Iran says missile attack against Israel was 'legal, rational and legitimate' - Lemmy

“With God’s help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime,” he said.

Sounds very rational.

Ah yes, the mod of News that supports a genocidal apartheid government.

Just out of curiosity, do you think Rhodesia had a right to exist?

I definitely support the right of women to uncover their hair in public without getting murdered. Yet you seem to be spending an awful lot of energy defending the regime in Iran.

You went to a lot of trouble to answer a question no one asked.

I ask again, did Rhodesia have a right to exist?

I will remind you that the Europeans in Rhodesia also viewed their existence as an existential fight against barbarism.

Apartheid countries always do.

It was actually no trouble at all to discuss Iran in a post about Iran. What would be weird is if I started bringing up non-existent countries from completely different continents.

In recent history there have been three apartheid countries.

Apartheid South Africa (interestingly enough at the end they were ONLY supported by Israel which even then recognized they were an apartheid country) which peacefully gave equal rights to all citizens, even though they described the citizens with unequal rights as terrorists.

Rhodesia, with delusions of grandeur of their own martial skill (huh, the metaphor is even better than I thought. I mean, who the fuck thought it was a smart idea to have a tank heavy army in an urban setting without screening infantry.) That fought against giving their unequal citizens rights militarily until they were defeated.

And Israel. Whom every black person that lived through apartheid South Africa and has visited the West Bank or Gaza has described as being far worse in terms of humiliation and lack of rights.

And you wonder why I bring up Rhodesia?

At this point, defenders of Israel are as morally repugnant as every white person in the eighties that defended apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia.

And no, a racist (which is a required attribute to defend apartheid) is not a diverse voice that should be represented.

Oh and that racist country is currently trying to do everything in it’s power to start a war with Iran, and drag my country into it. Also, all the weapons that racist country uses is paid for with my tax dollars, so every one of the twenty thousand or more children it has blown up is someone that is dead through my money. So yeah, it’s very relevant. I’m sick of paying for Israel to murder children of a people whose land it wants.

As I already said, you are going to an awful lot of effort to defend a country that executes women for wearing a hair cover improperly.

I saw no defense of Iran in their comment. Like do you think everyone reading this cannot see exactly what you’re trying to do?

[Israel] is currently trying to do everything in it’s power to start a war with Iran

context: Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday

Yes we do see exactly what they are trying to do here. To be honest, I’m finished indulging it.

Israel says Iran has fired missiles at Israel, warned residents to shelter

Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel, the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies. The missile attack — and a retaliation promised by Israel — threaten to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war. Before Iran’s attack on Tuesday, Israel had landed a series of devastating blows in recent weeks against Hezbollah’s leadership in Lebanon. It ratcheted up the pressure on the militant group — which has been firing rockets into Israel since the war in Gaza began — by launching what it said is a limited ground incursion in southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran will pay a price for its missile barrage.

AP News

Do you really not see how Israel attacked Iran twice in an attack that would constitute an act of war with every other country in the world?

I love how you don’t mention that the US promised Iran a peace treaty if they ignored Israel assassinating an ambassador to the country in Iran’s capital.

How bad faith do you have to be to pretend that Israel isn’t the crazy one attacking everyone first and committing acts that the former head of the CIA described as a terrorist attack.

Israel is trying to enact a nihilistic regional murder spree, and it is obvious to everyone that isn’t okay with the systematic slaughter of children.

Twenty thousand child blown up, or shredded by shrapnel, or buried alive in a year. Multiple torture camps that keep civilians and doctors tied up tight enough that limbs are amputated regularly, the regular intentional targeting of medical personal, an apartheid government based on race.

That’s what you defend.

I don’t agree or like Iran’s government, but I don’t want a war with them. It says so much to everyone here that you read that as supporting them.

I don’t agree with or like Israel’s government, which I have stated publicly multiple times.

I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, or what your obsession is with a country that existed for a dozen or so years half a century ago.

I try and raise awareness of biased mods when I can.

The Rhodesia option is the direction the Israel government and people have decided to take.

Morally they are the same thing. Defending one is the same thing as defending the other.

Apartheid governments are intrinsically racist.

I just scrolled through three months of your posts while waiting for my wife to wake up, and had to stop cause that is boring as hell. Ugh. Not doing that again.

I found a single critical post of Israel when they intentionally killed the American woman in the west bank. But you didn’t acknowledge that they lied about it before acknowledging it, or that or was obviously intentional.

That is it. Now, I didn’t go the full year, so maybe there were comments before that.

I did find out about the Futo keyboard though. So thanks for that.

Also, just a heads up, Thunderbird for android has inserted trackers. The ui of fair email isn’t as nice, but at least it isn’t tracking you.

And yeah, ‘say it ain’t so’ about Neil Gaimen. Why is it so hard to not be a scumbag?

Also, the movie tusk was horrible.

… Just out of curiosity, and not a pointed question like the Rhodesia one, but how do you feel about New York City/State?

Holy shit, seriously, thanks for the futo keyboard suggestion.
This person is a mod, everybody
Check it out, apparently pointing out a comment is from biased mod team member is another group of considered incivility here.
Oh that explains a lot. Wonder when they’ll go full r/worldnews levels of post and comments control
That’s why we have a diverse moderation team. My politics don’t effect my moderation decisions. But even if they did, other mods would step in to correct it. And vice-versa.

Racism is not a diverse voice that needs to be heard.

Should there be a KKK member to ensure a diverse moderation team?

Why does stating that diversity doesn’t require a racist view uncivil?
So you are denying South Sudan has a right to exist?

maybe stop harbouring terrorists and you won’t get bombed by israel pre-emptive strikes??

i have no love for these terrorists but if they are all gathered at one place…i can deal with the diplomatic fallout later.

Israel is the terrorist. They should go back to Germany and stop stealing Arab lands and this would all be over tomorrow.

last i checked arabs have been stealing lands from each other, including jewish lands.

if you wanna call jewish people thieves,maybe ensure the arabs aren’t thieves themselves.

last I checked

When was the last you checked, during the Ottoman fucking Empire?

what does it fucking matter to you?
Damn, and here I thought that was a clever retort lol
Iran should definitely stop harbouring terrorism. SO SHOULD FUCKING ISRAEL.
if you meant hamas,they are in gaza not israel unless these hamas terrorists managed to dig a hole to israel.
No I mean Israel. Israel is a sponsor of terrorism. In the Occupied Territories, the IDF and the Israeli state are continuously aiding and abetting radical settler militias in terrorizing the indigenous population, like their terrorist forefathers in the Irgun in the 1940s. In Gaza, the IDF itself is employing mass terror tactics against the population in service of ethnic cleansing. In Lebanon, the Mossad employed terror tactics with the mass detonation of battery-operated devices a couple of weeks ago. They are also currently employing mass terror tactics against the Lebanese population. They have also engaged in extra-judicial assassinations of political figures, another terror tactic. Israel is a major source of terror and destabilization in the Middle East. They should fucking stop.

gee,i wonder who attacked israel and called for the destruction of israel when they decided to proclaim independence??

who was it that decided to leave no stone unturned and ensure something something from the river to the sea?

can’t really blame the jewish people for being jittery after experiencing ww2.

wanna stablise middle east??? maybe stop calling for the genocide of the jewish state,her people and stop wanting to something something river to the sea.

I called for the end of Israeli state terror and you name that a call for genociding jews. That’s batshit insane and paranoid buddy. (By the way, you can’t “genocide a state”, that’s bullshit.)

And quit it with the zionist apologia. None of the “ooo who did that 70 years ago” matters, this is the post-Oslo world, when the PLO/PA has formally accepted Israel’s right to exist, all while Israel colonizes their lands in clear violation of their own signed agreements. Save it for evangelical fundamentalist bootlickers and impressionable young diaspora kids who haven’t been deprogrammed yet.

can’t read well can you?

everyone arbitrary decides how far back in time they get to use to justify their genocidal action,hamas,plo,pla and whichever islamic terrorists sees fit to use.

then we have the idiots chiming in to regurgitate the islamic propaganda and rant about zionists this and zionists that.

mofo,if you want middle east to be at peace,end hamas,their supporters and the rest of the Islamic terrorist organizations.

saudi arabia and israel were on the cusp of normalizing relations until Oct 7th where hamas terrorists decides to do what they do best and today we have people like you blaming israel for anything and everything. if israel is such a terror state,i am pretty sure it wouldn’t have survived until today and prosper unlike gaza with their terrorist tendencies and supporters.

Did you miss the part where they said to save it? Nobody here is going to ever read this exchange and change their mind to agree with you. This isn’t reddit or Facebook

pre-emptive strikes

AKA literally state-sponsored terrorism. Or were those babies terrorists too?

“I’m sorry but we just can’t not genocide. Anyone trying to stop us from genociding is anti-Semitic and will also need to be genocided. It just cannot be helped.”

That’s you.

Honestly, considering the whole “land invasion of Lebanon” thing, I’d even say it was gentle.
Very legal, very cool
Very demeure very mindful
