The explosions were small enough that the plane would not have been compromised, imho.

Tiny shoe bombs caused quite a ruckus.

It would be a pretty bad look if 14 777s dropped out of the sky at the same time.

Hamas publicly states that they want genocide when it comes to Israelis. They have used TikTok and bullshit videos/statistics to turn the world against Israel. Hamas has made it so gay people here chant "death to Israel" and white housewives chant "from the river to the sea".

Point being, the PR war has already been lost.

BTW, I don't think assholes in Hezbolah jet around the world very often.

Maybe they should just disband.

Everyone believes an Iranian missile attack is imminent.

Not automatically WW3. Iran also launched missiles at a US base in Iraq during Trump, and nothing came of it.

Israel could glass Tehran, if they wanted. THEN it would get interesting. Or Tehran, Beirut, and Damascus all at once, the missiles synchronized to airburst nukes all in the same second. Just for flair.

A few weeks/months ago Iran launch a few hundred missiles then said they were done. Maybe the same again.

They could, but I think the right move is to selectively retaliate. They want to keep civilian deaths to a minimum to win hearts and minds.

Israel should focus on the terrorists in Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon. Iran knows they cannot do more than this.

Israel has been under constant, daily attack for at least 40 years, all their neighbors have their destruction written into their constitutions, and the day after a thousand of their civilians were kidnapped, raped, and murdered at a music festival about half the country still considered them the bad guys. They are never going to win any more hearts and minds, and the ones they do have will just nod silently and think, "I get it."

So hell, might as well glass all your immediate threats at once and then be safe for a decade since they're going to be hated anyway.

Iran trying to FAFO. I bet a bunch of Iranian things are about to explode.

If your Israel this is all the reason you need to delete their nuclear program.

"I stand with Iran" is trending.

We should ship every American tweeting that off to Iran immediately.

Agree. Stand with them there.

It's weird how many different ways there are to say "I hate Jews."
