It is a perfect summary of Netanyahu's view on the world.

Yeah, it's really not. I don't like him but he's not a monster.

And what did you expect Israel to do when their children were butchered in cold blood by Hamas on Oct 7?

Another chilling post, attempting to justify the aggression of the Israelis. One has to wonder at the character of some people. No wonder so many atrocities happen when some are prepared to shrug off so much murder and aggression.

There are “quite a few” in every country who would like rid of their political leaders. Where does it end?

If their political leaders gun them down in their thousands for merely protesting they might have a valid point.

What comes next is absolutely guaranteed to be far far better than the decades of slavery they have just endured under the vile beasts who have thankfully been eradicated.

Iranians are over the moon and the OP and others who are desperate for any chance to screech about Trump are behaving monstrously and pathetically.

And that is all I will be saying on the subject, because I'm right, and there's no more to add. Bye :)

I despair at the lack of intelligence at some of these posts.
How on earth can you possibly guarantess that what comes next will be better than the CURRENT regime (they are still in power remember, despite the US politicians begging the Iranians to rise up and conquer them). Some of the Iranians are over the moon, some are not, many resent the US interference and do not want a US puppet imposed on them. There is a very good chance that what comes next could be much worse for the Iranians, the whole region and even the whole world. If this war is a long one, involving ground troops, the blockade of the S of H, attacks on energy and water infrastructure, etc, the economic consequences for the UK and many other countries will be immense. That's before you even start thinking about the longer term consequences.

Iran: Growing Evidence of Countrywide Massacres | Human Rights Watch

Its pretty clear the Iranian government has killed thousands of its own population, some said 12,000 alone were murdered in January by the Iranian government.

Its a tragedy that the school girls were killed and violence is wrong, however this was not a benign regime. Its not black and white - anyone who thinks it is black and white is naive.

Trump and Netanyah were wrong to attack but the Iranian government were evil and the deaths of their leadership is not something to be sad about.

Of course they have a valid point but that isn't the point.
Do you think that any country can simply attack any other country because they don't like the leadership and want to install a friendly leader? Is it fine to ignore international law and your own congress and simply launch weapons?
Presumably it is also fine for China to attack Taiwan or Japan? Is it also fine Russia to flatten Ukraine and then start on the Baltic states? Should they perhaps attack Western Europe too because they dislike the leadership? Does it matter that millions of civillians could be killed?

Are you saying that the fact that the Iranian regime is not 'benign' means that the death of 160 or so school girls is justified? It should be pointed out that the killing of the citizens by the Iranians, which is not to be justified in any way at all, has led on from the deliberate US interference. Bessant has talked openly about the US aim to sink the Iranian economy in order to create unrest. The CIA have also been involved in creating unrest amongst the population.

Oh is it? It looked like he had to retaliate when Hamas stormed into Israel on October 7 and massacred children.

I don't believe in an eye for eye justice.

Instead you'd just let terrorists run rampant over your country, killing maiming, torturing and kidnapping. Good to know.

That's what happens in the West Bank and Palestinians are expected to put up and shut up.

The options aren't just let terrorists run through or kill all of their children. There are plenty of other options. As I've posted before we didn't respond to the IRA terrorism by coming into Belfast and killing Catholic kids.

anniegun · 04/03/2026 10:55

I cant believe that people are claiming Iran did this when the US and Israeli bombs are pouring down from the skies.

Again a stupid post. It is not an opinion to think there are more than one way to deal with terrorists. That is a fact.

You haven't answered the question. But that's no surprise because nobody has answered it since 7/10/23. The Israelis acted in defence of their population to get all their hostages back and stop Hamas from repeating the massacres that they openly stated they would commit again.

How bloody arrogant. There are lots of knowledgeable people on here.

tomorrow is never guaranteed, but on the balance of probability Iran is very likely to get a much improved position with a new regime. The past/current one is evil personified. Hopefully there will be arming of the Kurds and the new regime will be far more secular and progressive. Islamism needs to be ousted from the governments of the Middle East and replaced with a more progressive form of Islam and increased secularism within governments. Arming of the Kurds with back up military support is one way to optimise the chances of this happening, what is important that we don’t give up , We need to back up what has been started. The ME as is stands poses a significant risk to the West we need to prioritise neutralising that.

Whenever something awful like this happens, they ALWAYS say it was a failed bomb by the other side. Are you really that gullible?

Do you believe everything the Iran regime says? Are you really that gullible?

The actual Iranians are absolutely dancing with joy that their vicious, murdering oppressive enslavers have been put to death. They love America and are fully behind being freed of their murderous enslavers, the women and girls in particular.

And dont all the lefties hate it!!!

Maybe they have forgotten that Trumps solution to Afghanistan was to install the Taliban. It isn't going great for women there.

Amazing how often the people Israel are bombing fuck out of do their job for them with misfiring missiles and rockets.

FloralDeerPattern · 04/03/2026 11:05

I just watched a video on sky news of premature babies being evacuated from a hospital in Iran that has been hit by Israel/the US. I feel like we've seen this before only at least they were allowed to evacuate the tiny babies in Iran instead of being actively prevented from helping them like in Gaza where Israel left them to die alone.

Schools, hospitals, what's next?

usedtobeaylis · 04/03/2026 11:06

Also amazing how willing people are to pretend that western governments give a single shiny shit about liberating women.

i don’t actually know for sure who did it . No one does . But don’t kid yourself that the US and Israel are innocent. They wouldn’t hesitate to wipe out the lives of Iranian children . If you believe otherwise you are delusional

Why would Israel and the US randomly target innocent children?
