EU isn't "searching for a spine" they condone it as well.

You saw a report from SCMP on a different report from an Israeli Newspaper, in which the Chinese embassy within Israel denies the prior reporting with the statements

"The embassy finds the contents of the report to be incorrect. As a matter of principle, China firmly opposes the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, and continuously strengthens its enforcement capabilities regarding non-proliferation."

The embassy further stressed that "China never exports weapons to countries engaged in warfare and maintains strict controls on the export of dual-use items. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China upholds a cautious and responsible approach to the export of military-related goods."

Why is the reporting of Miriam Adelsons Israeli Newspaper more trustworthy to you than Middle East Eye?

"U.S. President George Bush today signed into law the American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The new law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague. This provision, dubbed the "Hague invasion clause," has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands.

In addition, the law provides for the withdrawal of U.S. military assistance from countries ratifying the ICC treaty, and restricts U.S. participation in United Nations peacekeeping unless the United States obtains immunity from prosecution. At the same time, these provisions can be waived by the president on "national interest" grounds. "

It's material support for a country under attack from the west and their genocidal puppet, when they could have just as easily refused them.

Idk why y'all never want to give China props unless they're doing Trotskyist permanent revolution or whatever.

If they've already shot down F-35s with inferior/older equipment doesn't that show that they already have the systems capable of effectively defeating F-35s?

The only thing I see in that article is that it wouldn't be **as** effective as it **could** be due to their lack of their own fighters and an AEW&C, not that it wouldn't be effective.

Read the amnesty international report finding that Israel is committing genocide and their reasoning.

Which came out while Biden was in office.

TLDR: Yes. It was literally the same Genocide under Biden. You just didn't care then unlike the rest of us.

The Iran situation only ended because America got involved. Israel was running out of air defenses and couldn't establish air superiority over enough of Iran to stop Guerilla style launches despite getting air superiority early on due to their initial surprise opening. Even before we "got involved" with the bombs, most of the missiles that got shot down were shot down by American systems iirc.

If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.

They were literally doing the same genocide under Biden this is denialism.

You are also jumping to conclusions. The only fact is that there was opioids in the flour.

Neither of us know why.

I can't help but believe that the absolutely oppressive and evil genocide regime has resorted to poisoning the populace through the tiny amount of aid they let through.

You choose to optimistically believe that this is the result of smugglers accessing those same few aid sites and using them to smuggle needed medicines.

Idk why you're so dismissive as if this would be beyond the scope of Israeli evil.

You're assuming that the uncrushed ones were the intention and not that there is far more crushed up in the flour and the ones we see didn't get processed.

Opioids are also one of the more common tools of spreading addiction in order to manipulate the people for a reason, it's effective.

The IAEA agency reports information on nuclear projects to western countries. That being their job doesn't change what they do, it just legitimizes it.

After having their nuclear sites targeted thanks to this information being known, Iran probably has little interest in making the same mistake again.

Also their nuclear sites are **utterly destroyed** and they won't be able to do anything nuclear related for **years**, so what would they investigate anyway.

There's a difference between expecting some form of attack at any moment and knowing the strategy and extent of opening attack to expect (internal Mossad agents activation to sabotage systems prior to a massive bombardment). Iran can now go into overdrive purging Mossad cells and account for the targets and strength of strike to expect next time, they aren't Hezbollah, so they couldn't assume they would get the same *form* of opening attack.

Israel didn't *destroy*, but they did *disable* the ability to use missile launchers in certain regions, the reason the missile barrages were limited to around 20 at a time towards the middle-end was because Iran had to resort to Guerilla tactics, using smaller launch forces to strike then moving them back to safety before Israel could take them out. The capacity wasn't destroyed, but it couldn't be used to its full extent, because using it would open it up to getting destroyed.

How can you say there was clearly no punishment for Israel when we were seeing bombs dropped on Tel-Aviv, Trading ports, and military targets, and now the people realizing they **can** be hit back and they didn't even get what they wanted. Israel *wants* us/their citizens to think there was no punishment and they achieved all their goals, but the truth is blatant.

Israel wasn't running perfect defense and avoiding Iranian hits, then just when their defense was weak a ceasefire happened. The opposite if anything, Israel kept taking hits and only when the US showed willingness to be involved directly militarily to save them did Iran agree to ceasefire.

Obviously Iran didn't end the Israeli regime, but they also withstood the Israeli aggression aimed at ending their regime.

I'm seeing a lot of defeatism about what should be a celebratory event for those who oppose the Israeli regime. We could build off of this moment.

Irans nuclear capabilities were *totally* destroyed, why would they need to continue to cooperate with a nuclear investigation agency, which *totally* doesn't leak information to the west.

It's not the actual image itself that stops you.

Just like advertisements aren't designed to make you run out to buy a burger *right now*.

It's the cultural/long term education.

Of course rising prices also helps, it's harder to justify the more expensive it is.

Shiites*

Iran was shocked by a massive opening blow in the middle of negotiations which allowed Israel to disable many launcher sites and take air superiority in those regions preventing Iran from accessing their full capacity.

Regardless of this, Israel still just couldn't handle sustained pressure from Irans remaining weapons.

Israel started the war with the goal of regime change and destroying Irans nuclear capabilities, they did neither.

If the war starts back, Iran will still have the capacity to overwhelm Israeli defense and Israel will have to rely on another surprise attack, which is much less likely now that Iran has seen their strategy for doing such.

It's in no way an L for Iran, much less a massive one.

How is he getting played by the imperialist faction agreeing to up their imperialism budget (specifically what he demanded) and praising him?

Yeah, so delusional to think that having the other side agree to a ceasefire without achieving the goals they started the war over is a victory...

Another person hating .ml for stating truths which oppose their fantasy world view.
