US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Whataboutery 101.

A military analyst on CNN last night confirmed what I had already assumed, which was when Tehran suffers a missile attack, they have a list of the "Usual Suspects", and so their runbooks say "Launch missiles against a couple of our enemies in the area", which is Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait. Presumeably the runbook doesn't have an entry stating "Target the US Navy aircraft carrier that is floating somewhere in the vicinity".

More people have been killed so far in the Gaza genocide than were in the Bosnian genocide

Gaza was completely destroyed by the terrorist state and its entire population displaced - that is certainly much worse than what happened in Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

Also, Yugoslavia was a series of insurgencies, ethnic conflicts and civil wars rather than a nihilistic colonial occupier seeking to 'put manners on' a people over which they had total control.

It shows Trumps giant misunderstanding of Iran that he thought the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would weaken Iranian resolve and cause an uprising. His stupidity is costing American billions and worse still lives.

You think it was an inside job?

What is the evidence?

The West may well seriously regret hitching themselves to the rogue / pariah state of Israel in 2026. It's their worst foreign policy error of the last few decades……much, much worse than the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It could end up bringing down western governments.

The EU should just hand over Cyprus to the Iranians, for the sake of peace.

Trade land for peace. That what people tell us.

European gas futures ripping to the largest daily rise since March 2022 after Qatar energy halted production. Currently up 47%, what a disaster !

Israeli gas already offline and soon Egypt also. Could be a bit of a problem coming.

Washington Post claims there are very serious tensions between the Pentagon and the orange clown - the latter doesn't seem to know what he is doing or to have any 'out' strategy for the war.

Indeed, it's an attack on the British / US military, not 'on Cyprus' - the airfield is effectively British territory.

Would you go way outta that…

You talking about “utter hypocrisy” is a bit rich, to be honest.

For the past two years you’ve defended virtually every Israeli action with cries of “Israel has a right to defend itself,” regardless of the civilian toll. When schools, apartment blocks or hospitals were hit, you either denied wrongdoing completely or claimed it as “Hamas infrastructure” and moved on.

Now you’re suddenly concerned about consistency because people aren’t reacting in exactly the way you think they should to Iranian strikes.

if Iran is targeting civilians, that’s wrong. Deliberately hitting civilian areas is wrong whether it’s done by Iran, Israel, the US, or anyone else. No one should be excusing that.

But you don’t get to spend two years minimising or justifying civilian deaths when Israel does it, and then suddenly discover your outrage when the roles are reversed. If “right to defend itself” is a universal principle, then it applies universally. and if targeting civilians is unacceptable, then it is unacceptable universally too.

The issue isn’t that people won’t condemn Iran. The issue is that posters are tired of the clear double standards espoused by posters like yourself. If you’re genuinely concerned about hypocrisy, it might be worth reflecting on whether you’ve applied the same standards consistently over the past two years.

You’ve also openly admitted in the other thread that you don’t even read the responses to your posts. You have a history of dropping deliberately inflammatory posts (calling it Judea and Samaria, "so called Palestinians" was another one) in the other thread, ignore rebuttals, disappear when challenged, and then reappear later as if none of the counter-arguments were ever made. It is beyond tiring at this stage.
