Trump says he bombed Iran

[Roma]

There is nothing anti-American in their mission and scope unless you attribute their fighting for human rights, antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate with being anti-American, do you?

LOL, it's just like I don't trust anything Bill Gates has his fingers in either.  It might look good on the surface but you know it's evil at the core.  

But hey, it's just one guy's opinion.

Amnesty International you say?  I did a little digging on their donors and here's an interesting tidbit:

1. Open Society Foundations (OSF): Founded by George Soros, this grant-making network is historically one of its largest institutional partners, contributing millions to support human rights initiatives. (LLM)

I don't know about you but I don't trust anything George Soros has his fingerprints on.  For all I care, Amnesty International is a deep state funded organization carrying out his anti-American agenda.  Maybe genocide is their new global warming...

Cheers.

Kushner has a startup or was a co-founder of it. It being Cardre a real estate techie company.

I found the link WSJ.

Kinda make one wonder how much the Soros family has invested in upcoming real estate options and how deep partnerships really go?

Soros was a big political contributor to our DA here in Philly.  The guy has a track record of not prosecuting and just releasing criminals back out on the street.  This past election he ran unopposed.

How in the world did he run unopposed?  No one talks about being Soros-funded.

To answer your question, things run deeper than you know.

Apologies for going off-topic.

Cheers.

Oh yeah, here we go, the usual nonsense. Go get your khaffiya on, grab your placcard and head to London for your weekly march with the other one armed, lesbo, homo, ethnic, student, hippie, Corbyn clones.

It's called self defence laddie boy. After a hundred years of pogroms, gas chambers, Islamic world eviction, a last stand is being made. A military stand. They're actually getting quite good at fighting back these days. Shame the anti smell its can't take it.

Sorry, but that is utter nonsense.

Not what I said or think at all.

You were calling for the elimination of an entire country, civilians, protesters, everyone.

Ie, genocide.

Disgusting.

But, you do you.

By the way, my views on Corbyn are well known from my posts on ATS.

I despise the man and everything he stands for.

Carry on regardless..

Well, if one takes into account how the USA is aiding and abetting Israel's genocidal war crimes throughout that region, then what is being felt are bombs on targets like a little girls' school and many more civilian targets.

----

"Yes, according to multiple reports, Israel and the United States have targeted civilian sites in Iran during the conflict that began on February 28, 2026. 

• Civilian Infrastructure Attacks: Reports indicate that US-Israeli strikes have hit approximately 90,000 civilian sites, including hospitals, schools, universities, and residential buildings.  A notable incident involved the strike on an elementary girls’ school in Minab, which reportedly killed over 170 people, mostly children.
  
• Essential Services: Attacks have also targeted water desalination plants, power grids, and industrial facilities like steel plants and pharmaceutical factories in cities such as Isfahan and Farokhshahr. 
  
• International Condemnation: The UN and human rights organizations have condemned these actions, noting that targeting protected civilian infrastructure under international humanitarian law may constitute war crimes.  Iran’s Foreign Minister has accused the US and Israel of deliberately targeting civilian sites to exact a heavy price" (LLM)
  

----

"Organizations such as Genocide Watch, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, and BADIL have issued formal warnings or alerts labeling the situation as genocide or an early stage of genocidal activity.  They cite several factors:

• Statements by Israeli Officials: Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other officials have made public statements threatening the destruction of Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiya) and entire villages, with Smotrich explicitly stating that Dahiya would soon "look like Khan Younis," a city in Gaza heavily destroyed by Israeli bombardment. 
  
• Mass Displacement and Destruction: Critics point to the forced displacement of over 700,000 to 1 million civilians from southern Lebanon and the systematic destruction of homes (described as domicide) in border villages like Taybeh, Naqoura, and Deir Seryan, which they argue is intended to render areas uninhabitable. 
  
• Civilian Casualties and Infrastructure: Reports indicate hundreds of thousands of displaced people, significant civilian deaths (with some sources citing over 1,500 killed since March 2026), and the targeting of hospitals, healthcare workers, and civilian infrastructure. 
  
• Historical Precedent: The Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 is frequently referenced, with the MacBride Commission concluding that the events constituted genocide and that Israel bore responsibility. 
  

Israel’s Position and Counter-ArgumentsIsrael maintains that its military operations are lawful acts of self-defense against Hezbollah, which it designates as a terrorist organization.  Key points of Israel’s stance include:

• Targeting Military Infrastructure: Israel asserts that it targets Hezbollah’s military capabilities, command centers, and weapons caches, arguing that Hezbollah embeds itself within civilian areas. 
  
• Evacuation Orders: The IDF states that evacuation orders are issued to protect civilians by directing them away from conflict zones, although critics argue these orders are often issued with insufficient time and to areas that are not safe. 
  
• Denial of Genocidal Intent: Israel and its supporters, including some Western governments, reject the term "genocide," arguing that there is no intent to destroy the Lebanese people as a group, but rather a military objective to degrade Hezbollah’s ability to attack Israel. 
  
• International Law Compliance: Israel claims it adheres to international humanitarian law, including distinguishing between military targets and civilians, though it faces accusations of indiscriminate attacks and war crimes from organizations like Human Rights Watch. " (LLM)
  

Never could find any actual verified proof of school attacks. Only "according to multiple reports" type stories. Every detail under The whole Sun except for real proof.

That was then, this is now and they are pushing a expansionist genocidal Zionist agenda and it has nothing to do with self-preservation.

"Greater Israel (Hebrew: Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) is an ultranationalist Zionist ideology advocating for a Jewish state that encompasses modern-day Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and potentially parts of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan.  The concept is rooted in biblical promises describing a divine land grant stretching "from the Nile to the Euphrates," which proponents view as a spiritual and historical entitlement rather than merely a political aspiration. 

The ideology has evolved from a fringe religious-nationalist belief into a mainstream political doctrine under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who explicitly endorsed it as a "historic and spiritual mission" in August 2025.  Key figures in the current Israeli government, such as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, actively pursue policies of annexation and settlement expansion to realize this vision, effectively merging religious narratives with statecraft. 

While interpretations vary, the term generally refers to two territorial scopes: a narrower definition including Israel’s pre-1967 borders plus the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights; and a maximalist definition extending to the Nile and Euphrates rivers.  Critics and international observers describe this ideology as expansionist and destabilizing, arguing that it violates international law, undermines the two-state solution, and entrenches a system of apartheid or ethno-supremacy by denying Palestinian self-determination. " (LLM)

All goes directly back to the late 1800s when The Ottoman Empire Leaders allowed Jewish buyers to buy land in what was "Palestine".  They actually used real money too!

Wow.  That's a lot of phobias going on there.

The Strait's been blocked for nearly 3 months with reporting of steady bombings and explosions of refineries across the globe and you think there's a conspiracy to fake shortages

But The U.S. isn't dependent on ME Oil.  Unless??
Rigged on Purpose!!  
 

Refinery shutdowns: Two major U.S. refineries — LyondellBasell in Houston and Phillips 66 in Los Angeles — are closing, reducing daily capacity by 400,000 barrels. This, combined with rising demand, could push fuel inventories to 25-year lows OilPrice.com.

Global refined product shortages: While crude oil inventories remain above critical levels, jet fuel, naphtha, and LPG are tightening due to refining bottlenecks and trade frictions. Global refined product stocks have fallen to about 45 days of demand, down from 50 before the disruption
