Israel is an ally for nobody, they are a rogue state to begin with, no one will any longer be fooled by their deception, even the EU is getting fed up with Israel.

Stfu the Holocaust industry of victimhood no longer affects me, and no longer affects millions of people around the world, after witnessing the abuse of power that comes with it, Palestine, fucking false flag attacks not only in foreign countries but in America, their biggest donor, The Holocaust issue just don't cut anymore, and you probably are forgetting that in Russia people have no guilt about the Holocaust whatsoever.

"It is a hard sell if people think it's hypocracy", ha, Peter makes it pretty clear what he thinks about Israel, too many people completely buy Israel's "soft power", maybe "buy" isn't the right word considering who pays for it, let's say too many people sell their opinion forming abilities to Israel, which Israel use to get away with their hard power. Always good to hear people who it hasn't worked on make it clear that it hasn't worked on them.

@OutSideDeMatrix All but sheeple know they're now reading from the same script for Iran that they used for Iraq. This time we have no excuses: We know what is coming. We know they are lying about Iranian nuclear weapon programs

The question is: HOW do those of us that live in DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES stop another ILLEGAL WAR, being fought in our names, BEFORE 3,000,000 Iranians are murdered due to government LIES?

Any suggestions, bon ami?

Now is the time to UNITE n FIGHT!

I find it telling how everyone's having a civilized chat at the beginning and when the guy from Jerusalem is called on he goes into a full scale attack on Palestinians and how they portray themselves as victims and how they manipulate the media and on and on (pot/kettle/black), as if that's possibly anywhere near the truth.I also find it amusing that they have someone spreading propaganda in a discussion ABOUT propaganda.

Guy keeps saying Israel doesnt portray themselves as victims. What a joke!

PR=propaganda, no difference.

I feel sorry for Israel. This time last year they fenced in Gaza and set about killing over 1000 Palestinian women, children, policemen and other civilians and yet nobody will see them as a victim! This is so unfair. Why is it that poor Israel cannot portray itself as a victim while acting as a murdering bully? Oh yeah, it's that darned Al Jazeerah!
