You know, the Israelis, what they are doing now could only be rivaled in stupidity by the Athenians, when they declare war on the sole superpower of the ancient world, Macedonia. Basically what you're seeing with the likes of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich is a repeat of what Athens politicians were displaying back then before it collapsed into nothingness.
See, in the years preceding the rise of Alexander's Macedonia rise to power, Athenian politicians would prop up their popularity by increasingly relying on outrageous action and rhetorics building up without consequence in the Athenian senate until a certain point where those delusional (and dangerous) rhetorics turned into actual acts of war from tiny (but over-confident) Athens against Alexander's mighty Macedonia.
When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, the mad house which is the Athenian senate decided that they should go to war with Macedonia and settle old scores. Phocion...

the sole politician who got the brains to foresight the impending disaster, noted that while Alexander's dead, his army pretty much intact tried to stop the jingoistic Athenian senate from actually declaring war against Macedonia, in vain.
So the Athenians go to war with the sole superpower of the ancient world with predicatble result. Athens would not only lose its war, but it also lose its democracy and its identity, never to recover.
Now, Athens needed a few centuries to transform their assembly from a forum for sound gentlemen into a madhouse where rhetorics rules. Israel only needs 70 years to transform their political landscape from the likes of Golda Meir to the trio Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich (and the rest of his right wing extremists) where they openly provoke not only the Arabs, but the entire Muslims
Like I said, when you look at these Israeli politicians, it is as if they're detached from reality like those Athnens politicians. The reality is the U.S., like all empires will recede. In the good times where the U.S is strong, Israel is safe, but that begs the question, what will be of Israel once America retreats?
In this area alone...
There will be more Arabs/Muslims than the Chinese in China at the end of this century (2100). Estimated to be 900-1.1 billion people, while China's population will be halved to 700 million during the same period.
So what is certain, is the Arabs that racist Israeli's so despised is there to stay and grow. What is not certain is, whether will America still be a superpower in the year 2100 ?
I'll give you an analogy. A young man in his 20s who lived in Edwardian era Britain (1900s-1910) and witnessed the launch of the Titanic (the largest man-made moving object at the time) and witnessed the peak of the British Empire, would be so heavily disappointed in his later years knowing that the Britain that he saw in his youth will be nowhere as great starting from the 1950s. While he witnessed the launch of the Titanic in his 20s, he would be disappointed to know that it would be the Russians, not the Brits who would launch the first satellite and man into space when he entered his 60s.
So there's no guarantee that America will stay 'great' even at this century, let alone the next.
And for a country that lives on life support from abroad, what Ben Gvir, Smotrich and Netanyahu is currently doing will prove FATAL for the Israelis. So enjoy it while they can, because as they say, good times never last.
Brilliant! Especially this part. The nature of the Israeli society started to drastically change after 1991--the fall of the Soviet Union allowing mass immigration of Eastern European Jews into Israel.

I just made the cardinal error of engaging with a Christian Evangelic WASP friend. I have been avoiding the Israel-Palestine conflict with him but I just told him that I will not vote for Trump due to his Middle East policies. He, as you can see from this exchange, erupted and started calling me all kinds of names. I am furious and wanted to pay him back by calling HIM some names but I don't want to ruin a long friendship which has much in common.

It is interesting that Zionists discredit everything that UN says but then jump on one factual observation by the UN that absolutely provides no concrete evidence for rape.
Either this women is compromised or the UN is trying to appear "fair and balanced" to the west after the abuse it has gotten from the Zionists and their allies over the past months. This gives no real evidence that rape was committed at all.

I give the US at tops till 2035 and then China will overpower it economically, technologically and the strongest military force in Asia, even when facing the US and its allies combined.
China does not need to challenge the US Navy to displace US hegemony in Asia and so most of the US Navy will be wasted in competition with China over dominance in Asia.
