I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?

Edit: never has my indigenous, brown ass received so many DMs with hate, bigotry, and rants about genocide and colonialism from white kids than this year. Without a hint of irony, American hypocrites are trying to lead a movement against war, genocide, racism and colonialism. While you profit from and continue your own atrocities Americans need to get in the back of the line, they are toxic to the movement

I mean, both the United States and Israel were attacked because of Israel.

Israel deserves the blame because Israel is the problem.

If they don't like it, they can always leave. That would make the world a better place.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 6 points 16 hours ago

The US also deserves blame, given the degree they support Israel

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world -3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Americans are blood thirsty war hawks. You guys LOVE the idea of bombing someone you don’t like. Even the American left is like this now. So long as it’s not your country being bombed and getting their just desserts for al their genocide, you love war. But anyone attacks you guys for your centuries of atrocities and suddenly it’s WAR WAR WAR

[–] kayky@thelemmy.club 2 points 18 hours ago

Well, yeah.

Supporting Israel is great for the MIC.

(I hope I don't have to say how I'm not one of the bloodthirsty Americans you're referring to)

You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.

Y’all coming to my continent was a mistake too

Did the video speed up in the end or was the missile?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Those ballistic missiles really haul ass

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.

Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.

In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.

All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.

That's the most telling thing furute generations will look back upon this politicians that enabled such violence just to make some extra buck or a favor? Q

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Well said mate.

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago

It's as if people who follow beliefs from the stone age didn't have a place in the modern world!

Woah, that's nuts. I feel like most missiles don't reach target in Israel. Maybe that's cause most are aimed at Jerusalem and the Iron Dome though?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The slower ones frequently get intercepted, but every time I see one land it is those hypersonic fast ones.

I don't know if anyone has any real information but I'd think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel's ability to hurt Iran. Israel's command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 7 points 21 hours ago

Since Israel bombed the Iranian oil refinery and airport, Iran has started targeting Israeli power plants, ports and other infrastructure.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don't hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized "civilian" zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).

[–] 3abas@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren't really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From I've seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the "Iron Dome" is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.

With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.

From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.

Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can't know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized "civilian" zones.

[–] 3abas@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

Oh for sure, I'm just saying they don't even need to hit any targets and they'd still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can't fight Iran without US.

Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump's main priorities, hopefully they don't succeed in changing his calculus on it.

And they aren't able to and won't be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we've already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

And the numbers are staggering. I forget exactly but those early retaliations for assassination last year that where laughed at expended something like 100s of millions of dollars.

Let's go. Turn them into salt like in the bible

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this the strike from Friday or a new one?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

According to the people who posted it, it is from today. It is certainly not the same barrage as we saw Friday, but it could be another barrage which was on Friday. Nothing is entirely certain right now, but I think it is from today.
