I’m not at all surprised. Iran’s ballistic missiles are not smart weapons, which incidentally also kill innocent civilians in large numbers.

 

All the more reason to wish sense to prevail and both sides step back from all our war.

Iran can step back now by promising to destroy its nuclear capability.

Deflection from your claim

The gunman was a MAGA Trump supporter.

Most likely these people would still be alive today if Trump was not President.

And there would not be rioting in the streets.

And perhaps even Iran and Israel not be going at it.

Gaza would be better off as things have worsened lately.

The share market would be a lot higher.

Tesla share price would be higher.

Jan 6 rioters would still be in prison.

Free trade would be prospering.

 

And the world wouldn’t be laughing at the USA clown show.

Boetler last registered to vote in 2022 as a Republican, how does that make him a MAGA Trump supporter as you claim. Considering its all looking like its to do with his anti abortion beliefs.

The game right now is "quid pro quo."

Israel and Iran punching each other, although the story in Western media will always be, "Israel is destroying Iran without suffering a scratch."  You know, the same media that runs the stories that, "Russia is losing the Ukraine conflict badly." 

The lesson here - you can't trust main-stream media or whatever is coming out from state actors on either side of a conflict.  You have to use multiple independent sources of information to scratch the surface of factual reality.
As the old saying goes, "The first casualty of war is truth." Or believe anything you want.  Truth is fungible. Sadly.

Bat Yam, Israel

"Israel is destroying Iran without suffering a scratch."

What a sick post, its like you are enjoying Israel civilians being targeted by the terrorists. Western media never made that claim why lie about something like that?

in fact they did carry the reports that US officials (Steve Wikoff) said there would also be mass casualty events in Israel too. Israel air defense is good but not perfect.

Never mind, you got a like for your false information, you must be extremely happy.

Jordan and the US have also been helping to knock out the Iranian drones. The facts however are that Iran has been decimated and Israel has complete air superiority to do what it wants there.

That's a very selective history.

 

Iran hates America due to the overthrow of the democratically elected government in the fifties, the unwavering support for Israel and the sanctions imposed by the USA.

Yours is far more selective though, a bit of AI for you.

#Iran claims third Israeli F-35 shot down in 24 hours; “#Tehran will burn,” warns #Israel In a dramatic escalation, Iran claims to have downed a third Israeli F-35 jet in 24 hours. The pilot reportedly ejected, but his fate is unknown. Iranian media say a female pilot from an earlier incident has been captured.

 

Oh the gullible, believing fake Iran media............

IDF denies Iranian state media report claiming Tehran downed pair of Israeli fighter jets
The IDF denies a report by Iran’s state media claiming that the country’s forces downed two Israeli fighter jets and captured a pilot.

“Fake Iranian media,” says Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman. “This news being spread by Iranian media is completely baseless.”

Iran reeling indeed...............

“Where is our air defense?”

Here is a reminder that alongside its strikes on Iran, Israel has been continuing its attacks on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Here is a summary of what’s been happening today in the besieged enclave:

• The Health Ministry reports that 90 people in Gaza have been killed and Israeli strikes have wounded 605 in the past 48 hours.

https://aje.io/sz649c?update=3774474

Things are desperate when you start quoting from the Hamas favourite mouthpiece AJ. State Funded by Qatar.

Even the Palestinian Authority have banned them from Gaza for inciting material.

"At the start of 2025, the Palestinian Authority suspended Qatar's Al Jazeera TV broadcasts from Gaza, claiming it shows "inciting material."

Which Hamas terrorist that works for AJ  wrote this piece that you posted? There is a reason that the PA banned them and nobody uses them here.

Al Jazeera’s Terrorist Ties and the Controversy Over Its Operations

Al Jazeera journalist reportedly moonlights as Hamas commander claims IDF

Israeli Forces Rescue Hostages, Held By Al Jazeera & Palestine Chronicle Journalist

What's was the name of this Hamas Health Ministry official who claimed this and how many of those Palestinians that were killed regardless of the highly suspicious numbers claimed were Hamas?

The beeb doing its usual, quoting anonymous hospital officials as if they are aware of what went on or why these people were killed and  anonymous unverified statements from IDF

Fifteen killed by Israeli fire near Gaza aid site, hospitals say

At least 15 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire as they gathered near an aid distribution centre in central Gaza, hospitals say.

Officials at al-Aqsa and al-Awda hospitals said people were shot by troops near a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is backed by Israel and the US. It is inside the Israeli military's Netzarim Corridor.

The Israeli military said troops fired warning shots at a group they believed posed a potential threat. An aircraft also struck one person who advanced rapidly towards them, it added.

The report states the charges come with a penalty of up to 30 years in prison on each count.

 

I think a few decades in prison would be a fitting sentence, and in the meantime keep him away from all children, including his own.

 

 

Not convicted yet then, aren't you always on about standing up for the full rights of the accused? Yet you've already labeled him.

"Yet another Republican caught committing heinous crimes."

Highly misleading Chomper. One to bookmark from you.

Can you please explain what is dishonest about my post?

 

I’ve linked to a factual report from a reliable and trusted news source.

 

 

As Bendejo points out Republican are continually grandstanding their position on child sexual abuse, imagined and real,  and yet have so many abusers in their own ranks.

 

Discussing this and why abusers might be drawn to and engaged in such messaging is a very valid concern.

 

Is there, for example, a link between being an abuser and projecting that abuse on others?

I do understand it’s not something some wish to discuss.

 

 

I’ve linked to a factual report from a reliable and trusted news source.

 of course you have and ignored his factual history in the mean time

So how did they do once the lefties arrived in Egypt?

BREAKING: Egyptians are physically throwing out the Western leftists who showed up to “march to Gaza.”

This is hilarious.

GHF Update

There’s a lot going, but GHF’s mission is the same: feed Gazans.  I am so pleased that early this morning our team still managed to get food for 2 million meals into Gaza. 

Our aid was the only aid which made it in before the regional security situation forced a temporary pause. We continue to extend our hand to the UN, WFP & others to join us! Why would you boycott us & you have never boycotted Hamas? Let’s do this together.

You seem a bit confused 

 

Yes Israel is not in NATO I never said it was.

 

Yes it is said Iran has enough conventional weapons to wipe Israel off the map.

 

Also maybe it's allies will help out if they are a few missiles short.

Then it goes that "allies" Russia perhaps ? have no ball bearings or washing machines and as such

can't out produce the entirety of NATO ans so Iran is out of luck and doomed...I say let's wait and see.

Not confused at all John, you made a claim about Iran, here it is.

An American security contractor working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says the new aid initiative is plagued with problems and is not properly serving Palestinians.

 

The man — whose op-ed is anonymously published by the far-left Zeteo news site — says he is one of the hundreds of people hired by UG Solutions, one of the two American contractors working with GHF.

 

He says contractors were given very little information and training before being sent into Gaza.

Wow one lone anonymous US GHF member is making some complaints on a far left news site (run by no other than  Mehdi Hasan). He'll be complaining there was no workers union to help him in his complaint next, oh dear. 

He also says:

“If you’re here to get your gun on, then pack your <deleted> and go home, because that’s not what we’re here for. We’re here to help,” he recalls being told during a briefing in Washington before they departed for Israel.

You really don't want GHF to work do you?
