Mass grave prepared for the school girl massacre, 165 souls

Israel is not the world's most prolific child killers! Have you not read about Sudan and many other war struck countries where children have and are dying?!

9/11 was a terrorist incident?.
Perhaps English isn't your first language?
Incident implies a minor, one off event.
October 7 involved a large-scale, coordinated invasion by land, sea, and air with widespread massacres of civilian populations.
Just like 9/11 wasn't an "incident".

Happy to help you with the definition of genocide too as you seem to be struggling with that one as well.

And, BTW, still nothing to do with supporting killing of babies.

Hth and youre welcome.

I wouldn’t be gullible to believe the words that come out of the US either

‘All terrorist incidents are terrible…and now that cursory payment of lip service has been made, let me continue to give 99.9% of my energy to the ones I find most politically expedient to pay special attention to. Based on genuine grief, of course.’

What would be the purpose of specifically targeting a school full of children?

You have made that interpretation to twist to belittle. All terrorist incidents are terrible whether it be is 9/11, the London Bombing or October 7. Your example of sneezing is patently stupid.

You know that do you? Does it not fit your narrative?
I dont know what happened. The one with all the info is the Iranian regime who also blamed their massacre of unarmed protesters on Mossad....
An American mistake or an Iranian misfire. Both are entirely plausible given where the school is located.

So much propaganda spouting this tosh

It did in mine, as it so happens. I experienced war as a child myself, so rest assured I am quite familiar with the realities of it. As a result, I’m disinclined to reduce a complex situation to a simple binary, as to do so isn’t merely naive, but frankly idiotic. I don’t have to personally like everything Israel and America do in order to consider them both inherently better than the Iranian government.

America and Israel wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t in their interest to do so. Not shit. No country goes to war if it isn’t in their interests to do so. The interests of Israel and the USA align with those of the Persians in Iran, the majority of which are very much anti the Regime and its particular brand of Shia death cultism.

Iran is not analogous to either Iraq or Afghanistan. Geopolitically, or culturally. On that note though, Iran happened to be massively funding their terrorist proxies in both countries.

I would fully believe US and Israel would bomb school children directly.

Trump and his secretary of war think this is a movie with them as the heroes but they are as thick as bottled shit.

Israel have a history of genocide.

Iran also has a history of genocide.

So its possible its either of them, but not outside of the realm of possibility that they purposefully targeted it.

Children are always casualties of war.

No one is “justifying the US bombing of Iranian children”.
You make it sound as if they’d specifically targeted school girls, whereas in reality it’s still not even confirmed who it was that struck the school, never mind what their reason was.

No it was to me pointing out that you described October 7 (which included the murder of babies and children) as a 'terrorist incident' as though a Hamas 'freedom fighter ' had accidentally sneezed on an IDF soldier. You intentionally downplayed the depravity of what happened and then screamed 'but you support killing babies' in response

And then in the best uninformed radical left tradition, you gaslighted everyone as to what you actually wrote

I have no idea who killed those little girls. As others have said, it could have been either side.

I know that NATO made an arse of things when they bombed Serbia - a mixture of misfires and poor intelligence.

The poor intelligence was where someone looked at a map and thought that they were looking at military targets, but were actually seeing the names of buildings of historical interest, i.e. the old Admiralty in Šabac.

Also in Šabac, they aimed for the old barracks but hit some of the surrounding houses. Fortunately, according to the locals, the pilot realised that he was in a residential area and managed to stop the detonation of the bomb that landed in someone's back garden.

The also mistook the municipal rubbish dump for a weapons dump and bombed that. It happened out of work hours, so no one was hurt.

None of this made newspapers in the west, so far as I'm aware.

In Novi Sad, they hit the hospital and an ambulance. I'm not sure what the explanation was for that - mistaken intelligence or a misfire?

In Belgrade, there were civilian casualties including children - but I don't think that that was well publicised in the west, although the bombing of the Chinese Embassy by US forces was reported on at length.

So far as the embassy is concerned, the US apparently admitted that they'd hit the wrong building - the actual target was less than 500 metres south.*

I think that such incidents tend to be written off as 'collateral damage' unless it's your own people that have been hurt. I hope to God that a civilised country wouldn't deliberately be responsible for a London blitz or Hamburg bombing these days.

*ETA There's a western theory that some kind of secret guidance system was housed in the embassy, hence the locals being able to take down the American Stealth bomber. Locals say that it was just luck - if there had been a secret system, they'd have taken down more than that one plane.

Yup, they show themselves don’t they.

Quite, and does that make lefties useful idiots or despite all there sanctimonious declarations of being righteous, actually evil.

I'm not pro-Iran. You don't have to take the view of one side is the goodies and the other is the baddies. Bombing rarely if ever leads to a sustainable outcome. Again look at Trumps past he did a deal to put the Taliban in place in neighbouring Afghanistan. Do the Iranians have similar to look forward to? Trump only does what suits Trump.

It's not controversial to have that view (quite the opposite in fact), but it's extremely idealistic though, and it doesn't match reality (unfortunately).

Yup they have not a clue.
Useful idiots indeed.

Genuinely they are!!!! I can't believe that I'm on a forum, with on the whole other mothers, yet having the view that it is never acceptable to have children as collateral damage is the controversial one.

I was anti invading Iraqi which turns out to be illegal, I was anti invading Afghanistan which ended with a deal by Trump to put the Taliban in place, and anti bombing Iran. I think time will show this will also be a disaster.

I don't see anyone in the quoted thread supporting killing children as revenge for Hamas killing children. What was justified is having a response that would neutralize the threat (i.e. killing Hamas terrorists) and prevent it from happening again. That isn't revenge, that's being pragmatic.

And while it's never a goal to kill innocent civilians (including children), in military actions it unfortunately does happen - that's why one of the ways they are measured is via civilian deaths : combatants deaths ratio. In an ideal world no innocents would die in war, but if you have one side who is willing to kill civilians (even it's own) and you are unwilling to respond for fear of killing any civilians then the result is you being paralyzed and losing. But hey, at least you get to waive your virtuous signal around for everyone to see how pure you are while you are pillaged.

What has the world come to that expecting the Geneva convention to to respected would merely be virtual signalling.

Even if it was a stray American missile, why was a legitimate military target sited so close to a school?

Oh spare us, and yourself. Your giving a shit is dependent on whether or not it’s an opportunity to virtue signal about how evil you think Israel and America are.

If it does come out that the regime are indeed responsible for this, those performatively wailing about it will straight up abandon it as a talking point (or double down and insist that they know the real truth because Iran themselves wouldn’t ever lie).
