TBH I assume assume the least informed and biggest arseholes dominate discussions.
The rest of the world is simply lucky that our biggest and dumbest arseholes don’t speak English too well.
Bit of a tangent, but I find it funny that Americans complain about it being hot when they have AC in most of their buildings, but then mock people complaining about a 40C/105F heatwave with relatively high humidity in countries where AC is anything but standard and sometimes with houses which are designed to keep the heat in during the winter meaning it can easily reach 45C/115F or more inside.
I assume it’ll happen again this summer, with the usual Marie Antionette level “let them use AC” comments, not seeming to grasp the environmental and financial cost of AC everywhere.

when israel releases the 3000+ Palestinian hostages they hold in concentration camps we can reach a ceasefire.
In other words, you would rather that Israel continue bombing Gaza, than that Hamas and Israel sign a ceasefire today.
Almost as if you don’t actually care about the innocent men, women and children who are dying, as you find it politically convenient the conflict continues. Especially in the run-up to the US election.
You forgot to mention ‘genocide Joe’ or go on about ‘’‘Zionists’‘’ controlling all western media Linkerbaan.
Not the level of debate we expect of you. Fingers tired from copy-pasting Kremlin propaganda?
Looks like you didn’t reach the end of my comment:
It is possible to be critical of Israel and not defend Iran. Just so you know, I know Russian propaganda probably told you otherwise.
But hey, if people being critical of Iran or their terrorist proxies disturbs you, perhaps you should join the ghost of Russell Bentley on lemmy.ml
Good news. Finally the Iranian government will be able to defend itself against teenaged schoolgirls who uncover too much of their hair.
Israel, however, is the matter of getting enough of Rs to vote Yea to outweigh the Maggots. I don’t like it, but the feds spend billions of dollars on tons of stuff I dislike. If allowing a continued genocide in one country means that the same won’t happen in two others…(sigh)
And it’s not as if a lack of funding would stop them anyway. It’s largely symbolic and to ensure Israel keeps buying American.
assassinated Iranian officials.
Bit disingenious to call (senior) Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ‘officials’ like they’re low level bureaucrats, not military personnel.
you’re ignoring the fact that Israel attacked first.
Why did they attack?
According to Al Jazeera, the IRGC initially claimed the october 7 attack on Israel was revenge for the killing of IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani, although they later retracted that statement.
In any case, the cold war between Israel and Iran didn’t start with Israel bombing an Iranian embassy. Honeslty don’t know who started it, but it wasn’t the first attack, not the first attack on an embassy either.
Iran retaliated, and did so after warning Israel of exactly what it was going to do
Iran claims they warned Israel. The US says they didn’t.
I mean, your user name suggests you’re queer and a communist. How utterly bizarre that you’re defending an Islamic theocracy.
It is possible to be critical of Israel and not defend Iran. Just so you know, I know Russian propaganda probably told you otherwise.
They launched a massive attack on Israel, Israel responded with a very small and limited strike. Iran have been funding terrorist proxy groups for decades. They also treat their own people and women horrifically.
Hate Israel all you want, but cheerleading for an Islamic theocracy is stupid.
It’s not The Wire or The Sopranoes.
It is genuinely fun and bingeable.
Why would Ukraine condemn an attack on a country that is supplying Russia with drones used to kill Ukrainian men, women and children?
Uhuh.
Anyway, breaking news is that Iran has also launched cruise missiles, so now Israel’s going to retaliate with a significant strike against Iran. And in case you haven’t been paying attention, Israel are less than great on proportionality.
Never a dull day.
The Israeli far-right gained power in part due to Hamas, PLO and Hezbollah attacks.
It’s an endless spiral of violence, reprisal and even more violence.
didn’t Israel start this by bombing their embassy in Syria?
Israel bombed their embassy in Syria as a response to Iran helping Hezbollah and Hamas. At one point an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman said October 7th was a response to the death of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, although they later retracted that. The Israelis wanted Soleimani gone because of his role in supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and earlier attacks on Israel, including his involvement in the 2006 war in Lebanon. Etc. etc. etc. on and on back to before Iran became Iran.
The middle-east is an illustration of the idiom “An Eye for an Eye Will Make the Whole World Blind”.
Been like that for a while.
For example, /r/videos supposedly has 30 million subscribers, but you can sometimes hit the front page of that sub with 50 upvotes.
Subs like that have been decimated by tiktok, so it’s safe to assume most of the subscribers have left. It simply doesn’t make sense.
I really liked mini Yoda. I don’t get why you hate Disney so much.
So much great content. Really is the golden age of television now that the companies like Disney and Netflix are all trying to compete with each other.
I always enjoying pirating their shows and movies.
Israelis aren’t watching Al-Jazeera and they aren’t protesting because of human rights abuses in Gaza. They’ve been largely insulated from that as their media focus on the hostages and what happened on October 7th.
