can't wait to hear about how Israel has a right to respond to Iran's unprovoked aggression

I hate that you're right. There will be one news segment where someone mentions "you know, Israel did bomb their embassy a week back" and they'll be called a terrorist sympathizer and blacklisted from media

Given that we’ve now born witness to six months of Israel exterminating children (on top of the decades of extermination before that), one has to wonder how much anyone is going to believe this. And yet…

The Iranian missiles struck an orphanage in the middle of a military base

They already got me, I completely missed the news about the embassy bombing. Happened on April Fool's day?

Attacking an embassy is considered an act of war by International law so Iran is fully within their right to attack Israel if they feel like it

Do you know if international law permits declaration of war to stop a genocide? Does the UN have to approve South Africa’s statement for that law to apply?

that would fall on Intervention which is considered illegal in most cases unless its by invitation, request or Humanitarian intervention which i think it falls on since is

the use or threat of military force by a state (or states) across borders with the intent of ending severe and widespread human rights violations in a state which has not given permission for the use of force.

you would need the UN via the ICJ would have to approve South Africa's case of Genocide in order to have an authorized intervension but other countries have use the HI without the support of the UN Security council like during the NATO intervention in Kosovo

Okay, so the world has a chance to something very funny and very legal.

Is this another “Russia is about to attack Ukraine” situation? The CIA wins either way. If Iran “attacks,” then people think that the CIA was right. If Iran refrains, then it’s obviously because they’re terrified of Israel.

I personally think the consequences would be too great, but I thought that about Ukraine as well.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And just like Ukraine it’s either do it now or submit to the west forever.

Yeah I don't think there will ever be a better time to put their foot down.
