israelis are completely disconnected from international law, they’re just completely out of bounds and they are clueless about it. they actually are stupid and spoiled enough that they think are immune to everything
No theory of mind, they have yet to realize other people are real too, and are capable of acting independently.
Okay, give up your nukes then. If you don’t think that you striking an embassy is a provocation, you cannot be trusted with nukes
if your justification for an airstrike is that you were an eepy lil country who doesn’t know the rules of war, you don’t get to have a nuclear option. You’re trying to have it both ways. You can either be the smol bean enclave state that is just so so anxious and doesn’t mean it but lashes out sometimes and you can’t blame them for it or you can be an entity with the power to immediately dissolve a city
Goodness gracious, the amount of tiptoeing the “free press” has to do when writing about Israel…
Those records also outlined the range of responses from Iran that the Israeli government expected, among them small-scale attacks by proxies and a small-scale attack from Iran. None of the assessments predicted the ferocity of the Iranian response that actually occurred. From the day of the strike, Iran vowed retaliation, both publicly and through diplomatic channels. But it also sent messages privately that it did not want outright war with Israel — and even less so with the United States — and it waited 12 days to attack. American officials found themselves in an odd and uncomfortable position: They had been kept in the dark about an important action by a close ally, Israel, even as Iran, a longtime adversary, telegraphed its intentions well in advance. The United States and its allies have spent weeks engaged in intensive diplomacy, trying to tamp down first the expected Iranian counterattack, and now the temptation for Israel to reply in kind.
Bro, Israel has got to be the most incompetent of all allies. And Iran the most professional enemy. Like…maybe the US should just formally change alliances at this point.
Iranian officials say the attack was designed to inflict limited damage. U.S. officials have been telling Israeli leaders to see their successful defense as a victory, suggesting that little or no further reply is needed. But despite international calls for de-escalation, Israeli officials argue that Iran’s attack requires yet another response, which Iran says it would answer with still more force, making the situation more volatile.
Israel gets mild but unexpected attack from Hamas: Unlimited genocide is the only option.
Israel literally bombs the embassy of a nation and says they’d do it again and have done it before: What?! I cant believe you’d overreact!
Ummm actually it was the consulate building next to the embassy!“We’re not evil, we’re just dangerously incompetent.”
“UwU we did some cwimes against intewnational law”
How were they supposed to know THIS was the law that would break the camel’s back?!
So clumsy. I hate when that happens, Mondays am I right?
don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee
Yeah Israel’s just taking the piss now.
I’m pretty sure this is the US’ way of provoking Iran to start WW3 while having making out that it isn’t supporting Israel’s actions. “Oh haha we keep telling Israel they’re going to hard but gee gosh they just won’t listen. What? Stop supplying them with weapons? no”
they didn’t see a strike on a high-level Iranian target in Syria as a provocation
If that were true (it absolutely isn’t), they’d be the dumbest statesmen on the planet. That’s the excuse they’re going with, “we’re extremely stupid”.
Didn’t give Washington a heads up
Yeah fucking right, I can guarantee that it was the white house that ordered it.
Just a little oopsiedoodle
Israel’s dad is a lawyer and he’ll sue you!
Oh shit oh fuck… we didn’t know you cared about THOSE government officials THAT much… ssssssoooooorrrrriiiiieeee … shesh…
