How many of those countries did Israel sneak into, rape and murder women and little girls, and cook their babies in the microwave. Also, love how you slide a little good ole fashion racism in just for good measure.
Once again you have no evidence Iran is an irrational actor. If anything Israel is the main aggressor in the middle east considering how many countries they've bombed in just last 6 months
I don’t think Israel is in the right, but you said Iran wasn’t an irrational actor. I believe they both are.Don't know about sneaking into countrirs but the Israeli's are accused of raping Palestinian prisoners. Rights probe alleges sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli forces used as ‘method of war’
Israel and Mossad are well known for engaging in pretty dehumanizing behavior towards the Palestinians. Just because American media is controlled by zionists and doesn't report on it does not mean it doesn't happen. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-rele...ture-against-palestinians-custody-preventable
Nobody is innocent in this situation. The Israelis are just as bad as the Palestinians and Iranians. Which is why as an American we shouldn't be involved with these barbaric people. Let them kill each other if they want. We should just concern ourselves with what's going on inside our borders. Not trying to police the world.
No they didn’t. You’re making things up
Go listen to Netanyahu after the bombing campaign started. He was speaking directly to the Iranian people to rise up and topple the Islamic regime. The mission was even called something like "Rising Lion" to encourage the Iranian revolt against the Ayatollah. Trump himself called for regime change a number of times.
If you think they weren't trying to topple the Islamic Regime in Iran youre kidding yourself. The only reason the Israelis stopped is because of how much damage the Iranian missiles were doing in Tel Aviv and Haifa. If the Iron Dome had held you wouldn't have seen Israel agreeing to a ceasefire. They would have kept going until the Islamic regime was toppled.
This is why Iran won this round. They survived regime change. Which is the ultimate goal of Israel and the Zionist lobby.
Iran invaded Iraq as part of the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq invaded first, then lost ground. There was a ceasefire agreement pseudo in place, Iran rejected it and invaded iraq and the war drug on for another couple of years.
they have who knows how many proxies destabilizing the greater area. Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas. Even the issues with Pakistan in Sistan and Baluchestan. They have even traded shells at high speed with the new Taliban government. so even without their formal military doing to much they haven't been paragons of peace.
I am sure you won't accept it as "toppling" but as far as interfering with other nation's governments look at Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. each one has had the Iranian thumb on it pretty heavily, and arguably completely in some cases.
Barely surviving (for now) != defeating and "slapping".Go listen to Netanyahu after the bombing campaign started. He was speaking directly to the Iranian people to rise up and topple the Islamic regime. The mission was even called something like "Rising Lion" to encourage the Iranian revolt against the Ayatollah. Trump himself called for regime change a number of times.

For an action to be evil, the intent behind it has to be for nefarious reasons.
He's right y'all.So when Osama Bin Laden said he was attacking the United States because of our foreign policy in the Middle East that makes his actions not evil because he didn't have nefarious reasons?
If intent is your requirement for an action to be evil then there is no difference between us and the "terrorists". Because their intent is to defend their people and their beliefs just like our intent is to defend our people and our beliefs.
Great job arguing for moral relativism.
Here are a few objective reasons:
Bill of Rights
Among the highest per capita income
Largest economy
Most powerful military
Leads the world in IP creation
Medical system that is among the world’s best
Currency is the reserve currency for rest of the world
Higher ed system is still the world leader
In spite of flaws nobody does multiethnic culture better
Self sufficient in energy
Among the highest environmental standards
Language is the world standard for business and technology
I could go on and we may not be the best in every category, but no other country has the whole package like the US. People (including a former president) grouse all the time about how we are nothing special. It is IMHO ungrateful and objectively false.
I don’t think Israel is in the right, but you said Iran wasn’t an irrational actor. I believe they both are.
I don’t hate either. I agree that it shouldn’t concern us.I can get behind that. You guys think I've been advocating for the Iranian regime when I hate them. The difference is I also hate Zionist regime in Israel. Both are terrible and I don't want us as Americans wasting our resources on helping either side. Let them kill each other if they want. It shouldn't be any of our business.
They could have killed the leader of Iran if they wished. You’re lying to yourself if you believe otherwise.
Iran lost horrifically. Their chain of command was decimated.
Killing the leader does nothing. His second in command just takes over. Remember this isn't the first Ayatollah. The Iranians have had other leaders before this current one.
Regime change requires replacing the current Islamic regime with another secular regime. That's what the Israelis wanted. And that's what didn't happen. Just killing the Ayatollah doesn't completely remove the current regime.
Want is a strong word. Would they be upset? No. Are they willing to commit to it? No. Was it the goal of this military operation? No.
So pretending their failure to achieve something that wasn’t the actual goal…is a complete joke. But it is the level of argument we are used to from you
This is a worse take then your Dobbs will be HOF if given the chanceNetanyahu hasn't been calling for us to attack Iran for 30 years just so we could drop a few bombs and then sign a ceasefire with them. The goal was regime change because the Iranians aren't just gonna stop trying to get a nuke no matter how far this attack set them back. Also they're not gonna just suddenly stop supporting the enemies of Israel.
Whether you like it or not, the mere fact the Iranian regime has lived to see another day means they won this round.
So when Osama Bin Laden said he was attacking the United States because of our foreign policy in the Middle East that makes his actions not evil because he didn't have nefarious reasons?
