    Not just the inhumanity in Gaza .. in the occupied territories in General .. the Ethnic Cleansing program been going on for 7 decades .. and as you suggest .. the intensity was ramped up of late..

    Now your idea about supplying the Palestinians with weapons ... this would be consistent with US policy.. like in Ukraine ..aiding the right to self defense against a foreign occupier. I am not sure I agree with this Policy .. Just saying-- this would be consistent policy. We should also be condemning Israel for these war crimes .. and taking action against this out of control terrorist regime .. no more money or weapons .. in fact sanctions should be placed .. like on Russia. That's in keeping with what the whole world thinks .. would join in the Sanctions .. which would work because you have the whole world joining in .. not like the Sanctions on Russia which didn't work so well cause we didn't have even half the world.

    All "pro-Palestinians" support what Hamas did, we wont do the same in Rafah or any other place, thou I admit Vlad the Impaler popped in my mind several times since Oct 7th....

    We are in agreement about the scum bucket, but we are still enemies.

    Yes, Israel is definitely not targeting military targets and trying to reduce civilian casualties.
    No, Vlad the Impaler did not focus on murdering children and babies like the Israeli's do. Vlad was defending his country. Israelis are LARPing murderers who pillage and rape as they take other's land.

    You are capable to understand cause and reaction dynamics when it comes to the Palestinians so I assume you just play it dumb when it comes to Israel, if AK's and RPG's got them this result which you dislike ?, how will more arms improve their situation? all they have is victimhood, dead Israelis always meant more dead Palestinians.
    Unless ofc you don't give a **** about the Palestinians and just in it for the blood of the Israelis......in that case ill post some pictures of me surfing when summer officially starts :)

    No, the slaughter of Palestinians is the result of the USSR and then the U.S. giving arms to the childish murderers of Israel who enjoy hiking, surfing, fishing, and spa after a long day of murdering children.

    I never accused Israel having any honor or feeling any shame. Nor do I recall anyone thinking Iran carried out its strike to prevent you from having coffee, pizza and ice cream!

    You can deflect but my point was clear:
    This goes to the heart of the issue, as everyone recognized the purpose of Iran's operation was to re-establish deterrence. I haven't prejudged its success or failure in that sense; merely mentioned the real test to decide its success or failure.
    We will see how Israel responds, but for now this is what your 'foreign minister' had said and warned before the strike:
    https://www.voanews.com/a/israel-warns-iran-against-attack-/7564138.html
    And this is what Iran has warned after its strike:
    The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe,” said [Iran's] statement [to the UN].
    “If the Zionist regime [Israel] or its supporters demonstrate reckless behaviour, they will receive a decisive and much stronger response,” Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said in a statement on Sunday.
    Raisi’s statement follows a similar warning by Iranian military chief, Major-General Mohammad Bagheri, who told state TV that a “much larger” response awaits Israel “if it retaliates against Iran”.

    Ok. Let's hear your version of the story. I've been getting my info from sites such as these.

    History: Britain’s Complicity in 1953 Iranian Coup Revealed: The Smoking Gun, MI6’s “Man of Mystery”

    Iran 1953
    Making it safe for the King of Kings
    excerpted from the book
    Killing Hope
    by William Blum
    https://thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/Iran_KH.html
    (excerpt)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    The original initiative to oust Mossadegh had come from the British, for the elderly Iranian leader had spearheaded the parliamentary movement to nationalize the British owned Anglo-lranian Oil Company (AIOC), the sole oil company operating in Iran. In March 1951, the bill for nationalization was passed, and at the end of April Mossadegh was elected prime minister by a large majority of Parliament. On 1 May, nationalization went into effect. The Iranian people, Mossadegh declared, "were opening a hidden treasure upon which lies a dragon".
    As the prime minister had anticipated, the British did not take the nationalization gracefully, though it was supported unanimously by the Iranian parliament and by the overwhelming majority of the Iranian people for reasons of both economic justice and national pride. The Mossadegh government tried to do all the right things to placate the British: It offered to set aside 25 percent of the net profits of the oil operation as compensation; it guaranteed the safety and the jobs of the British employees; it was willing to sell its oil without disturbance to the tidy control system so dear to the hearts of the international oil giants. But the British would have none of it. What they wanted was their oil company back. And they wanted Mossadegh's head. A servant does not affront his lord with impunity.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    I've spoken with an Iranian who agreed with this version—the US and England wanted to keep stealing Iran's oil and the people of Iran wanted control over their oil. Mossadegh wanted Iran to contol its own oil and the Shah was letting the US and England steal the oil and getting a commision. The guy from Iran told me that it was good that Iran got control over its oil but he didn't like the Islamic government that came with it; that government could never have been elected. When the revolution was over, the Islamists were in a position to take control. If Mossadegh's government hadn't been overthrown, Iran would have had its oil and its secular government that the majority preferred.

    So, what's my side and ethnicity since my "ethnics"? seem to matter somehow . . .

    By the way, the USSR under Stalin provided arms to Israel. It's been many decades since that time. I don't believe Russia has ever provided arms to Israel.

    Apparently US shot down 80 drones and 6 missiles during the attack.

    Also, an Italian ship downed a drone using a OTO Strales dart in order to spare a more expensive missile.

    For asking for evidence that has been produced since October 7 by the MSM and this forum. You’re not playing that game with me.

    A message to show they could attack Israel directly and not use its proxies? Israel received the message loud and clear. Iran should have played for keeps. Iran just gave Israel a solid reason to hit Iran for the world to see. Iranians want a change of regime.

    Thanks to Trump’s peace accord in the ME Muslim countries shot down many missiles and drones protecting Israel. We aren’t hearing about that in legacy medias.

    I doubt that's what Israel wants. They expected an retaliation from Iran after they attacked the Iranian embassy.

    LOL. US, Britain, Italy etc shot down drones and missiles. US alone downed 80, and none of the countries in the 'accord' participated in any way.

    If the accord brought peace, why is Israel now in a war?

    Never been produced - ever. Just a simple link would suffice but it's not there.

    I have a whole thread about it.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...trike-major-blow-to-israeli-narrative.614507/

    There are no recordings Hamas made of murdering children. None. Israel just made it up.

    Israel did not attack Iran’s embassy in Syria. It was a separate building referred to as a diplomatic facility like the one in Benghazi where Ambassador Stevens was murdered.

    Still Iranian soil. The drone attack was a response to it, and Israel expected is as did US bases in Iraq, which is between Iran and Israel and directly on the flight path of the drones.

    There is a false premise in that post. No embassy of any country anywhere is that country's "soil." Embassies are on the soil of the host country, protected by international conventions. To claim an embassy is the "soil" of the country it represents is always false.

    Hmm....ok, you seem to be correct. Turns out the "US embassies are US soil" (or embassies of any other country) is a myth, and it's why asylum seekers cannot apply for asylum at US embassy. It has to be done on US soil, - in US. Either way, and attack on an embassy can be considered an attack on the country, like was the case when Al Qaeda attacked US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

    VERIFY: No, US embassies aren't considered US territory
    If you visit an American embassy in a foreign country, are you technically on US soil? They do receive special treatment, but the answer is no
    https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/...tory/507-59986c66-c52e-452a-9002-562116b540bf
    It’s a common misconception that all U.S. embassies are on sovereign U.S. territory despite being physically located in other countries.


    VERIFY: No, migrants can't apply for asylum at US embassies or consulates in Mexico
    A viral claim says asylum seekers should just apply at the U.S. embassy and consulates in Mexico rather than cross the border. But is that possible?
    https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/...xico/507-f8184f7d-9ed1-41af-9558-31a5ca6ec703
    THE ANSWER:
    No, U.S. law requires asylum seekers to actually be in the United States to apply.

    Glad to see my decades of experience were not wasted.
    Yes, attacks on embassies can be considered attacks on the US just like attacks on our service members or ships are attacks on the US.

    The Third Reich's High Command didn't believe rumors circulating in 1943 that Americans were 'working like Trojans' to build an atomic bomb. Hitler, with his provincial 19th-century mentality, had dismissed nuclear physics as "Jewish nonsense", and the rest is history....

    But hypersonic missile technology has been demonstrated, Scottie, both in theory and on the battlefield already. Now, surely we're all a lot smarter than Hitler was....

    Hi mate, I mean I'm not sure what to say....errmmm...sure people are developing these things and are indeed making good progress but your Iranian lads....well no....I mean sure they have an active imagination when it comes to their military and...yeah the IRG makes a lot of noise about the stuff they churn out...just like the Russians do...and their "hypersonic" missile...but at the end of the day one can call anything what one wants...I mean f**k me we have blokes self identifying as gals now!!. Anyway back to these Iranian lads, well sure they have a missile..cool...and it can self identify as a hypersonic missile! Trouble is there are a shed load of turds in the streets as well and we could call them hypersonicthingies too...but unfortunately they aren't....they're just turds....or in this case a ballistic missile with a teensie rocket motor for vector changes in the ballistic phase. The thing here....well.....best to sort out the marketing hype from reality.
    But hey thanks for the history lesson on the Germans and stuff and stay safe!
    Cheers mate!
