Surely Iranian strike targets in Israel are simply acts of state terrorism now and the international community should highlight this. It seems like Iran is lashing out in the hope of instilling fear into the Israeli population to try and break the Israeli people. It won't work.

@mids2019 you have been on these boards a while and seen the countless threads condemning the bombing of hospitals etc. Now you start a thread about an Israeli hospital being bombed and are shocked people are bringing it back to Gaza and using inflammatory statements like it began on October 7th. (Also extensively debated)

I would have given you a lot more credit than to do something like this.

You thinking oct 7 was the start of all of this shows how much you actually know.

This. OP your ignorance is mind boggling. This didn’t start on the 7 Oct. Listen/read something beyond the JC. Maybe try Norman Finkelstone whose parents were holocaust survivors.

Shows how much you are blinded by your hatred of Israel.
Hamas (backed by Iran) started this, and Hamas could end it by surrendering. It’s not like they are going to win is it?
They could admit defeat, and end the suffering for their people.

Why do people keep bringing Gaza into a discussion about a conflict between two sovereign states? Can any attack by the Iranians be justified by but.....but.....Gaza.

You can decouple the two conflicts and actually have concern like Keir Starmer has about the proximity of Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
And any way October 7th was the start of this sorry mess.

Because Israel made it clear they believe such actions are acceptable when “defending” itself.

Iran is hardly a beacon of decency so I wouldn’t expect them to act any better than Israel has.

Oh so now it's a problem to do that.
It wasn't for the last 20 months.

Height of hypocrisy.

So is it ok for Israel to do this to Gaza though??

Toadstool101 · 22/06/2025 08:02

Are you serious? I could laugh if it wasn’t all so sad. I don’t think any normal person is going to be stretching themselves with outcry for the Israelis. They’re a bit busy trying to get Israel to stop killing and maiming children.

Israel has made all level of atrocity and depravity in war fair game. Sadly Israeli citizens will perhaps pay some price for changing the rules of the game.

Hoppinggreen · 22/06/2025 07:57

Same reason Israel did I imagine

LittleAlexHornesPocket · 22/06/2025 07:54

Have you seen the images coming out from Gaza. The entire place has been flattened. Where is your outrage for that? Entire districts gone.

Mehmeh22 · 22/06/2025 07:52

What you mean like what Isreal have done to Gaza? So it IS an act of terrorism!
