    If they’re actually telling the truth about ‘precise military targets,’ and I’m not confident of that, this is not as bad as I had feared.

    Not good, but not as bad as I had feared, which was a much more massive retaliation.

    Now we just have to hope things don’t keep escalating.

      Sorry to say that but escalation is the only way to stop Israel and it’s genocidal campain

        Stopping a genocide by potentially killing far more people than the genocide is killing doesn’t seem like a very good alternative.

          When in history a colonized power was stopped without ton of civilians dying because of the colonizer refusal for peace? Are you telling me that for example that India shouldn’t have resisted the British empire because 100 millions Indian died? I wish there was a world where peace happen without sacrificing a single person, but that’s not the reality.

            When did I say there shouldn’t be resistance?

            Resistance to genocide and an escalating war between two nuclear powers are very different things.

            If you think Iran actually gives a shit about Palestinians and what Israel is doing to them, you’re wrong.

              The Usa and other allies won’t stop supporting Israel politically and military, Palestine can’t beat Israel alone, it need support from other countries . I don’t hear people calling for not escalating against Russia and rightfully so. Both Israel and Russia are occupiers.

              Yes Iran doesn’t really care about Palestinians but their interests align with supporting armed groups against Israel

                You don’t seem to get it. There won’t be a Palestine if this war keeps escalating. Because Iran will annihilate it along with Israel.

                Believe it or not, Palestine doesn’t have a giant radiation shield.

                Also, the idea that millions of dead Israelis and Iranians even if nukes aren’t used is worth it because of Palestine is extremely ethically messed up.

                    Wait… so now your argument is that in order to stop Gaza’s destruction, Gaza has to be made unlivable in a nuclear war?
