US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

He expressed condolences to the German ambassador, as was clearly what I was referring to.

I'm not a particular fan of what De Valera did (and the signing of the book of condolence for Hitler was unforgiveable)

It is clearly not what you were referring to. It's ok to be wrong, better to just acknowledge it.

You are right the MAGA clearly don’t care about Iranians

But neither does their regime who kills them in their thousands, nor those cheering on and excusing this regime whom are viewing this war and the continued disassembly of international laws and rules as some sort of team sport, without realising the impacts that has on us here on a neutral and undefended island

I've said it before in the Israel Gaza thread, there is no country in the region who have a good record on human rights as regards their own citizens.

I excuse Israel for nothing,nor the US either. But there is justification in attacking Iran and it's proxies, who are responsible for starting the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the latest Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Like it or not Hamas started the Gaza genocide, Hezbolah started the machinations of the attack on Lebanon, and by it's proxies funding, Iran brought it on themselves by funding and arming these and others, like the Houtis.

I still wouldnt put my mortgage on it. But i think boots on the ground is looking more likely than any truce.

Theres somamy levels to why we could see this continue to escalate.

Between Trump, Nethanyahu, Epstien etc.

Definitely feels like the perfect storm for a once in a century type event.

so whats the plan for the wknd - is iran going to surrender in pakistan on saturday or is trump going to dress it up as a great victory..

reports of israel authorising IDF to draft up to 400,000 reservists as iran attempts to hit major israeli power plant

I thought he was stupid before but a land invasion, even if it's just Kharg Island

His Ghouls are already out saying that won't count as boots on the ground.

Fúck knows why, logic wouldn't be the strong point.

The genocide was justified by Israel on the supposed unimaginable horrors like beheaded babies, babies cut from the womb etc. all of which was proven false. There's even accounts of the IDF shooting Israelis and hostages at the time of the attack. Biden came straight out parroting this nonsense just on the word of the IDF. And that info has stuck around despite it being pure lies.

Regardless, there was no justification for the response and it continues even today. To say that Hamas started the genocide is such a ridiculous statement. You're justifying the IDF shooting starving children queuing for food, for bombing refugee camps, bombing hospitals where bombing victims were being treated, bombing first responders. Its a pretty fcuked up view to justify what was done.

With firm Iranian rejection of talks and Trump's 15 point BS plan, oil is fast regaining losses from his previous announcement.
