"It's like asking a survey in Easten Europe who the biggest threat to Europe is" …or shoppers in M&S what’s their favourite shop. It’s all about sampling in opinion polls and structuring of questions to get the responses you want. | |||

"The survey was carried out in only Arab nations. Of course they're going to say Israel" Of course, the Arabs know nothing about the matter at all. They just live next door, unlike US evangelicals and arms dealers. They just (eg Lebanon, Egypt and Syria) get invaded from time to time.

Completely unlike the incessant flow of propaganda from Tel Aviv, and the lying denials of war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Numbers: 73,000 (conservatively - many bodies still under the wreckage) and Gaza reduced to rubble, vs 1200 ( many of whom were of conscription age) Not counting Lebanon, not counting the joint ex in Iran. The data support extreme scepticism as to Israel's desire for peace. Or for remaining anywhere near its present borders. | |||

It was one of the most effective tools during WW2, but it should be taken with a pinch of salt. | |||

However you are failing to confirm it was only carried out in Arab nations in the middle east. The whole thing is click bait. | |||

If you invade another country you deserve all you get. Hamas and its lackeys forgot that on October 7th 2023. It's fantastic that Israel gets military support to neutralize the constant Arab threat. The more who help Israel the better 🙂. | |||

"I wouldn't say they're the biggest threat to security in the region, they seem to be the only nation willing to do something about the threat of Muslim fundamentalism and their threats towards their nation. Israel has been making steps towards peace with Various Arab states which the fundamentalists disagree with." I don't see it the way you do evil nation especially to Palestine | |||

"They are 0.2% of the population and behave like they were a world power when they are certainly not. They're one of only a handful of nuclear powers.

It’s a puny little entity of 9 million people who depend entirely on the US taxpayer who pay everything for these murderers. Every time they get into trouble they run to the rest of the world claiming to be victims crying “please save us, we are the chosen people” These people are appalling scum and if left to stand on their own feet they wouldn’t last for a week. Calling them a word power is just a joke. | |||

"In 2025, Israel attacked at least six countries, including Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Yemen. It also carried out strikes in Tunisian, Maltese and Greek territorial waters on aid flotillas heading for Gaza. According to Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), an independent conflict monitor, from January 1 to December 2025, Israel attacked: Gaza and the occupied West Bank 8,332 times Lebanon 1,653 times Iran 379 times Syria 207 times Yemen 48 times Qatar once Tunisian waters twice, Maltese and Greek waters once each. " These figures are shocking. Israel hasn't attacked Iran or Yemen anything like enough times. By the way, does anyone have the dates for next year's official Pride events in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Qatar or Tunisia? | |||

Israel is widely believed to possess an arsenal of nuclear weapons, with estimates ranging from 90 to 400 warheads. However, the country maintains a strict policy of "nuclear ambiguity" or opacity. They have never officially confirmed or denied having nuclear weapons and are not a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Key details of Israel's estimated nuclear capabilities include: Delivery Systems: Experts assess that Israel possesses a nuclear triad: Air: Gravity bombs deliverable by F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft. Land: Jericho-series ballistic missiles (including the Jericho III, which may have intercontinental range). Sea: Submarine-launched cruise missiles deployed on German-built Dolphin-class submarines. The "Samson Option": This is the widely discussed military strategy of massive nuclear retaliation as a last resort if the state of Israel is facing destruction. Official Status: Along with India and Pakistan, Israel is considered a de facto nuclear-weapon state, having developed its program outside of the international NPT framework. - Google | |||

"Israel has never confirmed that they're committing genocide either. So I guess that's that problem solved then!" You just can’t manage to get things right, but keep trying and I’m sure you will eventually manage to keep up with the adults. I said that no one knows if Israel is nuclear armed or not, and even you appear to have accepted that. The genocide is a totally different question, the mindless slaughter of tens of thousands of civilian women and children and their starvation onto death is not for Israel to decide, and the whole world can see what these butchers have been doing to the indigenous Palestinians, and even ICJ have issued warrants for the arrest of two of their leaders to face charges of war crimes. You can wallow in your ignorance if that’s where you feel at home, the vast majority do not agree with you. | |||
