Same as everyone else's reason. We'll come for their oil (even if it IS loaded with sulphur).

Well sure, but that hasn't stopped Argentina from trying to piss you off every other day. There's got to be something special going on, it seems to me.
That doesn't explain many of them. Uganda for instance.
They're concerned about Trump's supporters pining for the good old days.
Yeah after widespread discrimination and voter intimidation.
And even if so, that just adds to my argument that the country can burn for all I care.
You sure got me, the ultimate defender of America.
Hitler was elected, too. "They were elected, so..." is not a valid defense of democracy. Democracy can only properly work in an environment with different opinions being accepted, multiple, suffering, viable choices, and free media and education to inform people. And yes, the USA is facing the same issue, more and more.
Elections don't mean a thing if they don't actually present a choice or the voters are unable to form an intelligent opinion.
Electing someone who openly and clearly states he wishes to invade and occupy nearby regions, deport the populace or force them into camps to work, over made-up "historical rights" and ethnic similarities, that's Nazi Germany anno 1938. That a majority of Israelites can actually vote in favor of such policies is sickening.

Slight difference in that the Nazis had to convince everyday Germans that they were under attack. Israel has literally been under attack since its founding to this day. There is literally no acceptable end to this conflict according to Israel's "neighbors" (and never has been) other than the complete annihilation of Israel and the eradication of the Jewish people. That's been made abundantly clear numerous times.
Remember when Clinton arranged for Israel to give Palestine literally everything on its wish list, including a Palestinian state, and Arafat walked away from the table because the deal's only request of him was to admit that Israel had a right to exist?

This is the official stance of the Israeli government.

Except that's clearly false. As I said... Arafat walked away from a treaty that gave Palestine a state because it would remove their cassus belli against Israel. That was basically the moment when Palestine stopped existing as anything other than a rallying mcguffin for terrorists.
There is no Palestine, and the Palestinians don't want one unless it is literally built on the bones of every single Jew in the middle east.

Assimilate. Into Israel (it's been done, a lot), or Jordan, or Egypt, or Lebanon (maybe not Syria). And it's time for the UN to tell those neighboring countries to stop exacerbating the situation by keeping Palestinians in refugee camps on the border instead of taking them in.
Bibi and his party have been working to effectively strip Israeli arabs of their citizenship.

"Romanes eunt domus?" The people called romans they go the house?
What did they ever do for us?
-I had a colonization of Africa class and the asshole professor played that skit in class.
You're off by a few thousands of years, bucko.
EDIT: You'll notice I said thousands, there, Blotsboy.
So that justifies the genocide the Bibi is trying to implement? I'm sorry, I'm not sure how this works.
So the problem with the Holocaust was that the Jewish leadership didn't actually plan to take over the world?
As i said before, Israel can just let them be a separate state and not give a fuck about them not recognizing anything, since it's not like giving them independence will actually threaten Israel (see: Six-Day War).
And it's not like any of the other states around them recognize their right to exist.

Israel is like that friend of yours that's been in your life for a long time and one day you look at him & go, "Why do I like this guy? He's an asshole." Yet you have to keep pretending you're friends because he has all the dirt on you and let's you crash at his place in a bad neighborhood.
Yeah, but Israel's arguably been a dick to everybody around 'm since arguably 1968.
By which I'm by no means saying "it's all israel's fault", because most of the surrounding countries are cunts, too.
