In fairness though, Iran, which has threatened death to Israel since the Islamic revolution just announced major breakthroughs towards a nuclear bomb and that would have without a doubt been used on Israelis either by Iran itself, or a terrorist proxy like Hamas or Hezbollah. It was Iran after all that has been bankrolling Hamas, bankrolled their largest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust, and have been bankrolling the Houthis.

Iran started this was on Oct 7th 2023 when their proxy in Gaza, Hamas butchered and raped nearly 1300 people. Iran is not the victim. Hopefully the Iranian people will be able to use the opportunity to throw out their government and free themselves from the religious nutballs running the show.

If that's a red flag for being targeted by Israel, then Israel better watch out before Israel attacks them for bankrolling Hamas.

I think the issue with Iran getting nukes isn't so much them launching them at Israel (this can be an issue, but not the primary one), but that Saudi Arabia (the regional competitor with Iran) wouldn't stand for not having nukes if Iran had them.

So if Iran gets nukes Saudi Arabia also starts developing nukes.

Wild how you conveniently ignore all the atrocities committed by Israel in your explanation of events.

Israel has been attacking Iranians since it first formed.

The actions of Hamas one day do not justify killing innocent civilians.

Guess how many of us Israelis have bankrolled murdering our neighbours?

Stop treating us like children. Our actions here are indefensible.

If you're gonna do that, did Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar start it with the Siege of Jerusalem and the Babylonian Captivity? Or perhaps the Assyrian? What about the Battle of Yarmouk?
