You state:
"The truth be know, Israel is the problem, especially its current government, until this changes, there will be no peace in the ME."

Israel's government changes at least once every four years when all its citizens - 20% of whom are Arab - get to vote. This has been the norm since 1948.

The Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza had one election in 2007 and none since - and none before. This has been the norm since 1948. Captive to politically corrupt leaders whose only horizon is the elimination of the Jewish State and its replacement with a 22nd Arab State the population continues to suffer from any freedom to express their wishes at the ballot box by choosing leaders who might actually want to end the conflict with Israel.

Therein lieth the problem - the continuing failure to hold free elections for the West Bank and Gazan Arabs ... but expecting you to understand that whilst wallowing in your vitriolic Jew-hatred would be too much to hope for.

Yeah Geoff de Wicked

Repent.

Most of Israel's neighbours dislike the presence of the Jewish State in their midst full stop. This has been their (larger Muslim) unneighbourly policy for more than 60 years.

Doesn't matter to them whether Netanyahu is the current Israeli PM or not.

Truth be told, Iran would be a much better country had the U.S. (Zionist orchestrated) coup in the 1950's not occurred.

Israel is a pariah State, as illegitimate as the day it was created.

I do not hate anyone Jewish, I just wish to see justice against the war criminals who include many current and former Israeli government ministers, the same could be said for those Iranians whom condone and perpetrate terror.

I sleep well at night knowing I do not support murderers from either side, can you David, Pete, ttbn etc?

Geoff,
I didn't know the Zionists had anything to do with the overthrow of Mohammad Mossedeq, though if true I wouldn't be all that surprised.
Its easy to understand why the Iranians have hatred for America given they armed and backed Saddam against them in the Iraq/Iran war (1980 -1988 and after the Iranian Revolution) and then shot down a passenger jet in Iranian airspace with 290 people in 1988.

Not exactly sure the reasons why they hate Israel.

I think Khomeini likes to remind his citizens what America did.
Like its some kind of national pride, or bolsters support for his leadership and keeps him relevant (just guessing)

But as much as they scream "Death to America, Death to Israel" I don't think they truly intend to do anything about it, (like going on the offense) because they know that it would be suicide and the US and allies would surely destroy them if they did.

You antisemites are meant to be together and these being liberal times, when's the wedding?

Maybe one of your Iranian socialists can officiate.

Iran has never had nuclear weapons.
USA has 7,200 nukes
Iran is not violating the non-proliferation treaty
USA violates the NPT by not disarming, by building more, and by sharing with other nations.
Iran spends $24 billion Total. that's $303 /capita on military
USA spends $648 billion. that's $2,056/capita on military
Iran has 0 foreign bases and has started 0 wars in centuries.
USA has >800 foreign bases in >70 countries and has invaded>70 countries in the past 70 years
Iran has never overthrown the USA government.
USA overthrew the Iranian democracy in 1953 to install a dictator.
At the last elections in Palestine, the USA and Israel did not like the result so undermined them.
Israel, Mr Singer, is constantly saying Iran must be bombed. Your prejudices do you no credit.
