Give it to me straight KiwiBros, are we gonna die because of Israel?

No.

The nuclear threat is gone. If you thought Afghanistan was a bad idea to invade, then Iran is 10x worse. Its geographically protected by deserts and mountains, a death sentence to send troops in. We live in the age of drones, theres no need to send in tons of troops anymore.
 
There was no such thing as a muslim suicide bomber, or civilian terrorism before Qutbism, or the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Suicide is against Islamic clerical law, and didn't count as Martyrdom with the only exception relating to Shiite's view on the Battle of Karbala.
I actually researched this topic in the past because I was curious how Al Qaeda got the idea to crash airplanes into civilian buildings. People sometimes refer to the Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockerbie bombing, 1988) which was orchestrated by the Libyans but it wasn't a suicide attack. They had set a bomb on board with a timer and it detonated while the plane was flying over Scotland. It crashed on a little village (Lockerbie) killing 11 on the ground and everybody on board. In my opinion, the only real precedent are the Kamikaze attacks during WWII when Japanese fighters would fly themselves into US ships in the Pacific.

The process of preparation for the 9/11 recruits was a bit similar to that of kamikaze pilots except they had a lot more time to prepare (we know that by contrast, the Japanese pilots didn't have enough gas to fly back and that some still managed to land on the ships they were supposed to crash and surrendered instead). The 9/11 recruits were isolated for years in remote farms in Afghanistan and immersed in religious teachings that glorified shahada (martyrdom). The 72 virgins thing became a bit of a meme but it is true and it was included as part of the description of heaven, they were promised castles, rivers of honeys, 72 virgins (understand children) and love and absolution from dead relatives.

There is actually one other precedent but it's more ancient. The "Hashshashin" which is the origin for the word assassin (I think) their name was actually derived from the hashish they smoked. They were Shia muslims from the 11th century who would get very high on hash basically and then carry out politically motivated assassination which were always suicidal in nature. They would always commit their attacks in crowded public places like a market square or a mosque in order to maximize trauma for everyone involved but the attacks themselves were meticulously planned. The individuals who carried out the assassinations were known as fedayeen, meaning "self-sacrificers" so there was no doubt about their willingness to die.

I would also like to submit this painting as evidence to the court as part of my argument that the muzzies are fucking crazy and were always fucking crazy because they are sand niggers who suffer from critical heat exposure. It's not healthy to stay in the sun like that with nothing to do but count grains of sand. The painting is from 1838 and is called The Fanatics of Tanger (which is in Morocco). It's quite beautiful if you ask me (they call that Orientalism style)

This is a bit of a treat because Orientalist paintings (especially of this nature) are very hard to come by these days because, you guessed it, they are racist. I personally don't think there is anything racist about these paintings but the art students and the art critics and the art professors have decided they were racist and so you can't find them anymore unless you know the artwork by name. So here you go.

The painting represents an incident (allegedly witnessed by the painter but I have my doubts) during which Sufi muslims who practiced "dhikr" (a sort of collective religious trance) reportedly attacked people around them who were just minding their own business. This outburst of religious fanaticism was likely fueled by heightened social tensions, resistance to foreign influence, and internal conflicts within Moroccan society. And i know that's just a painting but apparently from what I understand, it wasn't uncommon at all. In fact you can see in the painting that the fat chick on the balcony in the top right is totally having a good time. I also find it pretty funny that the kid in the forefront looks kinda jewish so it looks like they are running after a small jewish child but I'm sure that wasn't the intention of the painter (if it was, then that guy is funnier that I give him credit for).

Sorry for the long post but I hope it's a least a little bit informative. I don't mean to make a counter-argument because I'm not exactly sure what was the point of the post I was responding to, it's more of a bit of extra research on this stuff. Obviously the underlying proposition is that if you stay in the sun too long, you go coo coo and then you blow yourself up on a building in New York which is much cooler and where people don't want to deal with your shit.

If you mean get drafted? Probably not? What will happen is more refugees, higher gas prices, no deportations, and life generally getting shitter in the US.
So it would not have made a difference even if Kamala won. Awesome.

The culture has shifted enough to where people saying Zion Don is becoming normalized, and the noticing continues

But still nothing ever happens (yet)
Neocons still dominate the republican party, it will be a generation before Fuentes' anti Israel sentiment overtakes "Israel=Good" in Republican politics.

Evangelical boomerism and AIPAC still very much have a stranglehold on the overwhelming majority of Republican politicians. You aren't going to change that in 3-4 years.

I don't like this state of affairs, but most conservatives aren't on twitter or telegram.
