MSM has talked about Israel’s nukes. Can’t remember which channel it was, but yesterday they were doing a comparison between Israel’s and Iran’s offense & defense capabilities.
Why won’t the mainstream media of the Western bloc, a well known propaganda apparatus that will always spin things in favour of capitalists and Western imperialism, mention Israel’s (a Western colonial project) nukes? Gee, I wonder why. 🤔😅
Everyone would rather circle around the answer
Only mainstream Western media and those who consume it without question… which I guess is a lot of people, NGL.
Interesting read about the topic

Because then the US any every other IAEA signatory would be obligated to sanction Israel which would be the end of Israel’s economy.
No news media dares mention it because they have no proof and would both loose any insider access and get buried in libel cases.
I think the West has already demonstrated that they’re perfectly happy to just ignore obligations like that, as evidenced by them all refusing to inforce the arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
Forced by who? The Republican Congress would likely say Iran deserved it, and even if they didn’t Trump would dismantle any group the executive branch is supposed to use to enforce them as he was pushing for with Russia .
Their biggest trading partner is China … not sure what they would do
It has nothing to do with a ‘republican’ congress.
Democrats wouldn’t stand up to Israel either and you’re delusional if you think otherwise.

Were you in a coma for all of last year?
Irony
You know that they put the sanctions on Russia right, even with a Republican Congress. Or do you forget how the sanctions were held until Trump came into office and stopped allowing the executive branch to uphold them?
And they didn’t put sanctions on Israel. In fact, they sent them record amounts of free weapons
That means democrats would stand up to Israel?
This is what I mean by delusion. You people are so far gone you can’t even realize it.
Sanctioning Israel if they dropped a nuke on Iran? Absolutely. I’m not even a democrat but you are living in another world if you think they wouldn’t. What realm of insanity are you living in.
Post a nuke being dropped Iran only gains sympathy for standing up for the Palestinians.
Democrat Congress members are idiots who were way behind on what their constituents wanted and had money funneled to them. But there is no way they would be able to support Israel after that and ever be elected again
Plus they killed the last people who were telling.
sanction Israel
Yeah that’s not happening
Because Israel has a disproportionate amount of control over the media.
Maybe because there’s no danger of Israel slinging nukes all over the middle east, whereas that’s always been a concern about Iran?
This is the same Israel which is currently bombing Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran?
It’s like portraying a person who is actively gunning down civilians with a handgun as "unlikely to kill anyone with a rifle’.
Of course. Israel is one of the most peaceful countries, after all.
Are you genuinely worried they will use their nukes?
When terrorists have nukes, you must always entertain the possibility they will use them. Otherwise, you’re a moron.
It’s obviously possible, you’d have to be a moron to not know that. But compared to if Iran or hamas had nukes I’m not as worried.
But that’s just because you’re racist. Israel is the genocidal state, not Iran or Palestine
Exactly, Israel is such a peaceful country. They would never invade their neighbors like Lebanon, Syria, ignore treaties, or pretend that Palestinian territory is actually belonging to them

They have literally come very close to launching them when they were losing a few battles during the Yom Kippur war when Golda Meir ordered them readied to be launched. She then extorted Nixon for supplies because if he didn’t agree to airlift in help she’d order them launched.
Like this isn’t crazy talk. They have a known policy under which they will take the entire region with them if they fall.
It’s worth considering and talking about and just because you don’t know basic history surrounding this doesn’t mean others are stupid for considering it a possibility.
If I’ve learned one thing it’s that it’s absolutely impossible to have productive discussions on geopolitics on Lemmy. People are insanely uninformed but at the same time will not move an inch from their preconceived opinions.
The fact that Israel is a warmongering country guilty of a genocide but at the same is no real nuclear threat in the region whereas Iran would be is something that exceeds the binary thinking of people here.
The fact
You mean the completely baseless assertion
At some point, with a quarter hundred downvotes and many negative replies, the person you should first inspect is not the other, but self.
Supposedly 50 million people voted for a reality tv star to have control of the largest stockpile of nuclear arms on earth… Perhaps the herd is diseased.

Israel will destroy the entire planet with nukes if they don’t get unfettered access to their “holy land.”
If you read the link you’ve provided you’ll see that it’s a last resort doctrine meant to deter neighboring countries from invading. Pretty much in line with how most western (nuclear) nations would use their nuclear arsenal.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I can’t tell how it’s any different from MAD based on what’s written.
People get very emotional when discussing Israel and can’t stay with the facts.

Plus israel has talked before about the “samson option”. When has Iran talked using nukes?
Hard talking about what you don’t have. Well almost, but now very very not almost.
