George, whoever you are responding to, you are wrong. The people in the UK and EU (even many in the US) are not only fuming about the vile behaviour (genocide in Gaza ++, now this attack on a peaceful nation we call Iran from, Syria, The Yemen, Lebanon etc) by the Zionists. Personally I can neither stomach nor comprehend their actions - the Zionists disgust me, to my core and I will speak freely on the issue, whether the globalist scum arrest me - call me names, accuse me of anti-Semitism (they changed the definition of the term, so that is BS as well). I hope Iran destroys EVERY military establishment and every piece of equipment that Israel has.

Thank you, George. You see it so clearly and it is right. I've felt, myself, that this is the beginning of a change. It has to be. The alternative is, sooner or later, WWIII or something of the kind.
No-one of reason has ever forgotten the Holocaust, nor will they. Neither have they forgotten that it happened to Jews. However, the sympathy it generated has been misused to such an extent that it is now evaporating. The 'self defence' stance you mention, has been Israel's cry wolf - "we're victims again" ... and again... an again, when in fact, through its Zionist ideology and leadership, it has been the offender, the guilty, the criminal.
There comes a time when 'crying wolf' is recognised for what it is - a sham, a phoney. I believe that you are right and that time has come.
Of course, there are still nations who will continue to press the label of 'terrorist' on any group that fights for justice, for freedom from oppression, for the right to govern themselves and live their own way. It is no surprise that the UK has now sent jets to the Middle East. After all, it was the UK which kow-towed to the Zionist Lobby Group in the partitioning of Palestine to create the State of Israel. The UK (England being my birth country) has still not come to terms with its loss of empire and attempts to retain a sense of it by continuing with obsolescent traditions, an obsolescent and non-British monarchy, a 'Commonwealth' of ever diminishing significance and the sycophantic following of the USA, probably the nation having committed the most military interventions in other nations since WWII.
So, yes, it is time.
I know, there will be those who see anyone suggesting that the Iranian response is positive, as wrong, supportive of harsh regimes, obviously 'antisemitic' (convenient that one), and a traitor to democracy. However, they will be the ones who have it wrong because the positive is not about any of those things but rather, it is about honesty, transparency, pulling back the curtains on a shameful history, brutal occupation and indiscriminate criminal bullying, discrimination and even persecution by Israel for over 7 decades.
Any positive response is from those who have the sound morality to recognise deceit and perfidy and call it out. It is what we need, if humanity is to continue to exist in anything remotely resembling a safe and peaceful world free of humanly caused horror and tragedy.
That is well said George. Could you mail a copy to Minister Wong, because every time she opens her mouth something pro Israel comes out.
With 10,500 Palestinian hostages of all ages held and tortured in Israeli dungeons, this representative of Australia reckons its okay to starve a couple of million people as long as the Israeli Occupation Forces try not to hurt any civilians as they drop 2000lb bombs on families in tents, or shoot people queing for a meal, until the last 59 prisoners of war are released by the Palestinian resistance.
Minister Wong, you are confronted by the greatest moral dilemma of our time and fail every time you speak.
It’s true, but they are relentless. In Haaretz today is a news update about Germany preparing for an “Iranian” attack on Israeli and Jewish sites. You would think they would know by now that anyone paying attention knows that Israel and the US and their underling countries are the World Champions of FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS. Seems as though something is being cooked up. Big surprise. “Iranian” yeah right.
I am ok with Iran responding as they did after an unprovoked attack. What did Israel expect, a pity party? Nobody cares at this point, we’re watching as they destroy a country without remorse. Too bad, so sad. 😭
israel expected everyone to just carry on believing the false narrative that they are always the victim, even when they’re the only ones dropping bombs on other countries.
You’re a monkey - Zionism is a political ideology that’s only been in existence for 130 years. You’re not semites, you’re eastern europeans -poles, ashkenazi jews - zionism the cancer, the destroyer of humanity
Thank you George, but I disagree on a key point. I'm in my 50s, white, Conservative Trump voter and, therfore, I should be supporting the Jews, is how the story goes. I'm not relived Iran struck back. I'm ecstatic. I know the history of Kazarians, Chabad, Jews in general. Their religious racism has been a blight on the planet for 1000s of years and even the "good Jews" don't speak about the real issues they have caused. In the interest of wolrd peace I hope Iran bombs them into a smoldering parking lot and the Western nations shame every living Jew until they crawl back under a rock. Fuck them all.
Way past time! Those of us in USA that deplore the actions of our government in partnering with Zionist Israel and Netanyahu in Genocide will begin voting the leaders of Israeli partnership out of office. They’ve ignored our voices for way too long.
"Iran’s retaliation was not irrational. It was lawful under Article 51 of the UN Charter — a proportionate response to an unprovoked military strike on its territory."
What is the definition of a "proportional response" in this case? Would 20,000 Iranian missiles to all the occupied territory's military and non residential invader squatter settlement infrastructure be considered proportional? Would making occupied Palestine unlivable without killing its squatters be proportional? While targeting the squatters themselves might be emotionally tempting, succumbing to it would reduce one to the level of a monster. Believe it or not Jews are still human, and quite possibly children of God, even in their depraved state.
You need to speak to more people brother -especially those not in the US or UK
George, whoever you are responding to, you are wrong.

your eloquence is heartwarming and humbling Roger....brilliantly stated
Beautifully put, Roger. We’ve spent long enough allowing the horrors of the Holocaust to excuse Israel’s actions.
That is well said George. Could you mail a copy to Minister Wong, because every time she opens her mouth something pro Israel comes out.

Minister Wong, you are confronted by the greatest moral dilemma of our time and fail every time you speak.
Not my foreign minister.
Hi Ted I’m sure I’ll try my best to do so.
Bravo to Iran. Israel needs consequences for it's reckless warmongering.
It’s true, but they are relentless. In Haaretz today is a news update about Germany preparing for an “Iranian” attack on Israeli and Jewish sites.

israel expected everyone to just carry on believing the false narrative that they are always the victim, even when they’re the only ones dropping bombs on other countries.
It’s about time someone took Israel down.
Keep dreaming! Your kind has tried for 3000 years and failed and will fail again.
You’re a monkey - Zionism is a political ideology that’s only been in existence for 130 years. You’re not semites, you’re eastern europeans -poles, ashkenazi jews - zionism the cancer, the destroyer of humanity
I dunno the romans did a pretty bang up job of destroying israel
There are a lot of good Jewish people worthy of respect. Too bad you’re not one of them Eric.
Nobody seems to like you Eric, and the reason is simply because you’re a fucking deranged lunatic nazi zionist pig! 🐖🐖🇮🇱 You can just
GO FUCK YOURSELF, PIG

To be clear & succinct, entities in the middle east & eastern Europe are fighting western Evil.
I hope you’re right George but it feels too soon to be flagging this particular shift.
In the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia etc it’s business as usual. Starmer is sending military assets to the region.
Hasn’t the Global South has always been skeptical of the West’s geopolitical machinations?
This is good on the crisis

Exactly, George. Only the fully propagandized are cheering for Israel. Twenty months of genocide will do that.
Apparently it doesn't matter.
We will make money anyways.
Nope… I don’t think so… you have and continue to lose credibility and support… most of us didn’t care but many of us are just sick of it…
Yes! K's of people marching all over the world. The People are reacting demonstrating.
