To think the US was right to bomb Iran? What am I missing?

[Lastu]

I am no fan of Trump. I’m very much left wing.

But am I missing something here? Why has everyone become such huge supporters of Iran? The world is a safer place as a result of removing their capability to develop nuclear weapons? Why is everyone carrying on like Iran is a victim and they were truly just trying to implement peaceful nuclear capabilities? Has everyone lost the plot?

It just doesn't allow people in Gaza to live and work in peace in their own country.

I don’t believe that you can’t see the antisemitism positively oozing out of many of these posts.

We have supporters of the regime living in this country. These are people who support women being beaten and murdered because they don't wear the hijab.

Why?

i am pleased you are disgusted by the idea that people aren’t bothered by Jewish deaths.

sadly lots of the people chanting in the streets for Israel’s destruction and the stoney silence post 7/10 from all the liberal lefties who posted their black squares and all eyes on rafah would suggest that I am right to assert many view Jewish people differently.

im not sure what you’d be reporting.

It suits the current narrative of the FREE PALESTINE-ers very well to try to portray Israel as a theocracy on a par with Iran.

Iran's hideous administration have utterly ruined what was and could be a wonderful country.

Yet it is Israel who have just attacked them, followed by the US. The US have done so illegally without the agreement of congress btw.

Fair enough, that’s what you wouldn’t do. But what would you do?

This seems to be forgotten very quickly.

"However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic"

International Holocaust Foundation

Would people criticize France or Australia for the same war crimes that Israel have committed. If they would (which I would imagine is true) then these posts are not anti semitic.

And if the careful monitoring points to Iran stockpiling uranium in order to develop nuclear weapons? What then?

“Promotes terrorism, undermines freedom and undermines democracy” - all accusations that could just as easily be levelled at the USA over the last 75 years.

Well, I had voted YANBU, only because it's actually a debatable point and not really a forgone conclusion, but you're certainly being unreasonable now, so please consider one vote changed.
You're sounding like a Trumper.

Israel has literally vowed to destroy regimes and killed tens of thousands of civilians the last couple years.

I'd prefer Iran's posturting over that.

Well they tried to do so in 2005 but then the good people of Gaza voted in Hamas who have been firing rockets at Israel ever since, and on October 7th visited upon Israelis the most hideous attack since the Holocaust. I'm not sure they wanted to live and work in peace. They have been offered a two state solution and have repeatedly turned it down.

I know it's more complicated than that. I know about the settlers and how truly terrible their behaviour also is.

However I don't think half the people constantly saying "But poor Gaza" and "Free Palestine" actually have much knowledge of the history of the region. I think loads of people don't even realise Iranians aren't Arabs for example.

Do you know anything about the ideology of the men who run Iran?

If a country invaded Australia, murdered babies, raped women and took hostages, I very much doubt their actions in trying to get the hostages back would be called war crimes, nor the horrors of what unfolded dismissed as ‘propaganda’.

Point to anything that I have said that is remote antisemitic :S

That is a reductive tool used to dismiss valid arguments rather than address them.

So Israel should have waited until all that lovely enriched uranium was a usable nuclear weapon, pointing straight at their own country? Iran has made no secret of the fact they would do this.

Really? Even if you were a woman who opposed the regime

Yes, but I think we have enough examples in recent history to prove that you can't bomb people into your version of civilisation /democracy.

Oh please. As I've already said, the Israelis have been talking about the imminent threat of Iranian nuclear weapons for over 30 years.

It’s not an apartheid state, is it? There you go. First line. Antisemitic.

And can you also quote from Hamas’s Covenant, to destroy all Jews, not only in Israel but throughout the world? Why wouldn't Israel want to protect the global Jewish population (which still hasn’t really recovered to pre-1930s levels)? That genocide in Gaza is the only genocide in the world where the population increases year on year.

Yes.

There are women who oppose the UK Government. I wouldn't invite London to get bombed on that basis.

Yes, don't you love it when people who are spouting nonsense tell others they don't know the facts. Palestinians can't even fish beyond a limit of a few kilometres without being shot by the Israeli military. Naturally, there are no fish left within the limit.
I saw one fisherman interviewed who said he was going to go beyond the limit to get shot because he couldn't live that way any longer. 😥
