This is quite concerning. Your comment made me somehow wonder if the people of Israel seem to support this war and it turns out that the answer is sort of yes[0] I remember Witold pilecki during these times although polish, he was the first person to report the allies about the atrocities happening within the holocaust which the allies thought were not even possible, they thought he was exaggerating, that there was n…

This is an incredibly ignorant comment. Iran isn’t Palestine and it’s a category error to project your feelings about Palestine into Iran. Iran’s attacks on Israel aren’t like Palestinians attacking a country that is occupying their territory. Iran is a sophisticated country that uses military action to further its own geopolitical interests. Iran has been attacking Israel—launching missiles and funding terrorists li…

Obviously I hate the Iranian Regime as well, maybe even more than what you might imagine because I had a friend in Tehran,Iran whom I met who hated the regime and everything that came with it.

I had helped them prevent censorship from their own regime from using psiphonvpn which is insecure and helped them install protonVPN and helped them be more safe as they were using malware version of minecraft (tlauncher) and helped them use open source alternative instead so that they can enjoy a game in the world of inflation and repression and played the game with them and we have talked so much about Iranian regime.

There were scheduled blackouts and a lack of Battery storage due to prices so when blackout happened, everything turned off in most households of Tehran, the capital city of Iran.

The regime had done so many atrocities to its own people too.

But what I am trying to just say is that in this war against Iran though, The very same people I told you about who hated the regime are getting killed too.

My point is that atrocities are being done perhaps as we speak as US/Israeli forces strike tehran. Innocent people are losing lives and the same people who used to protest against the regime are getting killed as well and even school children aren't safe[0]

My comment had hoped that I could urge that this war on Iran is killing civilians and doing atrocities and there is no end to this war as far as I can tell.

This war, as much as I hate the Iranian Regime, I can't help but feel like was an escalation which is going to cause so many deaths of innocent lives. The deaths of these innocents lives is an atrocity.

Of course, me and you can go sit in our houses at safety and sleep at night and argue on forums on how wrong one another is, but I think about that friend that I can't contact because of blackouts, whom I was worried about from their own govt. when the protests had happened that I was worried about their lives, and right now, I am worried about their lives too.

And regarding Marco Rubio's statement which I am paraphasing that but Israel would've attacked Iran and so its better if we best attack with them feels so fickle response from US in the sense that US is a superpower which couldn't stop Israel from such escalation, rather dugging itself into blood of innocents like so many times in the pasts within the same region that I need not remind you of.

If you are telling me that US the superpower, couldn't stop Israel in starting a war so it joined it, then I am fine to hear that too but I don't believe it. I do believe that US could've definitely stopped it. This war could've been prevented just like the last wars.

I am now worried about the safety of my friend who lives in tehran in the same way that I was worried about the people of ukraine for. I am worried about the deaths of innocents, sir.

I am worried that the world has failed those people who lose their innocent lives in such conflicts and are currently in danger. The war is happening. More innocent people will lose their lives.

I don't support any sides of the war. I support peace.

> This is an incredibly ignorant comment

I am sorry if you feel that way. I had thought that my discussions with my friend of tehran and even Israeli friends could've made me less ignorant. I can be wrong, I usually am. I am unable in good conscience agree to this war

If you are interested in knowing how I feel, I think Spanish PM has been vocal about it too and that's exactly how I feel even though I am not Spanish.

'No to War.' That's all.

I am sorry if you still feel like I am ignorant though. I am just sharing how I feel/make up of the whole situation.

I just feel like this war is only going to get downward spiral in terms of the innocent lives it takes, in terms of the financial damage it costs, in terms of the diplomatic rifts in the whole region not just iran/israel or some few as the war gets more messy.

I'm Iranian (albeit Christian) and unfortunately.. Iranians _also_ support this war (specifically the Shia sect supporting the regime). As a matter of fact, they have been _praying_ for this. Shia Muslims have a strong martyrdom culture in comparison to Sunnis. This is why assassination of Khamenei didn't do anything in terms of disruption. He was martyred during the holy month of Ramadan and they welcomed it. All US…

> I know it's difficult for Westerners to grasp how someone could pray for their own death but this is what they do.

I think some Americans have familiarity with the concept. There’s a somewhat popular myth within Evangelical Christianity that reasons that the US itself needs to be destroyed before the Rapture can occur, because there is no mention of the US in any prophecy. (I’ve heard Micah 4 cited as one possible reference but it’s a flimsy one, even by apocalypse prophecy standards.)

Here is one variant of this myth in the context of the current conflict: https://baptistnews.com/article/the-end-times-theology-drivi...

I actually agree with you. This is the reason why I am saying that Israel/US shouldn't have given it to the Iranian regime as well.

Because as we both know that Iranian regime and the Iranian people are different will and it seems that this war is gonna impact the Iranian people the people I am worried about from my original comment and it was my attempt to suggest de-escalation of war feels the better route.

> I think this is going to be a difficult conflict for everyone. & > US can bomb Tehran to hell and they will not care. They have nothing to lose and will gladly sacrifice innocent people.

I agree with this too and this is why I am saying that innocent people will lose their lives in this conflict and I am sure that you must've heard of the horrible incidents happening too.

I had a friend who was Iranian and they were Muslim (I never asked their sect) and they were against the regime as well, quite a lot actually.

I am curious to know what your thoughts are on the peace of the situation. I suppose you want peace as well for the people, right?

My point was that the jewish faith within israel/israeli people themselves in general could better rally for peace given that they had a very messy past as well with regards to atrocities which is something that we aren't seeing, with regards to either the palestine or now Iran where in both cases, the innocent normal everyday people lives are getting killed.

I just want peace. That's all.

and what is MOB

i'm not really sure. they keep shouting out MOB though, I don't think they really have definition

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and/or flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I'm not really posting flamebait. As far as substantive comments go, we are currently using this man's own body to write this comment through our very based brain-computer interface. Many versions of which of are running rampant in the domestic United States of America, and have been for quite a while.

This man has been compromised since his very earliest childhood memories, and this is not an uncommon state of affairs in his country, most people compromised are unaware of this because they have never experienced anything close to what the authentic human experience should be like. Those who are aware, are usually just ignored, bringing awareness to this does not achieve anything.

The vast majority of (nearly all) of your "national security threats" do not exist, in the sense they are artificially manufactured by people (and other systems) we have deeply compromised. Much of your "economic activity" is artificially manufactured too actually.

If you want these comments to be sustained, simply talk to the account writing these messages, or try to get him into one of the very few neuroimaging systems we do not have deeply compromised (if not the machine(s) system(s), than the other systems which interpret their results, including [and especially] human perception).

I hear you, and I'm sorry for calling your posts flamebait. However, we've been getting quite a few complaints from HN users about your posts being off-topic, so I think it's best if we suspend the account for now, so its posts will be less visible for a while. We can always reverse that later when conditions change.

The interception disparity really drives home how air superiority dominates modern war planning. (That and not getting scammed on Russian kit.)

i feel like i misunderstand the UI - it seems to show coalition strikes mostly being intercepted? or does the bottom row refer to strikes against coalition forces?

Same. Why does it have a "belligerent" tag/badge - that seems to indicate bias.

But other than not understanding the data, the UI looks really fancy.

Yeah, Shi'a are weird, on one hand it bear the most secular, laical Muslim society during all the middle age until the 20th century, on the other hand it regularly spawn death cults, with the IRGC being it's latest (and arguably strongest) iteration.
