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! |

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. https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/un-finds-clear-convincing-information-hostages-raped-gaza-rcna141789 |
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. |
It still hasn't happened. |
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? DP |
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! |
They can't define a woman, so I don't see a problem. |
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. |
