Israel-Palestine conflict is unfortunate and something that other countries should try to address with productive interventions and pressures. I see no possibility but One State Solution be it called Palestine or Israel but miracles can happen.
Iran assumes that it can sort out the aforementioned problem by force with Hezbollah types which is a grave miscalculation. Israel is showing restraint due to international pressures but there is a limit to everything. One day a leader might come and say I will see what others can do. Come take your chances.
So what do you think would be the case when Israel is repeatedly reminded that the clock is ticking for them? See post # 46 above for instance. It is not merely an opinion but reflective of a mindset which I see in Iranians here in this forum. Perhaps this sample is skewed but Iranians are in hubris if they assume that they can win every war they may choose to fight. These people have forgotten what Iraq did to them but Israel is on another level entirely. It is important to understand what type of state one is up against.
Israel have handled other countries in wars before and became a nuclear power. Israel have also developed and fielded a large number of advanced ballistic missiles and jet fighters to deliver nuclear payloads should the need arise. People should dread the day when these type of weapons will be used in large quantities because entire nations will be wiped out in the process.
What would be the point of fighting a war in which Palestinians might be wiped out in the process? Or are these people sacrificial lambs in politics of others?
No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Better strive for peace and prosperity while you can.
All those who curse Zionism like a ritual should question Russians in relation because it is the birth place of this political identity or its roots are retraced there.
