    If you cheer on Iran’s strikes on Israel, remember that in addition to Jewish Israelis, Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims & Christians could lose their lives in the attack. Iranian projectiles endanger Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Amman, Lebanon, Syria & Iraq. War’s not an online game

      Why would I care about them more?

      Iranian projectiles endanger Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Amman, Lebanon, Syria & Iraq.

      As do Israeli ones. And of course these are all rounding errors compared to what else is happening in Gaza.

        I find it truly amusing when the Ceasefire Now crowd celebrates future attacks.

        Isreal doesn’t fly many air to ground missles. They use airplanes.

            You see. I remark that missiles have landed in a lot of places putting a lot of different people in jeopardy. The response is “Isreal does too”. Then i inform that Israel doesn’t fly missiles. Comprende

                  I read your comments several times. I don’t want you to explain it again. I want you to explain it better.

                  For example you say “Israel doesn’t use many air to ground missiles. They fly airplanes.” By definition air to ground missiles are launched from airplanes. Since this statement makes no sense, what did you mean to say?

                    Bottom line is Isreai won’t throw missles all over the middle east, because they don’t use air to ground missles

                    For example you say “Israel doesn’t use many air to ground missiles. They fly airplanes.” By definition air to ground missiles are launched from airplanes. Since this statement makes no sense, what did you mean to say

                    Missles fly. By definition they all come the air. Where they are supposed to land is what is important. An airplane can lauch an air to air or a air to ground or an air to ship. The same is true on the ground. Isreal launches air to air through the Iron Dome, but what it doesn’t do, as Iran did last night, is launch air to ground from a launcher

          I was not celebrating future warfare. I was hoping to avoid it, and you or anyone else can read it.

      Some retaliation seems necessary. Unless someone hits back the israeli bullying will continue. Bidens refusal to tell israel to stop trying to start WW3 is what got us here to begin with.

      The Iranian strikes were targeted on israeli air bases. Ironically one person that was critically injured was a Palestinian girl hit by the shrapnel of an interception.

      While sad, the Iranian attack did achieve its goals. Create an expensive interception barrage for israel while not resulting in major escalation.
