Starpunk....the west hated Gaddafi for a number of reasons ....a big one being he sought unity of African states and a move away from the US dollar in inter country trade.

He was never the bogey man the simpleton neocons portrayed.

How many presidents of the US did he see come and go ?

Longevity....until NATO began their astro turfing of "opposition groups ", none united with each other by the way.

So Gaddafi goes, and these groups raid the military weapons barracks fermenting more civil war.

And, by the way, an influx of migrants from Africa transiting to Europe through Libya , something not occurring during Gafaffi time.

"Slouching towards Sirtre "is the academic analysis you havent read, and clever readers will see the word "slouching " as referencing a WB Yeats poem....the one that begins .....

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer "

There is a lot people dont know.

"Biggest parade ever ,....in the history of mankind....perhaps even the whole Universe "

J Bone....have you seen pics of Gaza ?

Destroyed as if by carpet bombing.

The bombs themselves may be less in number but the ordinance is 100 times plus.

The effect is the same as carpet bombing.

I wouldnt add "lol "as a way to seem clever when the opposite affect occurs.

Anyway....is that all youve got.

All agencies, countries and the UN describe Israels attacks as totally disproportionate.

And still Al Aqsa rises up and shoots the invaders

LOL !

As Nazi Germany became synonymous with evil post WW2, Israel will be tagged with "the cowards country " following these ruthless and indiscriminate 6 mile high, computer targeted bombing raids.

Get down on the ground level and engage your enemy if you are so fearless.

Garlic eater....I know too much about Israel, Hamas and the blockade of decades.

Saddens me.

What is "coming " for Israel is already here....War crime indictments, international pariah state, charge of ethnic cleansing , ghettoisation of Gaza, forced expulsion of people ......do you wish more opprobrium on Israel

They revel in it.

The world is now anti Israel....well done....what an achievement,!

Israel is a failed state by many measures.

Hows that "foreign investment, tourism, immigration " going ?

Down the toilet according to all economic figures.

People like Iranians are not going to "rise up " against their own Government when under attack......Necon ninconpoop,!

There are no substantial anti Govt. groups in Iran that are not funded from outside.

Therefore, no organic, large scale groups to challenge the status quo.

Now tell me, Mr. American adventurer, would you see a "new Iran " giving oil and mineral wealth away ?

Read about what happened last time, under the Shah.

Lets put some IDF boots on the ground and see how a reservist army fares against a professional one.

Garlic ...an echo chamber called Hasbara and delivered to your in box fresh each day.

The state of Israel should have been given a 100 year probationary period, or treaty as seen with Hong Kong, to assess how this experiment in land acquisition and transfer would play out

Certainty would have failed the civilised state that can live peacefully criteria.

Garlic eater....how would you describe the carpet bombing of Gaza by Israel

"Precision carpet bombing "?

I dont get a say....you try kicking a 45 kilo lab off the bed when it doesn't want to move.

Will Israel be guessing the number of kids killed and maimed ?

Thats about all they have.

Australian advertising law prevents showing changes in "atmosphere or fun times ' on commercials showing alcohol.

Changes in people , smiling, communicating, similarly outlawed.

Certainly not the case here in Japan, a drinkers paradise if you consider access and price.

Somebody got to Trump.

Suddenly some illegals are more "equal than others "

MAGA....spin it how you want.

Can't Board of Directors be bound by decisions in interests of shareholders and owners , I would imagine some legislative and legal requirement to act in this way......hence the mysterious "Golden Share " as envisaged by trump, may not comply in say 6 months time.

World markets change.

Trump cant predict what will happen tomorrow.

We shall see.

BTW....how does the world see Israel now ?

Not good.

Ricky, so I imagine you can place your hand on the Iran state based doctrine that seeks Israels destruction ?

I mean , for you , it is so clear BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE ?

There must exist a policy explicitly stating what you assert....or is it "in the shadows "

Now, on the Israeli side their is much evidence they want to destroy Iran....listen to the leading Politicians.

BUT....commentators on things see Israel attitude to Iran as a ruse to cover up zero change in the Palestinian question.

It is Israel in its current political leadership that is lighting fires all over the ME.

If you punish the employers who use illegal immigrants, you punish gool old Republican people

That simple.

Bass....were in the Iran department of state is there a mission to "destroy Israel "

You have been fed the hasbara rubbish havent you.

People on the street chanting "death to US or Israel " does not translate into a state backed policy.

Israelis yell "death to Arabs " all the time.

And what is "rogue " about seeking nuclear power.

Australians political parties are also considering it.

The real fact is the US State Department has had a long standing program to destroy and steal oil revenues from a number of ME nations....Libya, Iraq, now Iran.

The neo cons have this policy in writing.

See The Plot to Invade Iran.

Ask the Israel boosters why they want to see Israel "win ".....then look at what "winning " looks like in Gaza, then consider charges of genocide on Israel heads of Government and Military through the UN no less., look at the tens of thousands of INNOCENT deaths, the use of hunger as a war tactic ,the destruction of everything in Gaza from homes, hospitals, places of worship, Universities, the destruction of farmland and of course, the arbitrary killing of medical workers.

Ahhh...I think you are on the wrong side .

Borne of US relations with Israel, the false presentation of Israel as a "little nation , the only democracy in the ME and a big helping of the Jewish lobby, Fox news and the like....

Compare all this to Iran A COUNTRY YOU KNOW ZERO ABOUT.

I call this wilfull ignorance.

No US support, no Israel.

Might have to return the UN gift of land to the zionists made in1948

Back to Europe seems likely and just

Israel hasn't been able to "remove the Hamas threat,', nor the "Hezbollah threat ", both non state actors without traditional defence infrastructure.

If you cant defeat a rag tag militia group, what hope defeating a real nation like Iran with decades of defence building

Presume Netanyahu still hiding in his bunker.....warrior !

Japan can join with France, other EU states and Saudi Arabia, in recognising a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders.

Unlike the USA, Japan has a free hand in dealing with the current zionist Israel

Meanwhile in countries and campuses all around the world, sad Jewish people ask "Why is there so much anti semiticism ?"

NB..."Israel a tiny little nation "...yep, thanks to the UN

"Now fighting for its life "...yep....thanks to the actions of Israel.

"Given the world the Bible "...yep that amazing ahistorical account of talking snakes, golden calfs and an enslavement in Egypt that Egypt has no record of.

This is pertinent because ancient Egypt keep yearly records of crop yeilds and floods....curious how there is no mention of "enslaved Jews "

NB....a voice alone in the wilderness of this forum......

Just on the "womens hair " thing in Iran.....there are many you tubers travelling throughout Iran and guess what

Some women dont cover their hair, some do , some partially. You see it in the video shot by random westerners.

These are scenes shot on railway stations, trains, malls , street cafes etc.

So the crazy claim above that women are murdered for showing hair is demonstrably false.

Secondly, look at women in Iran rates of Uni Graduation in areas like engineering....exceeds the USA and is on par with north Euro nations.

Child sex trade and child marriage, similarly a slur from someone who appears with each comment , more of a fool than someone with something useful to say.

Note...child marriage at age13 is, or was, possible in the mighty USA as was marrying your first cousin.

Better stop the demonisation of Iran, a country much more civilised than the one currently attacking it.

Speaking of Israel, there is footage of Jewish women abusing psychically, young Jewish girls going to school.

Crime...too much hair showing, or a bare arm or leg.

BTW...this is no surprise attack by Israel.

Iran has been planning and war gaming this forever.

Recently Iran held joint naval exercises with Russia and Pakistan, both nuclear powers.

Wonder what deep bunker Netanyahu is hiding in....the warrior !

"The Plot to Invade Iran "....a book written 10 years ormore ago detailing US neo cons wishes to destroy and destabilise Iran.

I have a copy...guess I,ll be re reading it.

And to all ME countries, indeed to all the world, you keep letting these Zionist war mongers do as they please and the repercussions will be felt in your countries.

Now....Go Iran !

Tear the Israeli war machine a new one....

Compare the size of the "UN Gift State ", Israel. to that of the historical colossus Iran

No US support...no Israel

Pathetic little hanger on nation.

People here have no idea on how a "regime change " would work.

Iran has Islamic theocrats at the top, Israel has Zionist messianic at its top.

If real war breaks out, look for local countries to join Iran.

I cant see anyone in Europe joining Israel

In past aggressions by Israel, Iran bided its time and sent a CALIBRATED response.

No one here mentioning Netanyahu,s precarious political position and the forever delayed trials for bribery.

I hope Iran kicks some Zionist butt

Garlic eater....do tell of your extensive travels in Iran where you witnessed the "chafe and protest " things.

Havent been have you ?

Ignorance is bliss unless its Israeli hasbara , where, there HAVE BEEN mighty protests against the Government, Netanyahu and the war.

I would guess there is more "chafe and protest " in Israel than Iran

Anti botter....the worse way to have a nation "rise up " is to attack it.....Iranians are proud people with thousand year history.

This Israeli war crime will bring the nation of Iran together.
