Then how are they a threat?
Donald Trump is an incompetent idiot. Doesn't mean he's not a threat to anyone.

Meanwhile Iran is always promising to ethnically cleanse Jews from the Middle East constantly chanting "death to Israel" and they call what they do "Operation True Promise" when targeting civilian population centers while saying to Israeli civilians "Either you must choose 'gradual death' in hellish life in shelters or save your lives from the 24-hour missile rain and flee as soon as possible from the lands usurped by your ancestors, so that you may survive." I guess that's a sign of a healthy society?
There's also Operation Rising Lion. Iran's flag used to have a Lion on it. Israel doesn't seem to want to destroy Iran unlike Iran's "True Promise" to wipe Israel off the map. But you can take "Rising Lion" to mean they want Iran to rise from being a country run by authoritarian religious nutjobs.
These are some really wild and generalizing claims about Iran and Iranian people and honestly you should be ashamed of yourself.
As someone on the left in the US I want to make it clear I think you are behaving in a pathetic way and yet I would never draw conclusions about Israelis or Israel the way you just casually did about Iranians even though Israel is committing a Genocide Of Palestinians. There are many Iranians with a wide variety of views on Israel, but no.. they do not desire a genocide of Israelis the way Israelis desire a genocide of Palestinians that is the ugly truth and yet even as I perceive it I know there is nothing inherent to Israelis that makes them incapable of seeing the humanity of Palestinians because I know all too well how easy it is to fall into the same awful mindset as someone from the US.
This is ALL a choice about how we flatten other groups into simple narratives. The most important thing about leftism to me is never forgetting that.
I come from a war-like society, I can respect the call to war when it is done out of a genuine desire to defend what you hold dear, Israel's call to war is not a call to war it is a call to genocide and it reimagines the atrocities of US colonization reflected and reanimated into a modern middle eastern conflict. I will not stand for it, I will resist the dehumanization of all people, Iranians, Palestinians, Israelis, Muslisms, Jews... we are people alike.
Also there is NO evidence that Iran has been pursuing producing a nuclear weapon for.. decades?

If that's your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.
So Israel subjugates, kicks people from their homes, and guns them down en mass at peaceful protests for years. Then Hamas lashes back out in what we call a terrorist attack. Then Israel uses it as a reason to further their subjugation and commit genocide. The Houthis say they will shoot at any countrys ships who is trading with Israel unless they stop their massacre. And you're saying that it would have been a better response for Iran to just bomb Israel without notice. Maybe you're right. Most of the world should have done something to stop what Israel was doing, but most of it was about putting pressure on the U.S. to say this isn't worth us spending money on, and convince us to tell Israel to stop or we'd cut aid and sanction them. If Iran attacked in defense of the Palestinians, Israel would once again have made it out that they were somehow the victim. They aren't. The only reason the "2 state solution" never came to be is because Israel made sure it would never happen.

Clearly Iran and Palestine
Financing multiple group of terrorists which biggest victims are the own countries the terrorist come from sounds pretty evil
You know Israel escorted cases full of millions of dollars in cash into Gaza to Hamas every month. It was a well known thing. So if funding Hamas was funding terrorism, Israel was well aware and supporting it.

If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

And religion. Quite some Christians love Israel, no matter what, because the Bible. Yes, it's a fantastic argument. And as long as the victims are muslims, they'll support Israel. If you're not disgusted by the wars in the old testament, why would you in present day?

The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.
The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.
The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.
The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.
Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.
Just when I feel like dystopian news can't really disturb me anymore...
Leaving this totally unrelated article about Palantir and Israel here for absolutely no reason at all...
How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:
A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.
Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.
Commentary:
You're linking to the Times of Israel. Since the news outlet operates in Israel, it is subject to censorship by the IDF, and they have chosen to use their power to censor the article and omit weapon types.
If you want information about assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, get their list from Wikipedia and google each of their names, looking for descriptions.
My guess: guided missile or drone strikes. All the assassinations happened at a time of Israeli air strikes over Iran. Whatever weapon was used, was deployed from airplanes. Given the high profile of the targets, Israeli intelligence agencies did their job this time (in Gaza, they seem to be feeding their troops low quality AI slop).
-
Jesus they killed everyone in the apartment complex including their kids how is this not a war crime?!?
From my reading of the article, that was a hypothetical. Not to say it hasn't happened multiple times but I'm pretty sure that "may" was doing some heavy lifting.

That's BS. The king would never need to sleep under a bridge and if he chose to the police would be there to kick out the homeless people and make sure the king is safe for the night.
That's the point of the saying. The law can be crafted to treat everyone equally, while only benefitting the king.
Edit: It's why the billionaire media is so angry at the concept of "equity" and "wokeness". Both terms help us beggars discuss our situation, and both might threaten the king's throne, if we realize how simply the laws could be adjusted for what we want from them, rather than for what the king wants.

Surely this will work wonders, they'll never recover from this. Also they won't have any incentive, because why would you even consider building a bomb in such a friendly environment? Why would there need to be an axis of resistance, let them surrender unconditionally like Trump suggested, because clearly Israel and the US are to be trusted. If only these damned Iranians remained at the negotiating table while we bombed the shit out of them unprovoked. I guess they don't want peace. /s

What part of that completely factual statement don't you believe?
The fact USA exists justifies what Israel does.
Our past atrocities do not justify current atrocities. Sorry.

You literally just posted paragraphs of bold text with wild and generalizing claims about Israel and Israeli people. Someone needs to be ashamed of themselves here, and maybe exercise a little self awareness?
I am clearly talking about the Ayatollah regime's officially stated goals, not the Iranian people. I'm also mentioning the opportunity for Iranians to have a better government. It's obviously up to the Iranian people if they want a better government, I think we all know at this point that regime change has to come from within a country.
As someone on the left
Since you're someone on the left, you you seemed to have picked up the nasty habit of feeling entitled to speak on behalf of other people. If you're not Iranian please don't act like you know what's best for them. That's a very "white man's burden" mentality that's become prevalent in the left.
The oppressive authoritarian regime that's ruling over Iran has been weakened. It's up to the Iranian people what they want to do next. It's not up to me or you.

10 assassinations of relatively innocent people simultaneously. Straight out of Walter white’s playbook when he went full villain.

i think the military has been using thiels palintir for at least 10 years already. TRump just made it more obvious, because hes a loudmouth. thiel loved to stay out of the spotlight of the news for many reasons. everytime he was in the news, its never is good for him.
Not just the military. I found out Palantir had a contract with my own city to develop and test their predictive policing technology until 2018.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17054740/palantir-predictive-policing-tool-new-orleans-nopdThe city banned predictive policing and facial recognition tech, then quietly lifted the ban and replaced it with a very concerning ordinance in 2022.
https://thelensnola.org/2022/02/17/mayor-cantrell-moves-to-reverse-bans-on-facial-recognition-predictive-policing-and-other-surveillance-tech/Then it came out that the city wasn't even following the rules they had created in the sketchy ordinance.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/19/live-facial-recognition-police-new-orleans/The private surveillance company using the facial recognition tech (which was created during the time Palantir was still under contract with the city, but is allegedly totally unrelated to Palantir
) couldn't keep providing the real time facial recognition tracking to city police bc WaPo exposed they were violating the ordinance. However, since it's only a city ordinance and they're a private company, they can still provide it to literally anyone else in the city (state police, federal agents, ICE, military).They've already been doing a lot of shady shit to American citizens, and it's naive to just trust that they won't eventually start using these kinds of AI drone weapons on American soil.

Narnia? What an odd name. What did they kill them with, a lion or a wardrobe?

USA is at the core of the Western-Imperialist hedgemony & Israel, Japan & Pakistan gets to have them because they are Pro-Western imperialism
Japan doesn't have nukes though. They don't even allow nukes in their territory. They could make them if they wanted to, they have all the necessary industry to make them, but they don't actually have any.
There's word of sharing nukes with the US, thanks to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and threatening to nuke any nation that tries to help them, but I'm not sure that's actually gone ahead.

Under the rules of war, no. The rules of war does not consider civilians casualties a crime if they happen while targeting military or military support, like weapons manufacturing.
If it were, then you could just fire missiles at your enemies from the tops of apartment buildings and they couldn't do anything about it. Yeah Hamas did do that and did make claims of war crimes whenever they got hit, but not actually a war crime. Because if it were it would encourage every military in the world to use human shields and every war becomes as horrible as the war in Gaza.
What did we say about based takes on Lemmy?

Jesus they killed everyone in the apartment complex including their kids how is this not a war crime?!?
Where did it say that? Are you creating outrage just for the sake of outrage? What's the benefit?
