Why would you attack their embassy in the first place, like why?
You did know that Iran is a major sponsor of Hamas?
Because Iran's IRGC has been supplying and attacking Israel by proxy since the beginning of the war. You never heard of Hezbollah? 😅
Iran has been waging war with Israel via its proxies for 6 months. Why did Iran bomb the Israeli Embassy in Argentina in 1992 killing 32 people and injuring 242?

I see a huge cynicism that ruins international relations. It is very unfortunate that he also appeared in the statement of our foreign ministry, because when Israel struck the territory of a sovereign state in the capital and destroyed a diplomatic mission of a third country, no one reacted. And now everyone is outraged by the Iranian attack on Israel, which did not even hit any civilian targets, but hit a military base from which the planes possibly took off and struck Syria. Do you understand what I'm talking about? These are absolute double standards. This thing cannot go on like this. Unfortunately, it gives us only one line of thought and that is that international law and international relations are in a huge crisis. And from here on, they can't act like that.
Mind your business UK and USA. Australia don’t even think about it.

And if they came to you as prisoners, you ransomed them, even though you were forbidden to expel them. Do you believe in some of the Book (Torah) and disbelieve in some (others)? Then there is no (appropriate) reward for those among you who do this other than disgrace in the life of this world and on the Day of Resurrection they will be returned to the punishment that is right. the hardest.

You are correct in that war is a failure of the human species but absolutely wrong that it’s not in our nature. We may be the only species that can truly comprehend the far reaching implications of our actions yet we lie, cheat, steal, murder, pillage and commit horrific atrocities all the same.
Thankfully we aren’t all like this or we wouldn’t have made it this far but there will always be people who will choose violence over peace for power, greed, lands and fairy tales.
We're animals that try to pretend otherwise. Cats torture mice and humans fire missiles at each other.

Leugenaar 🤥
My brother, nobody wants to talk about that.. News channels see the dangers for "isr**li civilians," but no one saw the 30,000 innocent women and children kill*d. No one saw the hospitals being b*mb*d.
Why don't you complain to those who are to blame for the current situation of the Palestinians - their leadership and army, aka Hamas, and the operatives of Hamas, the Iranian regime?
The Palestinians launched a war against Israel, when they sent at least 3,000 terrorists, including Hamas officials and many "civilians" to invade Israel, carrying out a carefully planned massacre of 1,200 civilians and taking 240 hostages, 133 of which are still kidnapped in Gaza.
Israel is a sovereign state and is obliged to protect its citizens when they are attacked in a state of war, and this is what always happens in wars - there are casualties...
Do you think that the Gaza leadership did not take into account that there would be Palestinian casualties??
Well, it doesn't seem to bother Hamas and the Iranian regime at all, yet you only expect the Israelis to protect their enemies, isn't that hypocritical of you?

They attacked with drones because if they fail then too will cost millions to ISRAEL 🇮🇱
Iran drones flying slowly several hours in the air saying "hit me, hit me"
Drones are cheap, Patriot missiles are not. Iran can replace drones faster than Israel can replace Patriot missiles, and since the west has supplied all the Patriot missiles they can spare to Ukraine, it is going to be hard for Israel to replace theirs, when they run out, then you'll see Iran pulling out their longer range missiles, that are harder to shoot down.

The reason why I will never support the government of Israel, and neither should you . During the 1970s and 1980s, there were reports and allegations that Israel provided military support and weapons to the apartheid regime in South Africa. The apartheid regime in South Africa enforced a system of racial segregation and discrimination, oppressing the majority black population in the country.
Here are some key points regarding the allegations of Israeli support to the South African apartheid regime:
1. **Military Cooperation**: There were reports of military cooperation between Israel and South Africa during the apartheid era. Israel allegedly provided military equipment, technology, and expertise to the South African government.
2. **Allegations of Arms Sales**: There were allegations that Israel sold weapons, including military aircraft, armored vehicles, and ammunition, to the apartheid regime in South Africa. These sales were reportedly used by the South African government to suppress internal dissent and opposition to apartheid policies.
3. **Political Motivations**: The alleged military cooperation between Israel and South Africa during this period was influenced by various factors, including shared security interests, geopolitical considerations, and a common perception of threats in their respective regions.
4. **International Criticism**: The reported military cooperation between Israel and the apartheid regime in South Africa drew international criticism and condemnation. Many countries and organizations viewed such support as contributing to the perpetuation of human rights abuses and oppression in South Africa.
5. **End of Apartheid**: With the end of apartheid in the early 1990s and the establishment of a democratic government in South Africa, these allegations of Israeli support to the apartheid regime became a subject of historical scrutiny and criticism.
It is important to note that the details and extent of Israeli support to the apartheid regime in South Africa during that period remain a subject of historical debate and controversy. The allegations have been a point of criticism for Israel's foreign policy during that era and have been cited as an example of international support for oppressive regimes. Copy paste and share.
Israel's health ministry is investigating claims that Ethiopian women are being injected with a controversial contraceptive without their knowledge or consent.
Thousands of Ethiopian women are said to be receiving shots of Depo-Provera every three months in Israeli clinics. The contraceptive stops menstruation and has been linked to fertility problems and osteoporosis.
Yaakov Litzman, Israel's deputy minister of health, who has previously denied the practice, will lead the inquiry, a spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
The phenomenon was uncovered when social workers noticed the birth rate among Ethiopian immigrants halving in a decade. An Israeli documentary investigating the scandal was aired in December and prompted a popular outcry.
It revealed that women were started on a course of contraceptive jabs while still in transit camps in Ethiopia, some without being told they were being given birth control and many having no idea of the side-effects. When they eventually arrived in Israel, doctors continued the treatment unquestioningly. But the critical question remains unanswered as to who instigated the policy, with neither Israel nor Ethiopia willing to claim responsibility.
Sava Reuben, an Ethiopian who has lived in Israel since 1984, interviewed more than 35 women from her community for the film and found that 25 were still receiving contraceptive shots from healthcare providers.
Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.
Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.
"No, we didn't want to take it, we refused. We said we didn't want it," the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.
"This happened to many, many other women," Reuben said.
More than 50,000 Ethiopian Jews have immigrated to Israel in the past decade. The fast-growing community has struggled against bias. In 1996, thousands rioted when it was discovered that the Israeli health ministry had destroyed all stocks of blood donated by Ethiopians on the grounds that it might be contaminated with HIV.
Israel's health ministry has strongly denied allegations that the injections are part of a policy to control the growth of the Ethiopian community.
"The Israel ministry of health neither advises nor encourages the use of Depo-Provera injections and if they are being administered this is in despite of our view," a spokesperson said.
And yet Reuben claims to have discovered a letter from the health ministry to a clinic in Ethiopia in 2000 thanking doctors there for the large numbers of women they had treated with Depo-Provera.
"Why are only Ethiopian women being given Depo-Provera in Israel? It's supposed to be a last-resort contraceptive. Israeli health authorities claim the injections are a cultural preference but in our culture, to have lots of children is to be rich," Reuben said.
"It is my opinion that this is a deliberate policy on the part of Israel. They are taking advantage of women who are weak because they are new to the country, do not understand the language and who traditionally respect authority. It makes me more than angry."
Dr Mushira Aboodia, a gynaecologist working at Jerusalem's Hadassah medical centre, said the majority of Ethiopian women she had met received Depo-Provera injections.
"This is a policy that no one will admit. No one in Israel will take responsibility for the treatment in the camps but someone must have instigated it and it would not be in Ethiopia's interests to treat women preparing to leave the country," Aboodia said.
"Something is definitely wrong here. I'm very glad the ministry of health will be investigating the issue. They will need to do a thorough job."
A message from Betsy Reed, editor of the Guardian US
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask if you would consider supporting the Guardian’s journalism during one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes.
From Elon Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what’s happening in the world. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest - not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much US media: the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. We always strive to be fair. But sometimes that means calling out the lies of powerful people and institutions - and making clear how misinformation and demagoguery can damage democracy.
From threats to election integrity, to the spiralling climate crisis, to complex foreign conflicts, our journalists contextualise, investigate and illuminate the critical stories of our time.

The reason why I will never support the government of Israel, and neither should you . During the 1970s and 1980s, there were reports and allegations that Israel provided military support and weapons to the apartheid regime in South Africa. The apartheid regime in South Africa enforced a system of racial segregation and discrimination, oppressing the majority black population in the country.
Here are some key points regarding the allegations of Israeli support to the South African apartheid regime:
1. **Military Cooperation**: There were reports of military cooperation between Israel and South Africa during the apartheid era. Israel allegedly provided military equipment, technology, and expertise to the South African government.
2. **Allegations of Arms Sales**: There were allegations that Israel sold weapons, including military aircraft, armored vehicles, and ammunition, to the apartheid regime in South Africa. These sales were reportedly used by the South African government to suppress internal dissent and opposition to apartheid policies.
3. **Political Motivations**: The alleged military cooperation between Israel and South Africa during this period was influenced by various factors, including shared security interests, geopolitical considerations, and a common perception of threats in their respective regions.
4. **International Criticism**: The reported military cooperation between Israel and the apartheid regime in South Africa drew international criticism and condemnation. Many countries and organizations viewed such support as contributing to the perpetuation of human rights abuses and oppression in South Africa.
5. **End of Apartheid**: With the end of apartheid in the early 1990s and the establishment of a democratic government in South Africa, these allegations of Israeli support to the apartheid regime became a subject of historical scrutiny and criticism.
It is important to note that the details and extent of Israeli support to the apartheid regime in South Africa during that period remain a subject of historical debate and controversy. The allegations have been a point of criticism for Israel's foreign policy during that era and have been cited as an example of international support for oppressive regimes. Copy paste and share.
Israel's health ministry is investigating claims that Ethiopian women are being injected with a controversial contraceptive without their knowledge or consent.
Thousands of Ethiopian women are said to be receiving shots of Depo-Provera every three months in Israeli clinics. The contraceptive stops menstruation and has been linked to fertility problems and osteoporosis.
Yaakov Litzman, Israel's deputy minister of health, who has previously denied the practice, will lead the inquiry, a spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
The phenomenon was uncovered when social workers noticed the birth rate among Ethiopian immigrants halving in a decade. An Israeli documentary investigating the scandal was aired in December and prompted a popular outcry.
It revealed that women were started on a course of contraceptive jabs while still in transit camps in Ethiopia, some without being told they were being given birth control and many having no idea of the side-effects. When they eventually arrived in Israel, doctors continued the treatment unquestioningly. But the critical question remains unanswered as to who instigated the policy, with neither Israel nor Ethiopia willing to claim responsibility.
Sava Reuben, an Ethiopian who has lived in Israel since 1984, interviewed more than 35 women from her community for the film and found that 25 were still receiving contraceptive shots from healthcare providers.
Reuben spoke to one woman who believed she had been given a flu vaccination and had no idea she had been injected with Depo-Provera.
Another was pregnant with her fifth child when she arrived in the transit camp, where she would live for seven years. The woman in her thirties told Reuben that officials had gathered together all the new mothers in the camp and told them they would be given Depo-Provera as it would be too difficult for them to give birth Israel.
"No, we didn't want to take it, we refused. We said we didn't want it," the unnamed woman recalls in the film. She agreed to the injections only because she was told her immigration to Israel would be blocked and she would receive no further healthcare in the camps if she refused.
"This happened to many, many other women," Reuben said.
More than 50,000 Ethiopian Jews have immigrated to Israel in the past decade. The fast-growing community has struggled against bias. In 1996, thousands rioted when it was discovered that the Israeli health ministry had destroyed all stocks of blood donated by Ethiopians on the grounds that it might be contaminated with HIV.
Israel's health ministry has strongly denied allegations that the injections are part of a policy to control the growth of the Ethiopian community.
"The Israel ministry of health neither advises nor encourages the use of Depo-Provera injections and if they are being administered this is in despite of our view," a spokesperson said.
And yet Reuben claims to have discovered a letter from the health ministry to a clinic in Ethiopia in 2000 thanking doctors there for the large numbers of women they had treated with Depo-Provera.
"Why are only Ethiopian women being given Depo-Provera in Israel? It's supposed to be a last-resort contraceptive. Israeli health authorities claim the injections are a cultural preference but in our culture, to have lots of children is to be rich," Reuben said.
"It is my opinion that this is a deliberate policy on the part of Israel. They are taking advantage of women who are weak because they are new to the country, do not understand the language and who traditionally respect authority. It makes me more than angry."
Dr Mushira Aboodia, a gynaecologist working at Jerusalem's Hadassah medical centre, said the majority of Ethiopian women she had met received Depo-Provera injections.
"This is a policy that no one will admit. No one in Israel will take responsibility for the treatment in the camps but someone must have instigated it and it would not be in Ethiopia's interests to treat women preparing to leave the country," Aboodia said.
"Something is definitely wrong here. I'm very glad the ministry of health will be investigating the issue. They will need to do a thorough job."

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask if you would consider supporting the Guardian’s journalism during one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes.
From Elon Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what’s happening in the world. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest - not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much US media: the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. We always strive to be fair. But sometimes that means calling out the lies of powerful people and institutions - and making clear how misinformation and demagoguery can damage democracy.
From threats to election integrity, to the spiralling climate crisis, to complex foreign conflicts, our journalists contextualise, investigate and illuminate the critical stories of our time.

Signs of the last days escalating after the eclipse
Only Jesus saves John 3:15-16
Why do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the [g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Psalm 2
