More Imperial Japan ; right down to the Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor? Yeah, my heart bleeds for Iranian generals.
The problem isn't that Israel killed some evil people in a nation that *does* pose an existential threat to it. The problem is that Trump is a narcissistic moron who ripped up Obama's deal, which was working, allowing Iran to go crazy with enrichment, thus creating a need to produce a new deal. The second problem is then that Israel struck in the midst of negotiations and apparently intends to keep striking, which could quite easily blow the whole region up into war. The third problem is motivation: Bibi almost certainly was happy to do it to create further conflict to use as an excuse to stay in power, seeing as other hard right Israeli parties were gearing up to break with Likud and force elections. The fourth problem is that Iran knows it
can't use nukes on Israel without Israel's allies presumably nuking Iran (though, from Israel's perspective, it's not much of a comfort to know that at least Iran would be nuked after it).
The problem is decidedly not that it was somehow an unfair surprise for the Iranians, whose government is evil. Iran has fought Israel through proxies from the moment of its creation.
Non-stop regional aggression, territorial expansion, genocide, fascism, international impunity and aspirations for right-wing ethnic supremacy in the region. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.
Because a war against a terrorist organization, also the government of Gaza, that has always done its best to murder Jews and just murdered over a thousand of them, in which 54,000 people - a mix of civilians and Hamas fighters - is exactly the same as a mechanized extermination of 6,000,000 people (all civilians) who didn't attack anyone, based on pure religious/ethnic hatred, millions more in other countries through allies, while launching a war that gets tens of millions killed (ie, 20m Russian soldiers)....
Tell me your moral statements are worthless without telling me your moral statements are worthless.
What is it? Is it not satisfying enough to condemn Israel for going way beyond what it has a duty to do in Gaza in multiple ways (no proportionality in strikes, intentionally not attempting workable supply chains for aid, etc)? To condemn Trump/Bibi starting to talk about simply herding Palestinians into an even smaller space and stealing the land? You just have to overreach for the biggest baddest thing you can think of?
