Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Most of the Iranian missiles will be shot down. This is why if the Iranians do launch an attack they will try to overwhelm the Iron dome in the hope some get drones or missiles get through. I am still doubtful Iran will launch a direct attack. This could be psychological warfare and a way to extract concessions from America by limiting their response to proxies. They didn't go to war over Soleimani afterall , despite all the loud noises they made , they did sod all in the end

Dozens more U.S. service members have been diagnosed with
traumatic brain injuries following last month's Iranian missile attacks
that targeted American forces at two Iraqi bases, the Defense Department
said Monday, bringing the total to 109.

Of those, 76
patients have since been returned to duty, the Pentagon said in a
statement. There were 45 more cases since the department's last report,
and all 109 patients have been diagnosed with what it called "mild
traumatic brain injury."

Might look like sod all, but that's not for want of trying. They were lucky.

Hamas are a ruthless terrorist organisation whose aim is the destruction of the Israeli state but this not mean that Israel is right to kill ,30,000 civilians many of which are women and children it also does not justify bombing most of Gaza into rubble they have killed many aid workers and made it hard to deliver food and water to gaza

America has been the most powerful supporter of Israel probably because the Jewish vote is important to both political party's especially the democrats Biden is losing the youth vote due to his support of Israel he simply cannot afford to lose the Jewish vote it's also a fact that a large part of the liberal media are Jewish or strong supporters of Israel

Iran has used proxys to attack Israel usually it does not want to get involved in a war with America it can supply an unlimited amount of drones and missiles to proxy groups to attack Israel Iran would not survive a full scale war with america or it's allies

Israel by having the audacity to strike a consulate building, which is probably in violation of international law, had to expect a response.

It was probably done by warmonger Bibi to try and open up another front to get America back onside and prolong his rule. I hope Iran does not give Bibi what he wants.

If Iran is smart it will not make it easy for him to do so. If Iran does not escalate the situation, the Americans, since they are keen to avoid a wider war that will inevitably pull them in, should warn Bibi in private that such a move is unacceptable . Whether Bibi will listen is another matter- as we know he craves power above everything else.

Iran needs support from civilized countries.

In a similar vein, I think it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that Putin persuaded Iran to get Hamas to launch the original attack. It's done a good job of stopping US aid to Ukraine and now he's on track to take the country. Also made for a great distraction with the world taking their eyes off his evil doings.

Netanyahu must be losing his mind that he's failing to drag Iran into a full scale war. The longer Iran refuse to play his games the worse he looks.

Iranians should release the crew and scuttle it.

People keep claiming Israel is stealing land, yet look at the speed of Islam. This was not a peaceful conversion, it was spread through the tip of a sword.

Jews were is Jerusalem over 4000 years ago (it’s in the Torah,) Jesus was from Bethlehem (as in the Bible), a Jewish city which is now in Palestine a Muslim country. Islamic invaders stole these lands, then the Romans kicked Jews out of Jerusalem. Boarders in this region have shifted for centuries, yet Jews have the best claim to most of the disputed lands.

Turkeys capital was the Christian city of Constantinople, Muslim invaders sacked and slaughtered the whole city after Christian invaders sacked it during the crusades. Are the Turks going to hand it back to the Greeks, or even the half of Cyprus they stole?

Hearing people take about genocide is more than rich considering how Islam was spread. Christian’s have been are still are being systematically wiped out in the Middle East.
