It seems like a Jewish right wing are determined to start a Middle East war and WWIII . Israel is the equivalent of a Fascist state and it’s time to call them out as such .
Iran wouldn't even call it a preemptive strike because it literally wasn't a preemptive strike. It's not preempting anything. It was a show of strength as to not look weak after their terrorist proxy Hezbollah, which they've funded and supplied for decades, was crippled unexpectedly swiftly and Iran was made to look feeble.
The greatest irony in all this is that the Zionists will make Israel an internationally isolated ghetto.
Reagan slightly wagged a finger. That's all.
American foreign policy didn't change one iota however.
I'm generally not a believer in conspiracy theories, but for a country that guards and monitors its border so closely, the huge number of Hamas attackers seemed to be able to waltz into Israel very very easily, with next to no opposition. And it took hours for any sort of response.
Would make you wonder ok.
can’t they just say it was a “pre-emptive” strike?? Or is that only an Israeli excuse??
Intel? They had the literal manual for the attack. IDF commandos were moved from the border on October 5th.
Nothing really to do with destroying Hamas or Hezbollah. They are useful idiots.
He openly used Hamas as a reason that the PA could never get their 2 state solution.
This is all about forcing those in Gaza to fúck off to a refugee camp in Egypt and land grabbing the West Bank until it doesn't exist any more.
TBF it's not new.
The goal is for those green bits to disappear completely, they are nearly there.
Part of me believes he had Intel on the October 7th massacre, and allowed ot to happen, so he could justify destroying Hamas and Hezbollah.
From what I understand, it was looking like he was in danger politically. So for him, the war allows him to rewrite how he is seen by his people.
As bonkers as it sounds since the Knesset voted to make Israel the Jewish homeland in 2018. It wasn't a landslide vote, but it alienated secular voices.
The vote was no doubt emboldened by Trump's moving of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem which alienated any two state solution, effectively greenlighting genocide.
Were all of the Ethiopian Jewish women who were sterilised when they entered Israel “equal”??

On reading the thread title... I have cancelled all my direct debits.
It's not the Hague courts he really needs to worry about.
He has been indicted for bribery and fraud in Israel.
Now he doesn't have time at this moment to answer those charges in court.
It's almost like he is personally gaining the longer this goes on.
No. Russia will push for peace because they need Iranian drones to kill Ukrainians.
Correct, Netanyahu will not see the inside of a prison. He is definitely a psychopathic war criminal but the US lobby will protect him from the Hague courts.
Will Russia help defend Iran in the same way as the US helps defend Israel?
That are working feverishly with them on the N bomb
Yes and they don't believe in Karma either. Yet some lad living above in the clouds gave them the promised land thousands of years ago. They believe that 😀
But I never said Israel was "unscathed" in the attack or said anything remotely alluding to that either.
I said something not being 100% effective doesn't make it useless. Of course you know that and have no real answer to facts, so instead you have to resort to complete whataboutery to respond.
You're the one making this bizarre implication that because not every single ballistic missile was shot down, the system doesn't work or isn't worthwhile.
No aerial or missile defense system in the world is 100% effective. Not even the US, by far the most powerful military force with the best technology in the world, could guarantee that.
Would you rather have a missile defense system that intercepts a large amount of missiles that will land on target, or would you rather none at all?
Because you very weirdly seem to be insinuating that Israel is weak because it doesn't have a magical system that can shoot down every single ballistic missiles in a mass attack.
As you can imagine it's far more difficult to defend against ballistic missiles compared to short range rockets and shells.
Depends on the missile.
From what I understand Iran did not fire any of their "intelligent" missiles, last night was largely made up of their newer Shahab-3. Which have no counter maneuverer capabilities and are still as accurate as throwing a wheelie bin down an escalator.
Either way "David's Sling" is a evolving system.
The attack by Iran although more serious than in April was still basically a glorified fire work display.
A show of strength without having any real strength, I counted maybe 2 that got through in all the videos I saw.
The reality is for now Israels counter defence cannot be completely overwhelmed, but it can become less effective.
It is also extremely expensive at around 50k per counter missile.
There is no equivalence between Israel systems and Irans.
Israel aerially are NATO-eqsue in both tactics and hardware.
Ukraine could be the same by now, but they are not allowed.
Go figure.
"....I think I read..."
Some people would blame the US for fall of the Roman empire.
I think it's important to remember that for the Zionist they believe they are the chosen people, so the fate of the unchosen is irrelevant.
In the original Hebrew the commandment is "thou shalt not murder", which changed to "kill" in the christian rework.
In the Zionist mind the killing of thousands of Palestinians is not a sin.
Yeah I remember the same nonsense rhetoric before he got in last time. Then NK was the big bad wolf and nothing happened.
Did you just edit your post to include this; "Maybe the "dead and maimed children" you refer to should take up their complaints with Hamas and Hezbollah."? Wow. Proud?
I refer to? Do you have any knowledge of these people?
No, Paper Dome® is a generic term for their anti-missile systems, now that they are trying to distance themselves from their original term.
Maybe you can find photos of the various airfields as well as the Mossad headquarters that was attacked that show them unscathed?
There's no doubt that Israel's actions are genocidal, but the question is how far will Bibi take before Israel's actions actually start impacting the US's international standing?
As is the global south's indifference to the Russian invasion demonstrates that world unity isn't the western narrative.
Iran is in the stone age when it comes to military technology.
Iron dome isn't used for intercepting ballistic missiles.
What Iran has is numbers, it can swamp a defence. What they've done in this case is hugely escalated the conflict. Usually ends well.
much as I’d like him to suffer the consequences of what he has done, the Americans won’t let it happen.
They said the same thing about the guy Bibi replaced.
Indeed. And those bodyguards could be in the Hague, I think. He'll probably share a premises with Radovan Karadzic.
Being surrounded by bodyguards is not ''cushy'' at all. It shows fear and fear is an emotion nobody wants or needs. He does deserve it though. Plus he'll hear the screams of all those little babies be blew apart every time he closes his eyes.
Calling Iron Dome "paper dome" is childish stuff. Firstly, Iron Dome isn't an anti-ballistic missile defense, which is what was launched last night. So Iron Dome had nothing to do with it.
Arrow and whatever other tech Israel has to combat ballistic missiles isn't a case of it either works 100% or its useless. As you can imagine it's far more difficult to defend against ballistic missiles compared to short range rockets and shells.
Iron Dome was designed with Hamas and Hezbollah in mind and it is very effective overall. The other systems were designed to deal with ballistic missile strikes by the likes of Iran which obviously don't happen every other day.
Hyping up Iran's military capabilities while severely downplaying Israels is very common on this thread.
That's sounds like a neat retrospective, wasn't the whole thing because Kuwait was sideways drilling into Iraq oil fields (think "I drink your milkshake" from There Will Be Blood).
All he did was pivot the US military supplies from Iran towards the thief. In the post Soviet collapse the international consensus that was that if Saddam got away with redrawing international boundaries then others would try their luck.
