    short note that presstv.ir is an iranian-run newspaper, so let’s better wait for confirmation from the UN or somebody less biased in this affair. still very interesting news though, and definitely imaginable.

        Weird I wonder what Israel did to deserve those. Oh right settler colonialism and apartheid and most recently ethnic cleansing and genocide.

          the only genocide in history where the population grows the only ethnic cleansing where the “sufferers” are actually given more territory

          • Given more territory? You can’t be serious. The UN partition plan left Palestinians with less than 50% of their original homeland. The 1967 borders left them with less than 25% and the Oslo Accords left them with a fraction of the West Bank which was divided into areas A, B and C. Their territory has been shrinking since the UN partition plan.

                Very interesting, since if you ever visit Israel‘s second biggest boot-licker (Germany), you would often read on these golden stones they added after the holocaust that the persecuted jews escaped to Palestine. Are you so far deep up your own ass?

                Here is a picture I took, in case you never left your backyard, where it says on multiple stones that the jews escaped to Palästina, the german name for the country Palestine, which unlike „Israel“ is older than your grandma.

                LOL, I’m rolling over here. It’s just the most easily debunked, brain dead Zionist propaganda from this one.

                “Constable, this man murdered my husband!”

                “Murder, eh? I see here you’re not actually married, just a… civil union, whatever that is. I don’t recognize that, so nothing wrong here, nothing to see, let’s all move on.”

    You mean that a government with one of the most well funded intelligence services in the world, knew that an attack was coming from a region they completely control, from a manufactured rebel group they partly fund. And they let this attack happen, and their citizens die and used it as a casus belli to raze, and ethnically cleanse said region because they want to completely colonize and claim it as their own?

    That’s definitely a first in the history of humanity and I’m utterly shocked, really!

      Also they let the attack continue for 6 hours before showing up with forces despite being a 1 hour drive from their capital city and probably even closer to military bases. With a population that all serves in the military in their youth and many that proudly walk around armed, how did it take so long to organize a counter?

    I’ve taken this for granted since the beginning… It seems incredibly suspect that such a powerful intelligence apparatus could not have known about such a wide spread attack.

      Egypt warned them months ahead.

        US intelligence confirmed within a week that Egypt had warned them repeatedly, and again a few days before the attack. So even if they missed it themselves(which is highly unlikely), they at a very minimum ignored the warnings.

        And when the PM quickly called that “fake news”, it should have been a pretty strong indication for most people.

    I will go one step further. Most wars are started with a false flag operation.

    This is my conspiracy theory with no evidence- 9/11, this thing, Pearl Harbor were all inside jobs. It is not that far fetched to think that governments would kill their own people to justify a war because they kill their soldiers anyways.

    Pearl Harbor, 9/11… for anyone outside of America/the West these people work in very predictable ways. It works too, so why not?
