If BBC’s reporting is correct, what we are seeing in Iran right now is the same playbook Israel used in Gaza. They aren’t sticking to military targets. They are targeting society, and the country’s culture and heritage. To what extent US targeting is following their lead is unclear, but hospitals, schools, historic landmarks, and civil infrastructure are being destroyed with the clear intent of collective punishment. It is abhorrent, heinous, and criminal.

@mcnado Iran is not Gaza. Iran is a theocratic dictatorship that will and has retaliated against soft civilian targets. They have been preparing for a US attack for 50 years.
Gaza is ethnic cleansing, a crime against humanity, of a small civilian population without a standing army or advanced technology or a massive asymmetric arsenal of drones and cyberweapons.
The US and Israel picked a fight like Putin did with his smug blitzkrieg invasion of Ukraine they were sure was going to be a cakewalk.
Iran isn't Gaza. Trump has learned nothing.

@pattykimura @mcnado that’s who’s making the calls on this, is it? He has a voice in his ear and trump does whatever the last voice he heard told him to do. Until someone else worms him out this is Israel unfettered. Netanyahu doesn’t need to answer for another countries attack, he also gets free armaments, and non “special” soldiers to throw away. Trump gets to prove he answers to no one and he gets another Epstein distractor.

Yep ...
Netanyahu knows much of the US believes that Israel is their god's chosen land and with 'their' land reclaimed comes the Rapture ... so they will always be on Israel's side.

Not all Americans are of the three Abrahamic religions. Not all US Christians or US Jews are supporters of Likud. In fact, most US Jews disagree with the government of Israel, and even more reject Netanyahu.

Not all Australians are either ... yet until this latest Israeli Genocide they would say Israel "should have all of their land back" even if it has been a thousand years ...

But when told on that basis the Indigenous Australians should have their land back even if only been a couple of hundred years ... the veil of bigoted racism comes down ...

And most of the Australian Jews disagree with our government's stance on the matter.

They spoke out and protested against Herzog's invitation by the politically Zionist Australian Jewish Association who were doing the lobbying, lies and propaganda that all criticism of the genocide was Anti-Semitic ... but the AJA was fully supported by the Media so only the AJA's voices were heard.

All they could do was speak up on Social Media ... but the AJA won ... and not only have the Political Zionists won that case, Australia's 'special envoy on Anti-Semitism' who is being paid million$, has brought in the policy that the entire country must bow down to her/their version of Anti-Semitism, which means any person can be prosecuted for any and all criticism of Israel ...

And is a donor to another political group known as Advance Australia ... who actually want to take us back to the authoritarian Australia of the 1800s ...

And when the world saw Israelis setting up places of comfort to watch the bombing of children ... and Israel's future mothers taunting Palestinian children by eating and wasting food in front of them ... people wonder why actual Anti-Semitism is increasing ...

To name a few …. Hajo Meyer, Jewish Voice for Peace, Norman Finkelstein and the Jewish Council of Australia.
Media such as Antony Loewenstein, the Jewish Independent and the Jerusalem Post … Plus the 7 below …
But all we hear is what the AJA says.
