I'm sorry but I have to point out how 1984 doublespeak this situation is right now

as Israel pounds civilian areas in Lebanon https://x.com/ALJADEEDNEWS/status/1841288430858145804 with no regard for civilian life, claiming they were all "human shields"

and as Iran launches precise strikes with small explosions on military targets https://x.com/WarMonitors/status/1841170806187180212

CNN complains that Mossad HQ is surrounded by civilians https://x.com/SarkastikB/status/1841168009177468992

... why doesn't he say that Israel is using civilians as human shields to protect Mossad HQ?

It is pure fucking willful blindness and hypocracy, wildly obvious and insane to the degree that I cannot for the life of me understand how some people on nostr still think Israel makes a good case for itself.

Iran is not killing civilians. Hezbollah wasn't killing civilians (they were depeating the Iron Dome and hitting sensor arrays). Israel is slaughtering civilians, taking out city blocks. If there is such a thing as good and evil, it is patently clear which one is evil.

Well, maybe both are evil? Iranian missiles also killed civilians. And both actions don't justify to obliterate nations or blow up the world in nuclear Armageddon but somehow that feels like it's right around the corner.

we must indeed consider the possibility both sides are evil.

as well the possibility that you're a fucking idiot.

Did they now?

I'm not going to pretend Iran is a good country without serious serious problems. Maybe they killed civilians. But I heard from an Israeli news source that only 2 people had minor injuries from Iran's attack. Did that get updated?

Iran clearly is trying to do the most limited response it can under Article 51. It cannot just be attacked and not respond, that is military suicide. Buit it doesn't want a war. It wants friendly relationship with the USA. It wants a new nuclear deal and sanctions lifted. Netanyahu is determined to scuttle anything like that.

Also, if the USA is not responsible for the military actions of Ukraine, then Iran is not responsible for the military actions of Hezbollah.
