There is no way that murdering top Iranian officials in an Iranian embassy ~~on Syrian soil~~ was ever going to be anything but a gauntlet thrown down. If it was almost any other country than Israel the world would be outraged. Countries like the USA and Germany didn't pull support because of things like destroying hospitals and killing innocents, so bombing the embassy of a country as reviled as Iran inside Syria wasn't going to stop them.

Netanyahu knows his days in power are done very shortly after Israel leaves a condition of all-out war. Biden has told him that, his polls tell him that, and protestors tell him that. I think he's poking the local bears to escalate and stay in power by extending the conflict. Both Biden and Trump have promised support so Netanyahu is acting with the backing of the world's largest military no matter who wins. Pulling the USA and other Western countries into another war in the Middle East is his best bet of pushing that day of reckoning way down the road.

This was a completely blatant provocation in order to move the theater to Iran and keep the war footing going. If Iran were smart, they'd make a quick foray to quiet home pressure then just pull back and let Bibi wind down and face his corruption trial if he gets forced out of leveling Gaza because of international condemnation.

Israel, you can do better than this prick. Get your shit together or you're going to get left to your own devices and the rest of the world will just come in and pick up the pieces afterwards.

Iran claims the matter is concluded assuming Israel doesn't strike back in retaliation of their retaliation.

Of course Isreal is going to continue the matter though, they're the one that started it by attacking the embassy.

Nutshell:

  • Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel.
  • The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and dozens of ballistic missiles.
  • It will be hours before the drones arrive.

The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and dozens of ballistic missiles targeting Israeli government sites, not civilians or religious sites, a US official said.

TFW Iran is doing war stuff more humanely than Israel has been for the last seven months.

That's a pretty low bar to clear at this point.

This entire war is a lesson that politicians who promote "security" over peace will end up with a less secure country than what they inherited.

Fuck Israel.

Donate to legal funds for those who get captured by police on April 15th or get your ass to a demonstration. This needs to stop.

What can I do to help as an American?

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 years ago

Pressure your politicians to stop supporting Israel.

Israel attacked Iran, and now they are getting attacked back. There’s nothing to do to help.
