    No one was interested in an escalation except Israel. Iran has repeatedly shown that they want to keep it at fighting through proxies. Syria is in shambles and Lebanon is struggling too. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are all bought by the US.

    Israel will stay at war, because that is what is keeping Bibi in power and now they have the opportunity for mass murder and land grabs like they haven’t had in a long time.

    The US could end all of this and if the US wasn’t a genocidal colonial force on both parts of the political isle, it would do so.

        It’s not about religion. Don’t fall for this narrative.

        Iran has its Jewish community which has political representatives.

        At the end of the discussion Khomeini declared, “We recognize our Jews as separate from those godless, bloodsucking Zionists”[62] and issued a fatwa decreeing that the Jews were to be protected.
