If Cali gets droned, it will be Israel, not Iran.

I honestly think it would just be the US once again attacking itself in order to justify something terrible.

What does the presence or absence of Jews in LA have to do with anything?

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think they're implying all Jewish people are a monolith and therefore israel would never attack, because Israel is largely Jewish and wouldn't risk hurting another Jewish person in a false flag attack.

I honestly don't know how they could think a country willing to do false flags would care about hurting someone who has ties to their country's people, be it religious, ethnic, or otherwise.

Fuck, the CIA in the US has admitted to doing horrible shit to americans that got some killed. Why would Israel care if some people die who happen to share a religion with their country's people?

I mean, you don’t want to be too obvious about it.

By your argument, there’s also a lot of Iranians in Los Angeles. So it couldn’t be them either.

There are far more jews in NY than LA and it is hella closer to Iran than LA. Iran does not have the ability to strike the uSA
