahu wants to become uncontested super power in the middle east.

Anyone who says the land belongs to so called ''Palestinians'' should bring out historical records to prove it, not the 1948 rhetoric. Jerusalem, Shiloh, Bethlehem, Beersheba, Hebron etc. are not places that started existing only in 1948.

I asked him a question to understand Michael’s point of view. It’s clear he is repeating things without understanding them. Now, I can explain why there is friction between Iran and Israel, I’ve actually addressed this before.

After World War II, people who identified as Jews, mostly in Germany and other parts of the world, were compensated by the British and the U.S., the war’s victors. Part of that compensation involved establishing a country for them in the Middle East. After that, Israel began to expand, which contributed to the issues we still see today. With the support of the U.S., Israel has, over the years, taken more land from Palestinians and parts of Lebanon.

In the last 20 to 30 years, America has had little choice but to side with Israel due to powerful Israeli lobbying organizations like AIPAC, which to a large extent influence who gets elected.
You see, your problem is that to you, everything about Israel started from 1945 or 1947.

1. ....Part of that compensation involved establishing a country for them in the Middle East
The LAND of Israel had existed long before they became State. They are still living on the land of their ancestors

2. ....After that, Israel began to expand
How did Israel expand? Israel was attacked severally by enemies from some strategic geo-locations surrounding them so they took over those locations during the war. If Israel was destroyed in those wars, you would not be here pleading for their land to be given back to them.

3....US supports Israel.
Russia, China etc also support Iran. So enough of the noise of US support

Okay, you don’t have answers...

My advice still stands: do your homework, don’t just echo whatever you hear. Ask questions, seek truth and logic. Thank you.
The answer is in their Charter! They want to wipe Israel off the earth because the believe Israel is usurping the land of Muslims, and the whole of Israel does not deserve to exist.
I thought you must have learnt that in your homework.

NOTE: I seek truth, not necessarily logic because logic is not constant and can be manipulative. But the truth is always constant and endures.
You' re apparently being misled and confused by some of the logic that you bring into issues where only the truth counts and matters most.

ositadima1:
Let’s assume your claims are true, then why? Why would the Ayatollah want to wipe out Israel? You need to calm down and think; I believe that’s far better than regurgitating others’ opinions.

Why would Iran want to destroy the Jews when Jews are also a group within Iran? Or did you not know that? There are Iranian Jews; in fact, one of their synagogues in Tehran was hit and destroyed by an Israeli airstrike a few days ago.

So, why? Learn to think for yourself and filter what you read and hear, it’s a useful skill.
You are still in the business of mischief! Yes, by making reference to Jews in Iran and telling me to ask myself why Ayatollah wants to destroy Israel.
You want me to ask myself why Iran's Ayatollah would want to wipe out Israel?.
But have you answered the question whether it makes any sense at all or if the Ayatollah should be accorded the luxury to explain or justify why he should declare or aim to wipe off another country from the earth? Is the Ayatollah God?
Should he or his followers and believers be allowed to play God to explain or justify such declaration in the first place? Would you accept any reason he gives as justified or justifiable?

It will also do you some good to see everybody contributing on a discourse as being capable to reasoning and making independent inferences and deductions on issues.
No need grandstanding by asking everyone to read, think, learn, educate themselves etc. at the slightest chance on every matter even when you are clearly off track.
The books, journals, publications, researches etc. that you may be reading now, some might have read them over and over long before you discovered them.

The person you quoted IS RIGHT

USA and Israel have suffered reputational damage on account of this war

Secondly, all those armed groups iran back in the region are resistance groups that sprung up IN RESPPONSE to Israeli aggression and land grabbing

Im glad you even used the benue and plateau situation, because the Israeli are the fulani herders in this scenario.

I wont be a child growing up in the West Bank or Gaza, then a group of Israeli settlers will come chase me out of my land because one. "uzeless god " somewhere promised you the land, and i would not fight back, ko possible


Two states solution is the way to go, but zig Israel dont want it
What they want is uncontested freeway to land grab and kill with impunity, and there is 48 years of history at the very least to prove it

Trump moving the US embassy to Jerusalem was a provocation that other presidents knew the ramifications of, but refrained from doing it
You are free, with full discretion, to call or describe anybody how you want to. Call Him all the derogatory adjectives you can think of. It is your choice!

All I know is that, there are no historical records anywhere on earth about the Middle east, that are superior or greater in truth, pure fact, authentic evolution than the Bible and Quran.
Thankfully, each side of the divide can relate to at least one of these holy books.
What do these books say about the land in question?
The ruth is the ruth!
I rest my case.

I cannot allow you to come and steal my inheritance and when you are caught, you now tell me that we must share it into two.
Why ask it be shared into two if it truly belongs to you?
Sounds familiar? The King Solomon's parable...

The same Jerusalem that King Solomon ruled over, after his father King David, is not being called some name ''Palestine'', to be shared between some ''people'' and the sons of David!

What about the damage done to the USA? The petrodollar concept that has helped the U.S. fund its development for almost 50 years is coming to an end. The dollar-for-crude system has been cracked open. It was already happening gradually, with Russia and China increasingly buying and selling crude in non-dollar currencies, and this Iran war will only accelerate that shift.

Regarding Iranian infrastructure, don’t worry, China and Russia are there. Iran will likely rebuild faster than you expect. It has oil (and therefore money) and powerful allies. At the end of the day, they have kept their uranium and still retain the freedom to pursue their missile capabilities. If there was division before, this war may have helped unify the country.

You should be asking: what has the U.S. actually gained from this campaign?

Netanyahu will likely be dissatisfied, as his objective appears to have been the complete destruction of Iran to secure uncontested power in the Middle East.

If I were Iran, I would quickly restock from China and Russia, especially anti-missile systems and air defenses, because Netanyahu could return with another justification for an attack.
You are one of the people who love to twist narratives to serve your interests, even in the face of obvious truth.

The Iranian regime, since 1979 under Ayatollah Khomeini , declared their ambition to wipe Israel off the surface of the earth. Netanyahu was not the PM of Israel at the time.
Ayotallah Khamanei, since coming to power in 1989, continued the declaration and ambition to destroy Israel. Netanyahu was not the PM of Israel in 1989

You are quiet and silent on the unwarranted, irresponsible and reckless declaration and ambition by the Iranian regime to unleash bloodshed and kill Israelis living in Israel, exterminate them from this world by building nuclear weapons and sponsoring terror allies in Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc.
Rather, probably by reason of high-grade anti-Israel mischief, you are now turning around to blame Netanyahu and accuse him of aiming to secure uncontested power in the middle east! How pathetic!

With the direction of your assertions in these matters, I would not be surprised if one day, you blame the leaders of Benue and Plateau and accuse them of fighting the Fulanis because they want to secure uncontested power in the middle belt!

The UK also used propagadas to start the Opium war in China.The Opium war was started in order to counteract or destroy the advancing Chinese economy .The USA also used the Covid 19 form of propaganda but it never worked against the Chinese economy because China has learned from the Opium war with the UK.

Both the UK and the USA have the same thing in common;if they cannot control you,they will use propagandas to give you a bad name in order to start a war with you. cool

So that was why Iran told its citizens to form human chains as shield around the power plants in order to prevent US and Israel from bombing them to ashes? This, in your thinking, is the action that comes from ''a match in Iran''?
A country that lost virtually all its most important leaders in a space of 1 month? This is the expression and fulfilment of your ''a match in Iran''?

Please open your Google and search for Iran's fight against ISIS and Al qaeda.

Infact, Iran helped US invade both Iraq and Afghanistan, a mistake they will regret.

Iran has never sponsored any suicide bombing. It has no affiliation with any group terrorising Nigeria. The only Iran affiliated group in Nigeria is the Elzakzaky group whom the Buhari regime killed for fighting Boko Haram.

Why are you hating on a nation that has done nothing against Nigerians just because of some narratives in the media?
It is a fact known all over the world. Iran is motivated by the beliefs and ideology of their revolution. They see Israel as usurper of Muslim lands and must be destroyed. To them, Israel is also an extension of the Western which is polluting Muslim land in the middle east.
These are clearly stated in the Charter of the Iranian regime as well as their proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc

You can google or search for it yourself to learn what everybody else knows.

Iran is motivated by fanatical religious beliefs in their quest to destroy Israel and obliterate it from surface of the earth. They see it as a divine injunction and obligation according to their faith and beliefs in the Shia Islam.
