Israel's defence minister says Iran's supreme leader "can no longer be allowed to exist"after the Soroka hospital was hit during an Iranian missile attack, AFP and local media report as terrible as this is it’s incredibly ironic that this comes from the government that has been bombing hospitals for the last year+
Not sure what to believe anymore but there is footage on X that shows the Israeli army using the underground of the hospital as a base..
I still can’t understand why the lives of innocent Israeli’s seem to have a far higher “worth” than the life of innocent Arabs.
Netanyahu stuns Israelis by describing ‘personal cost’ of Iran war - postponing son’s wedding Benjamin Netanyahu has evoked the spirit of London during the blitz, and pointed to his own family’s sacrifice amid the blood, toil, tears and sweat of his nation: the second postponement of his son’s wedding. The Israeli prime minister’s remarks, solemnly delivered to the cameras against the backdrop of a missile-struck hospital building in the southern city of Beersheba, set off a howl of derision that echoed around the Hebrew-language internet, at the height of a war that Netanyahu unleashed on Friday. The stunning comments also added grist to the arguments of his critics that the PM is increasingly cut off emotionally from the daily realities of Israel and the region, after more than 17 years in office. Seeking to underline his family’s shared hardship with ordinary Israelis, Netanyahu adopted a Churchillian tone when pointing out that this was not the first time his son Avner’s wedding had needed to be postponed, and that Avner’s fiancee was also disappointed, not to mention the thwarted mother of the groom, Netanyahu’s wife, Sara. “It really reminds me of the British people during the blitz. We are going through a blitz,” Netanyahu said, referring to the wartime Nazi bombing of Britain in which 43,000 civilians died. “There are people who were killed, families who grieved loved ones, I really appreciate that,” he went on. The Israeli authorities say 24 Israeli civilians have so far been killed. Washington-based human rights activists have estimated the Iranian civilian death toll to be 263. “Each of us bears a personal cost, and my family has not been exempt,” Netanyahu said at the Soroka hospital, which was struck on Thursday morning by an Iranian missile, causing light injuries. “This is the second time that my son Avner has cancelled a wedding due to missile threats. It is a personal cost for his fiancee as well, and I must say that my dear wife is a hero, and she bears a personal cost.” Avner Netanyahu’s wedding was first scheduled for November but was postponed for security reasons. Then it was due to take place on Monday, despite the threat of opposition protests. Reports that the prime minister was going to take a few days off for the event may have contributed to Iran’s complacency on Friday morning when its leadership was taken unawares by Israel’s aerial attack. The Israeli backlash to Netanyahu’s nuptial comments was instant and furious. Anat Angrest, whose son Matan has been held hostage since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, observed that the suffering “didn’t go unnoticed by my family either”. “I have been in the hellish dungeons of Gaza for 622 days now,” Angrest said in a post on the social media platform X. Gilad Kariv, a Knesset member for the Democrats, called Netanyahu a “borderless narcissist”. “I know many families who were not forced to postpone a wedding, but who will now never celebrate the weddings that were once meant to take place,” Kariv said. He was contemptuous of Netanyahu’s claim that his wife, Sara, notorious in Israeli for her expensive tastes, was a hero. “The doctors who leave home for night shifts are the heroes,” Kariv said. “The teachers who keep our children together on Zoom and phone calls are the heroes.” Amir Tibon, an Israeli journalist, argued that public figures whose children had been killed in combat would never draw attention to the fact. “But there are no surprises with Netanyahu,” Tibon said. “Even in moments when a personal example is most needed, he is first and foremost concerned with himself.”
Well apparently there’s now a window of opportunity for the UK and the EU to try to negotiate with Iran. I can’t help being cynical, so I’m assuming the genocidal maniac Netanyahu will not only be fuming he’ll also do something in order to scupper it.
As its always been with all these middle east countries, demonise them, claim their president/PMs are a danger to the west, dictators, etc...in truth if left alone they dont give a shit about us "westerners" weve done nothing but destroy the entire area. All in the name of "democracy" the biggest scam ever...if it werent for all the oil, the "west" wouldnt be interested in the Middle East. Yup, false flag happening in 3...2...1 Have you seen the interview from this pic mate? Cruz truly embarasses himself. Whatever you think of Carlson he absolutely destroyed Cruz here.
If the Iranian FM is to be believed Iran are willing to negotiate on he nuclear programme, as long as the fighting stops first.
At this point in time I find what Iran says more believable then anything coming from Netanyahu and his cronies. I don’t think the fighting’s gonna stop over these next 2 weeks as Isreal doesn’t want it to
I wouldn't trust anything the Iranian 'government' says, they are a rogue state and control their people according to the writings of a thousand year old work of fiction.
Interesting turn. Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them. The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by "dishonest media". Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was "wrong" and that intelligence showed Iran had a "tremendous amount of material" and could have a nuclear weapon "within months". Iran has always said that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and that it has never sought to develop a nuclear weapon. On Thursday Trump said he was giving Tehran the "maximum" of two weeks to reach a deal on its nuclear activities with Washington. He said he would soon decide whether the US should join Israel's strikes on Iran. Disagreement has been building within Trump's "America First" movement over whether the US should enter the conflict. c056zqn6vvyo Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them. Still won't get questioned. Changing the story is a blatantly obvious lie just to attack countries.
The rapist told her that the Iranians were close to having a nuclear weapon, and since he's never wrong about anything she understandably decided to discard all the reports from the world's intelligence services.
On reflection , the more this transpires the more it made sense for Israel to attack them . Don’t get me wrong , Israel is ****ing crazy especially with trying to annex land and 100% they’re in the wrong for that . But the logic of attacking Iran is there: - Israel has ****ed their proxies proper , to the extent they can’t help Iran at all - Syria is no longer a vassal state to Iran now and that means less support - Russia is preoccupied in Ukraine and can’t provide assistance to Iran . Even though Iran has supplied them with drones , they still haven’t come out in support of Iran . The ultimate backstab I personally don’t think (just my opinion ) that Iran is really close to a bomb, Israel just wanted an excuse to attack Iran . I don’t think trump (again my opinion ) is going to commit to any attacks until it likely looks like the regime is toppled and Israel is close to decisively winning . If it could go either way , there is no chance trump will commit to it given the decent section of even his own base that are against another Middle Eastern war . Trump will only want this if only good news comes from it
Look if you put yourself in a fascist government's mindset then attacking everyone and anyone you can to weaken them makes perfect sense. They went to town on Syria the second the Russian puppet collapsed. The blew up stuff that was basically rusting away just to deny anything to the rebels. They have now gone for Iran for no real reason (wmd excuse is just like Iraq, and excuse) bar they want to weaken them and get revenge for hamas. Long term trumps support and allowing of a free hand will cause genocide in garage and far more settlements in the west bank over the 4 year term so blasting Iran makes perfect sense. The Americans keep giving them the weapons to drop so why wouldn't they keep going.
