Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

    I mean … Good. Fuck Israel. I hope the entire country goes without water. And food. And medicine. And weapons. And electricity. Take the fucking air from their lungs if you can

        The article stated that this could set a precedent for Iran to strike Israel’s desalination plants, and it is real relied on desalination for up to 70% of its water

          You provided zero context for that quote in the first statement and it looked like you simple were commenting on the title, which of course refers to the current real scenario in which the US and Israel did another war crime.

      It’s understandable to be pissed at Israel for what they do to Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, but just like the critics of this very dick move: killing civilians is not going to solve anything. It just creates more resentment and hate.

        killing civilians is not going to solve anything.

        Israel has a draft, both genders.
        Most israelis support the Gaza genocide.
        “Civilians” are a minority over there.

          When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the “special operation to de-nazify Ukraine” narrative. Some still do today.

          When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.

          It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.

          Israel is not a special place with people fundamentally different from the rest of the world. People are pretty much the same everywhere, and propaganda works everywhere.

            A lot of Western media believed it until the day of the invasion.
