People have been warning from day 1 about the possibility of a regional escalation.
Apparently you cannot spend months acting in a way that neighboors who already don’t like you find morally reprehensible without some of those neighbors inserting themselves into the conflict.
The real question is how long can Iran avoid getting dragged into that. And if Iran gets involved directly, will we be able to contain this to a regional war, or will this small decades old conflict between parties whose total population is only about 12 million become the trigger for world war 3.
God I hope so. I had a dream once that the entirety of the land between the black sea and the gulf of aden was glassed smooth, and finally the world was at peace.
The problem with the Israeli attacks i gaza is not the attacks themselves. Israel should have the right to defend themselves on all sides.
The problem is, that in Palestine they are using this as an excuse to kill as many civilians as they can get away with. This is genocide. They are more or less regulating the population of Palestine, and arguing that they in reality are fighting Hamas. The civilians are unfortunate accidents (that more or less keep on happening day in and day out)
When there are literally thousands of serial killers and the school was declared closed but filled with children to protect the serial killers it is justified at this point because to negotiate with terrorists itself promotes these tragedies. A school gets flattened so a dozen others might live. The greater good.
Whenever I’m curious about how people got in the frame of mind to support the Nazis, I just have to see those kinds of comments to remember how. Some people haven’t evolved past that dehumanization apparently.
So if the only way to save your children was to pull a lever to have the trolley hit another child who happens to also be throwing rocks at yours you’d not pull it? You’d watch your children get run over to save the life of a hostile child? How believable you sound.
I mean, they are even referenced as throwing stones (a… gasp hostile act) in your fellow terrorist warcrime supporter’s links, but you continue to believe what you want.
But if you’re referring to Hamas, I don’t support them either; as I clearly said I don’t support the killing of innocent people. Even if that is in response to the murder of innocent people.
Hamas suck, As does the Israeli government and anybody that supports their actions over the last 9/10 months and even longer than that to be honest.
See, you’re doing it again. No, Hamas doesn’t just ‘suck’. It’s this false equivalence BS that has my ire. Hamas… are. literal. terrorists. and that is not in dispute by anyone worth listening to. Hamas as a strategy kill, rape, torture, and take hostage anyone they can get their evil fucking hands on. Israel wants to just exist but have been putting up with the afforementioned terrorism for 80 years. So they got a little Nietzschian. Israel is sick of it. I would be too if I was in their shoes.
That’s the difference. They have a right to exist and I support that unequivocally. Are they perfect? Of course not. Would they be as hostile to Palestinians as they are had Terrorism Incorporated not made every minute of the last 80 years constant jeopardy? Um probably not. Is this a genocide? Not yet, but it could be if team Hamas doesn’t smarten up and say ‘hey now maybe peaceful solutions are a good idea’. Until then, Fuck Hamas and their putting civilians lives in jeopardy with their stubbornness.
If and when they surrender and release the hostages Israel continues this assault then yeah. They the baddies. Right now they are just getting their hands dirtier than you, sitting comfortably in your a/c sipping a latte somewhere else, would prefer protecting themselves.
So you don’t see how Israelis settlers make life unlivable for Palestinians? Or that Israel has taken more and more territory over the last 8 decades?
You seem to only want to shit on the terrorists Hamas and find issue with my choice of words, and not address any critique of Israel at all. That get my ire, the fact that people will focus on Hamas.
Edit: I will sit down and commiserate with you on the shit show from both sides for the last 80 years, but those issues should have been dealt with in the past and are not a justification for the present.
Israel is a sovereign nation. According to international law, they are held responsible for their actions. The same law does not apply to independent rebel groups, putting the responsibility on Iran.
If Israel can declare itself a sovereign nation on another peoples land there is no reason rebel groups cannot call themselves legitimate rulers. Anyone can call themselves anything.
There are criteria. It’s not simply self declared.
International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under another, and the capacity to interact with other states.
Most of their money and support is coming through Lebanon. And the Moussad is injecting massive ammounts of graft into the Lebanese government in order to destabilize it.
In it’s ‘war against Hamas’ Israel has now bombed 3 countries that has no Hamas
3?
You forgot one at least. Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen. Maybe you can find the common denominator within these 4.

It’s less the people and more the trade routes and resources. Some would argue the most important in the world
Keep appealing to those flimsy technicalities. Totally working!

Because cowering behind civilians in the hopes their deaths garner sympathy is totally not in the terrorist handbook
Yeah, fuck you

Yes you did. Though I’m not offended, I’m just letting you know you’re unwanted.
Again, fuck off. You’re a terrorist mouth piece, you make this community worse. Please go somewhere else.
no no. You’re the terrorist mouthpiece. I’m the one supporting a government just trying to protect its citizens from rampant murders/hostage takers.
If a serial killer runs into a school you don’t bomb the school. Well, I wouldn’t consider it justified, but apparently Israelis do.
When there are literally thousands of serial killers and the school was declared closed but filled with children to protect the serial killers it is justified at this point because to negotiate with terrorists itself promotes these tragedies.

The absolute audacity of this comment leaves me speechless.
Merry fuck you.

That dude has Ukraine flag too… You would think that he would known what it means to be an underdod getting raw dawged.
It ain’t like Israel is a Ukrainian or Canadian ally, well maybe Canada not sure tho
lol no it’s still not justified to kill a bunch of innocent kids.
So if the only way to save your children was to pull a lever to have the trolley hit another child who happens to also be throwing rocks at yours you’d not pull it? You’d watch your children get run over to save the life of a hostile child? How believable you sound.
Even the children are hostile in your made-up world? Please, do us all a favor and forgo breeding.
I mean, they are even referenced as throwing stones (a… gasp hostile act) in your fellow terrorist warcrime supporter’s links, but you continue to believe what you want.
I for one don’t think you can ever justify killing civilians, let along tens of thousands of them.
Then again, I’m not a monster so 🤷
and yet you (directly or indirectly) literally support known terrorists.
I do not support Israel.
But if you’re referring to Hamas, I don’t support them either; as I clearly said I don’t support the killing of innocent people. Even if that is in response to the murder of innocent people.

Doesn’t justify terrorism or warcrimes.

It is! But that is no excuse for killing so many civilians.

Maybe someone mumbled “they have hummus” and everyone else just rolled with it?
Possibly because this is retaliation for drone strikes and not part of the “war against Hamas.”
Israel has been fighting a proxy conflict against Iran through the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas since 1985.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Israel_proxy_conflict
How is a state that’s largely funded by another state not a proxy for the bigger state? It’s not a Israel Iran proxy war. It’s a us Iran proxy war
Iran has been supplying the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas with munitions, intel, and training to support attacks on Israel.
And the US has been doing the same for Israel

So an army and a mailing address?
Cute of you to site international law in favour of country that shits on international law after it got its UN approval.
Gtfo
… Israel will sink our ships if they find them inconvenient.
Perhaps, but they’d do it with missiles that we designed and gave them. – this is the problem.
They absolutely will. On the other hand the Houthis attacked a Russian ship the other day so same I guess.
Technically, Hezbollah is a proxy for Israel.
How so? My understanding is that Hezbollah is supported by Iran, Syria, North Korea, Russia, and Lebanon.
Most of their money and support is coming through Lebanon. And the Moussad is injecting massive ammounts of graft into the Lebanese government in order to destabilize it.
Yeah Russia does this trick. Ukraine is still funding the war against itself but traitors are able to operate within the state.
This shit is cancer
