Several loud explosions were heard in Iran's capital, Tehran, and the nearby Karaj city early on Saturday, semi-official Iranian media said.

Are you saying Iran should not retaliate against attacks against them? Let Israel and their proxies just kill their people?

See what I mean when I said ad nauseum?

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I don't. And wtf are Israeli proxies? That sounds very much like the global Jewish conspiracy.

It is the Iranian regime and their terrorist proxies that attack Israel and want to genocide them. Since when have you all become so hot and bothered for Islamists? Just because you hate Israel does not mean you should suddenly become little jihadi mouthpieces.

Jesus christ, what a stretch. Please tell me you aren't seriously incapable of seeing how this will just result in more aggression from Iran and their terrorist buddies, and israel and their buddies (the US since it has to be spelled out to you). Being capable of seeing the consequences of this doesn't mean weren't hot and bothered for islamists or jihad mouthpieces lol.

This is you.

So, aside from all of your false equivalence... What are you proposing that isn't appeasement politics towards terrorists to solve this? Because if someone came and attacked you and your family, surely you would not let them just do that out of fear of constant retaliation, right?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ffs. Its sad that you can't see how "their side" can use the same shitty argument. And it doesn't matter what I propose I'm not the one who can solve this millenia long conflict. You examples is why crime families keep attacking each other. And eye for an eye makes the world go blind bud.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Israel isn't a crime family, it's a recognized country of people who were already persecuted and genocided for all of history. Every country has a right to defend themselves against getting attacked. If Iran launches its proxies to attack Israel, then Israel is of course going to retaliate. What you're doing is spewing antisemitic propaganda. You're equating terrorists and terror regimes such as Iran with Israel. You're saying that both sides are the same and you're basically saying that Israel has no right to defend their country and their people. Regardless of what you think of the extend of the response of Israel in Gaza, or even the shitty policies regarding their settlers, you're still defending aggressors and blame victims.

You might as well cry about the allied forces bombing Nazi Germany, or the US bombing the IS.

And you saying that what I am saying is belittling the actual very real problem of anti semitism. Are you incapable of realizing that Iran is going to hit back? That's literally what I said to start this whole this. And then it's been strawman after strawman with you. Please show where i "defend" Iran? The issue I had with allies bombing the enemies there was the bombing of population centers with no care for civilians. That should he a problem for you too. Please stop strawmanning.

I literally told you how you're doing it in the comment you're replying to. Stop the bad faith shit.

Again, learn to fucking read because it is literally clear that it is.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Except you didn't. Talk about bad faith. And, if you could read you would see that I never said it wasn't a problem for you. I said it should be a problem for you. I'm not the one putting words in people's mouths.

Thanks for proving my point, because that's exactly what you were insinuating, but now deny it. Bad faith troll.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It literally wasn't. If calling me a troll makes you feel better about yourself go right on ahead.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's no reason to tell me that it should be a problem for me, unless you're assuming that it isn't.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry, you're right, next time I won't converse as we do in English. Again you really like to speak for me. You should stop lol.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice mental gymnastics. But yes, please refrain from it from now on.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know, but they are only bronze compared to your mental gymnastics gold routine. Alas I won't strive to achieve your level.
