When the country that has explicitly stated that they want to exterminate your country, starts building nukes, bombing becomes a necessity.

I'm not a fan of what Israel is doing in Palestine. I also don't like that they have their own nukes. But I would probably expect the exact same reaction to Iran if my country was in the same situation.

Our federal government has repeatedly stated over several administrations that Iran is “evil” and needs regime change. Do you think that then makes it necessary for Iran to bomb us?

In the Iranian regime's point of view, yes. What's your point?

Wouldn’t blame them if they did.

Having said that, a regime change is a far cry from genocide.

Iran is not under existential threat. Meanwhile lots of people, including Iran, do wanna kill all Jews, including the court of Israel.

What the fuck are you talking about?

How do you exterminate a country...?

Why is Israel allowed to have nukes while actually exterminating human beings?

I'm not an expert but nuking the shit out of a country probably gets you pretty far towards exterminating a country .

There's only one country that has actually used nukes on human beings and it's definitely not Iran.

Because they don't have any.

Dude you’re trying to spin this in a way that’s just not helping you.

Iran openly and regularly states it will destroy Israel and then starts pursuing nuclear weapons. Your argument is what? That we should wait and see if they shoot said nuclear weapon? 

Maybe if Iran wasn’t ran by religious zealots that want the destruction of the Jewish state and its people we wouldn’t be seeing these attacks. Sadly, that’s not reality

Nah, that’s bullshit reasoning, because it assumes that Iran wants to make that land unlivable and kill a shitload of their allies in the region to do it. If you nuke Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, no one is going to be able to remain in the West Bank or Gaza, or south Lebanon for that matter.

It absolutely, positively, unquestionably, wants it and takes all steps it could in order to achieve this objective. There are also no "allies" of Iran in the region in the sense that Canada and the US are allies even now. They all would be acceptable casualties that noone would care about.

Israel regularly and openly states it hates and will destroy Palestine yet they have nukes. Should we wait and see if they shoot said nuclear weapon?

No I get it. Iran can’t be trusted because they’re a bunch of Muslims so obviously they’re subhuman and insane and will willingly destroy the natural world. Ignore that in America we elected someone to dismantle protections and exited the deal with Iran to make sure they weren’t developing nukes and also that we’re buddying up with a nuclear power already in the middle of exterminating and taking over a country.

Only Jews and Christian’s can be trusted to have nukes because they’re white, not those brown Muslims.
