Palestinian death toll rises to 1500.

This in a few days of bombs and missiles into civilian areas. This is before the ground offensive starts and before or the health system collapses. Two things that are about to happen.

This is likely to result in tens of thousands of deaths and many more due to starvation and disease. This is before we get to life changing injuries, which will be tens of thousands again.

I'm not shedding a tear for the Hama's fighters who targeted civilians but I am for everyone else. If a whole population must be made collectively responsible for the actions of their government then, well I deserve to die. By logical extension, I must be responsible for the Iraq war, Brexit and all the poverty caused by Tory austerity policies.

Do we value all lives equally? If we do, then we should be all be condemning the actions of the Israeli state.

They are proficient in making certain technical things so making nukes is well within their capability. To meet their objective of taking out Israel, they could do it with maybe 6 nukes. Of course they will also take out millions of other groups as well but they would be rid of Israel. And they are not afraid of taking a few nuke hits themselves because Iran is much larger than Israel, so even if they lost 60,000,000 they would still have 29,000,000 left. The Iranians only have to kill 9,000,000 Israelis. It's a numbers game.

@Diotrephes be sad if that every takes place, not just for them .but the world,

@jackrabbit10 The loss of life would certainly be a very bad thing but the overall result might be a good thing because it could show all of the nuclear powers how really destructive nukes are to humanity and the world. It might even get them to destroy all of the thousands they have and convince even the nutcases to live in peace and harmony, thereby saving billions of lives and even the planet.

Iran has no real interest in attacking Israel; it is actually Israel that is the warmonger and has been threatenting to attack Iran for decades. Israel keeps pushing for America to do its dirty work but it is no secret that Israel has engaged in assassinating Iranians.
