Several loud explosions were heard in Iran’s capital, Tehran, and the nearby Karaj city early on Saturday, semi-official Iranian media said.

      Because Israel attacked Iran.

      Going back to when the Zionist state of Israel first took over half of Palestine.

        Going back to when Muslims massacred the native Jewish population before Israel even existed.

          I sometimes wonder if the world would be more peaceful nowadays if colonialism never happened

        Are you saying Israel should not retaliate against attacks against them? Let Iran and their proxies just kill their people?

            No, I don’t. And wtf are Israeli proxies? That sounds very much like the global Jewish conspiracy.

            It is the Iranian regime and their terrorist proxies that attack Israel and want to genocide them. Since when have you all become so hot and bothered for Islamists? Just because you hate Israel does not mean you should suddenly become little jihadi mouthpieces.

              Jesus christ, what a stretch. Please tell me you aren’t seriously incapable of seeing how this will just result in more aggression from Iran and their terrorist buddies, and israel and their buddies (the US since it has to be spelled out to you). Being capable of seeing the consequences of this doesn’t mean weren’t hot and bothered for islamists or jihad mouthpieces lol.

              This is you.

                So, aside from all of your false equivalence… What are you proposing that isn’t appeasement politics towards terrorists to solve this? Because if someone came and attacked you and your family, surely you would not let them just do that out of fear of constant retaliation, right?

                  Ffs. Its sad that you can’t see how “their side” can use the same shitty argument. And it doesn’t matter what I propose I’m not the one who can solve this millenia long conflict. You examples is why crime families keep attacking each other. And eye for an eye makes the world go blind bud.

                    Israel isn’t a crime family, it’s a recognized country of people who were already persecuted and genocided for all of history. Every country has a right to defend themselves against getting attacked. If Iran launches its proxies to attack Israel, then Israel is of course going to retaliate. What you’re doing is spewing antisemitic propaganda. You’re equating terrorists and terror regimes such as Iran with Israel. You’re saying that both sides are the same and you’re basically saying that Israel has no right to defend their country and their people. Regardless of what you think of the extend of the response of Israel in Gaza, or even the shitty policies regarding their settlers, you’re still defending aggressors and blame victims.

                    You might as well cry about the allied forces bombing Nazi Germany, or the US bombing the IS.

        It ends where the people of the world stop giving away their own power to strangers in exchange for trinkets. How many people need to die before that happens will have to be a decision that the world makes collectively.

        The beast is eating itself. The meek shall inherit the Earth.
