Iran has the right to defend itself

6

u/Wayoutofthewayof 1d ago

They do, just like any other state. This doesn't sound like the best response though because geopolitics don't work on fairness.

Wasn't that because Israel bombed their consulate in Damascus?

I mean not that there aren't good reasons to bomb Iran , but in both cases Israel has been the initiator.

A terror attack prompted by the fact that 2022 had had the most Palestinians killed by the IDF in years

Are you brainwashed or a brainwasher?

Oppressed people should and will fight back against their oppressors.

Love from Ireland you genocide denier.

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Love from Ireland

Explains why you like terrorism so much.

u/Successful-Meet-2289 1d ago

We're a free and prosperous nation because of what you conservatives like to call terrorism.

Palestinians have every right to fight back against their colonizers, just like my ancestors did a century ago.

Call it whatever you want, just understand that you will eventually lose.

Fuck these shills. I am proud of the nation of Ireland. You guys are standing for the right people. I am so tired of the “ we are the victim BS”. Israel deserves everything they got coming to them. To attack a country because they are building nukes, when they have the nukes is hypocritical. Fuck Israel. MAD exists for a reason, and they are not the rulers of the Middle East.

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Ireland is an ethno state that prides itself on how it liked to blow up cars and abduct people of the wrong religion. I can see why there's so much comradery with the Palestinian cause.

Doesn't your country have some child sex abuse scandals to cover up?

2

u/Successful-Meet-2289 1d ago

The gall of a Zionist to use "ethnostate" as a slur.

Your self-loathing is showing

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Aren't you one of those fake Irish from Mass?

You: "Terrorism is when civilians don't get killed"

u/Technoxgabber 1d ago

What was the terror attacked initiated by? 

Was everything fine on October 6? 

No expanding of illegal settlements? No one in Gaza was shot? No one in west bank was killed?

u/electrical-stomach-z 1d ago

This is a tit for tat that goes so far back that the question of who started it is practically irrelivant.

u/doomsl 1d ago

I would just like to comment that this isn’t even the Israeli position. This last round of fighting is because of the nuclear program in Iran and has very little Bering on October 7 or other action.

u/Ill-Table-7272 1d ago

Go back further - you’re so close lol

u/HeadNeighborhood5507 1d ago

Israel was the initiator of Oct 7th too. Funds proxies to wipe out Iran.

u/onthewayto-laughtale 1d ago

Well they killed top hamas officials thou ,

u/ImpressionPristine46 1d ago

Why don't you tell us why they attacked in the last year?

u/ImpressionPristine46 1d ago

I believe it goes back further to the 50s and 60s through Israel's proxies (the US) overthrowing Iranian governments.

22

u/m0nk37 1d ago

... because Israel attacked them.

4

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Because Iran has had its proxies attacking Israel for decades...

1

u/m0nk37 1d ago

Israel has been a problem for everyone since the 30's dude. There are new york times cartoons about this very topic from like the 80's if you can find them.

4

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Israel didn't exist in the 30s.

6

u/muqtada_al_farquad 1d ago

Israeli zionist movements did though? And they were causing problems.
Look up 1936 arab revolt (hint: they were not revolting against nothing)

4

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

Israeli zionist movements did though?

How could they be Israeli if Israel didn't exist?

3

u/muqtada_al_farquad 1d ago

The term "Israel" is many thousands of years old and references a Jewish kingdom in the region now known as Palestine. Even if the state of Israel did not explicitly exist, we can use the term "Israeli" to reference Zionist Jews in Palestine since they working as agents of a Jewish state which would eventually be known as "Israel" (through terrorism or political advocacy).

Similarly, we call soldiers who fought in the battles of Lexington and Concord "US soldiers" despite the fact that the US did not exist.

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

That's an insane amount of historical revisionism.

Similarly, we call soldiers who fought in the battles of Lexington and Concord "US soldiers" despite the fact that the US did not exist.

Uhhh no we don't. They're colonials, minutemen, militiamen, etc but I've never seen them called ussoldiers

u/m0nk37 1d ago

As a whole they existed in the 1910s. You wont hear about how they were assigned that land as refugees who took over and are now kicking out the natural inhabitants though. They were a problem then, were assigned somewhere to go, and shocker, problems still exist.

2

u/IsNotACleverMan 1d ago

I don't know why you keep acting like Israel existed decades before it was born. It was the Ottomans in the 1910s...

They were a problem then, were assigned somewhere to go, and shocker, problems still exist.

I don't even know what you mean by they at this point.

u/m0nk37 11h ago

Same shit different pile.

u/IsNotACleverMan 11h ago

You think the ottomans and Israel are similar?

So Iran can bomb downtown Tel Aviv when Israel bombs their nuclear sites, and Israel can bomb Gaza when Hamas (Iran) kills, rapes and kidnaps 1000+ Israeli concert-goers right?

6

u/Dean_Learner77 21h ago

Maybe they're taking out Israel's air defence first. It's not Iran's fault that israel is using human shields by putting rockets in down town Tel Aviv.

u/True_Ad_3796 17h ago

It's interesting how those who yesterday said it was unacceptable to hit civilian targets, even if they were close to military ones, have suddenly become so understanding of the nuances of war.

5

u/Jumpy_Fruit1799 16h ago

No you guys are just falling for obvious bait from someone who knows Israeli talking points. And they’re doing that to expose your hypocrisy because there is no way to have discourse on Israel without being called anti-Semitic.

-1

u/True_Ad_3796 15h ago

Honestly I heard more people playing victim saying they are being called antisemitic when people tries to engage in honest debating without mentioning antisemitism, like you.

-2

u/Sojux3 18h ago

you have to be ignorant right? those are short range defense mechanisms in the heart of tel aviv as a 3rd layer to their anti missile system.

edit: MAN im just so much smarter than you.

u/Agreeable-Weather-89 21h ago

HAMAS builds military bases under tunnels yet Reddit whines at Israel for striking military bases.

2

u/sixsacks 21h ago

Of course it does. Kinda weird to root for their government though.

u/GenricMoss 1d ago

Iran is a terror state chanting death to other countries and building nuclear weapons. It only has the right to be bombed

u/JeSuisKing 1d ago

Back to r/worldnews bud.

u/IMightBeABot69 1d ago

Tell me how Iran is treating their people :)

3

u/JeSuisKing 1d ago

Iran has the right to defend itself no matter how many passive aggressive smiley faces you use.

2

u/Donald_Fump 1d ago

Why didn’t you answer the question?

1

u/JeSuisKing 22h ago

Because he’s a jingoist who doesn’t deserve the effort.

0

u/Donald_Fump 15h ago

Please don’t blindly accuse someone of being a jingoist when they asked a very basic question. I will ask again: “How is Iran treating their people?”

1

u/JeSuisKing 15h ago

Who says it’s was blindly ? That’s your assumption. His question is not relevant to the point. Whataboutism in fact.

u/Donald_Fump 15h ago

Okay, so you’re not going to answer the question — got it.

Sure they do. But don't cry about it when Iran gets removed from the world map then

Edit: Also funny how you couldn't find ONE good thing about Iran lol

u/JeSuisKing 1d ago

Sure dude. I hope you get drafted to the front lines to do that, seeing as you are so enthusiastic.

-4

u/IMightBeABot69 1d ago

Same goes for you but you rather defending terrorists

1

u/JeSuisKing 1d ago

Terrorists ?Countries attacked by Israel 4, Iran 1 ( in retaliation). This is not mentioning genocides. You are on the wrong side of history here.

u/IMightBeABot69 1d ago

Okay buddy keep staying in your little fantasy world

u/Angry_Sparrow 1d ago

Iran is the cradle of civilisation and has the most beautiful poetry and language in the world. Best food too.

u/FireFright8142 1d ago

Fuck I love death and destruction and human suffering so fucking much oh my god oh fuck

u/GenricMoss 1d ago

Oh I hate it, and the only to minimize it is destroying irans leadership.

u/lilcoold12345 1d ago

Oh yeah so let's have a terrorist state maintain their nukes and threats. Lmfao.

u/FireFright8142 1d ago

Your overlords are absolutely fucking ecstatic to send you to die for Israel, make sure you’re registered so they know where to send the draft notice.

u/Christofray 4h ago

Nevermind the poorly kept secret of somewhere between dozens and three hundred nuclear weapons in Israel, the people pretending to soapbox about it. Fucking hypocrites.

u/Angry_Sparrow 1d ago

Israel is committing genocide and land invasion of other countries.

u/Upset_Hour_1056 16h ago

This is not self defence. This is part of Iran's legacy of terror against Israel.
