A Battered Iran Signals It Wants to De-Escalate Hostilities With Israel and Negotiate

I can't see anything in there that supports the contention that Iran wants to annihilate Jews or Judaism. A distinction without a difference, the same as all the people chanting "From the River to the Sea" say that they're only opposed to Zionists, not Jews.

If you believe the statements from Iran ...

Unlike UM, I believe in evaluating the source, as well as the information, and the above linked YouTube clip is a classic demonstration of why that is important. I think that I wasn't clear. I don't consider the source as to facts . Statements/allegations by Hamas or the IDF are not facts in and of ...

Of course AI is not always accurate. As I said, i evaluate the information, not its source. Do you have any information or evidence (with source) that part of what I posted is inaccurate?

That looks like an AI assisted Google search opinion.

It is. I never care about the source of information as long as it's true/accurate.

Did someone say something about tunnels under hospitals?

Sometimes it's less what you say and more what you do.

It seems that, along with North Korea, Israel does not want the world to know just how many nukes it has. As a general rule, no country wants others to know precise details about its armaments.


So nobody knows for sure except Israel. Would be interesting to know where and how much weapons grade ...

Hopefully some Iranians are beginning to consider the possibility that their never ending war on Israel may carry more danger than it's worth.

Anyone here read Andy Borowitz? One of his headlines last week:

Zelensky Offers To Broker Peace Deal Between Trump And Musk

Israeli strikes on Gaza schools used as civilian shelters are part of deliberate strategy, say sources. Yes, but it's Hamas that is causing these deaths. Hamas is using civilians as shields, as it has since the beginning. Hospitals, schools, and the like become legitimate targets when terrorists ...

So out of a claimed 180 + deaths so far less than 20 have attributed to deliberate targeting! Kind of blows the deliberate targeting propaganda out of the water. No - a rational conclusion would be that (at least) 17 targeted deaths supports the contention of deliberate murder of media. But you ...

Compared to Hamas? Hamas only allows reporters in whom it approves, and even then it completely controls what they report and how they report it. That seems to be a very good argument to allow independent reporting, to counter the Hamas narrative.

Of course, it may also inconveniently throw a ...

Now some need to question why Hamas hero's are shooting "poor starving civilians" who are only seeking to feed their families by looting massive food stocks from UN run warehouses. Yes, but those questions are unlikely to be asked. Particularly when the IDF is determined to control the entire ...

BA, Air France and its ptnr KLM must be some of the worst passenger experiences possible. You seem to have an experienced remarkably limited number of airlines. An example of a single airline that is significantly worse than any of those three is TAROM airlines and it is probably the least good, I ...

Yes, but those questions are unlikely to be asked.

Pathetic little response from a little man who still refuses to believe that the Hamas are not fighting a just cause. Hamas is not fighting a just cause. Regardless of what went on before the October invasion (a separate discussion), kidnapping and torturing civilians, by itself, removes Hamas from ...

Not me Pratty, was on the very pro-Hamas BBC News and its so bloody obvious its not the IDF. How cute, that you now find a video that suits your narrative, and all of a sudden it becomes the gospel truth. I haven't seen the video, but there's also this photo, obviously not an IDF soldier with the ...
