I'm getting a completely different story when I click the link. I get something about Iran rejecting ceasefire proposals, but nothing about Israel bombing the gas field.

PartySr@reddit
You can't rape them, and still their land, just poison everything. That's the Israeli creed.
And once again, I can't see see a single Israeli explaining how this saves the Iranians from the hands of the regime. They were so happy at the start of the war, and yelling everyone how they are bombing Iran to remove the regime. Trash people.

Israel is a total psycho regime normalising the worst of humanity. Daily reminders of what a total cancer Israel is on the world.
But hey, at least we can all sing together at Eurovision.
Fk Israel. War mongering fascist genocidal fks.
hiddentalent@reddit
The Israeli government is definitely worthy of criticism. So is the Iranian government. The Jewish Settlers displacing people from their land are definitely worth of criticism. So is Hezbollah. Yet living among all of this are people who are powerless to stop those forces and just trying to live their lives. That's true in every country.
If we are to improve things, we have to stop generalizing entire populations. That honestly is the root cause of all this evil.
Laringar@reddit
When a significant majority of a population is actively in favor of a war of aggression though, that kind of legitimizes criticism of that population. The war is polling at a staggering 93% in Israel. Meanwhile, in the US, it's polling at 37%. Still higher than it should be, but you can't say that Americans overwhelmingly support this the way that Israelis do.
So when someone says that Israelis are "war mongering fascist genocidal fks", that's not coming from nowhere; there's some degree of evidence to support the assertion.

In fairness to Israel, I reckon that if a government put up a billboard in their capital city with a big clock counting down to the destruction of my home and the extermination of my race, I'd be more likely to be onboard with a war against them.
Maximum-Hall-5614@reddit
An illegal occupation by colonizers should be destroyed. There is no defending Israel’s illegal occupation of land belonging to multiple nations.
Counting down the days to the destruction of this terrorist regime that is Israel is an h ironically good thing.
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
I can understand if you think the world would be a better place if we would all just die or whatever, but what I and so many other people find confusing is why there seems to be so much genuine surprise when we don't agree that we should be murdered.
Maximum-Hall-5614@reddit
A State ≠ it’s entire population.
A state is not a living being. It is a political concept.
Stop trying to conflate Israel with Jews. You are only in the company of Neo-Nazis and Zionists.
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
they murder Jewish people all around the world and then their fans still have the audacity to say "we don't have a problem with the population, just a political concept" when they get called out. Nobody in Israel buys this
Maximum-Hall-5614@reddit
Who is “they”?
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
Iran and their proxies
Maximum-Hall-5614@reddit
So far, 23 citizens of Israel have been killed by Iran. Even counting Oct 7, fewer than 1500 Israeli citizens have been killed by Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, and Iran combined.
In the meantime, Israel has killed an estimated 380k Palestinians, >5000 Lebanese, >1500 Iranians.
Tell me more about how it’s Jewish people who are the victims.
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
yeah, they are a weak and pathetic nation. I already know that. Maybe you should try to go tell them that all their attempts to annihilate us are futile, but these past few decades have shown all of these people are just delusional and incapable of learning.
obviously 10/7 should be counted since it was the most significant massacre by Iran's proxies in recent years, but idk why you are pretending it is the only thing they have ever done. everyone always says "this didn't start on 10/7," and you are right, they have been trying to annihilate us for a lot longer. Even if they were so pathetic that they had only ever successfully done one massacre in their 50 year history though, I don't know why you think we should just let them murder us as a participation trophy or whatever.
I love how you guys just invent new numbers everyday. Their own government only claims 75k
I think you need to improve your reading comprehension skills because I asked you a pretty simple question, and it has nothing to do with whatever you have been trying to deflect to. idrc if you don't want to answer my question or whatever, but it is bizare when you are just going around claiming I said random things
helio97@reddit
Have you ever heard of south Africa or Rwanda, Israel is not the first apartheid state. Matter of fact Israel is in a common predicament, you're descendants of settlers in a hostile region, because your official state mantra is that you're superior to the Arabs. Just as in south africa, the destruction of the Jewish supremacist state does not mean that now all Jews are killed or expelled. There just isn't a state that says Jews are the only people with a right to self determination in Palestine anymore. Your people could finally work towards a peace that's not based on total Jewish dominance anymore. Not just because it's good for peace and the Arabs, but because militarism and victim narratives turn people into Nazis.

PartySr@reddit
The root of this evil is the Israeli, and no one else. Stop blaming us when the Israeli are literally supporting the government, the settlements, the terrorists that you call "settlers", the IOF who is literally executing kids. They support the rapes, the torture, the starving, and they see nothing wrong with any of that.
hiddentalent@reddit
I don't blame you for the Ceaușescu regime. But according to your logic I should. The world is nuanced. In order to improve things, we need to be skeptical of the easy narrative and figure out how to move forward.
PartySr@reddit
People fought and died against Ceausescu regime. The Israeli are fully supporting of the actions of their government, army and the terrorists that are terrorizing the Palestinians in West Bank.
There is no nuance here. You are just a Zionists who cries for the Israeli, and see nothing wrong with their actions. You feel 0 mercy for the Palestinians.
hiddentalent@reddit
It's kind of intense to see how internet propaganda has influenced people like you. You are why the "Final Solution" was a thing. You're why Israel and all the things you hate exist.
Because your attitude is so evil that something divergent from history has to happen. Great job, mate! That's why Israel lashes out.
But in your mind, bring on the Zyklon B! At least you can harvest the shoes and golden orthodontic work. You're a horror of a human being.
PartySr@reddit
Yeah, is my fault because Israeli are raping and executing Palestinians in cold blood.
Maximum-Hall-5614@reddit
What the fuck is with people trying to “both sides” this shit.
One party has been the aggressor in all these situations. I don’t give a fuck if there are “valid criticisms” to level against their targets. It is the Zionist regime that has been the aggressor in all these scenarios.
By trying to “both sides” everything you are merely providing justification for the aggression.

ivosaurus@reddit
What religious hate does to a mf
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
this has nothing to do with religion or even being hateful. I personally don't believe in Judaism as a religion and have no ill will towards Iranian people or any other people. However, they are the ones who decided that instead of having a government that cares about developing their own country, they should instead have one that only cares about the death of a tiny country thousands of miles away and a huge country oceans away. They are the ones who have given all of their money to terrorist organizations to massacre Jewish people instead of investing it in their own country. They are the ones who decided that our lives depend on the death of their regime.
Obviously, the average Iranian does not support the IRGC at all. It is terrible that they have to be the ones to suffer based on the actions of a regime that they do not endorse. Everyone would prefer if there was some way to just get rid of the IRGC and put a sane government in charge without harming the people. However, that has failed. The Iranians tried to rise up, and the regime successfully massacred them and quelled the uprisings. Israel has done many targeted assassinations against Iran's government, but that has failed to topple the regime.
If the only option left to hinder Iran's ability to murder us is to destroy their nation, then that is obviously what we will try. This isn't out of hate or religion, but just out of the basic desire to live. I don't understand why outsiders have such a hard time understanding that we don't want to be murdered and try to pretend the war is about everything else. I obviously understand that people from Oceania or whatever who have no personal connection to this conflict might not agree that our lives are valuable, but I don't understand the complete lack of cognitive empathy to not even understand that it is normal to not want to be killed.
ivosaurus@reddit
I think it takes the fervor of religion to keep this sort of hate alive and festering for over a century. Both ways.
Iran wasn't doing shit before the first bombs struck. They're out of water and inflation hitting their economy hard. Then someone decided they needed to start a war with them. Where did those first F35s come from... who has hit their desal plants... Blown up oil infrastructure... 🤔 This is not what the actions of a nation merely trying to survive looks like. Or one that cares about other people's citizens. This is what brings about the lack of empathy.
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
I'm not Muslim and can't speak for the IRGC, but I can say that not believing in Judaism has not done anything to make me want to let Iran murder me, my family, and my entire people.
they had spent decades creating and funding terrorist groups to murder Jewish people all around the world. The fact that they have always been too weak to murder everyone in Israel is an argument as to why we should keep hitting them. Attempts to gaslight me into thinking they wanted to be peaceful or whatever are futile when they have always been explicitly clear about their ambitions. Even now, their missiles have barely killed anyone in Israel. All they can do is try to bully Arabs who hate Jews and harm the economy for the entire world.
yes. they are an awful government who won't do anything to help their people because why do that when you could be spending money trying to murder Jews.
what does it look like then? just idly standing by and letting Iran and their proxies murder us? they were the ones who decided and continue to decide that coexistence is not and will never be an option, so yeah, that means we will fight them.
I'd prefer it if Iranians could live a good life, but you are right that I am not going to choose to die because the implications of that might harm the people who want to kill me. the Israeli government seems to agree with me, and if they didn't, they would be beyond treasonous.
That is how I feel about pretty much every other nation. I don't really hate any group of people, but I would always prioritize the survival of myself and my people over theirs. It is not my fault the government of Iran has decided we can't all just live and be happy.
why does me not wanting Iran to murder me lower your IQ? I don't see the connection between that.

Illustrious-Run3591@reddit
This has nothing to do with religion lol. This all started because in the 50s Iran took its oil back from the UK and nearly bankrupted BP. This is because the west was taking their oil for almost nothing, and Iran took it back.
It's just like when Cuba allowed Russia to set up shop there in the 60s. It has nothing to do with ideology, it is simple geopolitics, countries like Iran, Cuba, North Korea are a warning to the whole world of what happens if you are a less developed country who stands up to America.
GangsterMango@reddit
isn't this their M.O always?
they did this almost to every country in the region
hit the infrastructure, keep hitting until they collapse every school, hospital, gas and electricity and water facilities and when everything is destroyed arm the militias and their proxy factions and its the final death for that country.
look at Libya, Iraq, Syria, and currently Iran and Lebanon
if they can't install a puppet dictator they will destroy that country.
Magjee@reddit
They do it while installing a puppet anyway
beefprime@reddit
It does work, for example in Libya
GR1ZZLYBEARZ@reddit
Uhh Syria wasn’t Israel it was Assad, Iran/Hezbollah and Russia whom destroyed a large part of that country. But yes Libya was an unmitigated disaster.

JConRed@reddit
I'm starting to feel like the war on Iran was started to act as cover for the landgrab in Lebanon.
If Israel had just attacked Lebanon, Iran would have probably intervened. But this way Israel has the USA doing something that serves at the very least as a diversion.
Am I conspiracy-ing here or is my old noggin on a path of sense?
JerryJJJJJ@reddit
Hezbollah should stop attacking Israel. then the war is over in lebanon. Moreover, it was Iran who ordered hezbollah to attack Israel.
recreationalgluttony@reddit
It's both.
Israel doesn't have to expend any troops for Iran anyway, so may as well do a land grab whilst everyone is focused on the U.S. in the Gulf.
GumpyTushy@reddit
As a 50 year old Lebanese person who has lived through the previous occupation(s) and wars with Israel, I am 100% convinced of it.
They had no excuse to escalate, even though they tried to provoke a response during the "ceasefire" with near daily attacks. Unfortunately, Hezbollah, as always, followed the orders of their Iranian masters after Khameini's death and gave Israel exactly what they wanted.
When I get too deep into conspiratorial thinking, I wonder in my rage and despair if they are working together, because both Netanyahu and Hezbollah need an endless war to survive.
Stufilover69@reddit
I think it's not a goal, just an additional benefit.
Iran is the main rival in the region, so Israel has a lot to gain by weakening it. And by selling it as very easy to do, Trump was extremely willing to join in after his "success" in Venezuela. But whether there's actually a successful uprising or whether Iran turns into a second Libya is not that important to Netanyahu, either way it will be less of a threat to him/Israel

Never saw an Israeli saying this. Not doubting you, but I only saw 2 positions: 1. Anti war (very rare, I know) 2. We're killing them, not saving them.

The monarchist propaganda inside of Israel seems to be pretty thick, they sure were getting buy-in from their population with lots of appearances of Pahlavi in media, they talk about as if the guy was internationally important and as if everyone were up to speed to what he comes out saying in interviews.

Israel wants to turn Iran into a failed state like Libya after we decapitated Ghadaffi. At the very least they want to balkanize it so that they don’t have the current cohesion and population base to protect their sovereignty and retaliate against future aggression and their irredentist lebensraum greater Israel project.
CrabUser@reddit
Making Iran unstable is one of their goal.
They also want the fallen of arab of the middle east. In order to drive Iran into suicide with the g.c.c, they choose to attack iran petrochemical plant to escalate the whole thing and push Iran into the corner.

Title is misleading. It should be “Israel hits Iranian petrochemical plant in massive gas fields because mediators float ceasefire proposal.”

Iran has spent decades attacking Israel through its proxies. Israel needs to make that stop. If not permanently, then at least for a very, very long time.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
It’s hilarious watching someone rant about proxies and Iran when Israel has literally armed and funded AQ, internal groups in Iran and the SLA. Israel ran a death camp in Lebanon, literally armed and funded an ISIS group in Gaza and has committed genocide in Gaza. But “duh Iran proxies bad!”

Eh US mediator? Because Trumps got bored of the war and wants out, while Netenyahu has no interest.
And the Iranians know if they agree peace Trump will fuck them over and need to pu ish his little Israel assist. And need to make sure Trumps short term lets bomb them then agree peace wont happen again

My Iranian friend tells me that the entire country supports this, and that they're all universally cheering for Israeli heroes to destroy the regime's energy infrastructure, desalination plants, hospitals and schools as well. But clueless Western redditors know better than the Iranians themselves, apparently, and they'd rather support a regime that murdered 410,000 protestors than just get over their anti-semitism.
Maardten@reddit

captHij@reddit
With respect to this being satire, I have to admit that I had to pause after reading it the first time. I know a number of Iranian expatriates. Their feelings about this are complex, but most are unhappy about the situation. A small minority, though, are unabashedly happy and see this as a valid solution. It is crazy and a bad way to learn things about one's friends that I prefer not to know, but it is a complicated world. The history of Iran is complex.
NearABE@reddit
We should survey American expatriates and gauge support for the regime in USA.
NorthernerWuwu@reddit
Which is the trouble of course. Ex-pats are not exactly a representative sample of a population, they are explicitly those that were unhappy with whatever was going on back home.
Using Iranian, Cuban, Venezuelan or indeed American ex-pats as a proxy for the general population is disingenuous at best and outright manipulation most commonly.
NorthernerWuwu@reddit
To be fair, it does become increasingly difficult to distinguish when official channels are using these talking points as well. That's the nature of satire of course but other than the number of protestors killed (which may reach 410k before they are done!) it does read pretty close to the propaganda itself.
GangsterMango@reddit
I know this is satire but I've seen Hasbara bots repeating this verbatim but unironically.
they keep adding zeroes every new post.
I saw someone couple days ago on x say its "millions" and their hasbara bots are spreading it and acting like they believe it.

I used to admire the israelis. When they pursued and executed war criminals and terrorists, i applauded their efforts.
However, nowadays the choose to carpet bomb civilians and commit war crimes on a daily basis, while accepting and supporting illegal settlers.
How far they have fallen to be no better than Al Qaida, ISIS, Russia or the US
xland44@reddit
As bad as Russia and the US are, organizations such as al qaida, ISIS, taliban are many, many orders of magnitude more evil - these organizations are just limited in capability relative to russia/us/israel
schadenfreudender@reddit
if you go strictly by numbers, al qaida and isis can't hold a candle to the amount of people murdered compared to the us, israel or russia.
xland44@reddit
As i said, this is not for lack of trying. These organizations are limited by lack of technology, funding, manpower, sanctions. I assure you that if ISIS had levels of US power the world would be a very grim place
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
I hate this notion that being weak give someone intrinsic moral goodness. ISIS is evil on a whole other level. Because they are murderous psychos who just want to kill and torture everyone, including other Muslims due to their love of sectarian violence, they will never be able to get anywhere near the power level of Israel, Russia, or the US. They can't kill as many people. This does not make them good, quite the opposite.

Israel desperately wants the power over the Straight of Hormuz that Iran has so that they can take the rest of the world hostage whenever they want and force other countries into compliance with much more insane terms than Iran is giving.
Genuinely, Iran needs to defend its claim over Hormuz because Israel will drive the global economy intro the ground if they can take that from Iran.
Sufficient_Bite_4127@reddit
The ability to blow up ships isn't some super advanced military technology that only Iran has access to. The reason why Israel doesn't just decide to destroy international trade whenever they are upset is because there are economic and geopolitical consequences to that. The reason Iran didn't shut down the straight during the 12 Days War is because China, one their key allies, told them not to. America wouldn't let Israel destroy the global economy for no reason either. It also wouldn't be economically helpful for a country like Israel to cut themselves off from trade. As for the straight of Hormuz specifically, Israeli attacks would have to go over so many countries that I doubt Israel could even hit anything if any of those countries chose to shoot down Israeli attacks. This remains true no matter what happens to Iran.

USA and Israel have used diplomacy as a weapon. What did the Gaza ceasefire achieve? They continue to get bombed. They can't even respect their existing agreements, and indeed, used diplomacy as a ploy while they were actively planning on bombing Iran anyways. While talks were ongoing. It's classic good cop, bad cop, while both have a knife behind their back to stab you, no matter if you sign a "ceasefire", there's no guarantee they'll stop firing. Just ask the fire-bombed people who died in tents in Gaza while that ceasefire was, and still is, "active".
