Good job Israel, you've really managed to piss off everyone in the region.
Just another excuse for Isreal to bomb kids
The people downvoting you are on the other side of the issue. The side that kills people too.
Lol haven't had to do this on lemmy before but this belongs in r/im14andthisisdeep or whatever the fuck that subreddit name was.
It's not deep at all. It's true. Both sides of this conflict suck ass. That area needs to fucking get it together and the US needs to stop involving themselves.
I mean... that happened in the late 40s but especially peaked in the 60s.
especially peaked in the 60s
...so far.
@catloaf@lemm.ee Yeah, because before 7th of October IRGC and Israel had perfect relationship
@Stamau123@lemmy.world
In fairness that happened in 1948 and hasn't really let up since.
Alas, it seems there are no winners anymore. Just sides. I don't suspect this will end well for Iran in the long term.
I'm on the side that doesn't kill anyone.
I don't think there is one of those in this conflict.
Exactly my point.
Too controversial for reddit lol
But who do you blame?
The people that kill other people. They shouldn't do that.
Where did you learn this galaxy-brained level state craft?
Here, of course.
Would you have either side capitulate? Would you come to the aid of a side that was attacked? When would you begin intervening?
Why don't you just make your point? I made mine and it's killing is wrong.
Great fantasy world you live in.
So if somebody does kill someone, we should not hold them accountable?
Or the victims should not seek justice, should not retaliate? Should wait for someone else to seek justice for them? When would you find yourself willing to intervene?
You don't support yourself or come off as rational, and can only plug your ears, bury your head in the sand and ignore the world we live in.
My point is you're ignorant or lying in bad faith.
Whoa, chill out. If you think I'm wrong for saying killing people is wrong, you need help. You could slice me limb from limb, but you can't stop violence with more violence.
If violence worked, why has this area been warring for so long?
Remind me how they stopped Hitler.
Remind me how long the conflict in Israel/Palestine has been going on. More bombs doesn't seem to end it.
I'll remind you, and myself, to not feed the trolls.
I think you'd be an unreliable ally at best and a coward towards anything that doesn't effect you personally.
If you were anything more than a voice on the Internet our relationship would be put to the wind.
I would love to see your evidence of any non-violent society existing for any period of time. I don't need to hack you limb from limb to stop violence, I also don't believe violence has a single ignition point, and it's obvious you do
Kumbaya yourself under the Russian Pontoon bridge you crept from under you faithless troll.
Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify killing people in your mind
So, Warsaw ghetto uprising during WW2 when subjugated poles rose up and began killing their nazi prison guards. You would call this a both sides is wrong situation?
And if not, I see no reason for you not to consider the palastinians with the same ideals as that of the poles.
And if so, I respect your pacifism.
Don't give this bad faith actor the opportunity to claim they're anything more than the whataboutism troll that they are.
Why do I have to choose sides to believe that killing people is wrong?
I see your point with WWII, but that's not this situation. I would personally never kill anyone, it's against my ideals. No fire burns that hot inside me.
I get that, like I said, I respect the pacifism, but can you at least not accept the validity of self defence in the face of genocide? Even if you were to accept that you yourself never could bring yourself to that? I took don't believe I could kill a person over it, but I do not blame those who have been pushed to that point of that makes sense
Self-defense, non-violence are clearly not the same thing as pacifism. I can agree to that. But then the view of victim can be awfully grey. And thank you for not being rude and trying to understand without judgement.
My point is you're being deliberately naive and if you thought for more than 2 seconds you'd find yourself supporting interventionism.
I dont think it will end well for Israel either tbh.

Calling this a genocidal propaganda rag would be an insult to rags
Just for you - https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2024/10/01/israel-and-us-promise-sharp-response-to-iranian-missile-attack/
The only reported fatality was a Palestinian man who was killed when a rocket hit the West Bank town of Jericho.
We have till January next year before a full scale war in the middle east. Till then Israel will continue with genocide and it's belligerence. And other countries will keep on posing.
It won't be war. It will be a series of small scale incursions. The word 'war' is bad for business.
Not for the millitary industrial complex. It will just b another proxy war like the one in Ukraine.
As is shown by history, USA will not send troops to there is an attack on its soil. Though it will support both the sides if possible.
Ukraine is no proxy war, those are Russian troops. Iran is pulling a proxy war using Lebanon and the various funded groups who carry out attacks on Israel. Iran grabbed that one from ol' uncle sams playbook.
Ukraine is a proxy for America and Europe in the fight against Russia. And both of them are not for ending the war quickly. There is much more they can do.
Desert Storm, Korea, Vietnam all seem to disagree with what I understand that second point to be. US will send troops if it is politically expedient.
Desert Storm was instigqted by the probability of having costlier oil if the war spreads to other oil producing countries. Plus it did hurt US by having oil rations and costly oil.
Having said that I would agree that Korea and Vietnam war was more due to cold war and not due to attack on US soil.
Good.
Can you even imagine the bloodshed if nobody in the region could hit them back?
I'm scared for all the citizens involved in this. I really hope this will end soon, but I don't think it will...

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
