    Israel doesn’t want to destroy Iran

    Tell that to all the Israeli politicians calling for Tehran to burn, and bibi saying that they’re trying to kill the Supreme leader.

    Israel definitely wants to force some sort of regime change in Iran. Multiple Israeli politicians have posed with the pretender shah saying he’s coming back any day now, and they’ve tried to decapitate the top of the Islamic Republic multiple times hoping it will instigate some sort of revolution.

        Yeah, and jews have lived peacefully on Palestine for a while prior to zionism, the destruction of the Jewish state doesn’t mean an end to jews living in Palestine.

        This is assuming that you think “destruction of israel” means destruction of the apartheid Israeli state, which is what I think they mean by it. Israel could also refer to all the jews in Palestine, in which case destruction would mean genocide, that is probably what most Israelis think they mean by it. Depends on how cynical / what side your on as to what you belive Israel refers to.

        I think that those in the occupied territories are more likely to want the latter as they’ve had more antisemitism bread into them by both there culture and repeated bombings by Israel and violence from settlers, but still a majority would want the former. Iran is further from the destruction caused and is more likely to view Israel how the US views Iran, run by a bad regime that once it’s toppled will stop it’s aggressive ways.
