It's crazy how short libs attention spans are. The embassy was bombed less than a week ago and they're acting like Iran is doing this out of the blue. I've seen enough videos and pictures of dead or maimed kids. I have as much pity for the average Israeli as I do for fucking Hitler.

bombing an embassy is a declaration of war
We need a sort of denazification for Israel at this point, settler-colonial ideology is so engrained that much of the civilian population needs reeducation. Heartbreaking as much as infuriating.
I have as much pity for the average Israeli as I do for fucking Hitler.
PREACH
Expected. Iran didn't respond right away to the Israeli attacks, but instead wanted to get Biden to deescalate and get Israel to stop being so insane. Biden refused and here we are.
Biden's strategy has been to beg Iran to not take the bait because they're more reasonable but he's not going to tell Israel to stop because he's chicken shit. So this is going to slowly escalate for a while.
with the info we have it looks real enough. hopefully they don't start carpet bombing cause im gonna be dead otherwise, but it's israel we're talking about they have zero fucks to give. more imminently right now supplies are probably gonna run out since people are panicking. i can only hope for the best.
Much love to you and hope you and your family/friends remain safe.
thanks, the previous generations went through a decade of war it's time to use their experience. one can only be hopeful things work out although i guess it's too late for that.
Hold fast, comrade.
I feel awful knowing I am helpless to aid you. I hope for your safety, comrade.
Solidarity!
Israel has now been effectively attacked, iirc, by Palestinian forces, Hamas, Ansarallah, and now maybe Iran. The al-Aqsa Flood broke their sense of invulnerability, and I imagine that finding out that so many of their adversaries can actually hit them at home hasn't been good for their sanity.
I wish the world wasn't like this.
They've also been trading fire with Hezbollah at a constant simmer this entire time.
Hopefully, this is the only response. I can't stand the people cheering for this or wanting further escalation. Millions will die.
Tens of thousands have died, and Israel has to be defeated.
Israel attacked Iran and Iran responded. Let's keep the story straight
Support for Israel has been dropping, but it's hard for me to imagine that Amerikkka and the average Amerikkkan citizen won't be 100% back on Israel's side if things are escalated by someone other than Israel. The Biden administration made a lot of bad moves, got a lot of people killed and hurt his own reelection chances pretty bad. I just don't know what he thinks he's been doing.
UK, EU have already condemned Iran as far as I can see.
Condemned Iran for a retaliatory attack. As if Israel wasn’t the aggressor here
The anglo hwhites sticking up for their pet colonial project in middle east as usual.
At this point, who fucking cares? The west is evil and western states will always side with the ones killing brown people. Ignore their condemnation, ignore their hypocritical whining, stand up to the evil. I pray Iran destroys them.
I bet they're gonna target the spice fields and the corpse cum depots
Israel supporters in worldnews were disappointed by this news. They claim the drones will be shot down by the Iron Dome and other defence systems + the response is too little to warrant US action. Who knows if any of that is true. But again, they were disappointed that Iran showed fucking restraint and hasn't (so far) escalated to the level of regional war.
Like...who knows what happens 24 hours from now. Maybe Iran launches more stuff. Or Israel responds disproportionately. Or US says "fuck it, this is enough" and does something on behalf of Israel anyways. But at this very moment, it doesn't look like full-blown war, for which I can only thank god.
They claim the drones will be shot down by the Iron Dome and other defence systems
didn't the basement contraptions Hamas has that are called rockets get through the Iron Dome anyway or am I misremembering things
yeah, Iron Dome's success rate is iffy at best, and apparently it's mostly effective against ballistic rockets and mortars that follow a predictable trajectory.
and the damage it does to tel aviv from misfires that whip shitties and slam into residential areas is much higher than if the sugar rockets launched by hamas actually hit
it's a paper tiger for sure
What a fucking wild trip their mega is
- So mad they can't cancel Has an Piker
- Sane comments hidden by down votes: 1 2
- "BlatantConservative" fear mongers that this will be a staggered coordinated strike
- the most baby brained liberal take imaginable
Oh my god those last two were real shot+chaser combo. I can't get over how fucking ignorant it is.
Half of the US supports Russia, wouldn't be surprised if they start supporting Iran now too.
(They arent talking about me)
Update: BlatantConservative was correct.
dumb ass suicidal fucking fascists
Can't wait to see liberals' blatant double standard. Israel can attack and murder people from surrounding states freely, but when one of its victims defends itself, it suddenly becomes aggression.
TL;DR: About fucking time.
Shithole US and it's shithole vassal state
nothing to say but i hope they win for good. israel should not exist and they've made it clear what it'll take to make that happen.
pretty cool footage here of iron dome failing to stop the Iranian attack https://x.com/revolutionaryem/status/1779336513274405047
One thing I wonder is how many Israelis are just going to move out, back to the United States or Europe because of this. A lot of them are capable of doing so.
Almost like they dont belong to this land or something
So, uh, THAT HAPPENED
me seeing a ICBM launch: "Um, they fly now"
Me, just after talking about how a mushroom cloud is a dumb and cliche way to die, and also all the flesh on the back half of my body is bubbling: "It's...right behind me isn't it?"
You could update the link to this article.

[Edit - things are far worse than first reports said.]
Did someone sacrifice those cows when we weren't paying attention?
It feels like I have a lot to say but also nothing to say about this. I just hope this doesn’t lead to more senseless death.
Cruise missiles are sure to follow in the next few hours.
Ballistic and cruise missiles have been launched. UK and US fighter jets have downed some drones/missiles. Iran says the matter is concluded, unless Israel responds, at which point it will retaliate even more severely it also wants US to not interfere.
