"Acabo de bombardejar il•legalment un altre estat sobirà, saltant-me qualsevol normativa internacional. He llençat un piló de BOMBES i els iranians s'han quedat grogui, hahaha. Ara és temps per a la pau."
Benjamín #Netanyahu ve finalmente recompensada toda una vida de esfuerzos: tras intentarlo con cuatro presidentes (sin éxito) finalmente #EEUU🇺🇸 ha bombardeado #Irán🇮🇷 por él.
No sé si somos conscientes de lo JODIDAMENTE grave que es esto. Es un presidente estadounidense bombardeando otro país contra el que no está en guerra sin ninguna excusa oficial y sin permiso del Congreso. Son dos países (#Israel🇮🇱 y EE UU) bombardeando instalaciones nucleares.
El presidente de EE UU informa de que los objetivos de los bombardeos fueron las bases de Fordow, Natanz e Isfahán: “No hay ejército en el mundo que podría haber hecho lo que hicimos esta noche”
Y, de nuevo, la única forma de que Irán deje de querer el arma nuclear es que haya un Gobierno que no la quiera. ¿Y quién no la va a querer después de lo que ha pasado hoy? ¿Qué otros países no la querrán?
es increíble... Siglo XXI y sigue la lucha de ego a pesar de saber cómo acaba. Esta gente tendría que ir al frente a "luchar" en vez de mandar a sus soldados, así seguro que se pensarían mejor cada paso
Alexei Pushkov, Chairman of the Russian Federation Council's Information Policy Committee, said that the American Civil War has already begun, and that the United States has entered a latent, low-intensity civil war.

I wouldn't get involved with someone deeply religious. I'd consider someone religious if they were sufficiently wishy-washy about it, though, e.g. people who are christian and believe in it at least enough to not call themselves atheists or agnostics but don't really DO anything christian.
That's potentially included in wishy-washy christianity. The important part is how they act on it. Though it certainly mystifies me how you can believe in that stuff and then act as if it doesn't, but that's kinda how people roll in my parts ...
I'm an atheist. I dated a woman once who believed in spirits. I think she experienced night terrors among other things and interpreted them as supernatural phenomena. It didn't cause problems then but I was a lot younger and I think now I'm less tolerant of that sort of thing. But who knows - I was crazy about her so maybe if I meet a woman I'm crazy about like that again then I'll tolerate anything.
More recently I've dated people who believe in a vague sort of life after death but never someone who practiced any religion. I think I would immediately rule out practicing religious people if I were going through a list (as when dating online) but if I met someone in person, really liked her, and then found out she was religious then I'm not sure what I would do. It would definitely be off-putting.
The problem for me isn't the lifestyle differences but rather my impression that religious people are missing the point about the basic nature of existence, when it really should be obvious. It makes me feel like I'm patronizing them, because to be frank I don't tend to think of them as my intellectual equals. (And I know that makes me sound like a pompous jerk.)
Yea I kinda get the same feeling. Although for a lot of people their religion does not preclude the acceptation/understanding of a physical world, it's a more of set of rites that they inherited and that's part of their identity. There's plenty of religious people who are scientists. For some, I imagine it may be difficult to reconcile.
I know that there are religious scientists and I think humans often compartmentalize beliefs in such a way that their belief about the supernatural doesn't affect their assessment of real-world situations. I'll even go further and say that often it seems like their belief affects their behavior much less than it logically ought to, with some (but not all) people who apparently sincerely believe in an all-seeing God and an afterlife still acting just like atheists in relevant situations. In this context, the fanatics are sometimes technically the more rational ones - I disagree with their premises, but their actions make sense if those premises are considered true.
I think people's behavior is determined much more by social conventions and the expectations of their community (in addition to pragmatic self-interest) than it is by logical reasoning. I'll risk being the preachy vegetarian by discussing people's attitudes towards eating meat. Most people sincerely believe that cruelty to animals is wrong, and also that factory farming (if not all killing) is cruel. Yet they eat meat. I even know some people who started eating meat again after being ethical vegetarians. Did they change their minds about whether or not harming animals is bad? No. If pressed, they feel guilty but they don't like to talk about it. The reason they're eating meat is because it's convenient and almost everyone expects them to, not because they reasoned from first principles. Likewise with religion - if no one else is giving everything away to the poor and everyone will think you're crazy if you do rather than praising you, you're not going to give everything away to the poor even if it would make sense to do so given what you believe.
Edit: Kidney donation is another example. I met a woman once who donated a kidney to a friend of her mother's. This person wasn't someone particularly dear to her, but she found out that he needed a kidney to live and she gave him hers. I think that what she did is commendable, but I still have both my kidneys. This is despite the fact that I sincerely believe that if, for example, I saw a drowning child then I would risk my life to save him. People would think I was a hero if I saved the child, or that I was a coward if I didn't try. Meanwhile almost everyone I know would think I went crazy if I donated a kidney to a stranger. My relatives would be extremely worried, and they would try to talk me out of it. I'm not going to do something difficult, painful, and (to an extent) dangerous when everyone I know would disapprove, even if in principle I think risking my life to save another's is a good thing to do.
I think your ideas here go into the right direction, but the confusing part for me is that many of the christians I know are so far below what you'd expect from a christian in these parts (which is already very little) - it's not that they don't give everything away to the poor, they're doing (as far as I can tell) nothing - they don't pray, they don't go to church, and they don't adhere to any of what the bible says they should do beyond maybe basic Golden Rule stuff. And it's not even like most families would make a big deal out of it if you left the faith or even became fully atheist. Most do pay the church tax, though, which is about 1% of your gross income.
Palestine Action to be added to list of proscribed groups alongside ISIS and al-Qaeda - for trying to stop mass murder of Palestinians
UK's Home Secretary Yvette Cooper plans to ban - or 'proscribe' the Palestine Action (PA) anti-genocide group over the summer, according to the BBC. The move will mean PA is treated as a terrorist organisation, listed alongside the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda - and membership of, or support for, the group will become illegal.
Do non military personnel (as in citzens) have any legal avenues in the ICC to sue israel for war or other crimes. Or perhaps sue the UK for being accessory to those crimes.
@zleap Germany used to have this in their code of conduct but I don't think they cover crimes of Israel or US or other NATO nations, much less their own these days.
@zleap if they win here first. we'll see. i don't think they've got it. they will cause untold pain and damage to iran. but the ir and the iranian people will come out on top.
these are the people who couldn't beat the taliban. now they're up against the entire resistance. shit for brains president and prime minister don't know what they got themselves into.
I agree, however Starmer was sidelined the other day so the UK is clearly not seen as a very 'good' ally by Trump, however the UKs idea of security is a total joke.
Boats still coming over daily Memembers of Palestinian action just walked or rode in to RAF Brise Norton and spray painted on a RAF refuling plane.
Note: Brise Norton back in the 80s held the US Nuclear missiles
The Government response is to ban the group, duh that won't stop people, armed guards on the entrance and perimeter of the base, with the power and ORDER to either shoot or detain anyone entering.
But we won't do that.
The UK is pathetic, which could be a reason Trump sidelined us, Trump is also dismissing the EU with regard to negotiations, this suggests that all this a huge ego trip for Trump rather than a genuine attempt to bring about peace and lasting change.
@benda @zleap even if the USA looses against Iran, they will clamp down on Latin America. The US may fall as a world power, but that doesn't mean they'll stop being a regional power. American Imperialism will try to reinforce their control over "their backyard", I fear a new period of coups and interventions. Mexico's security priorities are aligned with this goal (as the saying goes, "Mexico es el muro de Trump", Mexico is Trump's border wall).
@argumento @zleap god willing, the latin american resistance comes together as well. against their own puppet leaders and together against the so called u.s.
@benda @zleap inshallah. But the resistance can't be just in Latin America,we need a revolution in the US, a process that expands trough the continent.
If you can over throw the current regime and install a sensible government who is firm and fair this will go some way to bring anout change.
You cannot have open borders, but at the same time why do people seek to enter the US?, if you had better equality then there would be little need for economic migration, other than for say skill sharing, there would be little reason for refugees, again as there is equality in wealth.
You need to bring people in to take up certain jobs, so make this easier for people to do so, with the right visa you get afforded rights, (you may need to sort out better worker rights and unions though) So there are proper benefits to proper channels
At the same time, you cannot have people with criminal records coming, (and you certainly can't have people who have committed crime, esp serious crime as your president) so a proper robust immigration system is needed. That not only protects US citizens but ALSO protects other migrants and that includes from each other. Leave your problems at the border.
There needs to be a revolution yes, but not just against trump but big tech and social media giants who spread mis information and lies.
@zleap @argumento @benda Undocumented immigrants have helped most western countries to have a comfortable and functioning economy, something that they refuse to admit, but US is starting to feel the consequences of it and will see massive drop in labour intensive products and significantly higher prices.
@zleap @argumento from a politcal/electoral/campaigning position you aren't wrong. and one party does campaign in such a manner. neither one delivers. we need a singular issue to bring the vast majority of americans together on and its not a small task. that issue is either anti-war or anti-billionaire/corporation. and even then, they will politically or literally assassinate the candidate/group that makes any inroads with such a message.
@zleap @argumento the american empire is rotten to its core. its founded on the genocide of one people and the enslaving of another. followed by a few centuries more of that all over the world. we inspired the nazis with our border policies and jim crow laws. we're backing today's nazis. the system is sick. the electoral system doesn't leave room for the change that's necessary. unfortunately.
Most people in the US now apparently get their news from social media, this would be fine if you can guarentee the quality of the news feed(s) which you can't, couple that with AI generated articles, which as we have discussed on here, us usually not of a very good stanard.
If you add in a lack of education in terms of being able to think, apply critical thinking to things, and seeking out several news narratives, and forming better conclusions (all of which takes efforts)
Billionaires need to maintain the status quo to remain in power, they can do that my manipulating news feeds, and taking data to generate advertising revenue,
They also need to help politics maintain the status quo so nothing then changes, as you said voted in to power then not actually DO anything.
So unless people realise what is going on, and also get there is a better way of doing things, nothing is going to change, demanding another election to vote in another party who will also fail and the cycle will start again.
Even with Cambridge Analytica and other well noted breaches of data, nothing has shifted people away from Meta platforms.
I just hope the EU goes through with the massive fine for the various breaches Meta have been found to be guilty of, and follows through with enforcement.
Ideally they can put the money in to the EU developing alternatives to US corporate solutions. We need that as the UK / EU is being isolated by Trump.
@zleap @argumento yeah that kind of thing is real. if its not too late. if a significant portion of the strong economies boycott the u.s., then there could be change. but unfortunately, i think the issues of israel and russia will keep those states (the gov'ts) from pursuing that. it would have to be up to the people to take and fund the initiatives.
@benda @zleap @argumento Don't count on it. Iraq invasion and 4.5 million deaths didn't change the minds of the general public.
This will be forgotten very very soon and Hollywood will make a movie about the heroic act American air force saving the world from nuclear anhiliation.
@jollycooperation @zleap honestly at this point israel should cease attacks, at which point the Iranians would do the same. the problem is that now it is about ego and about palestine. netanyhu cant stand the thought of admitting defeat. and even if he could, the immediate aftermath of this conflict must address palestine and the expedited genocide that has occurred since they attacked Iran.

#IAEA: "No increase in radioactivity" from the bombings in #Iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that, so far, there have been no reports of increased levels of off-site radiation following the #US bombings of Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.
US supposedly , attack nuclear facilities. So either they weren't nukes there or they just didn't hit them enough. Take your pick. 😂🤣😂
@benda We all knew. Pentagon brass kept repeating to the politicians that they weren't going to accomplish anything with those stupid buster bunker bombs.
These weapons failed even in the tests. It's another marketing ploy.
exactly. trump wants out of this situation. netanyahu is going to try to rope him in. we'll see what he does then. but this was not a declaration of war. this is for the tweets.
Así que el saco de 💩💩💩 de #Trump ha bombardeado (oficialmente,claro) #iran Y El otro saco de 💩💩💩 de #Netanyahu lo felicita. Y ahora a esperar a ver si Iran decide algo peor.
Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.
@disisdeguey Given the current condition of #Palestinians after 5 months of this administration, the "blabla4genocide" argument strikes me for its careless disregard for the Palestinian people.
@disisdeguey Not on this scale they weren't. You hit that fastforward button, you got what everyone told you you'd get. You chose the greater evil. You won. Get over it. @Strandjunker
@BenAveling @disisdeguey nobody said they voted for trump, they just said they don't support the Democrats, you're twisting the narrative. People want to hold them responsible for actively supporting genocide. You can't blame your way out of the democrats running on a loser platform that is pro genocide and unpopular, you lost. Get over it and hold *everyone* accountable to make things better.
@BenAveling @disisdeguey so we can hold you personally responsible for all the horrible things Democrats make and let happen if they get elected again as well or does the hypocrisy only flow one way with you? Also I'm European mate, I can't vote in your elections.
I’m not American either. But, much as you are trying to persuade ppl to let Trump win, I am trying to persuade ppl to oppose Trump, even if that means voting Democrat. So yes, if the Democrats get back in and if they turn out to be worse than Trump, you may in some small measure blame me. @disisdeguey @Strandjunker @GLaDTheresCake
@BenAveling @GLaDTheresCake The point is that Democrats are also like Republicans. There's no difference. Obama was a war criminal as much as it was Bush sr of Jr. And we don't need democrats to win again to demostrate how sweet or not they are, BIDEN (a so called Zionist himself) helped to kill thousands of Palestinians. WE WATCHED LIVE. #donaldtacotrump it's just the continuity of #USrael policy in the last 100 years. The real terrorists disguised as "saviors" The only hope is that US empire falls once and for all, soon.
@GLaDTheresCake @BenAveling @disisdeguey Good thing you didn’t vote for the genociding Democrats, the other candidate won and all the genociding is fixed now.
@MisuseCase @GLaDTheresCake @BenAveling This is the problem you still thinking in Black or white as an spectrum. They lied to you, both of them. The #USrael is not a democracy per se. Welcome to the Red pill side.
@disisdeguey While we definitely were not doing enough to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza, it is disingenous to say that we were the ones doing the actual bombing. Yes, we sold them the bombs but that has been US policy for years now. Neither Harris nor Biden told Netanyahu to bomb civilians> He takes full blame. But noth Harris and Biden could have spoken up more for the rights of the Palestinians. No doubt about that.
Of course now we have another distraction so we can forget about it...
@BluesHarp You really live in denial, though. #USrael bombed #Gaza WITH US bombs, soldiers on land (you already forgot Gaza's harbour) there are witnesses talking about US soldiers shooting civilians. I mean, stop believing propaganda/hasbara. Your government LIES ALL THE F....ING TIME. I rest my case and now move on.
@disisdeguey LOL. You rest your case based on lies? Interesting. Hate to tell you this but there are no US soldiers in Gaza and you have also provided zero proof that there are.
@contrasocial @disisdeguey The point is making what's possible to avoid ADDITIONAL victims and suffering WRT what's already going on. Trump's victory brought nothing good for the Palestinians, and we now have war in Iran, migrants being disappeared in the USA, LGBTQ rights being maimed, poor people in the USA losing that minimal welfare they relied upon and counting. Maybe more wars to come all over the world. We may disagree on this, of course, but both PoVs deserve respect.
@contrasocial @disisdeguey That's not the point I'm making. If someone argues that a Dem administration would have not moved war to Iran (at least not under the current conditions), what's the point of bringing out that Dems and GOPs had the same stance about Palestine? It's exploiting the suffering of the Palestinians to prop up a political agenda re the USA. Or to claim one's own ethical purity, which is even worse, like "who cares about Iran war victims, I was right on Nov 6th"
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran.”
#Mondoweiss | The Jewish supremacy at the heart of the Zionist project
'In 2018, the Knesset passed the Jewish Nation-State Law, which articulated very clearly that Israel was the nation-state of the Jewish people alone and, by implication, not of all its citizens (i.e. Palestinian “citizens” of Israel). The Jewish Nation-State Law is merely a clearer articulation of Israel’s founding structure. Despite this, most American Jews remain steadfast in their position that Israel is the “only democracy in the Middle East.”'
Ideas of Jewish supremacy have been central to the Zionist movement from its beginning. Just as we call out white supremacy in the United States, we must call out Jewish supremacy in occupied Palestine.

I was using Reddit is fun and when the killed the API I came here but still occasionally checked the Reddit app. Can't remember what exactly put me over the edge but it was something about ads on the app I couldn't handle anyone.
oh this is interesting. there have definitely been malfunctions in the sirens before, but absolutely none when haifa is getting hit 20 times over? sounds like israel really needs 8200 right now.
I consider the Iranian missile retaliation unnecessary. I don't understand why they would carry out a few strikes in the surrounding areas, when by closing #Hormuz themselves and the #Houthis closing #Suez, they can bring the entire West to its knees in a week. Money is more valuable than human lives to the western clowns
yeah, iran won't react "to" the u.s. they're just going to finish off the military colony tonight. 4 waves so far in the last hour or so. 20 hits just in haifa alone.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: Trump Confirms U.S. Bombed Iran's Nuclear Sites | Full Coverage & AnalysisIn a dramatic escalation, former U.S. President Donald Trump has...
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – United Nations experts and special rapporteurs have unequivocally condemned the recent Israeli military attacks against Iran, saying the Zionist regime is posing a threat to peace and security in the region and beyond.
In an age marked by conflicts, disease, dysfunction and mental health challenges, yoga offers a steady, time-trusted path to help find calm and harmony within – and without.
He is such an odious, reactionary individual, and utter traitor to the people of the UK, siding as he's chosen to do with international elite neoliberal interests.
Talking about the recent news between Iran and Israel...Giving proper context to the conflict with the history of Iran, Anglo-Iranian Oil (British Petroleum), 1979 and more.
Atlas Bullion 💰 For Gold & Silver Coins, Bars, and Physical Subscriptions …
Trump has volunteered the US military as an instrument for Israel, a genocidal foreign colonial implant, to attack a sovereign country that posed no threat to the US
Trump did so in violation of the Constitution and against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the American public
Trump allowed Israel to exploit American diplomacy as a ruse and made no effort to explain the logic of going to war to the American public
Trump even ended his speech announcing the attacks by declaring, “god bless Israel”
So now it is clear and beyond debate: we live under a Zionist regime that hates us and which will sacrifice us for its ethnosupremacist agenda
seriously though unless you actually NEED the size constraint, get an e-waste tier laptop and put debian on it instead of buying a single board computer. there's a bajillion windows 8.1 lappies going into landfill every second that you could turn into funny little servers
I wanted a single board computer for a simple home servers when passive cooling was still good enough, but nowadays even those have these annoying little fans and getting one + case + cooler costs like 3 times the price of what I paid for my raspberry Pi 3 back in the day
Laptops are not generally designed to run like that with a closed lid. Heat dissipation is designed around the idea the laptop is open and some of it is through the keyboard surface. The lid closed would change that.
Systems can of course be setup to power off the display but for server/service uses open laptops may not be efficient space wise.
Having said that if the scenario is low power use the heat dissipation may not be a major issue. But if there is an unremovable battery i'd still be concerned about heat dissipation with the lid closed and even just the battery itself regardless of heat dissipiation.

10:42 Israel has targeted three hospitals and six ambulances so far, Iran's Health Minister Mohammadreza Zafarghandi said. english.masirahtv.net/news/358…
…but here are some options from a foreign-policy standpoint as laid out by The Atlantic. Seems a reasonable summary to me.
What it completely leaves out is that this is a direct violation of the War Powers Act, the UN Charter (to which the US is signatory), and even the National Security Act. I guess that’s not important anymore.
Correctly, there are calls for impeachment tonight from outside and within Congress. I suggest you write whoever you’ve got up there to do the same. But I do not expect it to go anywhere; I am absolutely confident the MAGAts will find a way to justify their 100% spin on the “peace president” and why bombing Iran – an absolute act of war – is just fine and all the more reason to worship their shit-stain incarnate God Emperor.

To be very clear, the enrichment sites bombed by the US and Israel in Iran will more than likely not cause a release of radiation into the atmosphere or even local population centers.
Following recent bombings the IAEA already reported only contamination WITHIN the facilities, and that most of their concern was chemical.
Whatever radiological impact will occur will be infinitely eclipsed by the deaths a follow-on war will cause. Let's focus our energy on preventing that.
This is, of course, just an educated hypothesis. I am more convinced of it following the recent statements by the IAEA whose findings support it, but things are still quite uncertain.
I am not posting this for clout, for followers, for anything other than what I think is my responsibility as a scientist: to use my background and my education to inform others as deeply, clearly, and accurately as possible.
You have invested in public education and nuclear science, and I owe this to you.
"Three nuclear sites, including Fordow, had been evacuated some time ago and our enriched uranium stockpile was moved away from these locations, so there is no risk of radiation leakage."
good point, and war is far more dangerous. That said, still very much not a fan of radioactive death chasms. Good to know it’s less likely to put that stuff in the air or local area though.
Thomas Keith: Iranian sources now confirm Fordow is intact. Only 2 munitions struck surface-level access points. No deep-penetration, no cascade collapse, no reactor kill.
Fordow was built to withstand nuclear war. A single flyby doesn’t erase hardened bunkers buried 80 meters deep behind reinforced mountain rock.
This wasn’t a successful strike. It was a narrative op. Aimed at markets, voters, and momentum. But the physics of Fordow don’t bend to spin. @iranx.com/iwasnevrhere_/status/193…
The US is sending a clear message to any country without a nuke, that they better get their shit together and develop a nuke in order to avoid being bombed
TEHRAN, Jun. 22 (MNA) – IRGC says 14 strategic Israeli targets in Haifa and Tel Aviv were hit in the last wave of punitive Iranian strikes, which he called one of the most successful since Iran began pounding the Israeli-occupied territories.

From what I read, the strikes against Fordow were largely unsuccessful, with no damage to the actual installations. Similar can be said about Natanz and Isfahan. So this was an attack with limited to no success, that will put #Iran in a situation where they HAVE to respond. This response can easily trigger an open war, maybe even a war declaration (the only thing the Democrats are complaining about).
@benda I think they will, they have been saying for ages that they'll attack US military bases in the region if the US attacks their nuclear industry. If they don't respond they won't be taken seriously again. They need to establish deterrence.
eh yes and no. my read is they know they have deterrence and its as effective as it can be given the circumstance. trump wanted to bomb something to say he bombed something, to say the nuclear plants are gone so no need for anything, f the negotiations, no war unless they hit us. the iranians are very nonchalant about the whole situation from everything im seeing so far. its not a big deal. the plants were 1) evacuated, 2)all radioactive material removed and 3)barely damaged anyways. in their own words "no irreversible damage".
now, the war with israel is the war with israel. they launched another barrage just a couple minutes ago. israel must surrender or be destroyed. so the only question is if trump will feel he has to enter to defend israel. bc tonight, he signaled that he really doesnt want to go in. (obviously the entire u.s. gov't apparatus does, so im not saying he cant be pressured. but it wont be his preferred path).
@CosmickTrigger such things arent so simple. this is a war between iran, whateevr resistance is left, and the biggest army in the fucking world. if you're not willing to take a small hit without going kamikazee, you already lost the war. iran has made it this far since the revolution by being smart, measured, strategic. unlike the u.s. . they see trump's political weakness over this issue. the whole world sees israel's weakness bc of the genocide. iran *will not* hit back at the u.s. over this. the war with israel continues though. thats different. and if trump still gets pulled in bc of that... thats up to the american public. its the will of the people versus the lobbyists, and donors.
@CosmickTrigger i mean in the end it might happen. but not over this. israel is going to take a pounding, which has already begun on... if that makes you feel better? that might force trump in eventually, but after tonight, i genuinely believe he does not want to get involved.

@CosmickTrigger @benda Don't be sad, look at the videos coming out of Tel Aviv, you'll feel better.
LOL
Now, seriously, indeed the American attack was very limited in its impact, and there's a reason to think that Iran won't respond. Back when Trump murdered Gral. Soleimani, Iran bombed a US base in Iraq as response, but let the Americans know beforehand so the base was empty when the missiles stroke. It was a negotiated theater so Iran woludn't loose face. But I don't think it'll be the case.
@CosmickTrigger i think they wont hit u.s. over it. iran really only hasa few cards in this whole situation. inflicting massive damage quickly or slowly, against israel, and/or the u.s. the u.s. is almost certainly suicide. it is a deterrent. its the final deterrent to defend the state. the bee's sting. but they cant back down from israel. bc thats a fair fight and its a matter of honor. with respect to Israel, CosmickTrigger's crude analogy is more appropriate. there is no reason to stop hitting israel until they surrender and stop the genocide.
