"Iran has lanched 50 drones towards Isreal. America sending more warships into the area. Shit is abit to get real. " Not so worried about the drones… I wonder if Iraq or Jordan will try and shoot them down over their airspace… It will be cruise or ballistic missiles which will raise the stakes… Also… the Israeli response since they are the ones that originally crossed this particular red line | |||

"It was inevitable. Maybe we should blame the chucklefucks who decided it was ok to bomb a consulate." Or the nation with a consulate harbouring sponsors of terror? You see, it's not black & white is it? | |||

Embassies and consulates are sovereign territory. The British Embassy in Paris is British land, not French. France in UK. Everywhere, any nation, anywhere in the world. Attack an embassy/consulate, it's legally within "act of war" definitions. If you watch BBC, headlines and narratives are "Iran attacks Israel". If you watch Al-Jazeera, headlines and narratives are "Iran launches retaliation to Israeli attack". Who's right, who's wrong? Hegel, a particularly poetic philosopher, said: "Tragedy lies in the conflict between a right and a right, not a right and a wrong". So we all THINK we're right. I find Israel the ugliest nation on earth, but I don't have Iran, US, Russia, UK, EU nations, China etc far behind. We all think we're right. And we're wrong. And that's not a lame lament. It can, could, and should become something political over the coming years. To know that each of us, x 8 billion, is the problem gives massive scope for managing that problem. We may not see that until after WW3 though. Last night isn't WW3. But we're getting closer all the time. Because we all think we're right. And we're not. That includes me. Confusing, innit? No wonder we struggle. | |||

"It was inevitable. Maybe we should blame the chucklefucks who decided it was ok to bomb a consulate." Bollocks. The ‘chucklefucks’ are all over the place. Hamas kill citizens. Israel kills citizens, Houthis kill citizens, US kill citizens, Hezbollah kill citizens, UK kill citizens, Iran, Russia, Saudi. All a bunch of clueless assholes! Stop the killing in the name of religion, nationalism, politics. Fucking stupid! | |||

It's not a particularly egregious action of war at all, and everyone is completely the same.  | |||

"I dont think it will be a ww3, it will be interesting to see what side the media will be on, what a good defence it was from israel, they shot down all the drones too." About 1% apparently still got through | |||

" If you watch BBC, headlines and narratives are "Iran attacks Israel". If you watch Al-Jazeera, headlines and narratives are "Iran launches retaliation to Israeli attack". " Do they though? Because ive been reading bbc refer to it as retaliation consistently since last night. In fact here is a quoted opening paragraph to the article saying israel is on high alert “Iran has launched hundreds of aerial drones and missiles at Israel, marking a widely anticipated reprisal attack.” | |||

"Well this is what happens when double standards are used and international law is ignored by the USA and Isreal. Dragging other countries into a conflict with one upman ship too. " Whilst others take a very simplistic and mainly one sided view. Human nature I suppose | |||

Zionism is the movement that supports Jewish people having a homeland. Really got a political start in the 1910s with the Balfour Declaration, saying that Jewish people couldn't come to the UK. Deffo sounds woke and made up to me | |||

Unfortunately and country, state, region run by terrorists will not care one bit about any citizen who does not agree with terrorist ideology. Israel may be wrong, I'm not saying they aren't but I am saying Hamas are the terrorists here, the fanatics. I'm not saying Palestinians are before you say I am. Please stop referring to all Israelis as Zionist, they aren't even all Jewish, Mrs x | |||

"It makes trying to engage quite difficult, the ways that Zionism is contorted for political ends. It's one reason why I try not to use it when speaking about this issue, except when strictly relevant and I very specifically want to talk about the drive towards a political homeland. (I'm aware that Zionism is one factor among many in this conflict, but I'll avoid using it because I know that some unsavoury types use it as a catch-all insult) | |||

"The United Kingdom has ZERO DEFENCE TREATIES with the state of Israel. Yet our RAF planes were involved in defending them. Israel have NEVER defended us internationally, in fact they have armed our enemies. When Britain went to war to liberate the Falkland Islands Israel sold weapons to the Argentinians. In recent Ukraine Russia war Israel refused to give military aid to Ukraine while keeping diplomatic ties with Putin. Anyone calling themselves a 'Patriot' and supporting Sunak fighting for Israel is actually a traitor." Your post is showing your lack of political understanding in global matters. Russia control the Syrian airspace which Israel need to enter and have entered very recently. Israel support Ukraine with humanitarian supplies not weapons to maintain their access to the airspace. | |||

Amnesty international? Do you place your "knowledge" and "intellect" ABOVE ALL of those organisations ? | |||

Honestly is this the best you and your pissed friend could come up with? I never once mentioned my knowledg eor intellect, strangely you've done that. I don't profess to know more than any of the esteemed bodies you mention. I do not profess to know more than anyone, you included. However I try to base everything on evidence or facts. You don't supply either. You say the UN have made a decleration, yet they havent. You say the Knessett has a convicted terrorist as a minister but it doesnt. I've asked if there is another mi sister you are thinking of then name him. You say the UK is breaking International Law, elementary International Law at that. But when asked to supply this law you refuse. You refuse to accept that the UK is not breaking the law and the High Court said they weren't only a couple of months ago. You say lots more, with very little substance, no real evidence, based on opinions and not facts. Just validate what you say with facts and evidence and maybe you will be able to persuade others of the legitimacy of what you say. Mrs x | |||
