Targetted military installations, Israel said. But seems they instead hit residential apartment complexes. So, yet another war crime.

    Well this is Israel’s big skillset. They are a culture organized around the oppression and murder of innocents.

    Well, I never said they were. They aren’t the only ones being targeted. The kind of pedantic excuse crafting that you’re doing right here, is the kind of nonsensical rationalization that is always deployed when that vicious, violent, predatory nation does what it always does.

    But like, did you see how menacing the curtains looked?!?

    I sent a screenshot of that to my people earlier - highlighting the discrepancy. It’s astounding how blatantly the media carries water for them.

    I hate to sound like I'm defending Israel, but it's possible Iran shot down some of their missiles, which have to go somewhere. It's looking like the vast majority of the strikes were aiming for military targets.

    If you shoot down a missle it shouldn't explode on impact and cause massive building damage like we are seeing in the photos. The largest thing you should see is like a street sign sticking into a building wall. It's more likely the missiles missed if we are giving credit, but I doubt it. We'll see when 3 days of this shit ends and what targets ended up being hit

    If a missile, ballistic or otherwise, is intercepted no the missile will not simply be diverted it will be compromised by the interceptor.

    The more complex the warhead the more likelihood an interception will neutralize it.

    Even a JDAM or other simple bomb if it is intercepted in the air, is now set upon a path where the explosive potential is dismantled and exploited over time.... in a great rushing of empty air... not a single, mighty bang at the instant the warhead touches the roof of a school or home.

    The most extreme example is a nuclear bomb, which is usually treated in pop culture as a type of bomb you have to be VERY careful not to bump into too hard.. but that actually totally misunderstands the terror of a nuclear bomb, the detonation sequence of a nuclear bomb has to go off like a finely tuned wristwratch starting up, something smashing into a nuclear bomb with great velocity and momentum will simply dismantle the wristwratch into possibly radioactive pieces, but they are harmless relative to the careful orchestrated opening to a show that was thankfully permanently cancelled by the interception.

    They targeted military leaders in those apartments. So still military targets of some sort.

    No. When a military attacks a civilian structure like that they have to prove they acted proportionally, and that they acted to minimize casualties of innocents. Israel never provides that proof and they do this all the time, so absent that poof they are legally war crimes. Its well established law. There is no "of a sort" -- theres war crimes and not war crimes. Israel commits war crimes and this was yet another war crime. They cant just pretend any amount of dead civilians near a "target" is just fine. Thats not how any of this works. It'd be the same war crime if they blew up a stadium full of people to kill one man.
