Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

No, they continue to slaughter the starving who are walking to the Israeli-US 'aid stations'

I agree it is hipocrisy. A "double standard" - I am not sure in the current world where so many powerful countries seem to be ceasing to even pretend to aim for or apply universal standards any more.

There's no UN sanctions on Russia. Western countries surely are free to trade and engage as they will, and they mostly don't want to do so with Russia any more.

A standard of overlooking evils done by one's allies and engaging in naked self interest - the same behaviour as Russia's allies who have opposed any sanctions & have maintained or deepened relations post Feb. 2022.

No, they are still bombing targets throughout Gaza and killing people - it's not just people being shot at aid centres.

Perhaps Bibi overestimated his influence on Trump. Though it is hard to predict what Trump will do.

So bombing hospitals is ok if armed people are in it-

U can be assured there were armed ones in that Israel hospital-

This is the world order we find ourselves in, unfortunately. Western countries largely take their cue from the political positions of the United States. As long as the United States are behind Israel, so will most of the Western leaders be. There remains a strong, strong lobby in the United States that is pro-Israel and this isn't hinting at the old conspiracy theory of Jewish people controlling everything - this lobby really comes out of conservative Christian middle America through to fundamentalist Christian America. It's a large enough voting bloc that neither party can expect to maintain electability by turning on it.

There are other views within conservative America that might temper how far America would go in support of Israel, like the isolationist bloc, but even this bloc, I believe, are happy to let America give Israel all the toys it needs to slaughter everyone it wants (or at least non-white muslim peoples), just as long as its Israeli forces doing it.

Sometimes America's positions line up with what I think is good and just, like helping Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression. Other times, it enables terrible barbarism like Israel performing a fish/barrel shoot on the Palestinians. I don't get into the circular thinking of going that if a country's actions are bad in one realm, all of its positions and actions must be at least questionable. I take it on a case by case basis. America helping Ukraine defend itself - good. America helping Israelis slaughter innocent Palestinians and Iranians - very, very bad. I wish they would stop the latter.

Nauseating looking at Bibi giving out about Iran bombing a medical centre ,the hypocrisy of that murderer.

also fucked up his sons wedding plans.

Thing is America is probably a main instigator of the Ukraine conflict going back decades just as they are for the middle east. The unfortunate thing is most European countries jumped on the bandwagon supporting them and now it looks like they are left with all the responsibility for it.

Hopefully they don't follow the dying Hegemon over the cliff into another suicidal campaign against China never mind Iran.

The Iranian missiles launched in the earlier exchanges were basically bullet sponges. Launched towards Israeli targets in the hope that some would penetrate Arrow but in the expectation that it wouldn't and would also take 2 interceptors out of the Israeli magazine.

Israel needs to keep hitting the TEL launchers as per Gulf War 1 scud hunting as now Iran are launching missiles capable of higher speeds and terminal manoeuvres to evade the interceptors.

As long as Iran keeps a launch capability? The leak rate only goes up.

I read yesterday that Israel has destroyed most of them already. What do you make of this claim? I suppose we will know when the missiles stop coming. Surely though Iran would have war gamed for all this. So it maybe not be as easy as some posters are suggesting to do it.

Israel are claiming that Iran have 300 and that they've hit 200.

I'd reckon their tally of destroyed is accurate but I would guess that Iran have more than 300 TEL, especially given the recent somewhat surprise launch of the 2 stage missiles. Those require larger launchers and there is a lot of chatter that Iran has closer to 500 TELs as well as the ability to use trailer mounted systems for their older/smaller missiles which means that they could use normal commercial tractor trucks for mobility.

TLDR; Israel's running total of destroyed is likely right but I think they've undercounted the available launchers.
