Israel is a country at war and I know many will have links or family in that country so I think it appropriate to wish them safety in the coming days.

I have family in Israel and I echo what you say OP, but would extend my good wishes to the civilians in Iran affected. I am no fan of Netanyahu but I understand why Israel has struck Iranian nuclear sites and related infrastructure and even individual figures. But civilian deaths are tragic.

I don’t agree with what Netanyahu is doing in Gaza and I certainly don’t support the regime in Iran but goodness I just want to convey my thoughts to those in both countries dealing with the ongoing strike. It must be terrifying and please know that whatever many of us think about your leadership we absolutely don’t wish this on you. Hoping you all stay as safe and well as you can during this awful time. ❤️

Israel attacked legitimate military targets. And it only did so to stop the Iranian threat. Not to mention that arguably Iran attacked first via its proxies.

Show quote history

"Reuters also reported that nearly 80 Iranian civilians were killed in Israeli strikes on apartment blocks".

I find it interesting that people thought genocide in Gaza was justified after October 7th, but with Iran's retaliation after Israel attacked it is not and we have to side wih a party that started another war?

Do you wish safety to the civilians or people who have links/families in the countries they are at war with as well?

Absolutely this.

Iran does not have the capability to hit Israel accurately hence the civilian casualties.

I second the motion. Whenever Israel is attacked, be it by Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran and anyone else, the targets are always civilian. But we don't hear a peep from do gooders.
