It would have been nice if this world wasn't run by fucking children.

    Fuck Netanyahu.

    If he starts WW3 he can get fucked... though we should try and grant asylum to all current residents of Palestine and Isreal.

    Oh FFS. This had better be an extremely limited response to Iran's response to Israel's bombing of an embassy. Here's hoping it's just the same type of symbolic attack that Iran made last weekend - all show and no intent. Just Israel refusing to let anyone else have the last word.

    Anything more serious and things are about to become very messy and even more expensive. Although it would explain why Israel is suddenly arranging to get dozens of jets from the US in the last month or so. Lord knows they don't seem necessary if the only goal is to keep blowing up Palestinians.

    Forgive what feels like a nitpick, but we should take a moment for wider historical scorn. WaPo at the end of March:

    Last week, the State Department authorized the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines worth roughly $2.5 billion, U.S. officials said. The case was approved by Congress in 2008, so the department was not required to provide a new notification to lawmakers.

    Biden owns the fuckup, but it comes after all the shit Israel put the administrations of Dubya, Obama, and Individual 1 through, and after all the atrocities upon the Great March of Return and the other surges of conflict. The planes could fill another allies’ order, the MIC could get their warbucks, and Joey could have kicked the can down the road, but here we are.

    So, are they going back to opposing the invasion of Rafah, then?

    You know, seeing as how Israel just got concessions for promising not to do a thing, then immediately went and did the thing regardless.

    Or does Biden just have a humilation fetish? Which fine, no kink-shaming here but maybe keep it in the bedroom.

    I have to admit, the phrase 'lifestyle democrat' has a nice ring to it...

    The US was aware of the Israeli attack plans, according to CNN. If the US is shooting down Iranian missiles, why don't they shoot down Israeli missiles as well? Nothing good will happen from any sort of missile exchange in that region.

    wild how Iran launched missiles at Israel and then was struck by Israeli missiles... the Israeli missiles weren't launched, though. They just sprang into existence above Iran

    Irresponsible decision from Israel, the initial exchange seemed justified with no reason to escalate things.

    I wish the EU would grow a backbone and tell the US to stop stoking fires in our backyard

    Germany and Italy are also big on giving aid to Israel so Idk if the EU is going to be able to help either.
