And what possible good did Israel achieve by blowing up Iran's Embassy, which actually killed people? I'm not a fan of Iran, but this take is irresponsible. Israel is in a posture to drag the US into a regional war with Iran. If Israel attacks Iran directly, what do you think happens next? And I'm hearing some of our elected leaders waving pom poms in support. Have we all lost our collective minds?
The US and other Western allies have been irresponsible in their support of Israel. Israel should have been pushed a long time ago into a 2 state solution and also into shutting down their settlement expansions. Young Adults in the US may soon be fighting and dying for what? To perpetuate an immoral stance by a country that treats some people as 2nd class citizens, if even that, led by a man who is trying to stay out of jail.
October 7th, 2023. An Iranian proxy known as Hamas that was supplied armed, trained, and paid, by Iran implemented a long standing Iranian policy. Death to Israel. Nobody disputes Hamas is an Iranian proxy force.
On that day over a 1000 were killed, and in the continuing violence over 30,000 have been killed.
And you feel Iran holds no responsibility in all this?
Syria and Iran are strategic allies! They have massive interests in regional affairs and both need each other to ensure they are not undermined by their adversaries in the region. They have seen the US go to war on Iraq (on Israels prodding) and want to keep Syria (one of their few remaining allies) propped up and not fall out of their sphere of influence. Syria and Iran are under greater threat from Israel and the US than the other way around! Attack them and they will attack back, like any other nation on the planet (with the means to do so) would.
Israel was in flagrant violation of the UN charter and international law when it attcked Irans consolate. Its basically an ACT OF WAR for any other soverign nation! You can not have one set of laws and rules for some while not applying to others. This will ultimately lead to a break down of international order.
And understand that rational thinkers in the US are pretty fucking upset at Israels actions. US interests have been SEVERELY underminded by Israel over so many deacdes and even more so now! The US is not siding with Israel because its an "ally", they are siding with it because of tremendous political pressures from Zionist lobby groups that are basically calling the shots on US foreign policy. If not for that Israel would be a pariah state!

As for Syria:
It has managed to kill off 617,910 of its own people at the moment, with 6.7 million fleeing the country. These figures do not include disappearances or extrajudicial executions. To be a strategic allie with Syria is hardly any argument of good intentions.
Who remembers when Israel attacked and destroyed Iraqs Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981?
Who remembers the UN Security Council resolution passed in response to that attack?
Who remembers that that resolution was UNANIMOUSLY adopted including by the US, UK, France in CONDEMNING Israel for that attack?
The Reagan admin back then had the balls and moral scruples that over-rode any Zio-lobbying attempts on the matter.
Exerpts from UNSC resolution 487:
... Considering that, under the terms of Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations: "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations",
1. Strongly condemns the military attack by Israel in clear violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the norms of international conduct;
2. Calls upon Israel to refrain in the future from any such acts or threats thereof;
3. Further considers that the said attack constitutes a serious threat to the entire IAEA safeguards regime which is the foundation of the non-proliferation Treaty;
4. Fully recognises the inalienable sovereign right of Iraq, and all other States, especially the developing countries, to establish programmes of technological and nuclear development to develop their economy and industry for peaceful purposes in accordance with their present and future needs and consistent with the internationally accepted objectives of preventing nuclear-weapons proliferation;
5. Calls upon Israel urgently to place its nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards;
6. Considers that Iraq is entitled to appropriate redress for the destruction it has suffered, responsibility for which has been acknowledged by Israel;
7. Requests the Secretary-General to keep the Security Council regularly informed of the implementation of this resolution.

The Lobby has learned from that and has become ever more entrenched in the corruption of the US political system and has spread even beyond that to the UK and other euro nations to where it would be much harder for UNSC reolutions like this to occur again.
Who remembers October 7th, 2023?
Iran has spent decades launching terrorist attacks on civilians, Israeli and others. Killing, murdering, men, women, and children without hesitation.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al Haq, Harakat Hezbollah al Nujaba, Kataib Sayyad al Shuhada, Badr Organization, Ansar Allah ( Houthis ), Zaynabiyoun Brigade***, Fatemiyoun Division**, Saraya al Ashtar, Saraya al Mukhtar, Hezbollah al Hejaz*
*directly linked to murdering Americans in Saudi Arabia
**this Iranian proxy floats between Syrian and Afghanistan, kidnapping Afgan children to fight in the Syrian/Afgan civil wars. Think of a big convoy that dips into Afganistan to replinish by becoming the apocoplypse, and then goes to Syria to fight, and then repeats.
***This brigade is forced conscripted out of the Pakistan Shiite refugee communities in Iran that predate the 1979 revolution. They either fight, or their families get it. Mainly fight as shock troops for Assad.
(I could go on, but you get the point)
At this point Iran has spit in the eye of UN law and the Geneva convention so many times perhaps the Geneva convention should be used as a checklist.
