Israel doing a 9/11 every day and the UN's only response is "Please Iran, don't hit back".
- "Don't defend yourself. Just lie back and let it happen."
  
  It's the geopolitical version of femdom pegging.
I'll be honest, I don't believe that Israel waited for a "green light" from the US for a second. I don't believe they even bothered to check in the first place.
It doesn't matter because republicans will green light anything Israel wants to do as long as it doesn't hurt their bank account. They gave carte Blanche a long time ago.
All of this is a distraction, from both the US and Israel, for different things. Don't get distracted in trying to point fingers and play the blame game. All players here suck ass for different reasons, with the ones attacking and backing being top of the list.
Nobody asked or gave permission because the answer was always going to be "do whatever you want"
To be fair, didn't the Biden administration basically do the same thing? Israel seems hell bent on starting an all out war and, eventually, they're going to hit someone who is actually capable of hitting back in a concerted manner.
- Yep, in October 2024 Israel wanted to bomb nuclear and oil resources in Iran but Biden said no to that and that they needed to pick another target, so Israel blew up a military base and killed some Iranian soldiers instead
- I feel like this is in response to trump saying he didn't know about the attack, which I don't remember, but maybe Biden also gave permission then forgot? Or lied? Or forgot? Where am I?
- Did Israel launch missiles at Iran while Biden was in office and I missed it?
  
  Wasn't there a retaliatory strike, too, during Biden's term? Albeit with just a bunch of ballistic missiles, mostly slow flying drones.
Distractions not working Donny.
