Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.
“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones.”
Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.
“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.
Do they do that for no reason, or because said children do things like attack them? Israel has been under attack from Palestinians for the last hundred or so years, If Palestinians want to change that situation they should pacify and make their own court systems so they wouldn’t be subjected to Israel’s.
At present this is not a genocide no matter how much you repeat the phrase. Hamas is not a protected group under genocide statutes.
I support Israel achieving meaningful self-defense goals, in this case, deposing Hamas. If they are forced to stop before this is achieved, it only helps to keep Hamas in power which is worse for both Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas and intifada has been the source of all of Gaza’s suffering.
