Breaking: Israel launches 'preemptive strike' against Iran, declares state of emergency

I didn't say Basic Law is ideal.

But it's not like Israel is flying totally blind, either.

As you stated, NZ, Canada, UK, are flying similar.
I was making a smarmy point, I admit. I am a HUGE fan of the US Constitution and its myriad descendants, but ours is not the only nation on earth that derives its structure from the common law, and Israel, like Canada (which was really my point), is definitely a democracy despite having no formal constitution - like our Mother country.

I do despair, though, that the principles of democracy that formed both our and their nationalities are being overborne by autocratic leaders without much sense of decency.
 
Something like that. Unless one holds the "they have a face that deserves punching" rationale as it relates to launching attacks.
:)
Both my Iranian and Jewish friends within my acquaintances are very concerned about these developments. They are not fans of either government.
 
First, it’s a legitimate military target.

Second, Iran’s ballistic missiles can’t target that precisely. They can hit a district within a city at the best of times.

Yes, but that's a plum target. Lucky or not, I'm sure Iran tossed one or two their way with that in mind.

And, look at this reporter? Broadcasting in front of the prime target in the country!

I need to remind myself that when it comes to Middle Eastern geopolitics you don't make any sense at all.
If Iran wanted to “destroy Israel” why hasn’t it used its extensive arsenal of other WMDs at Tel Aviv? It easily could, after all.
 
Still waiting on your explanation as to how murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians to colonize their land is Israel “defending itself”.
 
Let's not forget there's a country 1,400 miles away, where the citizens never had a chance to "hunker underground", as they were unprovoked surprise attacked by Missiles and Fighter Jets.
If you're feeling sorry for the country that has terrorized the Middle East for decades, then that should give them some comfort as their defenses are decimated and their nuclear assets are destroyed.
 
If there's any one lesson to take home from Iran, Ukraine, Libya, even Greenland/Denmark, it's that in a country's entire history, everything that it has experienced since antiquity, there could be no greater traitor, no greater coward, no greater fool, than the people who signed onto the Non-Proliferation Treaty in the status of a slave state.

Write a book about it. Maybe I'll read it. Wouldn't buy it though, would check it out from the library.

Trump and Netanyahu are made for each other.

Though I'd argue Netanyahu may be better skilled in the art of International Politics.

I should write a book about your failure to support your claims? Interesting assertion there.

No, about your claims that you want people to engage with.

Oh, so you aren’t denying the fact Israel’s actions are anything but “self defense”, then. Got it.

I'm simply pointing-out the duopoly involved, to add contrast to the one-sided nature of your post.
 
Remind us who attacked first in this exchange.
I have no sympathy at all for the Iranian theocracy.
The people, however, are simply pitiful pawns who have lived their entire lives under the rule of clerics desperate to retain control over them.
I would like to see the IRGC, the army, and the clerics swept away by the Israelis.
 
Those countries are very familiar with the divide and conquer technique - they ain't falling for it
I have no idea how you think this is a response to the fact that your own sources point out to you the reality that neither China nor Russia have expressed any intention of risking themselves to defend Iran

Ukraine: A Colony of the US Since 1991

By Helena Glass
Helena-The Nationalist Voice

How Ukraine came To Be The Property of US GOVERNMENT:

With the splintering of the USSR in 1991, the concept was to devalue Russia to such an extent, the western powers could easily colonize the country under the western backed leadership of Yeltsin. The US then set about to pour billions into the collapsed region to support the various NGO’s and Industries waiting in the wings to envelop Russia.

...oh it was since 1991? My mistake.

It's news to me that Obama was president in 1991.

No, you just like to put words in people's mouths and pretend they say and think things they don't. That's why people don't engage.

You've heard of the theory of MAD?
Mutually Assured Destruction?
Iran does not want to self-destruct.
 
WHAT ?

Iran is NOT a threat to the US

🤷‍♂️ hundreds of dead and wounded Americans from Iranian targeting during the Iraq insurgency might beg to differ, as might the Americans that Iran has had her proxies shooting at since.

Iran is a free and sovereign country - its people NOT THE CIA OR MOSSAD - must detrmine how to defend itself

Cool. And by that same logic, so must Israel and the US. Looks like Israel is doing a pretty good job of it.
