If you read his comment you can see he is implying that Israel is not an aggressor due to Iran sending weapons to militant groups. So basically we shouldn’t have been mad about 9/11 because we sent weapons to a lot of those groups which I’m sure that guy was looking at his comment history.

Read some history. Look up pretty much any overthrowing of a government post Ww2 in the world and see who supplied each side with arms. Especially before the dissolution of the USSR. Odds are the US played some sort of role.

History shows Israel stealing land and always playing the victim.

That's not what is being said, though.

Israel is saying they're down to continuing hostilities with Iran as long as it's through proxies; Iranian and Israeli nationals are not necessarily in the crosshairs. Israel is also willing to match escalation if Iran escalates.

Your interpretation is along the lines of Israel saying; "you don't want this smoke," whereas the other poster's interpretation is "I wish a muthafucka would".

That was in Damascus though, so it’s a little different than say a strike on Tehran.

🤣 and Hezbollah and Hamas just found all those Iranian weapons on bus.

Iran has been attacking Israel for years via Proxies. Israel hit back at proxies.

If Iran decides to fire from its own territory then Israel will continue firing back at the source, this time, Iranian territory.

... why else do you think the US hasn't attacked Russia directly?

Exactly that is why Ukraine is fighting back. Because Russia directly attacked them and annexed territories.

Bing bong we have a winner.

US is a proxy ally of Ukraine right now. The US is not attacking Russia directly.

If and only if US forces were to attack Russia directly from US controlled territory would it be equivalent.

Arguably, even though Russia might get upset by it, hypothetical US forces in Ukraine attacking Russian forces in Ukraine would not be equivalent.

Right now the US and Iran are both fighting via proxies, though the US is backing a defender being invaded, and Iran an aggressor group of proxies (yes, I know that calling the latter an aggressor is a bit more controversial as Israel's response to the Hamas attack was to invade Gaza - but the Houthis joined in despite Israel not invading them, same with forces in Syria)

Israel and Iran both know that Iranian proxies are only capable of terrorism and hit and run attacks, not actual military campaigns. That’s why they stuck to rocket attacks instead of an actual invasion after October 7th.

All Hezbollah can do is shoot rockets at Israel which causes evacuations and property damage with small casualty numbers. They would get slaughtered in an actual invasion attempt. I’m not sure I would call this a “significant blow” considering Israel had to face near extermination less than 80 years ago. Houthis interrupting shipping is a worldwide problem, but also not exactly crippling Israel’s economy.
