    Israel is not only at the very center of the world (look at maps: it’s very much the geographic center. That’s why we call it middle east.)

    it’s also reckless and like a dying star, a supernova. it blows up without regards to casualties. it is a very dangerous situation that we’re in indeed.

      I dont see the potential for global conflict.

      Israel and Iran have been trading blows for decades now. Some direct, many indirect. It’s a regional conflict, and regional it will remain.

      Every now and then, Israel acts to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power – and honestly, we’re all the better for it, the world does not need another set of religious crazies to have nukes.

      (That being said, is Netanyahu a deplorable asshat? Absolutely yes – but for different reasons)
