I'd be OK with attacking "nuclear, military sites", but from the videos it looks like a load of apartments buildings bombed.
Uh, apartments are small and house parents with their children... aka a nuclear family. So, checkmate, library.
/s (jesus christ it's depressing that's necessary)
You're ok with wars of aggression?
Well it's been going on for about 40 years so far... Military targets are valid targets (and certainly better than carpet bombing civilians, which Israel also do a lot of), and to be clear, Iran are not interested in nuclear for it's clean energy potential.
Nobody wants nuclear proliferation but a religious fundamentalist state (and the US and Pakistan and even North Korea, for all their insanity, at least stop short of that) having them would be Bad Times.
What next you are going to advocate to hit china military target and bring death and destruction to your own country?
God westerners are hypocrites. I'm guessing you still whine about Russia breaking international law even though you're just straight up admitting you don't care about international law at all.
Please don't put that guys opinion on all westeners. Most Danes agree that Israel are way out of line for instance, and our prime minister has officially denounced their behavior in Gaza.
The world is nuanced, and generalizing about large populations of people is never right. When you do that you are putting blame on a lot of innocent people, and demonizing people only makes it harder to work towards a better world.

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250522-denmark-calls-for-maximum-pressure-on-israel-to-lift-aid-restrictions-in-gaza/
Oh they "call for" do they? Are they going to send a strongly worded letter next?
Meanwhile they continue to materially support Israel, and even their token objection is just to ask Israel to let more aid into the blasted killing fields, not to actually stop the genocide.
In the EU we work as a bloc, meaning that we have to agree with the other countries before the policies such as tariffs or similar are changed. Calling for it is how you get that train moving.
Lol. "We were just following orders"
The sexist and homophobic ISLAMIC Republic of Iran sends arms to Russia to aid in their invasion and attempted conquest of Ukraine, and their continued occupation of parts of Ukraine.
I oppose the genocide of Gazans, but Iran's whining about Israel attacking their regime rings a bit hollow for me.
You imposed heavy sanctions on iran because they didn't want to be a western puppet then you wonder why they have to go support russia. What next you will ask to bomb china next and start a world war 3?
The genocidals imperial western power support a terrorist jewish state ruked by extremist occupting palestine for 57 years
Do you support what Russia is doing in Ukraine?
Do you support the ISLAMIC Republic of Iran's sexism and homophobia?
So why grieve when some mullarch or Reactionary Guard leader bites the dust?
Europe was for the most part an antisemitic genocidal shit-hole for Jews before they were arguably dumped in Palestine where they could at least be safe; and the USSR was the first country to recognize Israel.
No I don't unlike you supporting the terrorist state occupation Palestinians for 57 years
No , i support Iranians themselves deal with the regime . I don't support killing Iranians under the pretext of helping democracy
Because the terrorist state of Israel is a genocidal state currently committing a genocide and like to kill the most number of civilians
You are so stupid to think that enforcing a state on local people would make jew safe anywhere that have nothing to do with the holocaust . After Nazism was defeated jews was going to live safe where they was.
I don't support that.
What if some of the dead Iranians actively supported the repression by the ISLAMIC Republic of Iran and/or the Reactionary Guards?
agreed.
FWIW,
wp:June 2025 Israeli strikes on Iran
17:56, 13 June 2025
Per Iran:
78+ killed (unofficial numbers)[1][2]
329+ injured[3][4]
IIUC, Jews in Palestine survived better between 1933 to 1945 than in Europe.
Besides, the British and Turks enforced a state on Palestine before there was a modern Israel.
IIUC, mostly in Communist countries or in Germany where Hitler killed himself only 3 years and a few weeks earlier—I wouldn't fault Jews for thinking that Germany was safe back then—would you?
No you don't.
Even civilians that support the regime do not deserve to die. Your morality is terrible
How do you agree that Israel is a genocidal state when you justify them committing even more crimes in Iran
If you think i support British and turkey occupation you are wrong. Also without the British allowing Zionists to come from Europe Israel wouldn't have occupied Palestinians
Yeah. You're right. I don't—again, I don’t support that.
They don't.
When you are involved in armed struggle, you don't want to hurt the innocents.
When the Allies where shelling the shit out of Berlin in 1945, it's possible that a few hoped for no civilian casualties.
When Israel pops off some Hamas punk, generally many civilians also suffer; and that's in addition to the wanton injury, death, and destruction that they are inflicting on the Gazans (as well as those in the West Bank and Golan). However, if some military or quasi-military supporter of the ISLAMIC Republic of Iran gets blown to bits, and the lady civilian who serves him tea also dies, the latter is tragic, but some might accept it as an acceptable loss. May Allāh regard her with favour.
The allies didn't say they will do a genocide against German unlike Israel. The real point of comparison is Israel being similar to Nazi Germany
You can keep saying the dumb war is hell and collateral damage BS, it doesn't change the fact that israeli intent are very clear about causing harm to civilians. A genocidal state caring about limiting the number of civilians causalities how does that make sense?
Of course it wasn't a genocide: many Germans had blond hair, blue eyes, and fine Aryan features. I'm sure many Allied soldiers were a little sad about killing those handsome young men and beautiful Christian women.
Gaza is different. The victims have darker complexions, speak incomprehensibly, and many are Mohammatens. Talk of genocide is less verboten.
That's probably one reason why the Allies, particularly 70-80 years ago, didn't talk as much about genociding the Germans compared to what Israel is doing to Gaza.
In either case, if you want never to (greatly) risk harming or killing an innocent civilian, then you should probably participate in neither war nor armed struggle.
Yes but you was comparing israel with the allies .
Don't tell any person in occupied land not to fight a war that they didn't chose to but was forced among them
You would tell the same thing to Indian, Tunisian, Algerian etc? You would tell Nat turner to not oppose slave owners?
in regards to shooting Hamas punks and active supporters of the ISLAMIC Republic of Iran.
I don't and wouldn't.
Again, no, but wasn't Gandhi a pacifist?
no. However, FWIW:
wp:Nat Turner's Rebellion
Again Israel is the aggressor like Nazi Germany. Iran and Palestine in this case are the allies not Israel. Before you use the democracy argument i will tell you that many autocratic countries was with the allies
I don't talk about Gandhi . I talk about people like Nana Sahib
Germany was at least a semi-functioning democracy before 1933. Germans suffered neither a Holocaust, nor did they suffer an existential threat. The countries Germany invaded were also at least a semi-functioning democracies as well as that existed for decades, if not centuries. Arguably the Sudetenlander had it better under Czech rule that Nazi-rule. Nazi Germany got its ass handed to them by the allies, and at least 60% of it not only were the better for it. since then, Germany has had decades of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
Palestine was what? Ruled by the British, and before that the Turks, and before that some Arab Caliph? Jews suffered a Holocaust and presumably nobody wanted them: not Europe, not Canada and US, despite having millions of sq km of land stolen from the indigenous, and perhaps neither Asians nor Arabs. Israel's neighbours aren't and weren't democracies. Jews were at best 2nd classed citizens in those countries. Today Israel is at least a semi-functioning democracy. 20% of its population are Arab-speakers.
Israel is an aggressor, but it's far from being like the Nazis.
As for the Allies, yes, the USSR was bad. It's why many post-Soviet countries, particularly Ukraine, never want to be under Kremlin rule again.
So he was a mass murderer. nice.
Israel is the new nazi. https://zionism.wtf/
and Israelis know they don't
some people putting flowers out just after the October massacres totally negates and outweighs years of consistent UN votes, sure, whatever you say.
So Iran and Russia have always voted the same way in the UN?
i didn't say any such thing.
