A Jewish friend of mine (we’re both in our 20s) was super excited when it looked like we were going to go to war with Iran because “war is good for business”. We’re in our 20s and she doesn’t even work in a defense industry. Just a general accounting consultant firm.

I don’t blame a Jewish person for wanting to over throw Iran’s Government,

They ARE the primary backers of Hezbollah and Baathist Syria.

I would not want to overthrow Iran or have a war with them.Iran will be like a more difficult Afghanistan.I prefer economic sanctions against them.

I’m not saying we should, although I would point out that we’ve had sanctions in place since 1979 and yet the Ayatollahs remain in power.

They are like a cancer that just doesn’t go away. If they would stop funding religious terrorism and strengthening the Sunni-Shia Divide we might actually have a shot at peace in the Middle East (still a long shot).

Honestly somewhere in between, I think. She’s pro-LGBT stuff and also pro-tax cuts and for de-regulation. Above all else she’s an Israeli ultra-nationalist while being an American citizen.
