Is that based on some intelligence or based on a desire for pre-emptive defence using de-escalation through escalation aka bombing a few civilians in Iran?
IMO, this isn't in the US's interest, but this is a long-term goal of the pro-Israel lobby and Israel and they're likely the ones compelling Genocide Joe right now.
I personally think he's taking tons of naps and Blinken et al are probably steering the ship.
It's already been reported that the Biden admin. exiles dissenters:
People close to the president told Axios they worry about raising concerns in meetings because Biden's group of longtime loyal aides can exile dissenters.
Bear in mind, this is a new age of war, called Transparent Warfare. As we've seen in Ukraine/Russia. They know all each other bases and movements. Everything has to happen and finish fast and scatter.
No it’s the WH trying to lay the ground work for why we have to go to war with Iran.. they are writing the narrative for Israel to be a bully and not pay consequences for their actions in Gaza
Israel just goes around bombing an entire city, killing thousands of civilians and tells the world it has beaten some xyz rebel group and won the war and a good chunk of idiots believe it.
The amount of people who fall for this is crazy lol. They think Israel is some superpower which can take on anyone and everyone. They often fail to take into account that the prime reason why Israel acts like this is because they're a very protected country diplomatically. If there's any criticism, all the major countries of the West come running down to save and defend it.
So why the pager operation then? Why go to such lengths to attack their enemies without harming the surrounding civilians. It was genius and it minimized civilian death/injury while neutering (in some cases literally) Hezbollah's network.
Pagers detonated among general public killing children and innocent people, besides also injuring a lot more people. But yeah, no surrounding civilians harmed, hooray!
Even if that’s true.. you still need someone to fire at that shield?
So Israel is firing at will at operation human shield, hence the many civilian casualties in Gaza but they really really have no other way it can be done..
But also, they minimize the casualties with their pinpoint precision attacks.. by the ‘genius’ intelligence
Which one is it? Either they are genius and are very effective in not hurting civilian life or they can’t differentiate between targets because the enemy is hiding amongst them. Make up your mind people..
Operations like the pagers can only be done once fir obvious reasons. There are rules of engagement and in war it important to try to avoid civilian casualties but it’s your right and duty to destroy your enemy.
So you think Israel is the only country to invent putting a bomb in a phone? The reason no other nation does this is because they’re smart enough to know it’s illegal.
Except these weren't civilians, Hezbollah are terrorists. They're the only ones that got the pagers and received them so they could organize against Israel in the war effort. The example in the link refers to booby traps aimed at civilians.
It’s still illegal for reasons that should be blindingly obvious. What if the CIA decided to mail Anthrax packages to members of Al Qaeda? It’s exactly the same strategy, it would be effective, deadly and targeted. And just as illegal.
civilian to combatant deaths is actually quite low when compared to other wars
Ive seen this being said on other subreddits and yet no evidence supports this point of view. And all the evidence (and common sense) supports the absolute opposite of this. You don’t think Israel would gasp lie about this?
It's why Hamas refuses to count combatants vs civilians in their death counts. Vast majority of the dead are Hamas combatants, but this doesn't suit their campaign to paint Israel as targeting civilians, or the preposterous accusation of genocide.
It is genuinely extremely funny watching them cry antisemitism while the government they keep voting for is actively stating "Hitler wasn't actually such a bad guy."
Israel has nothing to boast about lol. When you have the help of nearly all of the EU, UK and USA, its not as impressive as the Zionists make it out to be.
Give Iran the same level of help, and Israel would've been gone decades ago
The US will not stop Israel to use one or two of its nukes on Iran, which will completely obliterate the country and half of it's population. Iran is very very aware of that, as it should be.
