[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

The Iranians better pray that there is not one Jewish death in this attack.
Please can everyone try to harness their sarcasm for the time being. I understand emotions are high but a lot of what is being posted is not insightful or necessary.
There's a clearer video of it. It looks like the runway of an airbase, I have no idea why. Maybe they thought Israel wouldn't scramble their planes?
they sure arent hitting Israeli interceptors
Must have been hoping Israel wouldn't move their planes.
What is Iran trying to accomplish here? Just saving face with their supporters? Hard to imagine that this will accomplish anything.
Well how about this.
Mossad's headquarters is located behind human shields in Tel Aviv.

Lol this is so transparently stupid, I’d be embarrassed to post it
dont believe your lying eyes
More women and children killed in Gaza by Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year
It's not at all obvious why Israel embedding military facilities in civilian areas isn't exactly the kind of "human shielding" that Arabs are constantly accused of engaging in. It's the 21st century, every nation has military bases that are right next civil infrastructure.
Israel’s war on Lebanon triggers unprecedented displacement crisis
Thousands of others are sleeping in mosques, under bridges and in the streets. But the crisis could get even worse now that Israel has begun a ground offensive.
“A ground invasion will compound the problem,” said Karim Emile Bitar, a professor of international relations at Saint Joseph University in Beirut. “We already have more than one million people who left their homes. That is around the same number we had in 1982, when Israel invaded Lebanon and reached Beirut.”
I'm sure that once that double check for any missed missile launchers in their ground invasion they will wave people back in and patch things up.
they werent aiming for civilians and prioritizing destroying military infrastructure. this is difficult for Westerners to understand due to the way our countries have historically fought wars.
also, I would bet there were a lot of soldier casualties but there is a strict Army censor from the only "liberal democracy free country in the middle east" so they dont report on that stuff. if a civilian was injured it would be a different story.
If Iran had the same callousness Israel does, then it would be a warm as it stands this gives the IDF more excuses for killing civilians
