we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow

No, but we expected Iran to just sit there and absorb a blow.

If Iran doesn't retaliate, or does so barely like the past four times it was attacked, it will be "see, they are weak, let's attack them more."

If Iran does retaliate, it will be "oh my god, they ATTACKED us back! Let's attack them more!!"

This is literally him saying the quiet part out loud. Honestly I'm shocked at the transparency. Essentially, right from the horse's mouth, we attacked because Israel was going to attack them without us, so we felt we had to attack first to blunt the effectiveness of the immediate aftermath.

The question that everyone should be shouting in unison demanding an answer is why? Why can we not just tell them "that's a retarded idea, go ahead without us but we won't participate." I understand that we have many difficult-to-defend bases in the region, but that is an issue in and of itself anyway.

Edit: Obviously Israel has been becoming more and more caustic politically among younger generations. Their unpopularity will only increase as boomers decrease in numbers. Trying to look on the bright side, if the American government wants to even pretend to maintain the facade of giving a shit about the will of the people, this could be it for them. So long as right and left leaning populists can join hands on this one issue.

There is a silver lining. If my boomer evangelical mom can start getting pissed and having her eyes opened, others will as well. The news Marco dropped today helped push her over big time.

That's encouraging. I haven't been able to get a read on the more pro Israel people in my family yet.

I started using screenshots of articles with death toll numbers on my phone over a year ago to sort of red pill friends/family whenever the topic came up. Resistance was low, most felt ashamed (probably) because they didn't actually know the death toll numbers.

This year I rarely even go to my phone. A lot of people are already at "Fuck israel" whenever the topic comes up.

Israel is doing more to damage to its self than anyone else ever could. It's pretty wild.

This is from a comment I posted a while back over here: Even among evangelicals, there is no longer support for Israel

And in another one, that I won't link to here, I explained my methods further:

I save stuff on my phone in a specific folder and just casually insert "check this out" into conversation.

Room full of people: "Aunt Margaret, check this out, it's Gaza in 2020... and this one is Gaza in 2025... Completely gone, like some kind of holocaust or something..."

"Actually israel shot missiles first, unprovoked" (show screenshot of news headline)

"eleven hundred people died on October 7th." (show screenshot) "Here is a screenshot of the death toll of the israeli attacks on Gaza and Palestine..." (at least 50,000 dead in Gaza) "and the 17,000 children israel murdered" (estimates suggest 17,000 dead are minors)

"I read the death toll in Syria from israeli missile strikes and bombings is estimated over 10,000 people now..." (show screenshot of Syria death toll estimates) "...and Syria's population is 10% Christian..." (show screenshot... which is actually from before the 2011 war) "...so that means israel pretty much just bombed at least a thousand Christians... That's not ok with me, that will never be ok with me."

Plus I have a clip video saved of a bunch of israeli tik tokers mocking palestinian war refugees, and another that's just aerial shots of the devastation of Gaza that I show right after. "Neighbors... most of those people witnessed the relentless destruction of Gaza outside their windows, from their balconies, for months. They heard the bombs and felt the buildings crumble. They saw thousands of refugees who lost what little they had walk out of Gaza like an exodus, and they chose to mock them on tik tok anyway."

Make no mistake, I do not support muslims or islam. But letting the suffering of the enemies of my enemy go to waste would be a terrible thing.

They don't need the approval of all of America, only a few dozen Americans in particular.

It's precisely because support will evaporate after the boomers die off that israel is acting so aggressive now. They have to grab as much territory as they can, because in 25 years they're not going to be able to get away with this shit. Young white liberals hate Israel because they believe jews to be 'white colonizers', young white conservatives aren't buying into the 'chosen people' myth like their grandparents have, and young browns are either apathetic or hostile to jews categorically.

So Israel is an out-of-control belligerent, wreaking nonstop havoc on the global stage, and America is for some reason required to clean up their messes.

When does this utterly retarded dynamic end?

Tucker just said that mossad was planting bombs in the Arab states to frame Iran.

Some Saudi oil facilities were blown up. Iran got the blame. Then Iran denied it and said that it would never bomb Saudi Arabia's oil facilities (implicitly as opposed to targets involving the US military).

Most likely, rogue units of the IRGC which have been delegated a lot of authority to hedge against leadership takeout, but in combination with a Washington Post report claiming that MBS was lobbying for an attack on Iran, some have speculated that this was an Israeli strike in an attempt to poison Iranian-Saudi relations.

The Saudis will eventually figure it out. It'll be very bad for Israel if it was them, but this hasn't stopped them before.

If peace in the ME is Israel and Saudis removing Iran, I ain't going to be upset.

No more Iran terrorists, no more infinite defense money for Israel. Saudis and Israel are buddy buddy, so that'll be peaceful enough I think.

peace is an illusion, the jews will create rogue terrorists groups to attack and conqueor weaker arab states (think of syria, lebabon) and then claim they need to pacify them so they bomb them, and occupy their territory

but when it comes to give back the land to the arabs they'll say "nah we need to hold this territory to prevent future terrorism"

that's actually the israeli plan for Lebanon as we speak, they want Hezbollah to maintain legitimacy so they can steal more territory

And then Israel goes after Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and everyone else until Greater Israel is established. But you're not going to be upset because you're either a kike or worse a traitor who would sacrifice his own people for the benefit of a foreign and hostile nation.

Kinda like how Muslims create "peace" by either killing all their enemies or force them to pay to practice their own religions? Yeah, that's working great as well.

If you actually want peace in the middle east, nuke Israel. Every war in the last 50 years over there has been cause by them or their vassals (UK/USA).

If your shithead friend at school tells you he's gonna go beat the shit out of some dude whether you're with him or not, do you go also beat the shit out of that dude so he doesn't come looking for you later, or do you kick your friend to the curb for being a shithead faggot?

Honestly... i hope this does escalate and it does change things for better or worse. We are just a slow train wreck and being slow boiled. We might need things to be really shaken up.

"Well Iran was probably going to attack us or one of our allies someday, and we're not going to just sit there waiting for them to attack first whether it be tomorrow or fifty years from now."
