When Israel and the US took out Khamenei there was a thread on how great it was. Some of us expressed that it may not end well, given how forced regime change went previously in many countries. We were told to stop "leftsplaining" to Iranians. How do those people think it's going so far?

The point is obviously to suggest antisemitism and thus devalue any questions you might raise regarding the war in Iran.

I know its a bit of a side point, but why can't you spell Israel? Youre clearly interested in matters regarding Israel. You must have read the word thousands of times. Is it something you do on purpose? To what end?

I wondered why some posts spelt it that way.

I dont need to check- it I know how to spell it. Weirdly it seems only one side of these debates have problems spelling it- always the same misspelling. I wonder if its intentional and what it means? Nevermind- onwards!

What side of the debate do you mean ? Pro war ? Anti war ?

Are you suggesting that a simple spelling/ typo mistake indicates antisemitism?

I got two red underlines on that one sentence alone. Try it on your device. Israel Isreal .I get no red. Iran Irun . I get no red there either.

Chyna China, no red.

Is your device the same ?

Boolabus · 20/03/2026 11:11

@RedTagAlan what @dairydebris is insinuating is that you have spelt it wrong intentionally because you are questioning the status of Israel by spelling it Is-real instead. But you are correct in that spell check does not correct it so you can miss it. I have spelt about 6 words incorrectly as I type this message but I can see they are wrong because of the red line underneath and I will therefore of course correct them, as I am sure you would have done with your spelling of Israel if you had noticed it.

I had no idea it was spelt wrong. It was not red with the spell checker.

Isreal

Israel

Try it on yours. Neither show up red.

Ishral

That does underline in red.

I am advocating no such thing, I am asking Isreal has defeated Hamas and Hezbollah ?

Have they ?

You suggested dealing with the proxies @RedTagAlan but that brings as much condemnation as the Iran war so not the best suggestion.

There appears to be reluctance to say if the proxies have been "dealt" with.

Either defeated in war, negotiated settlement , UN peacekeepers etc .

Why the reluctance to answer that ?

And I was replying to this :

"Iran had attacked Israel through their proxies, Hamas & Hezbollah."

So yeah, the suggestion was to deal with the proxies, rather than Iran.

Let me rephrase.. Have they delt with the proxies ?

I missed that step. Then we progress to " who won", Or it could be "is it settled" or whatever.

So what was the outcome with the proxies ?

EasternStandard · 20/03/2026 10:25

RedTagAlan · 20/03/2026 09:16

So deal with the proxies. It's not as if Iran can ship missiles 1000 miles to them.

You’re advocating they go for them, you must think they can.

Just looking for an answer. Has Isreal defeated Hamas and Hezbollah ?

Well, they are killing a classroom of Lebanese kids daily in their pursuit.

Can you see the issue for Lebanon now, when only a minute ago you were asking that the proxies be dealt with.

Israel has been dealing with the proxies in Gaza and in Lebanon, which people also criticised as illegal invasions.

They have? In Lebanon. The Lebanese don’t want the proxies there either.

According to the UN, they have to invade your territory or, in some limited circumstances, be deemed to breach international peace.

Pretty clear that you're not supposed to attack a country just because you don't like it.

JaneFondue · 20/03/2026 08:43

Segue: but interesting that the daughters of the regime leaders are doctors or professors in the U.S.

This isn't a defence of the regime. I guess one rule for their daughters, another for ordinary Iranian women.

Yes very well said @Ihatetomatoes

How badly does a regime have to behave before the "leave them alone" message no longer makes sense.

According to the UN, they have to invade your territory or, in some limited circumstances, be deemed to breach international peace.

EasternStandard · 19/03/2026 10:44

As for asking questions there’s no answer. That is concerning, you can see the guy on Times Radio wouldn’t even consider those crimes.

That is not something I want to encourage. It looks like comparable countries feel the same.

Reported by the media here in the UK. As I said, there are different numbers in circulation right now, yet you called the 30,000 claim propaganda and lies in your pp. Why?

Still unverified, as even Grok which isn't exactly pro Iranian stated (taking into account the limitations of AI).

The media also reported the 40 beheaded babies, the Iraqis pulling babies out of incubators and one of the most heinous Weapons of Mass destruction, they are not infallible.

But let's agree to disagree, you believe the 30'000, I don't. History will prove one of us correct.
