By that same logic aren’t all who want this war envoys of the terroristic theocratic state of Israel?

No. Although Israel is a Jewish state, which gives some special privileges to ethnic Jewish people (like the right to become citizens through an expedited process), it is definitely not ruled by priests and government definitely does not operate in the name of god. The PM and senior ministers in Israel today are not priests, and most are not even religious (some are even explicitly secular).

Israel is the terroristic theocratic state? Really?

Yes, and every Jewish person I know agrees with me. Israel is a theocracy, you clearly don’t know the definition. Israel is led by a war criminal, and has committed several acts of terror against at least 3 sovereign nations within the last twelve months, including placing explosives in the hands of literal children, and detonating them in Lebanon.

All of this has been proven in front of the United Nations. The very reason you think Iran is the problem is because Trump undid the deal that was struck under Obama, but I’m guessing no you don’t know the facts of that situation either.

Even if Israel was in the wrong, they are by definition not a terrorist country. Terrorism is the use of threats, violence, intimidation, etc. by a non-state actor against a state in order to achieve a political advantage within that state. Israel isn’t a non-state actor. IF Israel does engage in similar activity to terrorism, it would simply be war, or war crimes (if they break the laws of war).

But that’s a semantic point, for the most part Israel’s wars are aimed at taking out existential threats to the state.

Terrorism does not have a clear cut definition, and what existential threat do children pose to Israel that blowing up their devices or dropping a building on top of them justifies? Israel is a theocracy, the idea that a theocracy must be ruled by priests is completely misguided, but again you don’t have any formal training or education in this area based on your definition of terrorism.

As far as special privileges, they are religious based. Muslim and Catholic Israeli’s are given different ID cards, only allowed to pass through certain border crossings, etc. I think you really should go read up on the Palestine problem. The United Nations has some excellent resources for those who’ve been tricked by hasbara.

Besides arguably mandatory prescription for Jews and Druze. There’s not a single law that discriminate against Christians or Muslims in Israel.

There's an ID given to Israeli citizens. There used to be a 'nation' section in the IDs (where one could be written as 'Jewish' or 'Arab'), but this was removed in 2002 are didn't really have any bearing on any registration (definitely not where you're allowed to live inside of Israel).

Jewish Israelis, Arab Israelis - Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin, etc. - as well as other minorities that are citizens of Israel are all given the same ID. They aren't barred from living anywhere on religious or ethnic grounds. All citizens are treated the same in the eyes of the law. Is there social or de-facto discrimination in certain places? Sadly yes, and these grievances should be amended, but the same can be said of any minority in any country.

I dont think Israel’s actions can reasonably be called terrorist because any definition of terrorism involves the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims. Israel starting a war in Gaza to get back its hostages or eliminate Hamas is not terrorism nor are its attempts to eliminate actual terrorist groups in its neighboring countries.

On the other hand, October 7th was unequivocally a terrorist attack on Israel.

You are a comedian. Israel launched this war decades ago and has only been able to continue their campaign of terror through the support of western nations. If you believe anything other than that Israel is the primary aggressor and only true threat to peace in the mid east, you are incredibly ill informed.

October 7th was the inevitable revolt against illegal settlements, systematic rape and murder of children and mothers by the IDF, and hundreds of thousands of missing and dead Palestinian civilians according to Israel’s own military.

Kid, you’ve got a lot to learn. If you think that’s a justification you’re too reactionary to be a serious human.
