wurzelgummidge,

If I were Iran I would try and be patient and just let global revulsion against Israel and the US continue to grow.

Unlike israel, Iran actually has the right to defend itself.

Every country has the right to defend itself. It’s the overreacting by committing genocide that’s not a right.

Does Russia have “the right to defend itself” in occupied Ukrainian territories? No.

An occupying power does not have the right to defend itself.

Only Gaza had the right to resist by any means against occupation.

This is international law.

100% this Lemmy instance is funded by Iran. Nothing but propaganda and fake news. 🤣😂🤣😂. Just as bad as the trump tards and Russians.

And by "believe" we mean "want", in the case of Israel.

Netanyahu is attacking Israel's neighbours because he's trying to drag more countries into this mess.

Once that happens, the US will get further involved and the Israeli genocide against Palestinian civilians becomes just one front rather than the focal point.

Mr_Blott,

“Want” in the case of the US too mind you!

What’s a bit of murder if it brings in the 🤑🤑💰💰💰💰

FunkPhenomenon,

lol retaliate how? they’ve got an aging airforce. more terrorism? it’s basically their only option.

wintermute_oregon,

Ballistic and cruise missiles. As I said previously they can’t invade Israel. All they can do is launch missiles Israel.

Oh no, not the consequences of my actions!

How dare they fight back. That’s such an antagonistic thing to do. Don’t they know they’re not allowed to defend themselves.

It reminds me of my own father knocking down the bathroom door and then saying, “Put your hands down. I consider that threatening.”

Garbanzo,

It’s anti semitic to get upset over your embassy getting bombed

They should do nothing. Iran can’t invade Israel. Israel can’t invade Iran If Iran attacks civilians, they risk setting off a larger war in the area. Iran isn’t popular with the Arabs. I suspect they’ll do a small limited attack against something Israeli and call victory. They know if it went to war, they’ll lose.

NoneOfUrBusiness,

Iran isn't popular with Arabs, but they're much more popular than Israel.

The Arabs? What does that mean? That’s like saying all South Americans think collectively and cohesively. Arabs are comprised of vastly different cultures from vastly different regions. There is a lot of nuance and the word is often used as an orientalism.

All the people sharing the same past with those countries have somewhat similar views of them because of their past interactions with each other.

NoneOfUrBusiness,

As an Egyptian, you're overthinking it. Almost all Arabs have a very similar image of Israel because we've seen firsthand (or secondhand from Palestinians) how ridiculously horrible Israel is.

apfelwoiSchoppen,
@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

Fair, and much respect. There is an aspect of centrist-right to far-right western culture that consolidates all Arabs into one group with intent to demonize. It is fairly common.

Rapidcreek,

I would recommend filling your gas tank if you have one

Pistcow,
