Tehran launched fresh missiles strikes against Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed further strikes on Iran in a military operation that has targeted the nuclear and military facilities of his country’s arch enemy.

Shortly after midnight on June 14, Israel said its military had intercepted a new round of Iranian surface-to-surface missiles in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem on the second consecutive day of Iranian air strikes that followed a damaging Israeli air assault on sites linked to Tehran’s nuclear program.

    The entire premise behind Israel as a project state is the marketing that they are doing “the right thing.” It has nothing to do with the Jewish faith. It has everything to do with zionism, genocide, and profit.

    They know they are the bad guys here. They don’t care.

      There are very few conflicts where you can paint the governments involved as black and white “good guys/bad guys”. In the Iran / Israel arena I’d like to see both governments fall.

      Iran I’d like to see return to being a much more secular state, and Israel… Well they’ve got some very deep rot to expunge. 70+ years of “Lebensraum” type entitled-expansion. I don’t know how you get that out of the culture.

      You have to remember that the citizens of a country aren’t always the same as the leadership of the country.

        correct! i absolutely remember that. which means sometimes when I say “Israel” people think I mean working class folks trying to get by. However those folks are not zionists. Zionists do not count as “folks” in this formula.

      I’m not saying they’re gonna a have a moral breakthrough. I’m saying they’re not gonna want to engage in a war that means a lot of their people are dying. War on Palestine is easy. War against Iran is not.
