False equivalence. Iran didnt randomly start bombing Israel, it's just responding to Israel bombing it. Many people here would support Ukriane bombing Putin because they'd agree that it's a defensive war.
Would it be a defensive war? The only action taken against Iran in the past while was the bombing of their nuclear facilities, which was clearly a US action. Israel cheered it on, sure, but what action had Israel taken against Iran that would have justified Iran bombing them?
Iran isn't Palestine. Iran isn't Lebanon (despite all of their proxy militants there). I'm not justifying any of Israel's actions, but Iran bombing them would be more like if Poland started lobbing bombs at Russia, which I think we all agree would be a big escalation.
Have you turned the TV on? Israel is currently bombing Iran together with the US
My guy, the hypothetical was if Iran had bombed Israel instead of the other way around. Reading comprehension is important.
What hypothetical? Iran bombed Israel in the 12-day war and is currently bombing it in the new iteration of Operation True Promise. If Netanyahu gets disassembled I'll be celebrating
