if a country in europe attacked the UK with 200 ballistic missiles, do you think the population would allow the government to let the attack to go unanswered? Of course not

Exclamation

BBC at it again as usual

We are deeply concerned about our national broadcaster allowing such language to be transmitted via the airwaves without clear pushback.

We will be raising this directly with the BBC at the highest levels.

Israel's foreign minister says UN Secretary-General António Guterres is "persona non grata" in Israel, and is barred from entering the country.

Israel Katz says his decision is a response to Guterres' failure to "unequivocally condemn" Iran's missile attack on Israel on Tuesday.

He accuses the UN chief of being "anti-Israel" and giving "support to terrorists, rapists, and murderers. Guterres will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN for generations to come."

Yesterday, the UN chief condemned "the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation" and called for a ceasefire.

But get this, any sane intelligent person would leave it at that, since Iran said this is concluded. But Israel now say they're going to hit back harder. Just LEAVE it. STOP making matters worse.
That's because Iran only fired at legitimate military targets. Israel has desensitised the world to bombing means at civilians, when they are war crimes.

Sure.

The first part I don't find particularly relevant, an understanding of the politics and history of a given example does not rest on "being alive at the time". It can offer context and a point of view, obviously; it's not an ace up the sleeve.

As for being involved in middle-east security on an employment/professional level well I'm sorry BOTS but that outright makes banal statements like "you just love terrorists" even more uninsightful and ludicrous.

If reports are to be believed and the Iron Dome held and did its job, then what was struck by debris is irrelevant as it will not have been the target.

If Iran targeted a school and the school was hit, then the Iron Dome failed.

Take your pick both cannot be true. The latter would be a MUCH bigger problem.

Then the Iron Dome's limits have been successfully tested by Iran and Israel is in major trouble.

It was the obvious intention to test the domes defensive capability by trying to overwhelm it. The thing is, it's configurable. It's not static. Israel will have learnt stuff too

Also, everyone is saying will Israel take out Iran's oil production or nuclear plants. The first thing they will target is their command and control and missile and ammo storage sites meaning iran will be less capable of repeating similar attacks

No, that would probably lead to a WW. Especially if they tried firing this way... Iran and its frens would be toast. Israel is an unfortunate but convenient proxy for all the hatred towards our country and its allies for their own campaigns through the Middle East. Those missiles are like needles being put into a Voo Doo doll... looks superficial, but intended to enact massive karmic damage to its target. "Here's what we want to actually happen to you..."

you really are obnoxious in your responses. You cannot conceive that someone would know more about a subject than you. All you do is jump in and throw slurs. I'm putting you on ignore

Israel have been taking out residential buildings in Lebanon. Why haven't you all been crying for the last year, as Israel have been repeatedly and purposefully bombing schools acting as shelters, hospitals, and universities? Only Israel deserves education?

when someone fires 200 ballistic missiles at you, you are at war. It's that simple. These aren't drones, every one of those missiles is capable of doing enormous damage. Israel's allies aren't even pretending otherwise now, it is war and they are involved because they can't let iran win

What are you classing as a slur? You're the only person who has called anyone any names since Niamh warned against it.

I'd conceive that you knew anything at all about any subject you like if you demonstrate and evidence that knowledge instead of just insisting that everyone accepts that you know more about it for arbitrary reasons. I have no interest in anything but at least an attempt at a convincing argument. It's a somewhat doomed quest, I know.

Do you mean intelligence in terms of military intelligence? Or... Not enough intelligent people? I'm not sure either makes sense really. They don't have the firepower (because Israel's is effectively infinite due to their allies) but that doesnt have anything to do with either variety of intelligence.

Anyway, I didn't mean Israel is in trouble in terms of Iran specifically; their position in the middle East is and always has been precarious, an exposed weakness would be a problem. The press seems to be insistent that no weakness has been exposed but I'll trust you if you're saying differently.
