Summary

Israel destroyed an active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

The strike significantly damaged Iran’s efforts to resume nuclear weapons research and sent a message about Israel’s insight into Iran’s top-secret activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to vote on a censure resolution against Iran for its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

    LOL “commit so many genocides”

    That just shows how meaningless the word is now. I’ll bet you didn’t know that anti-Zionists were accusing Israel of genocide during the 2014 war with Hamas - a war that lasted 6 weeks and had a death toll of a whopping 2300.

    Your perspective on the conflict is totally warped. Israel is not the bully. We’re talking about a tiny country of 9 million people that you can drive across in 3 hours at its widest point. It is surrounded by Arab nations that have tried to destroy it several times, and for the past 30 years has been bullied by the proxies of the genocidal Iranian regime. Iran is the real bully in the Middle East.

      The word genocide has not lost its meaning, you just obviously never understood it.

      It is not about numbers of dead. The world considers the Bosnians to be victims of a genocide, but “only” 8000 people died in Srebrenica.

        I’m well aware of the definition of genocide. My point was that the threshold for accusing Israel of genocide is very, very low.

          Have you considered that maybe the Zionists just kill a lot of people, and maybe if they stopped killing so many people, maybe they would be accused less of genocide?

            Have you considered that if Arabs hadn’t been engaged in a futile attempt to murder Jews and destroy Israel, the past 75 years of violence would have been avoided?

      The word has lost its meaning now for a lot of people.

      Decades of genocides can make genocide feel normal

      Your comment is a perfect example.
