This was not inevitable. This is a war Israel chose. It could have been prevented. Diplomatic talks were ongoing when the bombers took off for Iran. Israel’s continuing, illegal, unjustified airstrikes are unlikely to achieve their stated aim – permanently ending Tehran’s presumed efforts to build nuclear weapons – and may accelerate it. They must stop now. Likewise, Iran must halt its retaliation immediately and drop its escalatory threats to attack US and UK bases.

This conflict is not limited, as was the case last year, to tit-for-tat exchanges and “precision strikes” on a narrow range of military targets. It’s reached a wholly different level. Potentially nothing is off the table. Civilians are being killed on both sides. Leaders are targets. The rhetoric is out of control. With Israel fighting on several fronts, and Iran’s battered regime backed against a wall, the Middle East is closer than ever to a disastrous conflagration.

Reasons can always be found to go to war. The roots of major conflicts often reach back decades – and this is true of the Israel-Iran vendetta, which dates to the 1979 Islamic revolution. The so-called “shadow war” between the two intensified in recent years. Yet all-out conflict had been avoided, until now. So who is principally to blame for this sudden, unprecedented explosion?

Answer: three angry old men whose behaviour raises serious doubts about their judgment, common sense, motives and even their sanity.

Only wrong if you think white lives are more valuable than non-white lives

No, Putin owns Trump. Everything Trump does is literally at Putin's request. Same with Bukele. Assad. And yeah, possibly Israel/Netanyahu, it's hard to know how much they know. Because BRICS united those countries to do this to weaken USD globally and thus US control. And each country that helped BRICS will get a military objective from the west, and Iran wants Israel apparently (it's likely Saudi Arabia is a secret member who will get part of Israel along w maybe Egypt). Russia wants everything the arctic ocean touches. China wants Taiwan, the South China Sea, and probably Australia (gold). I habe write ups in my history about it with links proving Trump/Russia connection. Iran and Russia worked together to get Trump elected in 2024:

Bibi got Trump elected same way as Iran Contra hostage situation, by holding the hostages against Biden by proxy so he couldn't resolve the Gaza issues. It's likely Epstein worked for Maxwell whose father worked to fly Jewish kids in bad situations from Europe to Israel. I have a link in my posts from a news article at the time.

So both Russia and Israel have blackmail on Trump, and it seems likely Russia has something on Netanyahu to get him to betray his own people like this. Or maybe he just wants money and power. Idk.

But they are seemingly pawns of BRICS/Russia/China, selling out their own people for greed. My guess is that China will come out ahead. And before you give me a bunch of rich authoritarian propaganda about actually China is great, remember the Uyghers? They had gold. The first genocides of BRICS (called "gold BRICS" in China) were over minority groups that lived on land with gold. And the reason they live there, is bc land that has gold is usually volcanic and dangerous, and usually has severe mercury contamination from the 1800s practices of gold mining. So they coralled these people off to deadly shitholes, and now they are genociding them and enslaving us and moving us to random countries so we can't escape and live outside to make us work those deadly shitholes so they can be entombed in liquid gold while climate change eats us. Sorry, I mean, their bunkers and space ships to save them from bombs will totally work and the Titanic sub wasnt a testament to the wealthy's ignorance of science and deadly hubris

No, you're right. Putin is much worse.

More than 1 million dead in the war.

As bad as the war against Hamas is, it pales in comparison.

No, you’re right. Putin is much worse.

Sure, if you believe only whites are human.

More than 1 million dead in the war.

Lol. Where did you get that number from?

Oh, you're a genocide denier and a fascist, never mind.

And where did Wikipedia get that number from? Or are one of those people who doesn't understand how wikipedia works think it's a source?

You also apparently don't understand how bias works.

You're also a genocide denier and a fascist.

If i'm a fascist for pointing out that you are biased towards a genocidal maniac, then what are you? As opposed to me who doesn't side with tyrants.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

you are biased towards a genocidal maniac

No, that's you.

As opposed to me who doesn’t side with tyrants.

Except that you do. In fact, you even engage in genocide denial to side with tyrants.

I really think you need to go back and read again and think a little bit. I don't condone genocide.

I do, however, call out people for being biased and leaving out information on purpose.

Except for Isreal's genocide in Gaza

You call yourself out?
