    Here's a weird idea. How about not attacking the Iranian Embassy in Damascus?

    Sounds like the first SANE idea since the mess there started.

    The Middle East has been spreading its crap throughout the world since the days of ancient Greece, at least. Greek, and later Roman, conquests in MENA served as a highway for Asian and North African cultures on their way to Europe, and from Europe to the rest of the world.

    Then came Islam, the crusades, the Ottoman Empire, and so on...

    Terrorist acts are, by definition, designed to terrorize civilians. The attack on the building in the embassy compound where the intended targets were was designed to defeat an enemy in a war that has been going on for decades. Iran has been attacking Israel, and Jews worldwide, for a very long time, through proxies.

    It was an act of terrorism. You think that civilians feel safe working in other Iranian embassies? How about those Iranian civilians who work in energy refineries? Are they the next target?

    Don't forget Hamas attacked a peaceful Israel and Hamas is still holding the civilians it kidnapped. Yeah, real nice people. As soon as Israel retaliates, Hamas and the world, condemns Israel for using "extreme force". Give 'em hell, Israel. Teach 'em a lesson they will not soon forget.

    Intent to hurt civilians to create panic is terrorism.

    Destruction of the enemy's military infrastructure, including the military itself, justifies collateral damage among civilians if the military infrastructure, or important military assets, are embedded with the civilian population. It's not terrorism.

    If energy refineries are used by the enemy for its military, becoming thus military infrastructure, then energy refineries are legitimate military targets.

    Civilians killed doesn't = terrorism. Civilians targeted do. Israel doesn't target civilians they target Hamas and military targets .

    Hamas through the backing of Iran does target civilians for the purpose of killing civilians. And they fully admit it and reward families of those terrorists for simply killing Israeli civilians. This really doesn't have to be explained. But is ignored by those who align more with Hamas then Israel.

    Proportionate response is the level of violence needed to make your attacker, stop attacking. Israel's Iran strike struck this note, perfectly.

    IDF Hits Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon

    'IDF soldiers detected a terrorist entering a Hezbollah military facility in the Ayta ash Shab area. In response, IAF aircraft targeted the compound and eliminated the terrorist inside.'

    'how willing Hezbollah would be to go to the wall defending Iran now that the Iranians have been exposed as basically paper tigers - who also have zero friends in the Arab community.'

    'Going to be some serious political calculations being done by Hezbollah leadership about how far they're willing to push the Israelis, as it seems they'll be on their own.'

    Are you aware that Israeli forces have killed more children under 10 than israeli adults have been even injured?
    "Well the Israelis use rockets from jets that kill many of them!" When's the last time you heard of Israeli kids killed by Palestinian jets?

    Entire IRGC Command Wing in Syria Eliminated in Damascus Strike

    'the entire command hierarchy responsible for the activities of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon was killed. According to the report, "the senior officers were pivotal for Hezbollah's activities in the region."'

    Hezbollah, aren't they same Iranian back proxies that are firing rockets into Israel in support of the Gazan terrorists?

    Things for Iran To Ponder.

    Is Syria Tired Of Hezbollah?

    'The independent investigation concluded that the security breaches that led to the assassination were under high-level political and security cover, and it was unlikely that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was unaware of them.'
