Netanyahu: Iran a threat to the world.
- Thread starter Danthus
- Start date
If I remember correctly the thread Amnesia's point was how many people would have to be killed before people stopped poking the bear so as to speak rather than actually suggesting a policy of appeasement he was asking at what point do you capitulate.
bs claim
gets called on bs
starts squirming
at least in the past you would post something which didnt support your claim and you pretended it did.
don't you even want to try
Depends. Context is important.
Seems the U.S. and Obama aren't very happy with him.

Hopefully there will be far more pressure on him from there, although that will only stay if the democratic candidate gets into the white house again.
If not the even more far right and racist government will probably have Carte Blanche to do what they want.

I don't throw that card at anyone, just muppets. Also my name here is Sliver not Silver. If you're going to man up and have a go, at least get my name right. Now, carry on with your weak arguments.
No he just doesn't understand how politics work. Campaign promises are often exaggerated and, as soon as the dust settles, politicians go back to reality:

In a US TV interview, Mr Netanyahu said he wanted a two-state solution, but said "circumstances have to change".
So he lied to the US / World - nothing new there.
What's important though is what he has to say to make the people of Israel vote for him - He told them there would be NO two-state solution and that Israel will not back down from its current course.
What does this tell you about the current state of the Israeli people bearing in mind they voted him back in again......

But saying something bad about Israel makes you a Nazi! The fact that Israel may actually be in the wrong is irrelevant!
That they're no different than the Palestinians who want to enact a genocide against the Jews ? Actually less different, because Israel could enact genocide at any moment, but they don't, they show enormous restraint.
Yep, seems he's backtracking somewhat, possibly because of all the negative feedback he is getting worldwide over his previous statements. The worry is that as much as he may be going through the motions to try and set something up (which seems to be the case from previous efforts), he actually doesn't want anything to happen.
Are his comments after an election and political pressure what he really thinks, or are the comments just prior to the close of a very close election that looked like he may lose his true views? Personally I'm going for the former as it explains why he has helped scupper so many chances for peace and is still very pro (illegal) settler.
Exaggerated claims and promises, particularly those related to populism, are common in all democracies. As for the state of the Israeli people, they were not convinced by the opposition, which should have won these elections given the dire economic climate in Israel.
Repeating this absurd nonsense does not make it any less absurd. Not enacting genocide against Palestinians because some of them kill 2.6 Israelis a year is NOT showing restraint, it is normal behaviour. Killing 1500 people a year in response to other people of the same religion/ethnicity killing 2.6 people of your religion/ethnicity is NOT showing restraint, it's slaughtering indiscriminately.
The IRA used to kill more than 2.6 people a year in the 70's/80's/90's and you didn't see us mowing them down in their thousands, because we showed restraint, Israel could learn a lot from us.
Silver, Sliver or Slither, whatever his name is, is tapped in the head!
You would get more sense out of a stick of rock!
Oh really? Israel has an arm length full of genocide and atrocities, from Lebanon to Jenin, they hate arabs and are hell bent on killing them and their supporters such as you are a good representation of that as you have the same sort of hatred.
As for nethanyahu, he is merely backtracking because of the criticism he is getting, he and Israel have no real interest in a peace deal or a palestinian state, they have been sabotaging those plans for decades and continue land grabbing.

Well if what we have seen is an example of restraint by Israel then I dread to think what would happen if the leash came off.
