I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.

I don't know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?

Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.

wasn't it about 82% of Israelis that supported the forced expulsion of Palestinians? I'm all for having sympathy for the innocent, just doesn't seem like there are that many innocents there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

18% of israel is still 1.8 million people, that is a lot of people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

It's like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.

Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.

Why would you have sympathy for Israel attacking without provocation a state that turned out to be stronger than they thought?

Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.

Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.

In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.

All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.

Well said mate.

That's the most telling thing furute generations will look back upon this politicians that enabled such violence just to make some extra buck or a favor? Q

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Hate to say it but, good. Isreal is finally getting a tadte of their own medicine. bullies getting bombed, sounds like a punk song

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I've seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?

I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?

Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?

You all make me sick, down vote away.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Israel used that apartment building to hide an F-35 which they used to bomb an Iranian hospital. There is undeniable evidence.

Are you new to Lemmy? Didn't you know murdering innocents is okay as long as it's 'the bad guys'?

The amount of people here who salivate at the chance of inflicting violence at people they don't like is insane.

But it's okay because they're 'the good guys'.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it's a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.

My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Iran hasn't hit a single hospital and the settlers have bunkers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Bunkers they refuse to let non Israelis use. I just watched a video of some Israelis roaches screaming slurs at Asians as they receded into their bunker. Refusing to share.

Those ballistic missiles really haul ass

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Why don't they target the heads of state and leave normal people alone? Joe Sixpack's family is only going to be enraged by his death.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Joe shouldn't of built a military installation in a residential area.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Woah, that's nuts. I feel like most missiles don't reach target in Israel. Maybe that's cause most are aimed at Jerusalem and the Iron Dome though?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 days ago (5 children)

The slower ones frequently get intercepted, but every time I see one land it is those hypersonic fast ones.

I don't know if anyone has any real information but I'd think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel's ability to hurt Iran. Israel's command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don't hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized "civilian" zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren't really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.

With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.

From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.

Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.
