Iranian missiles have slammed into Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and its slaughter and maiming of thousands of Lebanese civilians. Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ missile defence system appears to have been nowhere in sight:
Western politicians and media are claiming that the missiles missed their targets and did little damage. Meanwhile, Israelis are posting videos on social media showing large fires and infrastructure damage.

Netanyahu will have to explain how this could happen and where were the Yanks
Reality is its still only a limited response
Next time (after Israel’s response) it’ll be the hypersonics. Get the popcorn ready!
1.These will be aimed at military targets.
2.If Iran is using its better missiles then many might get through though “Subtle BBC propaganda” (as called by the late John Pilger) claims that “Interceptions heard in Tel Aviv.”
3.One hopes the situation is retrievable if the Occupation Force withdraws its troops from the sovereign nation it has invaded then Iran might feel this job done and is the end of this operation.
And if this can be resolved quickly then might be hope for Palestine too?
And Iran has forewarned USA Personnel in the region.
But with a lack of heavyweight Western Statesmen/women the worry is that an escalation could lead to the lumpen US/UK & European Leaders deciding to pile in on the side of the Zionist Occupation Force possibly leading to the loss of millions of diverse working class peoples lives; and all for Western profit seeking as well as from arms sales also from other peoples land, gas, oil, & possibly a new canal.
Yours in hope of Peace.
I turned off the Zionist BBC when it started treating us to the world view of alleged common criminal and alleged war criminal Netayahu. Where else would you get someone who, with warrants out for their arrest would be given a top spot to air their dick views on the BBC – unopposed and unquestioned? What the hell is wrong with our country?
