WAR! What is it good for?

The UK and US should be condemning Israel for targeting a foreign embassy.

By not doing so, they have just legitimised it.

Iran has every right to respond to that.

 

well quite .

 

If they’d taken out those they did under normal circumstances there wouldn’t have been any wailing so don’t really see the difference. Some big dogs in the consulate that day.

 

Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi was the architect behind the 7th October attack on Israel, I will not be shedding any tears over him.

Good fooking riddance to him.

 

Ahhhh... but Israel hasn't admitted it ... therefore we can't go throwing around lurid accusations now can we (unless it's Russia, then fair play - expecting a "... we can't rule out ISIS (the boogyman) involvement..." to muddy the waters at some stage ...

 

of course there is .

 

Personally I’m ok with it.

 

I’m somewhat less relaxed about the world sleep walking towards Armageddon, led on all sides by a bunch of twisted old men who don’t have long to live themselves.

 

It’ll be fine. Biden’s at the wheel.

When are China getting involved? Needs that surprise Royal Rumble entrant.

 

China has been playing the long game for several centuries now. @BobbyD to supply appropriate proverb

 

Iran aren’t victims here ffs. They’ve been causing trouble in the region for a long time, including arming Israel’s enemies. You could say Israel were responding to them. ****ers needed a slap, anyway.

It’s very similar to when the Yanks took out their top military hero. Iran have launched loads of missiles they knew would be intercepted. It’s good propaganda for the natives. That’s the end of it now, folks.

 

Yeh but Oct 7th meant we all agreed that there's no equivalence before an unprecidented attack, right? We all agreed this yeh?

So the Israelis bombing a consulate is an unprecidented attack directly on Iran. Had they not attacked Iran, they would not have retaliated. Remember folks "Iran didn't want this war, it all started on April 1st"

That's how we agreed it for Oct 7th yeh?
Just switch the date from Oct 7th to Apr 1 and the name Israel to Iran and job's a goodun. We don't look before. Nice one

 

Pretty sure Iran did want this war given they’re behind Hamas and Hezbollah so it’s all good. They managed to wound one Arab child with their hundreds of missiles so well done them.

 

Yeh bro the sarcasm seems to be lost on you. Israel have been behind plenty of death and destruction in the West Bank and Gaza too before Oct 7th. But we don't look back do we?? Oh yeh only when it suits us.

You've managed to kill 15,000+ children in the space of 6 months. That's about 83 a day. I wouldn't start a pissing contest on that front tbph.

 

That estimate goes up by a thousand every other day. Sort of lost all meaning. It’s an urban war they’ve been put in the middle of. Sucks to be them but it was always going to happen no matter how much the wailing Hamas simps demand Israel just lie down and accept it. We only hear about horrible old Israel attacking those poor, innocent Palestinians who definitely do nothing wrong ever and just want to live in happy peace alongside Jews.

A teenager attacks a soldier with a knife and gets shot but that’s grand because it’s 15001 now and gives people something to cry harder about. Poor innocent lad loved his football and wanted to be a doctor.

 

You're struggling to keep up mate. It goes up roughly 83 per day. Only lost meaning to those who were always happy for it to continue.

As for your last point, the West will always call out when Hamas cause any trouble. Always.

I come back to the overriding point. Israel is illegally occupying their land. Genuine question, what do you want the Palestinians to do?

 

Learn their place. Bored of the rats frankly.

 

What's their place?

 

Not being such victims and not hating Jews more than they love their own kids. Just crack on with your life and over time they’ll prove they merit more freedom and eventually get their own state. Israel gave them plenty of rope 20 years ago and they’ve chosen to hang themselves with it so probably set themselves back another generation but that’s on them so the cycle will go on longer than either of us are here.

Last post was a tad harsh. I’m more bored of all the well-meaning useful idiots than the Palestinians themselves, Jew-hating rats though they are

 

Being under occupation for 80 years does mean you are the victim. As for what happened 30 years ago, it was a Jewish fanatic who killed Yitzak Rabin. Tbh if you can't offer a viable alternative for them then I don't see you can complain much.

On your last point about "useful idiots", in this debate I find (and always have) that you have one group of ppl who are highlighting the issues. On the other you have ppl not wanting to discuss anything but who just want to attack the first group for highlighting it. It's very strange.
