    I saw an Israeli woman crying because the house that was GIVEN to her blew up. And I can’t but sit back and sip my tea. As I said. Karma will do what karma does.

      Headline writers believe there are two genders: pilots and female pilots.

      Iran doesn’t exactly treat women very well either…and that’s a huge understatement.

        i am very much for a more humane govt there and against medieval islamic culture but iran are saints when compared to israel. israeli snipers have been shooting pregnant women for years and wearing tshirts about it with “one shot two kills”

        israel is full of the most disgusting humans on earth who will murder a kids family infront of him then shoot him in legs two days later. all because they tried to save some olive trees which are their only source of livelihood.

        and israelis do it just because they can and won’t face any consequence for it.

          Ah but you see, that line only works when it’s used by a lib. The same standard does not apply to them!

          There’s absolutely no need to read books like “Do Muslim Women Need Saving?” for a better understanding on why Western media’s portrayal of Muslims is the way that it is, why do so when it’s much easier to regurgitate unfounded, fabricated, downright mythological what-is-practically Western projections on to populations that they deem “uncivilized”, all at the comfort of doing so from your own couch!

          spoiler

          To the lurkers, if this was somehow not obvious, /s.

              you weren’t going to read anything anyway that so much as humanizes the Global South, let alone Muslim women.

            it’s beyond me how people can feel bad for one but not the other. Feeling bad for neither or both, that I can understand.

    People forget Iran is still one of the largest countries and has access to Russia, China and global south resources even if the west denies their existence

    Absolutely hilarious how the US bet the farm on this tech, and the first time it was tested against a serious military it turned out not to actually work. Who could’ve guessed.

    Guessing Israel wants to use that stealth capability while it can before Trump causes the program to shutter and leaks shit to Russians dChina, who’d eventually share with Iran. Flex the muscle while you can, before the cat is out of the bag (or some other mixed metaphor)

      Initialen reports said Iranian army confirmed it. So far no updates. Usually when it is a dud there is no followup.

      Hiding this post for now unless more confirmation comes out.
