      Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon calls on Security Council to stand by his country. “This is a moment to make moral decisions. Stand by Israel - or you will be partners in a dangerous silence", He said.

      That’s a threat not a warning

        Israel is threatening nuclear Holocaust for the entire world if you do not support their genocidal warmongering. Which will likely end in nuclear genocide. That’s what I’m seeing here. Fucking great. Awesome. Love that for us.

          Everyone keep in mind, Israel would rather destroy the entire planet with nukes than lose their sovereignty as a state.

          Zionists are scum and not meant to be trusted or reasoned with.

          You know how it’s okay to punch Nazis? We can add Zionists to that list as well. They are both equally shit and should be treated accordingly.

          This is all part of the very real Evangelical/Zionist rapture prophecy. Israel and all our western leaders are literally trying to bring about the apocalypse, they want it with religious furvor, so yes a nuclear genocide is to be expected from these people.

        The moral decision is blindingly obvious and it’s not to threaten nuclear war to shield your rabid pit bull of an ally from retaliation, motherfucker.

      Yeah this isn’t a small strike. They went after the leaders of Iran and their nuclear sites all at once.

          To be clear, FUCK Israel-

          but if you’re going to do this, this is the way to do it. War is hell, and the objective should be to do whatever is necessary to bring your opponent to the table for surrender or negotiation as quickly as possible and avoid a prolonged engagement. In any other era we wouldn’t even be discussing this.

          Again, though, for those in the back- fuck Israel.

            That type of flawed logic is exactly what led to atomic bombs being used to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, and is Israel’s supposed justification for their barbaric campaign against Palestinians.

                The Soviets were about to invade the Japanese empire when the US dropped the atomic bombs. They did this just to prevent Japan from falling in USSR’s sphere of influence.

                However, you might still be thankful as South Korea likely wouldn’t exist otherwise, being instead merely the agrarian South of a juche unified Korea.

                No you would not be, USA had the resources to commit to a landing in japan and have less casualties over all

                You’re not immune to propaganda, do not believe that nukes were ever necessary

                  What led to the rather tragic decision was the fact that the Japanese did not consider surrendering. Japanese high-ups used their elite pilots like one-off missiles rather than to surrender, and hoped that 100 million Japanese people would ‘shatter like a jewel’(一億玉砕), rather than, you know, be alive.

                  Landing option the US had, Operation Downfall, also included bombing the coastal defense with nuclear bombs and literally obliterating Japan as a whole, so I’m not sure if that would have caused fewer casualties, not to mention it would have been a painstakingly long fight, ultimately leading to more painful exploitation for the victims like Korea and Southeast Asia. Even after the first bomb was dropped, they did not consider surrendering.

                  I am not saying that the bomb was the only way the war could have ended(although that was something I implied jokingly), and I’m not ignoring the fact that countless civilians died from it. But I don’t think any other options would have had fewer casualties, especially from the viewpoint of one of their many colonies that was brutally exploited and suffered.

                Do you not think that deciding to commit a war crime by intentionally targeting and murdering over 200,000 civilians, was perhaps a bad call?

                Or perhaps intentionally targeting journalists, doctors, first responders, schools, hospitals, entire apartment buildings, is actually acceptable because the conflict will supposedly end sooner?

                  Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not a bad call.

                  As for your second point- in this situation is it acceptable or justified? Fuck no. Is it tactically the correct move, given what these pieces of shit are trying to accomplish? Yes.

                    Yes they were ESPECIALLY Nagasaki

                    A second one was not needed, that is easy to prove and I remain unconvinced the first bomb dropped was necessary either.

                    Japan was already ready to surrender. This is unclassified now. So how was it not a bad call exactly? Assuming we both agree on my first assertion.

                    So, in your view, intentionally killing civilians is OK if they’re Japanese, but not if they’re Palestinian.

                    Fascinating.
