Israel vs. Iran And Proxies: War Discussion Master Thread

[AsherO]

Honest question, was there this much speculation in Iran as to how Israel would respond to Iran's missile and drone attack?

The media there is a propaganda machine that spews IRGC messaging. I’m sure on the street they gossip about the regime all the time, whether it’s attacking Israel or not.

Iranian opposition media reports that newly inaugurated President Masoud Pezeshkian begged Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei not to attack Israel for fear Iran could be devastated in a regional war.

Long article about the possibility and form of attack. One throwaway comment that caught my attention is that one goal may have already been achieved: creating a heightened sense of readiness (which is not free), and disrupting flights.

International Federation of Medical Student Associations says 2-year suspension of Israel's delegation comes over war in Gaza, allegations of genocide; if decision not reversed suspension could be permanent

The International Federation of Medical Student Associations, IFMSA, decided by a two-thirds majority vote to suspend the association of students from Israel for two years because of the war in Gaza and accusations of genocide and "a lack of morals and humanitarian values," ​ Ynet has learned.

The move was initiated by the Brazilian association and brought up for a vote in a meeting held over over zoom earlier in the week. The Israeli representative to the international body Miri Schwimmer, said the proposal was rushed through at the end of the meeting without following the standard practice of announcing it in advance.

A Belgian publisher has apologized but refuses to take down a column that has been accused of inciting antisemitic hatred. In the column, a writer lamented the humanitarian suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and said it made him want to “ram a sharp knife through the throat of every Jew I meet,” and later defended his words as being protected under free speech.

Even according to his sick POV, perhaps the Israelis also just want to "ram a sharp knife through the throat of every Gazan they meet" after what they did to innocent Israelis. Isn't that just as fair game in his logic? Alas, antisemitism has no logic.
