Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

What big surprise are ye talking about?

Oh right. I missed that. Why is world politics played out on that silly Twitter platform these days - I'll never understand it. I wonder what they were alluding to. Absolute lunatics on both sides. And then you have Mr Trump in the mix.

For his corruption? Nothing else? Speaks volumes.

Regime change could happen if his 6 party coalition, including right wing religious nutjobs, fell apart.

Surely you don't want the IDF to stop using their toys?

I'd compare Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto if I had to come up with a Second World War comparison, but the whole kill scorecard is a bit crass. It's not a competition.

If you want proof of dramatic language just look a few posts back. There's a poster fawning about the skill of the Israeli army at the same time as they're using tanks to slaughter starving people queueing for scraps of food. Dramatic indeed.

That the world has had 80 years to contemplate the atrocities of that time resulted in the phrase "Never Again".

I certainly would be horrified if that phrase is edited to:

"Never Again, or at least until the ratio of dead is equivalent to WWII"

Equating all innocents executed, murdered, disappeared etc. using double decker buses as a measure is probably unfortunate. Some sick individual might even query how many cremated ashes said double decker buses could hold.

I'm not criticising the sentiment of your post - you rightly point out that your not downplaying atrocities. I just think extreme care needs to be taken when using comparisons of different conflicts as they relate to the dead. It's really not a numbers game - one dead innocent is one dead innocent too many. That goes for everyone on all sides - Iranians, Israelis, Palestinians alike.

Their acts of Genocide and War Crimes is behind it.

And they are correct in doing so. Genocide and War Crimes committed by both.

Certainly not the numbers.

The comparisons illustrate the hypocrisy of a State who (rightly) coined the phrase "never again" and then goes right ahead and repeats history and the atrocities perpetrated against itself on other people.

As a previous post stated, the comparison is highlighting the

dehumanization, collective punishment, ethnic scapegoating, or the normalization of mass civilian suffering

The enrichment sites are deep under ground.
They can't hit them from the air.
They need boots on the ground, and the only way that is happening is with US support. And the US can't do it unless they have the support from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and particularly Iraq, which at this moment they do not have.

Therefore 3,000km for 20 or 30 odd planes per night is the only option for Israel. And even for a country as well armed as Israel, that is not sustainable for weeks on end in terms of Pilot exhaustion, Fuel, Weapons, Aircraft Maintenance (The F-35 is 4 hours maintenance for every 1 hour flying, the F-16 is 16 hours, I think the F-15 is 20 hours - And it's at least a 4 hour round trip to Tehran), etc

Like if Iran cared about it Cobra helicopters or F-14s (that they cannot get parts for) they'd hide them, they certainly wouldnt leave them out in the open.

Taking Iran will be very difficult for the US, It's very mountainous

Suprise attacks only work when you can follow up and capitalise on them. No doubt Israel has inflicted huage damage to Iran but then longer Iran has to adapt to Israeli tactics the harder it is going to be for the US and Israel.
