Summary

Israel destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

The strike significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research and sent a message about Israel’s insight into Iran’s top-secret activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to vote on a censure resolution against Iran for its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

      I’m pretty sure every Jew in the middle east wasn’t murdered in the years between 1948, when Israel was founded and 1966, when it is believed they developed their first nuclear weapon. Despite multiple wars between Israel and other countries in the region.

      Nah, if they didn’t have nukes and US backing (which is likely how they have nukes)…

      Then they wouldn’t act like they’re untouchable and wouldn’t commit so many genocides against neighboring countries…

      Like, what you’re doing is saying the schoolyard bully has to be a bully because no one likes them. Ignoring the fact that the reason no one likes them is they keep beating up smaller kids.

      They can stop being a bully anytime and the situation would improve. Getting mad at the bullied kids because they don’t like the bully makes no logical sense.

      Like, you expect people to just ignore when a different country attacks yours and kills your children?

      That’s just water under the bridge and they should get over it?

      It’s their fault for responding to violence with violence instead of meekly allowing themselves to be exterminated?

      Do you even read what you type?

      Or do you legitimately just not understand what’s happening?

        LOL “commit so many genocides”

        That just shows how meaningless the word is now. I’ll bet you didn’t know that anti-Zionists were accusing Israel of genocide during the 2014 war with Hamas - a war that lasted 6 weeks and had a death toll of a whopping 2300.

        Your perspective on the conflict is totally warped. Israel is not the bully. We’re talking about a tiny country of 9 million people that you can drive across in 3 hours at its widest point. It is surrounded by Arab nations that have tried to destroy it several times, and for the past 30 years has been bullied by the proxies of the genocidal Iranian regime. Iran is the real bully in the Middle East.

          The word genocide has not lost its meaning, you just obviously never understood it.

          It is not about numbers of dead. The world considers the Bosnians to be victims of a genocide, but “only” 8000 people died in Srebrenica.

          The word has lost its meaning now for a lot of people.

          Decades of genocides can make genocide feel normal

          Your comment is a perfect example.
