So Iran’s mullah regime can go jump off a cliff as far as I’m concerned (and the sooner the better for the sake of the Iranian people) but it’s amazing to read articles in Western media where it’s not even mentioned that Iran retaliated because Israel bombed their freaking embassy.
Also, little reminder: Israel – hand in hand with its buddies, the US, UK, Germany… – is busy carrying out the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Also, contrary to what you might be reading, I don’t think Iran’s attack was a failure at all. Clearly they got some very valuable data out of it and, beyond that, I’ve seen estimates that it cost Israel and its allies over a billion dollars to thwart the attack while it cost Iran around 10% of that to stage it. The only way Israel & co. could have lost more money more quickly is if they’d hired Elon Musk as CEO.
"Last week #Ireland announced it would intervene in South Africa’s landmark international court of justice case against #Israel by attempting to widen the definition of #genocide to include blocking aid."
“Clearly an entire population is being impacted here not just through the #bombing but through #starvation. We’ve experienced #famine, we know what it’s like in our psyche”

Today in Labor History March 28, 1892: French anarchist, Ravachol, was arrested for blowing up the homes of two government officials. His attentat was in response to the police murders of 9 workers, who had been demonstrating for the eight-hour-day, on May 1, 1891, and for the Clichy Affair, that same day, when anarchists were arrested and tortured by police.
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
It was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses.
“We were not interested in killing operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
