    What’s to stop Iran from just launching a dirty missile at Israel? Wouldn’t interpreting it still cause a bunch of nuclear waste in Israel?

    Not advocating for that, but I am just surprised I never see the topic come up.

      Iran not being the cartoon villain that decades of Zionist propaganda claims it to be.

      Dirty bombs really aren’t the issue everyone wants them to be. If you have enough to make a meaningful dirty bomb it’s more rational to refine it and make an actual nuke.

    The Zionist regime is completely out of control. They commit genocide and launch aggressive attacks on countries and face literally no consequences . Global security is at stake.

      The Zionist regime is completely out of control.

      There are high ranking Hamas officials in Qatar. They openly conduct diplomacy there on behalf of Hamas and it is quite likely they are involved in the operation of Hamas. Why doesn’t Israel just do airstrikes on Qatar and execute them like they executed Ismail Haniyeh in Iran? Are they more afraid of smol bean Qatar than Iran?

      Nope. It’s because the US won’t let Israel attack Qatar but not only the US will let Israel loose on Iran as we see now, the US will defend Israel against retaliation, both militarily and otherwise. Like we have seen the US do for the past 19 months.

      Everything is under control.

      The Zionist regime is mostly just another word for religious extremist, doesn’t matter what their religion is or if they actually believe it. What matters is that their followers & supporters believe it.

        Sorry, what exactly is your point that goes beyond the comment you’re replying to?

          My point is Zionism is imperialism & fascism rebranded, & if you live in the US then prepare. Trump idolizes dictators for a reason & this attack is part of the plan.

          Trump’s base is largely composed of indoctrinated followers via a network of “faith” & “thought” leaders, who idealize an authoritarian world.

          Years ago powerful individuals found a symbiotic relationship with politicians, working together to systematically brainwash the vulnerable, ignorant, & gullible. In return they benefited financially, while being able to discriminate & punish people trying to leave their control systems.

          They found keeping people down, anxious, confused, scared, traumatized, & complacent was all they needed to gain consent. People agreed to be monitored & surveilled. For low wages or a music subscription, people blindly accepted the terms. They dismantled the protections & no one did anything.

          Once Iran retaliates, you’ll be expected to accept the narrative. Slave labor is what they’re after & you’re the target. The dissenters, resisters, etc. will be made to accept Trump as their king… unless.

            Sorry, but you seem to have really wanted to throw in your conspiracy bullshit. That isn’t to say it’s entirely untrue (just for the most part), but still very much unrelated.

              It definitely rings true. I would’ve dismissed it more easily years ago but these days these things seem more plausible. It’s a scary thought.

              It feels kind of related too though, right? You were both talking about at least tangential things. The powers that be are allowed to do anything because the public allows it. Kinda? 🤷‍♂️ I dunno.

    Isn’t deliberately targetting a nation’s MAD capabilities (as in their nukes) kind of a big no-no in international law ??

      Iran doesn’t have nukes. Israel has been fearmongering about them having nukes since 92’ and it was always “a year away from a bomb”. None of that happened. This is an attack on a sovereign nation with the completely idiotic “preventative attack” defense (i.e. they’d have attacked us first, we had to defend ourselves!). Fun fact, this is exactly what Russia claims Ukraine would’ve done if they hadn’t invaded them first. They also claim NATO as the aggressor and would love to pull the same “move” on NATO too.

    It’s so sad and bizarre. All the nations just stand by like idiots, while this one bloodlusting madman butchers all around.

      Firstly, Israeli society writ large is incredibly fascist and generally on board with this shit.

      Second, they aren’t idiots, just demons, especially the US. Most western powers are basically vassals to the US empire and any individual country trying to break from our adenda will pay dearly.

      Thankfully, we’re doing a wonderful job isolating ourselves lately, so it’s possible more worldwide resistance will flourish. It will cost a lot of people’s lives and livelihoods in the death throes of empire though.

          Half are in favor of killing all the Gazan Palestinians and something like 80-90% are down with fully ethnically cleansing Gaza (source haaretz). I could also drag out the poll from about a year ago where the vast majority of Israelis agreed that the force used in Gaza was “just right” or “not enough”.
