    Aren’t they mostly freaking out because this could be the start of this getting much worse?

      ikr? who woulda thought western support for indiscriminate bombing of civilians and land takeover could be start of something much worse? It should have totally gone similar to US invading Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Without consequences.

      but you think now’s the start, huh?

        Never said things aren’t bad right now. Not sure how ya even got there? Things are absolutely disgusting and everyone supporting this can rot in fucking hell. I am saying people are freaking out at this because, as bad as things are now, they can always get fucking worse.

        The realpolitik on this has been going on since before you and I have been born. You might say this started with the 1948 Nakba, but it obviously goes further back to the inception of the Holy Lands as a concept. The lands and the seas on its coastlines have been poisoned with the worst fate possible: there are many groups of humans that desire it.

      Not really. Iran declared their retaliation complete. Netanyahu took out the IRGC commander he was going for in the embassy attack. There’s no reason to expect this to escalate.

      Shame they didn’t freak out earlier. Maybe before the Israelis decided it would be fun to start bombing embassies and other countries for no reason.
