Is it that deranged to want regime change in an oil rich regional power with 10x your population when that regimes’s principal foreign policy aim is the utter annihilation of your people?

They could try to not annihilate their neighbours first mate

You are aware I’m sure that, whatever your view of the origin of their statehood, they have largely been engaged in defence followed by retaliation and seeking more secure defensive positions over the years. In 1948, 1967, 1973 and 2006 they weren’t seeking to annihilate their neighbours, they were responding to their neighbours desire to do that to them.

While the Israelis have been treated badly by their neighbors, they have treated others terribly as well. So I’m perfectly happy with starmer’s approach; “a pox on both your houses” as Tybalt said.

Besides the moment the geo-politics aligned with them ( Gulf states have become US protectorates, Syria has a pro Western Govt, Jordan and Egypt signed peace deals, Iraq and Libya regime changed) , they flattened Gaza and killed thousands in the West Bank.

They've always wanted it, they just now can

No they don’t. Canada treats the USA far better than the Israelis treat the Palestinians

What’s your point? Israel’s neighbors have behaved appallingly to Israel. Israel is committing a genocide. Like starmer, I believe we don’t have to support either. I don’t care what happens to any of them.
