Again, I don't believe it's Iran, it's Hezbollah. Israel threatens and bombs Lebanon all the time. Are they financed by Iran? I can't say, but I know our media can't be trusted at all at this point. This is a consequence of them lying so frequently.

How about it's neither? Just another false flag to create fear in the usa and get support for more funding to israel and to bomb Iran. Oh wait, they wouldn't do that.
A vid of some of those Iranian missiles they assured us were 'shot down'. I'm glad they were shot down, I'd hate to see what they would have done if they had hit their targets.
I just view this as a terrible evil that is killing people. I oppose it entirely to the point I may end up in prison oneday. I'm forced to pay for this, and I completely, totally oppose it.

Move then.... Stop the childish bitching.

LOL, 1400 dead from terrorists on hang gliders after Hamas - who broke a ceasefire with Israel with no notice or warning to do it - sent them into Israel. And the boo hoo is for entering the city and clearing it of the Hamas Government that ordered the terrorism. Not for the 1400 dead civilians gunned down at raves or in a sleepy village on a Sunday Morning.

I think Israel has every right to do what they're doing. I'm simply not taking a side. You kill someone in my family I will for sure kill everyone you've ever known. Not a joke.
My breakdown is it didn't have to be this way. Religion is toxic. So I'm not going to side with A or B. Let them fight it out. One side will win and it's likely the Israelis and it will cost them on the political level. But if that's what stops this bull shit, so be it.
Confirming our theory about the carefully-planned nature of the Iranian attacks against Israel, the Jerusalem Post ran a revealing story yesterday headlined, “Iran informed Turkey in advance of its operation against Israel - Turkish source.” The article’s initial paragraph confirmed that Iran not only warned everybody about the attack ahead of time, but it was also to some extent negotiating its response with the Biden Administration:
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Turkey that any action had to be "within certain limits."
In other words, U.S. officials informed Iran its attack on Israel was okay as long as it met certain conditions. The article went on to describe President Blinken, I mean Secretary Blinken’s role in the talks, stamping the Secretary of State’s ugly, ever-present face onto the Iranian attack.
They kept the talks secret. But it might have been comforting for us to know that all the involved countries were discussing agreed limits for the attacks. Regular Israelis — everyday folks just wanting to go about their day and mind their own business — were terrorized all last week by nonstop air raid warnings and now have permanent PTSD now over the weeklong imminent strike status. The rest of us spent the week worrying whether World War III was right around the corner holding a two-by-four and waiting for its chance, and fretting about whether the Rapture could possibly still happen before the fun started.
Our governments have too many secrets. I’ll pen a post about that problem sometime.

“Don’t!”— Or Ten Ways to Guarantee a Theater-wide War
On the eve of the October 7 massacres, National Security Advisor bragged in an essay that his Mideast portfolio was “quieter than it has been for decades”. Now we are on the verge of a multifront Middle East war. How did Joe Biden inherit a decades-long regional calm and turn it into a precursor to a gargantuan war?
1. Talk loudly and carry a twig. Issue hollow Obama-like “redlines” or serial Biden threats to aggressive enemies like the vapid “Don’t!” Witness a U.S. President who works a 3-day week, struggles to read a teleprompter, and shouts more at conservative Americans than at America’s enemies.
2. Destroy hard-won deterrence. Abruptly pull out of Afghanistan. Abandon $50 billion in weapons to terrorists. Abandon a new $1 billion embassy. Abandon a $300 refitted air base. Abandon thousands of NATO allies, thousands of U.S. contractors, and thousands of Afghan allies. Lose 13 Marines in a horrific scramble to get out, while killing collateral Afghan civilians in a supposedly “righteous strike”. Call the entire American humiliation an impressive withdrawal.
3. Sit passively while a Chinese spy balloon traverses the continental U.S. Shoot it down only after days of escalating public outrage. Be afraid to call the Chinese out for the Wuhan-lab-generated, gain-of-function Covid-19 virus. Let Chinese diplomats dress down our silent and stunned secretary of state and national security advisor on American soil in Anchorage.
4. Assure Vladimir Putin that the U.S. reaction to a preemptive invasion of Ukraine would hinge on whether it was a major or “minor” invasion. Delay $100 million in military aid to Ukraine as Putin massed on Ukraine’s borders in hopes such forbearance would be reciprocated. Implore Putin to be more selective in his cyber targeting of U.S. infrastructure and institutions.
5. Coddle terrorist Iran. Seem eager to resume the Iran Deal. Lift sanctions. Allow $100 billion in oil profits to flow into Iranian coffers. Restore aid to the terrorist Palestinian authority and Hamas. Ignore Hezbollah’s terrorism. Remove the terrorist designation of the Houthis. Mostly ignore over 120 Iranian attacks on American installations. Transfer suspended funds to Iran at the rate of $1.2 billion for each American hostage it took.
6. Pressure Israel not to destroy Hamas—and not to reply to missile and drone attacks on the Israeli homeland. Threaten to cut off military aid to the only democratic government and longest U.S. ally in the Middle East should it finish off Hamas. Signal the Middle East that there is growing distance between Israel and America. Try to subvert if not overthrow the elected government of Israel. Transfer U.S. weapons stocks from Israel to Ukraine. Ignore thousands of missiles launched by Hamas and Hezbollah, and 100,000 Israelis internally displaced from their homes.
7. Run up the U.S deficit by $1 trillion every 100 days through reckless spending for entitlements, massive green subsidies, and DEI initiatives—while neglecting American shortages of munition stocks, arms, ships, and planes.
8. Recalibrate the U.S. military by substituting DEI criteria for past meritocracy. Accuse white males of being suspect white supremacists, then investigate them, then find no such evidence—and then suffer a shortage of a record 41,000 recruits. Lose the confidence of the American people in the military, so that less than half the population polls high confidence in the armed forces. Render the Uniform Code of Military Justice a mere construct.
9. Destroy the U.S. border for rank political purposes. Cancel all prior border enforcement. Abandon construction of the border wall. Allow in 10-million illegal aliens, among them thousands from hostile nations and some with terrorist ties. Provide generous subsidies, exemptions, and entitlements to immigrant lawbreakers, not always accorded to the U.S. poor.
10. Lose control of the world’s maritime commercial corridors. Allow the Chinese to harass allies in the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. Allow the Houthis to shut down the Red Sea. Allow Iran to hijack ships in the Straits of the Hormuz. Witness the Black Sea become off-limits to maritime traffic.

Iran attacking Israel

I tried searching for all the Israel Attacking Iran
It was a ball-less response, except it showed quite dramatically that the massed defenses of both Israel and the US murder monkey could be penetrated. The Iron Shield hymen was broken. The probing and penetration of the shields was at least part of the message.
So, in that sense, it was not entirely pointless. The rapid baloney response of 99 percent deterrence was unfiltered gematria propaganda. I would bet there are some nervous guys in the Israeli bunkers, except they have their escape hatches secured to to submarines or maglev tunnel trains already.
I think even without Trump there's a chance at permanent peace now. With Trump it's all but guaranteed.

cheap defense is NOT in the interests of MIC funding.
Saudi Arabia acknowledged that it had helped the newly forged regional military coalition — Israel, the United States, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and France — repel an Iranian attack against the Jewish state early Sunday morning, according to a story on KAN News.
I wish someone would explain to me how it is that 99% of all drones & missiles were recently destroyed, of which I do not doubt, and yet, low flying, slow moving, heavily armed Hamas paragliders were able to cross into Israel without any resistance coming from the IDF. And they were able to cross perhaps the most fortified border in the entire world. How did that happen?
You know the answer, it was a false flag attack. Hamas is funded and financed by Israel, the deaths were designed to get enough sympathy for Israel to expel the Palestinians in Gaza.
Take your meds bro. Not everything in life is a false flag. Grow up.

I notice you didn't answer the question. How was it that Israel wasn't able to stop a bunch of paragliders?
There are ISRAELIS who worked on the wall who said it was impossible to breach. You're just either so fucking gullible or so fucking dishonest.
You're an idiot dude. They expected rockets and had defenses for that. 100' or less AGL and radar can't track it.
Why in the flying fuck did they attack one of the most militarily strong nations on the entire planet?
They want to kill jews. What isn't to understand about this.
