Ronen Bergman on the Israeli Military

Israel may be strong, but a unilateral attack on Iran would be the "worst case scenario" says Bergman.

This is what passes for insightful geopolitical news ANAL-ysis these days: some hyperbolic "journalist" from a war-ravaged (war-loving?) nation describing our planet as an unending cage match between bloodthirsty governments. A world where we're all supposed to be suspicious of one another.

As his tie reveals, this is modern day Yellow Journalism.

Bergman has a future as a screenwriter in Hollywood. Perhaps an anchorman at Fox News. Or better yet, aboard a Think TANK in Capital Hell.

Of course, the inherent immorality of war never enters this guy's thinking. Also, Israel's nukes are just.... not an issue, right?

[zemersEU]

@KrispyShiznay And you believe that?

[KrispyShiznay]

@stone1home Israel doesn't have nukes.

Jews are smart. They get other people to fight their wars for them while they reap all the profits...

Just kidding....

Sort of....

NO. I'm not anti-semitic you uptight, PC, mother-fuckers.

@GTCism

I can't believe I just read that.

Israel is ILLEGALLY (get that word through your thick head) occupying and blockading Palestinian land!!

If foreign people came to your land and illegally occupied and blockaded it and cynically kept more than 80% of the population in dire perpetual poverty as part of an ongoing (and very successful) stated plan of ethnic cleansing, would YOU lay down your arms?

Why the double standards and hypocrisy with Arabs?

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

About as insightful as the watery turd I just took.

[GTCism]

If all Arabs in the middle east would lay down their weapons today we would have peace in the middle east. If Israel would lay down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel. The land that the persians and the Arabs have squatted for the last couple of thousand years was Israels, giving to them bu the creator of all. That land in part was returned to them as promised in 1948, the land we now know as Israel.

Bergman is not Smart

[artbiz45]

any Iranian say War is: A- not justified B- out of question 1- not Justified because: A- Iran has never attack first, invade any country for centuries or used Chemical warfare B- Iranian people Love American people C- Iran is a beautiful country has a vast History in civilization and has contributed to the world including to the Jewish people. 2- It is out of question A- they are assertive and will fight until the enemy is exhusted B- they may have the BOMB Best is to talk

If you were looking for a dangerous country to attack, one with WMDs and a history of attacking its neighbours, a history of ethnic cleansing AND a nuclear strike force, why look all the way over there in Iran? I mean, if you want to make the world safe from rogue regimes with WMDs--why not start with our little Zionist friend here, and his country. There have been how many virtually unanimous UN resolutions against Israel-..300? All vetoed by the US.
