Israeli military says it has completed 'precise strikes' on military targets in Iran
www.abc.net.au
Israel had been planning a response to a ballistic-missile barrage carried out by Iran on October 1, Tehran's second direct attack on Israel in six months.

Several loud explosions were heard in Iran’s capital, Tehran, and the nearby Karaj city early on Saturday, semi-official Iranian media said.

    How many capitals can Israel bomb in the space of a week? They must be running out of countries in range by now.

      It’d be regional, for sure. I don’t think Israel is going to pull the US into it, nor Iran pull Russia (mostly because they don’t even have the power to fight a war on their own border). Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the rest are going to try to stay out of it as much as they can, but still contribute a little material support. I don’t think it’s going to be a global conflict.

      We’re due.

      As a species that got to be number 1, we have nothing left to express our dominating nature on except ourselves. You don’t just evolve out of that in a couple hundred years—you gotta have a nature that is highly successful at doing what it does best deeply instilled. It seems every now and then we have to let it out. It’s like masturbating to weird porn. We’re ashamed after, say we’ll never do it again, but over time the nature needs exercise.

      It’s just what we are. It’s in our nature to kill each other if there’s nothing left to dominate. We need it. The best you can do is reject it and try be a better person every day, and not hate yourself if that species number 1 nature comes out at times. Evolution is incredibly slow.

      Edit: Sorry if no one wanted to hear that. And it’s obviously a personal opinion.

        A very small percentage of people have this nature… The problem is, because everyone else has a more docile and cooperative nature, the sociopaths are able to just trample them.

          Are you saying Israel should not retaliate against attacks against them? Let Iran and their proxies just kill their people?

              No, I don’t. And wtf are Israeli proxies? That sounds very much like the global Jewish conspiracy.

              It is the Iranian regime and their terrorist proxies that attack Israel and want to genocide them. Since when have you all become so hot and bothered for Islamists? Just because you hate Israel does not mean you should suddenly become little jihadi mouthpieces.

                Jesus christ, what a stretch. Please tell me you aren’t seriously incapable of seeing how this will just result in more aggression from Iran and their terrorist buddies, and israel and their buddies (the US since it has to be spelled out to you). Being capable of seeing the consequences of this doesn’t mean weren’t hot and bothered for islamists or jihad mouthpieces lol.

                This is you.

                  So, aside from all of your false equivalence… What are you proposing that isn’t appeasement politics towards terrorists to solve this? Because if someone came and attacked you and your family, surely you would not let them just do that out of fear of constant retaliation, right?

        Because Israel attacked Iran.

        Going back to when the Zionist state of Israel first took over half of Palestine.

          It ends where the people of the world stop giving away their own power to strangers in exchange for trinkets. How many people need to die before that happens will have to be a decision that the world makes collectively.

          The beast is eating itself. The meek shall inherit the Earth.

      As far as I can tell they have great aim, they just don’t care who is in the building they precisely targeted.

      Enough of a reason to stand against Israel yet Harris?

      Or Trump.

      The region is not safe under either of them as long as their is bipartisan support for Israel.

            The candidate that has won a majority of elections since I think forever:

            Vances’ ex-gf.

            And when you ask:

            Who is that?

            I have to ask if you are serious about wanting to win this election. Because the constant battering that “voters have no choice” is literally losing this election for Harris. You can either address their criticisms, or recognize that you, when making this false dichotomy, you are part of the reason why Harris is losing.

            This argument is so fucking tired, and such an obvious failure, I can’t believe any one still making it is making it in good faith. Any one relying on this trope is either an idiot or a liar.
