I didn’t go on shit and I don’t support US imperialist actions.

1. We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.

2. I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.

why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.

That’s not enough.

MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.

If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.

The thing is, the US and west don’t actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.

Hmm, I didn’t know lemmy had Mossad infiltrators.

Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don’t hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized “civilian” zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).

From I’ve seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the “Iron Dome” is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.

With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.

From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.

Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can’t know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized “civilian” zones.

I’m not denying Churchills crimes or painting him as good.

How many would Hitler have murdered if he had similar control over the region? Just look at General plan Ost…

There’s a reason the USSR tried to ally with Churchill against Hitler before hostilities even started.

Israel didn’t become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It’s has been since its founding.

You’re suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn’t matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.

Us next!

Israelis aren’t walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.

Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.

There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews in total.

“Zionists are mostly Jews” is an objectively false statement.

Maybe specifically in Israel the statement could be seen as true, but that’s only because Israel is a jewish settler ethnostate, so most of almost any grouping would be a majority Jews.

It’s still a good example because as bad as Churchill was he was better than Hitler.

It’s a widespread Islamic phrase but yes it stems from Arabic it means “God is greatest” and is often chanted in celebrations in Iran (and anywhere else with high Islamic influence)

Many Muslims will use Arabic for certain religious/symbolic purposes regardless of native language as the Quran was revealed in Arabic so it holds special purpose and unites the global Islamic community as they all can understand such phrases no matter where they live/which language they speak.

As I posted the above comment there were reports of Iranians shouting it to each other from the rooftops and thousands taking to the streets in groups to chant it despite the threat of Israeli attacks to celebrate Irans successful retaliation.

As the Iranians are shouting currently:

“Allahu Akbar!”

Hopefully they take the opportunity for a fresh start and move out of the settler occupation of Palestine.

I was watching on my phone, so I didn’t miss shit.

If you aren’t banned on reddit, you aren’t harsh enough.

You’re ignoring the fact that under decades of occupation resistance is inevitable.

The October 7 operation or a similar event was inevitable, whether it be October 7 2024, this year, next year, or 5 years from now.

You are Partially right in that there is evidence Israel knew it was going to happen and allowed it.

You are also partially right in that “the terrorists” were state sponsored, in that a non-insignificant amount of the destruction was done by IDF soldiers performing “the Hannibal directive” and firing on their own people wildly.

You are absolutely wrong in the implication that Hamas was involved in an “inside job” or were “state sponsored”. Or that them choosing not to do the Oct 7 operation specifically would have stopped the genocide that Israel had been planning long before Oct 7 happened.

8 are still being held. I’m most worried about Rima Hassan as she’s a Palestinian and still being held.

Um actually is a “less deadly” weapon so it’s perfectly fine to shoot at whoever you feel like!
