Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Israel cannot afford a long way with Iran foreign investment in Israel is down 60 per cent in the last year .It does not have the bunker buster bombs that could destroy Iran's nuclear facilitys as they are deep underground Iran's missiles are getting thru even if most of them do not pass thru the iron dome .Drones are getting more advanced and cheaper to make .

Itan is a ruled by religious fanatics it's not a democracy. All it had to do was pause it's nuclear program and this war would not have happened

Shadow boxing again. No-one is ignoring Russia and its danger to Europe and litany of war crimes. You cannot look at the Israeli actions in a vacuum, nor can you look at the results in a vacuum and that includes the impact on the Russian effort.

Do you know what would benefit Ukraine more? The weapons that are being shipped to Israel to bomb Gaza and Iran.

Who? PBP and Shinners? Sure they're a joke.

No difference between Ukrainian, Russian, Gazan, Israeli or Iranian civilians in the real world. No single life is worth more or less than any other. Except to war mongers like Putin, Netanyahu and the Iranian leadership.

Iran calling people names, vs israel actually genociding people. And you think Iran are in the wrong. Mother of god!!!

Israel's censorship is cracking down big style with Haifa now on the list. Also a blackout is happening around Glilot following this mornings missile attack on the Mossad HQ and the Aman military intelligence logistic centre.

Israel can be wrong and Iran can be wrong.

Iran isn't just "calling people names". It's been targeting Israel for decades by funding proxies to cause death, destruction and instability across the region.

Add the fact it's a crackpot fundamentalist regime that brutally represses its own people and has impoverished the country into the mix.

If a prolific child abuser and a serial killer were fighting in an arena, would you try and paint one of them as the one to be cheered on or supported in any conceivable way?

No you wouldn't, but that's what some people are doing here and it's driven by nothing but dislike of Israel and a wish to see Israel "punished" rather than any sense of logic or reasoning.

Hating Israel, what it's doing, the fact it exists, or whatever else, is fine but it should have zero bearing on your perception of the Iranian regime as a terrible one that its own people despise and the world would be a better place without.

The Iranian regime is no victim. It's the author of its own misfortune. Painting it as some innocent victim of Israeli warmongering or conflating it with what's happening in Gaza is completely disingenuous.

In 1979, the "tyranny" of the Shah

Why the use of quotation marks?

Trump likely has inside knowledge of what the Israelis are secretly planning without the ability or decorum to keep it a secret so there could be something big coming soon

He's also full of s#1t - so it could be nothing

With Trump, either of the above scenarios is possible in equal measures

Some might be of the view the world would be a better place without the current Israeli regime too. Likud, as you well know, has also supported proxies - including Islamic terrorists in the past. An ex mossad director admitted that Israel assisted Al Qaeda in an interview. Several past US and Israeli officials have also admitted that Likud in particular were happy to court islamists when it suited their agenda. Even Bibi himself admitted to funding isis linked Gangs in Gaza last week.

So with all this in mind i wonder if Israel was attacked by another country would you also say it was the author of its own misfortune for its policies towards others.

Heavy media censorship is a bit overkill. Mainstream media, domestic and foreign, are free to report what they can see and they have been doing.

Sky News for example are reporting a hit on a Mossad Centre last night but aren't allowed into the site, which is hardly surprising.

The likes of TikTok are also filled with endless thousands of videos of Iranian missile attacks on Israel, filmed from within Israel, and outside Israel in the likes of Lebanon.

Iran meanwhile there's only State TV, foreign media aren't allowed into the country, the internet is heavily restricted, and as a result there's far, far less content available - there is some, but minimal by comparison.

Of course I condemn war crimes, you are derailing by discussing the ongoing assault on Ukraine by Russia here
