What peace talks? The ones where for over a year Iran refused to deescalate their nuclear war program and the now Europe range ballistic missiles?


You are lying, they have been trying to avoid this war in any possible way. But Israel wanted this war before they lost the support of the USA population (that it's happening fast) or they have a less accommodating USA president.


I agree about Israel fast losing support among the general public here but the idea of a less accommodating executive or legislative branch in the US for Israel is unthinkable. Not unless the system is changed from the ground up in dramatic fashion. The two most relevant branches of government in this country are completely beholden to Israel and anybody denying it is a zionist shill.


I bet al Jazeera won't mention that Hamas used thermite grenades to evaporate people hiding in shelters on their invasion on October 7th. Propaganda sure is a scary tool of war...


I always find it interesting that these conversations get flooded with new accounts making false equivalencies. Thermite grenades (~500g of explosive material) are not going to evaporate people like a 2000kg thermobaric weapon would. You might even say that Israel has more of an expectation of precision and reduction of civilian causalities given they have precise munitions.


It's equivalent in the results not the technical specs. In Israel they spent weeks sifting through the charred remains of the house to find at least a tooth of a child. People were gone on both sides. It's just for Palestinians most likely they are not going to get answers because it's impossible to sift trough millions of tons of earth and garbage. Germans have 2 million soldiers still MIA after 70 years of recovery efforts!


In what world is Oct 7th and the resulting war equivalent for both sides?


That would be a reasonable question if the resulting war had been started de novo by Israel instead of it being a defensive war intended to prevent another October 7.


I never compared a one day massacre and the following 2 year war. It was equivalence of missing bodies and the difficulty of finding remains.
