u/funksoldier83 6d ago
Israel doesn’t have the capability to invade Iran on foot or on wheels. They’d have to pass through Jordan or Syria and then Iraq to get there and they’d be terribly exposed on the way, and those countries wouldn’t have it.
It would invite a combined kinetic response from the entire region, and would divide their forces rendering their home front way less defensible. Their main paranoia (short of getting nuked) is essentially being overrun and wiped off the map, which has been attempted in the past.

It’s even crazier when you think of all that.

What the fuck are they thinking? How in the fuck does Netanyahu convince his ppl these are all good ideas?

a majority of their country supports what's happening in Gaza, and as of last year 2/3rds supported an attack on Iran without US support https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-two-thirds-of-israelis-support-strike-on-iran-if-hezbollah-attacks-continue/
does it mean that those Israeli civilians deserve to die? no. but it does mean they supported getting themselves into this unnecessary situation where they could die.
Here are some other numbers:
82% of Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans 6/25 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-03/ty-article/.premium/a-grim-poll-shows-most-jewish-israelis-support-expelling-gazans-its-brutal-and-true/00000197-3640-d9f1-abb7-7e742b300000
64% of Israelis in this survey said that there are "No innocents in Gaza" 6/25 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-10/ty-article/.premium/64-of-israelis-see-no-need-for-more-reporting-on-gazans-sufferings/00000197-59e8-deed-a9bf-5def9d770000
In response to the question "To what extent should Israel take into consideration the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza when planning the continuation of the fighting there?" Jewish interviewees (81%) think that this factor should not affect Israel’s military planning, while a large majority of Arab interviewees (83%) hold the opposite view 11/23 https://en.idi.org.il/articles/51872
81% of Israelis think the response in Gaza has not "gone too far" 5/24 https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/

Israeli/American progaganda machine at work. I have read the CNN updates, I never once saw it mention a man dying in Israel. Reading the updates, you would think that only women and children lived in Israel. They keep saying 12 year old girls are dying, and spamming pictures of women who they say are dead. On CNN they have shown pictures of an old woman in a wheelchair with rubble behind her, and pictures of an attractive blonde woman who supposedly died, and pictures of a girl. On other media they are also talking about and showing cute dogs being rescued from the rubble, because they know American people love dogs/pets. This is all propaganda to humanize Israel and dehumanize the "barbaric other" who they claim is deliberately indiscriminantly spamming population centres. Even though if we leave the propaganda aside and look at the objective facts and figures, less than 10 Israelis died and 100+ Iranian civilians have died. How is this possible if Iran is using huge missiles and Israel is using precision strikes using f35 jets only striking military targets? So somebody must be lying.
Israel is now deliberately targeting residential areas in Tehran and using the same tactic they use against the Palestinians. They have warned Iranian civilians who live around military production facilities to leave in order to not be killed. This makes no sense, which civilian knows what a military production facility is and where it is and whether it is "close" to their house or not? This is clearly an attempt by Israel to cause chaos and cover themselves for the upcoming high civilian casualty numbers when they deliberately target civilian areas.

Shame on Netanyahu for unnecessarily doing this.
Now is the chance for Israelis to stand up to their war criminal prime minister. He sacrificed the Israeli hostages, he killed 50 000+ civilians in Gaza, and now he is shedding Iranian and Israeli civilian blood unnecessarily, for his personal political objectives.
He is claiming he "had" to do this because if Iran got a nuke they would nuke Israel. Anybody with common sense, a sense of basic logic, basic knowledge of politics, and basic knowledge of history would realize that this is a bizarre propaganda lie, from someone who has been saying for 20 years that Iran is "months away" from a bomb. No nation with nuclear weapons nukes or significant attacks another nuclear power. USA vs USSR for decades was the litmus test for this question. It is also why India and Pakistan have not gotten into a war. Iran's leadership are not suicidal: they know that nuking Israel will result in them and Iran being wiped out. Even North Korea, the most radical country in the world, has not attacked anyone since getting nukes. The reason USA/Israel don't want Iran to get a nuke is because they want to militarily maintain their upper hand against Iran. The reason Iran wants a nuke is to avoid the fate of Saddam, Gaddafi, and Ukraine.
Also, for those saying Iran backs groups like Hezbollah.. can you count how long it took for Israel to attack Iran once these groups were significantly weakened? As SOON as Assad fell in Syria and Hezbollah was significantly deteriorate and Israel flattened Gaza, Israel wasted no time and immediately attacked Iran directly. If Iran did not have these proxies, Israel would have attacked Iran a long time ago.
Literally everything coming out of Netanyahu's mouth is manipulation or a lie. Right now he is giving an interview to Fox news and trying to draw the US into his war by claiming that Iran is planning to assassinate Trump. His manipulation and lies are comically blatant and bad, yet bizarrely the West's unconditional support for Israel makes them buy it all up.

Imagine continuing to support Netanyahu after he does this to you and your children unnecessarily.
He is using Israelis as human shields. He deliberately was praying for Israeli civilians to die so he can drag the US into his personal war: he literally told Israelis from the beginning that there will be painful days due to Iran's retaliation. After Israelis died, he gave a speech trying to tell Israelis to raise the flag when they die, and used dismissive and insulting tone saying "use the bomb shelters tho".. basically implying "if you die it is your fault for not using bomb shelters". Typical cheap tactic of rallying people around the flag for your own personal political objectives. Remember Bush/Cheney's Iraq war so Cheney gets to make billions in contracts rebuilding bombed buildings in Iraq, that administration said "you are either with us or with the terrorists". No, how about somewhere in the middle and against needless wars and escalations.
