But since some of them have nuclear weapons - and their enemies are on the brink of getting nuclear weapons - it becomes everyone’s problem.

It’s about American empire. It’s not about biblical land rights or messianism (for the government). It’s about the assets that America derives from Israel being in the Middle East. Just like Russia isn’t attacking Ukraine for land, but to have closer proximity to Europe, oil, pipeline access.

The colonizers will not stop until the entire middle east is theirs

They had a big chunk of it after the 6 day war. But they gave it back. Maybe you're projecting.

That’s like saying Rhode Island is slowly taking over the entire continent

Well Israel is about 0.16% of the Middle East so they’re doing a pretty terrible job.

So weird how the Arabic language spread throughout the Middle East as if by magic

You think colonization is bad but we shouldn't stop it when it's happening right now? Just because it also happened thousands of years ago?

I think indigenous people can’t colonize their own land, and I think Arab colonization and thousands of years of massacres pushed them from that land (as well as massacres pushing them BACK to that land)

It is worth nothing and yet everything.
