Agreed, PM Boobi is a racist JudeoFascist and will beg for this to be used as justification to finally destroy Iran's nuke sites.

I agree, I'm giving the point to Iran on this one. Israel didn't swat the missiles down by standing on the Temple Mount and swinging its dick around like a helicopter. If the US and Jordan hadn't intercepted 90% of the strike, casualties would not have been minimal. Iran demonstrated that Israel alone is vulnerable without damaging anything but their pride.

Besides trying (and failing) to sound clever, what exactly is the highlighted supposed to mean?

What is the source for your claim that the US and Jordan intercepted 90% of the strike? That would be approximately 288 combined missiles and drones.
 
Israel's financial markets opened Sunday as usual, with the activity robust, and gains outpacing losses at the close of Tel Aviv Stock Exchange trading.

Defense companies did well with Elbit Systems up around 4%, and defense company Aryt Industries up around 5.4% Sunday afternoon. Aerial intelligence company Aerodrome Group was up around 6%.

Neither Israel nor Iran have any interests to get further into this.
There is an open question about the Israeli-affiliated MSC AIRES which was captured, but I'm fairly sure that the Portuguese flagged, British-owned (by Gortal Shipping, an affiliate of Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac is partly owned by an Israeli businessman) vessel will be released without much further ado.

I'll be shocked if JudeoFascist Bibi does not strike back at Iran.
 
What does Israel have to gain by 'striking' Iran?

The Hezbollah just is sitting tight.
The Houthis are getting tired of firing projectiles that are intercepted easily.
The Hamas is out of steam.

Israelis are looking forward to a peaceful holiday week of Passover (April 22-30), with family picnics, restaurants filled, hiking in the national parks, music, and matza.

Oh, come on, no one looks forward to matzah. Well, maybe, but then you're over it in about a day.

Funny.

Have you heard about the celebration of Mimouna? It's an ages-old custom of the Jews of Morocco.
(The tradition is to embrace and revel in the end of the Passover week of just matza, and serve sweet pastries and other special baked goods that epitomizes the end of the Biblical prohibition on leavened bread.)

I disagree.

Israel's anti-aircraft and missile defense systems are well known. The attack was choreographed well in advance and because of that Israel, the U.S. and Jordan all had time to prepare.

This missile/drone attack was calculated and planned to cause little death or destruction.

It was a show of defiance in response to the Damascus attack. It satisfies the hardliners in Iran but was ineffectual enough to give Israel a reason to limit its own response - there remains space for de-escalation.

I don't think Israel will take advantage of the that space for de-escalation, but that's only because Bibi is an ******* who depends upon hardliners to keep his criminal ass in power.

This.
Iran's leaders needed to save face, but a direct attack- say, with planes- would be too risky. Drones and missiles were a kind of pretend attack- looks cool, but it was never going to get past the Israeli/allied defences.
The problem is, as you say, what Bibi will do. He's a nasty loose cannon, but I'm hoping that he is looking at the massive amounts of disapproval- global and domestic- he's already garnered, and will be somewhat measured in his response.
As I'm still living in Saudi Arabia, this is of more than a mere academic interest to me: I'm literally right in the middle of this! :eek:

What's the view on the street out there in Saudi? Or are the locals keeping their views to themselves?
 
I am not in the habit of communicating directly with Israeli government officials, Herc.
By the way, here are two photos of the damage resulting from some projectiles landing in Israel.

After this incredible devastation, you think the Israelis need to retaliate? C'mon, man.

IDF is organizing a few brigades in Gaza to handle operational tasks that are upcoming --

1. The US-led effort to build a humanitarian sea corridor and pier.
2. Preventing flow of people back into N.Gaza (or, at a minimum, creating a proper vetting checkpoint)
3. Preparing for a possible humanitarian cease-fire, and securing the existing positions of IDF.

The two brigades that were called up are the Carmeli (2nd) Infantry Reserve Brigade and the 679th Armored Reserve Brigade. The two are expected to enter the central Gaza Strip, one of the brigades will sit on the Netzarim corridor and the second will secure the American pier that is being erected on the Gazan coast. The 162nd Division, which until now sat in the corridor, will be made available for other tasks in the Gaza Strip.

OK, so if he doesn't... will that make you rethink anything? Or will you make excuses for why you were really right about Bibi even though he didn't do what you were sure he would?

If Bibi does not attack Iran, it shows he's not a complete *******.

Just mostly an *******.

Meanwhile everyone is now saying this "attack" by Iran was all just for show, they knew Israel and buddies would shoot down most if not all of their rockets. Does that make you think Israel should just call it a day?

Judeofascism isn't a thing, dude. It's something you made up as a childish attempt at tu quoque. The reality is that that there is no push to establish a theocratic Jewish state, similar to the theocratic Muslim states that have emerged wherever regional circumstances permit. There is no Jewish equivalent to ISIS, trying to extend a Hebrew "caliphate" wherever they can establish control. There is no Jewish equivalent to Hamas. There is no Jewish equivalent to Islamofascism.

Tell that to the countless Arab victims of Jewish-extremist and bigoted violence in the West Bank. Tell that to the racist members of the "Jewish Power Party" in the Knesset. Tell that to the victims of Baruch Goldstein. Tell that to the extremists who want to kick the Arabs out of Israel or limit their political rights. Tell that to the Rabbis who believe Arabs are not worth a single Jewish fingernail. Tell that to the extremists who want to starve the people of Gaza to death as long as their captives are not released.

Jewish extremist Fascism is a real thing my bro. Deal with it.

In other words, despite claiming certainty, being wrong wouldn't actually make you rethink anything.

I'm not surprised by your response.

Click to expand...

That makes calling it a day a realistic option. But I don't know the details of Israel's other options. For example, I don't know how well they could target Iranian nuclear facilities, and how much damage they could do to them. So I don't know what choice they will make.

I'll start writing my apology letters to the PM Boobi defense team.

Now back to the OP. Now it looks more like Israel will respond my taking out some random Iranian general, years from now.
