I post this with some trepidation but fwiw I reckon Jon Stewart has this spot on.
He is Jewish btw
I wouldn't worry, I posted it here on Sunday, I think he makes some very good points, the hypocrisy is stunning, if not unexpected.

Iran has actually backed Israel into a corner which is one reason why we should expect retaliation.I actually agree on all your points Sin.
At times I get the *smile* with these other states sticking their bibs in.
Exactly like Iran does. I only hope the people there overthrow the mad mullahs. I know they’re indoctrinated with a hatred of the West, mainly the US, and Israel. But they haven’t had much luck, firstly with the shah, then Khomeini and his rabid band of followers from the dark ages.
I think like Dante’s Inferno at times, the Middle East and further east. War, war, war! Dictators, strongmen, religious cults,all want their piece of the action and power over the people. Pity they can develop a pill and slip into those countries leaders that just totally incapacitates them. I can’t countenance murder. Hold on, yes I can. Give each of them a cyanide pill.
Then let the people elect a democratic government that puts the people first. Not religion, not power, not territory. The people.
Pipedream I know. Oops wandered off track.
Well if Israel can use some restraint and Iran decides they’ve “saved face” enough, maybe there is a chance.
Its a powder keg waiting for liftoff, but if wiser heads can impress on both sides the need for cooling off, just maybe.
Sorry didn’t see it David.I wouldn't worry, I posted it here on Sunday, I think he makes some very good points, the hypocrisy is stunning, if not unexpected.

They have said that given that the attack was “ in direct response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria they now consider the matter closed”.
So if Israel does nothing they would essentially be accepting that position.
That won’t be acceptable. Let’s hope that the response is something reasonably low level at least.
If they lob a few missiles into Tehran…..
Maybe they could sneak a hit squad in to put a kaboom or two under Iran's nuclear plant. Then we could all sit back for half an hour or so n watch the worlds biggest fireworks display backed up by some heavy doof doof.That won’t be acceptable. Let’s hope that the response is something reasonably low level at least.

You sure they're not just having a quick bath n doing some laundry while the Israelis are off having smoko there Willo?Looks like the Gazans have some respite while aisrael looks to Iran
The Germans would know a thing or 2 about fascism and genocide.Meanwhile, in Germany, you're not even allowed to talk about Palestine.
The Germans would know a thing or 2 about fascism and genocide.
And this makes is soooo strange that they have taken the position they have.The Germans would know a thing or 2 about fascism and genocide.
Like a couple of kids sitting in the back seat on a long n boring drive. Push, prod, poke, nudge, scratch, hair tug, hit over n over again backwards n forwards. They need the old man to pull over to the side of the road n give them a foot up the arse n a swat round the buccanearholes.We are entering dangerous times, it seems Israel has bombed Iran.

Natanyahu clearly takes the view that his government staying in power is way more important than peace.
