QUIC1DE

Iran backs and funds the Hamas (an internationally recognized terrorist organization), and Hezbollah (an internationally recognized terrorist organization), the Houthi rebels (an internationally recognized terrorist organization) and the iraqi separatist groups (...you guessed it). They have spent trillions of $ fostering violence in attempts to destabilize the entire Middle East, not just Israel. It's no coincidence that they are also attacking almost every other Arab country in the Middle East right now.

Random fact: Gaza depends on Israel for both its water and electricity. I've never found a "genocide believer" who can explain why Israel would continue to provide both if it truly is attempting to commit a genocide.

Thats a cute narrative, but unfortunately it doesn't align with reality in the slightest-

• Israel gifted the Sinai peninsula to Egypt in return for peace
• Israel attempted to return Gaza to Egypt after the `67 war, Egypt refused to take it back
• Israel attempted to return the West Bank to Jorden after the `67 war, Jordan refused to take it back (aka the "Allon plan", google it)
• Israel has entered Lebanon multiple times to clear out the PLO and Hezbollah's forward positions which were attacking Israel. Every single time it has pulled back to international borders once the threat was removed.
• Israel offered the PLO a 2-state solution on 98% of the land it demanded (Gaza/WestBank). PLO declined.
• Israel unilaterally exited Gaza in 2005 and handed it over to the Palestinians to self-govern. The Palestinians immediately used their newfound independence to attack Israel.

All of the above is public history which is a single Google search away. Be better.

"holding back" lol they're doing the best they can. It's not their fault that this has been the most one-sided "war" in modern history. Oh wait, it actually is their fault. THEY LOST. cope harder.

Hello Iranian bot, nice to meet you.

Sorry it's hard to keep track of all the haters. I didn't mean to promote you. Carry on.

yes I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Terrible tragedies happen in war, that's why most civilized countries try to avoid war whenever possible.

And how exactly is your laundry list of whataboutisms related to the topic of Iranian war crimes?

... and you are purposely missing the point that using a precision missile with a shrapnel warhead to attack a specific building is absolutely NOT equivalent to indiscriminately scattering 1000s of bomblets across entire cities. Especially when the former wasn't even done by Israel, it was done by the US.

see, this is where the school of tiktok and CoD starts falling short of actual military knowledge. HE Fragmentation blasts (ie shrapnel shells, the "metal pellets" as explained in your link) are quite different than cluster munitions.

Fragmentation uses the primary explosion of the payload to propel metal fragments which are what deal the actual damage, as compared to a pure explosive in which the heat and explosive force are the main actors. Shrapnel shells just make the primary payload more effective (lethal), they have no effect on the accuracy or targeting of the delivery mechanism. If you have seen pictures of the PrSM impact which hit the school, it's easy to see that the blast radius was tightly contained onto roughly the top 1/2 of the building.

Cluster munitions, on the other hand, are BY DESIGN meant to scatter across a large area, with each bomblet delivering its own individual explosive payload (which BTW may also be augmented with shrapnel). Each one of Iran's missiles scatters tens of separate bomblets over a 5-10km radius, indiscriminately targeting whole city areas with 100Ks of civilians.

If you can't tell the difference I can only conclude that you don't WANT to see a difference between a single tragic targeting mistake vs ongoing intentional war crimes against broad swaths of civilian populations.
