US & Israel attack Iran

[Metal Biker]

Well they may not as last time they protested 30,000 were killed. Theres nothing to suggest that wouldn’t happen again right now. We’ve no idea who is in charge but given they’re blowing up the US embassy in Riyadh, it seems that whoever it is, isn’t a more liberal or likely to take a softer line with protesters.

Which brings us back to the point, you keep defending the war by saying “something needed to be done as the regime killed thousands of its own people”. I don’t get your point though. You think this war will help?

WHen exactly did I defend the war or ongoing actions?

I'm pleased the Ayatollah is dead and my hope it leads to a better future of Iran.

Not said anything else or had any viewpoint beyond that.

One complainant identified themselves as a non-commissioned officer (NCO) in a unit currently outside the Iran combat zone but in Ready-Support status, deployable at any time. The NCO said they were Christian and emailed the MRFF on behalf of 15 troops, including at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew. (Full email printed below.)​

​

The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”​

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has enshrined evangelical Christianity at the uppermost levels of the U.S. military, airing monthly prayer meetings throughout the Pentagon. Last year, the Pentagon confirmed to me that Hegseth attends a weekly White House Bible study. It’s led by a preacher who says God commands America to support Israel.​

We’ve not had a crusade for ages, it was about due.

What is this fucking obsession with lattes?

It's a very dated reference too, any decent anti-war liberal in 2026 would be sipping cortados.

The US is Israel’s client state, bought and paid for

Yep. We Jews control the world.

Always had you down as a very intelligent person Sam but it sadly seems you're going down the same rabbit holes as other on here.

Ultra liberal snowflake and cortado aficionado here!

Was just reading that the believe in a 7 year suffering for humanity and that true believers in Christ will be raptured. And then Jesus will come down and destroy Israels enemies.
Fucking nut jobs sound every bit as dangerous as ISIS but with the strongest army in the world.

They are as mad as fucking hatters. And heretics, in that they are attempting to force God's hand, which is mind-bogglingly presumptuous. They should be certified and locked away before they kill us all.

Give me a break. You stated that you supported the attack on Iran to kill Ayatollah.

Back-pedalling already?

FFS - just admit that you were wrong - and that the attack was a huge fucking mistake.

You're beginning to remind me of PirateSoftware (look it up on Google if you're not familiar with this person).

Well it didn’t help Claus much, very difficult to topple a totalitarian system and stay alive.

Colin, you’re not fucking Israeli, let alone a member of the Israeli government. So shut the fuck up and stop trying conflate Israel = Jew.

I’m not down any rabbit hole and I defended Israel on here for about a dozen years, especially so after the October attack but their reprisals on Gaza would make the SS say “calm down lads”.

I used to have you down as intelligent as well, but it seems you class any attack on Israel as an attack on your personally because you’re Jewish, whether by race, religion or however. There are many Jews that are far more vocal than I in their criticisms of Netanyahu and his government’s actions in the last few years. Maybe they’re antisemites as well?

Honestly I'm struggling to understand who is using who between the ultra right of Israel and the Evangelical right of the US.

Just had one the Chinese lady who’s house i’m working on’s made, along with cooking up a Chinese breakfast now. Lattes rule :-)

A must watch from Professor Jeffrey Sachs. Absolutely spot on about Trump and Israel.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Thread has turned into a shambles, unsurprisingly.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Honestly Iranians commenting on this from outside Iran don't have a lot of capital tbh.

 

[Norbert D]

Trump “relationship with UK not what it was” you’ve got that right you orange blimp, a draft dodging felon telling us our troops don’t pull their weight, oh and try to operate within the law. F you.

I stated nothing of the sort.

I stated I'm glad he's dead. Nothing more.

If this thread is just going to devolve into another outrage echo chamber there's no point anyone putting their views across is it.

"BE AS OUTRAGED AS ME ABOUT THE SAME THINGS I AM OUTRAGED ON OR I'LL CAST SHAME ON THEE!"

 

[SWP's back]

It's not a gotcha, i'm pointing out that that thread, only 21 pages compared to this, got hardly any condemnation about the 30k+ murdered (that we know of) simply for protesting.

Not exactly 'making it up' then, am I.

To be fair you’re responsible for 8 pages of this thread alone.

It’s why the constant retweets we get on this forum are such a pain.

It’s propaganda regardless of what side of the argument it represents most of the time.

Yet you allow the usual suspects to post these on here without sanction. Nice one, Ric.

How about you ban the posting of these, and just allow people to post their thoughts, unsupported by unverified propaganda videos? Then at least you could show you have more integrity than Musk.

I agree that some of the retweets we get are problematic. Just blanket banning the posting of these is not an option though as the functionality isn’t there to limit it to this subforum. It would involve removing it from the entire forum, and it is a useful option in many circumstances.

Obviously we don’t have the time or resources to check the veracity of every tweet so rely on users reporting tweets that they think should be looked at. When this happens they often are removed and the users asked not to post from those sources in future.

I am not a political man nor racist and am sorry to say this PB but you are not as intelligent as I presumed.
If you can not see what is being done in the name of reasonable Jewish people I give up the hatred coming from Israel is off the scale.
To say I have waited forty years to kill Iranian people shows such hatred for Muslims we can now see why the slaughter in Gaza was so vast it wasn't about reprisals it was about race

Because 5 people kept replying to me several times.
