"Moderate" is often code for "pro-American" in middle east politics. Radical is code for anti-western or anti-American.

They are media labels designed to rally support for our allies and contempt for our enemies.

Meanwhile, the moderates in Syria are islamist radicals that want to establish a theocracy and the radicals are the pro-government guys that want things to return to business as usual.

Iran hasn't escalated with Israel within the context of Syria because of how it could affect the overall Syria policy (IE saving Assad's Ass). Yes, they say death to America a lot. That isn't the prevailing sentiment, but the conservative braindead portion of the population still hates America. The point is, Iran is acting rationally. And no. They wouldn't nuke the US bud.

I might want to shoot my neighbor -- but chances are I won't because of the very obvious consequences. There is no situation where the leadership of Iran nukes someone and doesn't get removed from power, country destroyed, and probably personally killed.

Yep and they know all of that. Again, Israel just lit up Iran's military infrastructure in Syria. Why didn't they send Hezbollah into northern Israel and start a war of this? Because my people are rational. I cannot stress that enough. We use proxies to fuck with people and do shit to be as annoying as possible, but over the course of history, were the oldest nation on earth. We play the long game. Iran will conquer the entire Middle East without a nuke and I will be xerxes from 300 but not bald or brazilian

I said people go ape over sometimes being misidentified culturally and I got called a mega-racist.

Was the food better in Greece or are u happy to have burgerking again?

I would agree. I found Grecian women, in particular, quite ugly. Some of their men are nice and hairy and dark with strong faces.

Just this morning while making GAINS, I was talking about the mediocrity of Greek food. Some dishes, of course, are excellent. They do seafood well. However on the whole I was largely unimpressed with Greek fare and actively avoid it Stateside.

white Turkish greeks r hot its just a diff look

in that area pigmentation seems to determine whether you have good looking facial features or not

The elite have been letting several anti-Israel opinions in mainstream news lately. Usually met with a barrage of paid trolls and useful idiots in the comment sections.

Nothing says ‘peace’ like 58 dead Palestinians says Dana Milbank on the post.

But most regular dumbass Americans of the older generation are in a totally different reality; a reality where Israel is still somewhat justified in killing Arabs:

Quote:

People need to understand that fifty years of peacemaking efforts by the U.S. and others have failed because they are the wrong approach. Not only are we negotiating with Hamas - a known terror group - but we are expecting them to accept our terms as if this is a negotiation in which they can come out ahead. It's foolish to given them the power to even approve or disapprove of an agreement.

We should make it clear to the Palestinians that the best they can hope for is the status quo, and if they continue to choose war and terror over peace, then they will lose what they have now.

We are dealing with terrorists who will martyr their own people if it means a spot on the six o'clock news. Do not try to put pressure on Israel to accommodate Hamas. It will only result in more Palestinians getting killed.

The dream of 'peace in our time' in the Middle East died on Monday CNN declared.

When all the religious idiots die, we will have peace.

That or an adherence to secular values.
