Thread: There is the usual talking point going around the pro-Iran-Regime-Lobby in which Israel is once again presented as somehow doing something wrong by seeking to work with the US on Iran threats...or that Israel could start a "war"...the usual "war" bogeyman myth

The fact is that Israel is the one being threatened. Israel doesn't run proxy groups throughout the Middle East and arm them illegally by giving militias weapons...or have whole days devoted to bashing Iran or soldiers marching on Iran's flag. Only Iran does that.

There is never going to be a "war" with Iran, war is the talking point to claim that those who oppose the Iran regime far-right extremists are "hawks" or "for war"...which is nonsensical. Iran's regime can't afford a war, that is why it arms militias in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,Yemen

Iran knows how to get the poor to do the fighting for it...recruiting people from Pakistan and Afghanistan, not to defend their own communities, but sending them to Syria while they are attacked at home by extremists. Awful.

So the "war' talking point is always used to claim Israel wants "war"...or "drives wars"...but there is no evidence of this. Israel is totally open about its goals to deter Iran or keep its entrenchment in Syria away from the Golan. Israel found relative calm with hamas-Hezbollah

Look at Hamas and Hezbollah, they don't want "war"...Iran doesn't want "war" and neither does Israel...no one wants "war"...it's just a talking point dragged out in western media to present a "pro-war" and "anti-war" stance.

The most anti-war country is Israel...it wants to build its economy and continue making peace deals...it has zero interest in conflict and all its investment in defense tech, for precision weapons and air defense, is to stop large wars.

The idea that Israel somehow is in the way of US-Iran getting along is nonsense. Israel would like Iran to back off, stop the weapon transfers to Hezbollah and behave peacefully.

Imagine if Iran transferred books and university education to southern Lebanon, as opposed to weapons...imagine Iran building schools in Deir Ezzor, instead of bunkers...imagine Iran investing in music in Iraq, instead of militias.

Iran's regime every day wastes resources on missiles, drones, more missiles, militias, extremism...while Israel is plowing money into a diverse economy. Absolute waste by Iran on its region ambitions.

It's great and all that Iran helped fight ISIS. That was good...but what it has done with its influence after that was not helpful. Iran is not the only negative actor, Ankara also is aggressive. But in the end of the day Israel has zero interest in 'war'..

Israel would like the US administration to listen to its concerns about Iran's munitions transfers and threats. That's the big goal. Listen to concerns about the nuclear program and arming of militias and drone threats, etc. The 'war' narrative is bunk.
