Now That Iran Has Retaliated Against Israel?

Anonymous
To back to Israel and Iran, we have indications from the Israelis that they will strike Iran. We also have indications from the Iranians that if that happens they will strike back very quickly and very hard.

WW3 might be here soon!

Iran has been a terrorist state for a long time. They haven't changed. Only become more terroristic.


I’m old enough to know that those of you stirring up war with Iran are not to be trusted.


Nobody want war with Iran.

But, telling them "Don't" isn't going to do squat. Biden is clueless and weak. Iran knows that.


The big tell that he’s been clueless and weak is that he hasn’t told Bibi and the Israelis to stop their genocidal crap. Since Biden is their supplier he is totally in a position to stop this crap. Maybe Biden actually means it when he says the Israelis shouldn’t respond to Iran’s attack? Maybe if the Israelis do the stupid thing and attack Iran Biden will be strong and cut off their weapon supplies?


Lol, it's been a minor miracle that WW3 hasn't broken out already. That's thanks to Biden and Blinken who have very quietly been the best administration at foreign policy in almost 40 years.

Or Israel can just solve the root cause- the Palestinians. It’s long past time to force solution on Israel and stop this madness. One state solution with full rights for no Jews and compensation for Palestinians with right of return.


Gee whiz, I wonder if those peace loving Palestinians had Israel’s arsenal of nuclear weapons if they’d hesitate even 1 minute before annihilating Israel? Hell, the destruction of Israel is written into their founding documents as it is with Iran.


This conjecture is hilarious given the extreme statements in the longstanding Likud charter AND the fact that the Hamas charter removed its extreme stuff.

Hasbara fools thinking they play 80s/90s propaganda games on today’s chess board?


Hamas removes its extreme stuff then runs across into Israel, rapes women, sticks babies in ovens, kills the elderly and then cries uncle when Israel beats the crap out of it. What a bunch of effing pu$$ies.


Well we all know Hamas did not rape anyone, did not stick babies in ovens, etc, etc. Why do you repeat these lies over and over again? I guess you think it will allow you to continue your genocide?


WTF?
we can’t even have a conversation about this because people are living in La La land.


“The long-awaited report is not a full-fledged U.N. investigation, according to its author, the U.N. special representative for sexual violence in conflict. Israel has blocked such an investigation by the U.N.'s human rights office over what the country's leaders allege is anti-Israel bias.”

“ The U.N. team said it also received information from institutional and civil society sources and direct interviews, about "sexual violence against Palestinian men and women in detention settings, during house raids and at checkpoints" after Oct. 7. The detention centers were in Israel.”

Why would you block a full investigation? These aren’t my quotes they come from Reuters and other news sources.


DP. Post your source. Here's mine:

A senior United Nations official found “clear and convincing” information that hostages have been raped and sexually abused in Gaza and “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, occurred during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack led by Hamas.

“Based on the information it gathered, the mission team found clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages," the U.N. said in a report, adding that it "has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing against those still held in captivity.”

“In most of these incidents, victims first subjected to rape were then killed, and at least two incidents relate to the rape of women’s corpses,” the U.N. said in a news release Monday.

The U.N. report said it has “reasonable grounds to believe” that at least five rapes occurred during the Oct. 7 attack, in which members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other armed groups also took part. Patten said her team heard credible accounts of at least two rapes of corpses at the Nova music festival and in the surrounding area, one rape outside a bomb shelter at the entrance to kibbutz Re’im and two on Road 232, which runs parallel to the Gaza Strip.

“Based on the examination of available information, including credible statements by eyewitnesses, there are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of rape, including gang rape, occurred in and around the Nova festival site during the 7 October attacks,” the report states. “Credible information was obtained regarding multiple incidents whereby victims were subjected to rape and then killed. There are further accounts of individuals who witnessed at least two incidents of rape of corpses of women.”

Asked by a reporter whether she was able to investigate freely, she said Israeli officials complied with her request to place no limits on her work.

“I was not chaperoned,” she said.

Not to mention, Biden could set a deadline for Hamas to release all the hostages - or else the U.S. will double its lethal support to Israel. But as long as all the pressure is on Israel, Hamas knows they can just twiddle their thumbs and bask in the support of idiot Democrats who are insisting Hamas is some victim.


You are a fool. Hamas isn’t even rounding error. The biggest problem, as is to be expected, is Israel’s aggression, as has been the case for decades.


And you are repulsive. Just say you’re pro-Hamas instead of pretending you’re some paragon of virtue. Israel has the right to defend themselves, period.

I cannot believe I am reading this.

Let's just say you're right. You aren't, but let's just say you are........

It is incredible that you are dismissing the atrocities committed by these less-than-human monsters on Oct. 7. We have seen the video. We have seen the aftermath. We know they executed totally innocent men, women, and children, burned some alive, kidnapped others, and used brutal tactics to torture and kill innocent people.
Is that not enough for you?

And, any genocide that is occurring is by Hamas.


Actually I don't think you've seen the videos.

Hamas did commit some atrocities and did not commit others.

No forty beheaded babies despite lies from the highest office holders in Israel.

No pregnant woman stabbed and fetus killed.

No baby in oven.

No mass rape.


But, the murdering of over a thousand innocent men, women, and children and kidnapping of over 200 others is just fine.....

Geez you people are horrible.


Half were killed by IDF.


You truly are a Hamas apologist.


NP. I would always prefer a Hamas apologist to an Israel apologist: one has killed orders of magnitude more innocents, it’s not even close.


Wow. Say no more. You’ve thrown your lot in with terrorists who brutalize and murder gay people and women, not to mention Jews. But you’re a good little liberal, amirite?

The ideal solution is regime change in Iran. Iranians have suffered long enough. The blood thirsty regime is itching for war. It’s their jam. It’s how they retain power. They’ll interpret anything as provocation.

If this prompts a war, I suggest the the world democracies that embrace basic human rights, gender equality, freedom of religion, etc. equip whomever is left standing to build and sustain a modern civilization.

After all, isn’t everyone sick of this medieval religious warfare and regimes that torture their own people…including their women and children?

I’m so over it.

It’s 2024. No more barbaric behavior in the name of religion or culture.

I value human life and the facts are the IDF are mass murders, genociders to be precise, on a scale that dwarfs the rights violations and atrocities of Hamas. It’s the facts and here that is all that matters.

I agree, and many Iranian people actually want that too and side with Israel. Not sure how young liberal Americans are so morally lost they side with a regime that won't even let women show their hair, much less have equal rights.

What an embarrassment to Iran. They launched hundreds and hundreds of their latest and greatest drones and cruise missiles and ballistic missiles at Israel in a coordinated attack from iran, Yemen, Syria and elsewhere and all they managed to do is injure a 7 year old Muslim Israeli girl.

Regime change in the larger, richer, and wildly better armed country between Iraq and Afghanistan. Those countries were out there to see the stupidity of the above poster.

If you’re talking Iranian regime change in 2024, you’re an idiot and an anti-American.

PP, go join the IDF and then take on Iran!

Maybe they didn’t want injuries? That would be consistent with their advance warning of many parties AND their declaration that they consider the matter settled with this salvo. The big response will come if the Israelis respond, especially if they insist, as they always have when responding to Palestinian violence, on inflicting massively more casualties. The international community will see the Israeli bloodlust and then a serious Iranian attack becomes a possibility.

Let’s read this and then have a civilized discussion about it.

It’s a scholarly article calling for a different approach to Iran.

It’s low wattage crap paid for by defense contractors. And it’s largely off topic. For some reason many of you are obsessed with staying off topic.
