It is worrying, and I have no love for the Iranian regime, but why was Israel allowed to get away with attacking an embassy?
Attacking an embassy is against all forms of international law.
From the headline I’m not sure they have gotten away with it just yet
Wish I had your confidence. They absolutely will get away with it, mainly because of the USA and also that no sane person wants a war between two diehard regimes in Israel and Iran.
Ecuador is in a shitload of trouble over snatching an ex politician from the Mexican embassy. Imagine bombing one.
No shit? Someone will retaliate if you bomb an embassy? How could Israel or the US have predicted this?
I'm afraid this might have been the goal. Their operation in Gaza would immediately sink to the background of the news cycle and there would renewed solidarity with Israel after an attack from Iran.
The U.S. should not be involved with Israel at all. The U.S. gets nothing from our relationship with them. We get no strategic military advantage (only liability). We get no financial benefit (our commerce with them is the same as with anyone else). Our relationship with Israel only strains our relationships with oil-producing neighbors.
Bibi has been abusing the U.S. as his personal bitch as Israel commits genocide and attacks neighbors. It's time to separate ourselves from this toxic, one-sided relationship.
Yeah I'm with you. I don't get it. All I know is foreign policy is complex and I probably don't know enough to effectively weigh in on it. But this seems like a bad stance for the US, which I happen to be part of, to take.
Israel isn't Muslim. That's what the US gets out of it. All those ridiculous Christians leading our nation are so afraid of the 'heathens' that they will support Israel no matter what. It doesn't hurt that there's tons of donations and lobbying involved.
Well that is concerning...
How can we help?
Which side?
