Nuclear Claims Are a Smoke Screen for Hopes of Toppling Iran
The Israeli strikes aren’t about facilities or centrifuges, but regime change.

The real debate has never been about what to do with Iran’s nuclear program. It’s always been about what to do with the regime.
Iran-Israel Conflict
Analysis and updates
For some people in Israel and the United States, the nuclear program itself is the security problem. They don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons, and so it makes sense to incentivize the Islamic Republic to behave better. That way you can offer a deal: Don’t build nuclear weapons or support terrorism, and we will remove sanctions and welcome the Iranian people back into the global community.
It was the CIA and MI5 sponsored coup in 1953 that turned Iran from a democracy to a theocracy.From Foreign Policy

Like its worked so well before in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya or Afghanistan.
Idiots, evil idiots.
That has not always been the case. When I was going to university there were many people from Palestine 40 years ago . They were good people . Time have changed the shape and politics of ME. I do blame Iran for creating the axis of evil. US policies are also to blame. I have Jewish friend, arabs and persians. I am not a fan of Israeli aggression. I judge people for who they are not where they are from .
This is very informative book.
All the Shah's Men (2003) by Stephen Kinzer
Stephen Kinzer's bestseller "All the Shahs Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror" chronicles the 1953 CIA coup that toppled Iran's democratic government of Mohammad Mossadegh. The Mossadegh Project | www.MohammadMossadegh.com

I did as well, but a year and a half of genocide and polls saying 1/2 of Israelis support genocide kind of kill that argument.
Iran's government is shitty and repressive but nowhere near the level of evil as an apartheid government at war with 5 countries to defend apartheid and genocide.
They are clearly not interested in peace.
Hamas started this bloodshed but Israel has committed genocide against them.
Iranians are in the streets. Without fear, full of hope. They live it as a new dawn and ask Israel to strike the mullahs' regime: "We will finish the rest!"
Then perhaps you should ask the Iranian citizens especially the women what they think about their government.
The occupation of Palestine is 77 years old, way older than Hamas.
They are just the latest resistance, there will be others until there is a Palestine.
There will be 1500 protests against trump this weekend, think he's any more popular?
The shit you tell yourself is very telling.
