    Unless you think private satellite companies are in cahoots with the IDF and Iran don't want to show their own satellite images which would disprove what the IDF and private satellite companies say. So far there's been zero evidence that any IDF airbase has been destroyed or badly damaged.

    Who knows what anyones agenda is. Iran may well have reason to not show us a lot of damage in Israel as it would only foster a stronger reaction. Until it all goes tits up with no return it's as much about face saving and containing escalation as anything. Not saying this is whats happening, but it could be, quite likely even. What do we know?

    Dont fool yourselves for one minute that we know whats truly going on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    What do we know? According to satellite images, there was minimal damage done to the airbase despite dozens of rockets hitting it or missing it, depending on your pov.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,317 ✭✭✭CalamariFritti


    Ok I have no pov. I dont actually care except I dont want it to happen, because it's war. Thats my only agenda. And I know that I wont believe a thing, also because it's war.

    Israel has decided to launch a "major attack" on Iran and it's said to be imminent.

    Nethanyahu has has a pop at France and other western countries.

    If there was extensive damage the regime would have hammed it up the nth degree.

    An IDF spin doctor was on CNN telling Jake Tapper the evening of the attack that any one of the 200 missiles would have levelled a sky scraper.

    Jake didn't call him out on his horse shít.

    Bibi is not happy that he is another proxy getting thrown under the bus by the west.

    "if you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station, the longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    What did Macron say? Bibi needs to stop slaughtering 10s of 1000s?

    Shame on him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,278 ✭✭✭brickster69


    Macron said Iran has the right to defend itself…… only joking.

    "if you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station, the longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be."

    I think France are unhappy (maybe too mild a phrase?) with Lebanon being destroyed.

    Netanyahu and the Israelis have adopted Putin's "special military operation" minimising language about what they are doing, and have tried to downplay it.

    As time passes the mask is slipping off that, and it looks like the IDF are going to turn the south of it into a wasteland and perhaps "Gazify" Beirut from the air as well.

    That is what Israel want you to believe

    Israel responded by stating that the only country in the world with the right to defend themselves is Israel



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,512 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    There absolutely no way you can down play 558 people killed in one single day, the vast majority unarmed civilians.

    It's record levels of mass slaughter.

    The UN have 10,000 peace keeping troops in and around Lebanon, maybe it's about time they stop being a useless talking shop and actually did something to help humanity for once.

    Probably only a matter of time before the Regime attack them anyway.

    History will not be kind to that idiot. He has lead his country into a very dark place. The arrogance and ego is astounding. And the bloodlust.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,333 ✭✭✭fly_agaric


    Yes, that is one reason why I thought the Israeli's blowing smoke about limited incursions etc. in Lebanon was completely unbelievable, hence the comparison to the lies from Russia and its mouthpieces in early 2022.

    Unfortunately the UN is hamstrung. Even if the Security Council agreed to it…what country is going to task soldiers with a "peace keeping/peace enforcement" mission there?

    If they interfere they will get shot at I expect, probably both by Hezbollah and the IDF.

    Then the patsy country with more valour than sense would get to watch the US defend Israel and the IDF if it is the one that killed their troops, and probably China and Russia as Iran's pals on the Sec. council pipe up to defend Hezbollah if it does it.

    Macron said to stop giving Israel weapons destined to be used in Gaza



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,851 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    You contradict yourself. How are they human shields if you admit in the paragraph after Israel blows them up regardless(you phrase it unfortunate) lol. It obvious Israel don’t care about innocent life going by your own post. You still didn’t condemn any of Israel’s atrocities infact you absolve them of responsibility for killing thousands of kids. I do condemn Hamas they’re scum, just like Israel.

    What id like Israel to do is too stop bombing orphanages and killing thousands of kids. To stop killing aid workers and threatening to bomb and bombing paramedics if they show up to the scene of a bomb attack within 72 hours. To stop treating the Geneva convention like toilet paper. I’d like them to stop being murderous grunts who continue to steal land whilst playing the victim. They champion themselves as a western democracy yet in reality they’re as murderous, land grabbing terrorist state.

    Unfortunately the UN is hamstrung

    I don't know about that.

    UNIFIL are mandated to protect civilians from attack.

    Can UNIFIL use force?

    As a peacekeeping mission operating under Chapter 6 of the UN Charter, UNIFIL has the mandate to ensure stability in the area, protect the civilian population, and support the parties in discharging their respective responsibilities towards achieving a permanent ceasefire.  In carrying their mandate, UNIFIL personnel may exercise their inherent right of self-defence. In addition to the use of force beyond self-defence, and without prejudice of the primary responsibility of the Government of Lebanon, UNIFIL may under certain circumstances and conditions resort to the proportionate and gradual use of force to ensure that its area of operations is not utilized for hostile activities; to resist attempts by forceful means to prevent UNIFIL from discharging its duties under the mandate authorized by the Security Council; to protect UN personnel, facilities, installations and equipment; to ensure the security and freedom of movement of UN personnel and humanitarian workers; and to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence.

    The mass slaughter has to be stopped some way. Why not the UN for a change.

    Id love to see Hamas not setting up in apartments and schools and hospitals. I'd love for there to have been more butterflies in my garden this summer. Neither will happen.

    Do you think Israel isn't going to bomb a Hamas base just because civilians are there or that Hamas won't rape and kill Israeli women and Children if given the opportunity again.

    I don't have to agree with what Israel is doing but I can see why they are doing it. Why not ask Hamas to stop using civilians as human shields and then at least Israel can kill them and not civilians

    Id love to see Hamas not setting up in apartments and schools and hospitals..

    Considering 87% of the schools in Gaza have been bombed by the regime it would be last place anyone would set up.

    If you want to be blown bits go to a school.

    And that Lebanon citizens must not be sacrificed and Lebanon must not be allowed to be turned into a 2nd Gaza. And generally speaking he said that Israel must respect humanitarian laws and he thinks that Israels course is a failure that will ultimately not increase Israels security either but will lead to further entrenchment. He said they must return to seeking a political solution.

    wow.
    Welcoming the deaths of other humans- combatants or not, isn’t a great look.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,067 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Looks like the Israelis are going to retaliate against Iran tonight. The behemoth behind all the terror and violence across Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon. Israel for decades. Killing million plus in the process.

    Not a day too soon that it is stood up to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,255 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    '' retaliate ''?? I thought Iran retaliated against Israel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,218 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    All eyes will be on the response from Iran after the strikes. If they respond immediately we are in to a full scale regional war.



  • Posts: 133 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Why were they bombed. Was the bomber bored that day and just decided to bomb a school.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,462 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Fair few sources on Twitter, Telegram and Reddit all citing an Israeli attack expected this evening. The guess is currently an attack on Iranian naval assets.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭ZeroThreat


    The Whitehouse needs to make it clear the to the iranians that if they so much as fire another rocket at Israel in retaliation, every significant sized city will be razed to the ground. The persians need to be stripped of their delusions of grandeur and realised they're at the bottom of the food chain.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,462 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Ah yes. America, bailing out Israeli aggression again.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    This is insane. You want the Yanks to tell the Iranians they must sit there and do nothing if the Israelis attack them? I thought we had already established that countries had the right to defend themselves?
