Some 400 rockets were launched onto Israel on Tuesday night by Iran, The Jerusalem Post understands, following rocket alert sirens that blared throughout the country.

So far, 4 people were reportedly killed during the aerial attacks, and there have been two direct hits, one of which was in Tel Aviv.

Iran launched the wave of attacks after the IDF announced on Monday night that it had begun limited ground operations in Lebanon.

    So, Warsaw ghetto uprising during WW2 when subjugated poles rose up and began killing their nazi prison guards. You would call this a both sides is wrong situation?

    And if not, I see no reason for you not to consider the palastinians with the same ideals as that of the poles.

    And if so, I respect your pacifism.

      Don’t give this bad faith actor the opportunity to claim they’re anything more than the whataboutism troll that they are.

      Why do I have to choose sides to believe that killing people is wrong?

      I see your point with WWII, but that’s not this situation. I would personally never kill anyone, it’s against my ideals. No fire burns that hot inside me.

        I get that, like I said, I respect the pacifism, but can you at least not accept the validity of self defence in the face of genocide? Even if you were to accept that you yourself never could bring yourself to that? I took don’t believe I could kill a person over it, but I do not blame those who have been pushed to that point of that makes sense

          Self-defense, non-violence are clearly not the same thing as pacifism. I can agree to that. But then the view of victim can be awfully grey. And thank you for not being rude and trying to understand without judgement.
