Any idea how to counter this argument? Because I've been hearing that too, and I don't know what to say other than obviously that's stupid.

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago

If they're arguing in good faith remind them that they did this with Gaza too. They did this early on and then proceeded to destroy every single hospital in Gaza deliberately. These people have no qualms about bombing civilians and should not be given the benefit of the doubt, they have been targeting Iranian civilians deliberately for years.

Basically it's fog of war, unless we have a reason to believe something different we should assume the school and hospital bombers bombed the school.

all major US new is State Dept propaganda. The 9/11 hijackers were Saudi, yet we went to Iraq and Afghanistan, only for oil, Israel and proximity to Iran. The country that beats up and murders protesters and immigrants and constantly is rolling back womens rights is worried about Muslims(protesters and women mostly) in another country? yea ok.

just call it bullshit first of all because it is. But even if it was an misfired Iranian missile (its not), it would be America's fault because they are the aggressor who started this war

Agreed, if it is actually due to some sort of failure, fault still goes to the instigator.

If we were chilling on my couch and a murderous cyborg bear came busting in my front door and I accidentally shot you while hip-drawing my bazooka nobody would be like “oh this isn’t the bear’s fault, in fact this makes it so much your fault that we aren’t even going to mention the bear being there.”

multiple elementary schools were bombed, they bombed elementary schools afterwards too

The same people going to Epstein's island are the ones trying to tell you that Iran attacked their own schools. Don't fall for their bullshit, the people who care the least about child welfare in the entire world are the ones trying to pin the blame on Iran, after they already admitted to it and are now backtracking and lying after people were disgusted.

AND HAMAS WERE UNDER THE SCHOOL

What is more believable to people? That Israel bombed kids or that Iran bombed kids? Bet you people come out against Israel.

My counter is that once you lose credibility, you lose the benefit of the doubt and gain the burden of proof. So my counter is quite simply: prove it.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

I don't understand how people still belive the US or Israel whenever they say something without proof after they've been proven to lie over and over . It boggles the mind.

this is a very good breakdown of the airstrike. the only thing it doesn't do is cite the dahiya doctrine and note that killing the children of a bunch of IRGC soldiers is exactly the kind of thing that imperial genocidaires would do to hurt iranian morale. I believe AJE is more credible here also because it is a qatar based news outlet, and with the cessation of LNG production, qatar destroyed their economy for the foreseeable future as a direct result of iranian attacks.

Ooh Saving this

good amount of sources here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_airstrike

Misinformation

Following the attack, Israeli and Iranian pro-Monarchist opposition pages began disseminating information that the airstrike was a failed IRGC interception. These claims originated from associated Telegram channels and were debunked.
