Ed Israel/US Attacks Iran /Yet Another Country/Iran

Obvious strawman. None of those links, nor those claims, have ever featured in my posts.
Do you accept that there is a difference between looking for something that doesn't exist, and something that does? Yes or no?
TGZ is not presenting those claims and links as evidence that you posted.

The point is that Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed that Iran is weeks or months away from a nuclear bomb and wanted Obama to bomb Iran.

That on top of the fact that the very same Netanyahu also claimed Saddam Hussein was working towards a nuclear weapon.

So how close to a nuclear weapon is Iran? What is your evidence for those claims?

False Dichotomy.
Iraq had, and Iran has, a civilian nuclear program in accordance to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. Enriching uraniaum is not the same thing as developing a nuke.
By every neutral measure, Iran has as much a nuclear weapons program as Iraq had.

Do you agree that Netanjahu is not a reliable source on what does and doesn't exist?
And do you agree that Israel is in blatant violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

No. The IAEA found Iran had enriched uranium well past the level needed for any civilian nuclear program. That was NOT in accordance with the NPT. Enriching uranium that much is basically the same thing as developing a nuke, because that’s the only reason to do it, and because that’s the hardest part about developing a nuke.

Israel is not a signatory to the NPT. As such, they are not bound by it and cannot violate it.
 
Why do you assume it was an accident?
Because we know from lots of experience that the Iranians are simply incapable of actually aiming at and striking an individual building. They simply don't have that capability.

Targeting an area the size of an acre? Maybe, but I doubt it.
 

Israel accuses Iran of "war crime" after they accidentally hit hospital.

The irony, is thick.
The war criminality of accidentally hitting a hospital depends primarily on the military value of the intended target, and the anticipated military advantage of hitting that target. To a lesser degree, it also depends on the effort made to hit the intended target and miss other things, and on the selection of available weapons for the attack.

If you can tell us what military target Iran was aiming at, and that it was advantageous enough for Iran to risk hitting a hospital instead, and that Iran did what it could to avoid that outcome, I'll promptly concede that Iran committed no war crime here, and Israel is being dildos about it.
 
After Israel has flattened or seriously damaged many hospitals in Gaza the irony could hardly be thicker.
Exactly. Maybe Israel has learned a lesson?

Doubt it. In their minds, its a war crime to hit a Jewish hospital, military necessity to hit a Arab one.

That doesn't make it an accident. If they shot a missile at a square mile area knowing it could hit anywhere within that square mile area, and they hit something in that square mile area, that's not an accident. They hit their target.

Funny you should mention that. The hospital complex is something like 70+ acres. Right next door is a university, and surrounding it is residential areas. No military targets in sight. I'm fully willing to believe that Iran didn't specifically target this hospital because they lacked the accuracy to do so. But they fired at a city knowing they could hit a hospital or houses. It's not an accident that they did.

So now Israel knows what its like to have their hospitals damaged by rocket fire. Maybe it will teach them a valuable lesson about not targeting civilian infrastructure.
 
Anything is possible.
Does the cognitive dissonance ever get to you? On the one hand, you're claiming Iran couldn't have targeted the hospital because they don't have the accuracy. On the other, you're claiming that maybe Iran was justified in targeting the hospital because it was being used by the military. Do you not realize that these are contradictory claims?
"By deception, we make war" -Mossad motto
That's the Mossad motto, not the IDF motto. And EVERY intelligence service does that.

And why are you pushing propaganda for Iran? Why are you inventing propaganda claims that even Iran isn't pushing?
 
You believe that Hamas was operating out of all those Gazan hospitals? I have a bridge you might want to buy.
What, you think they wouldn't stoop that low? Looks like you already bought a bridge.

Funny how your desire for people to learn lessons only ever goes one way.

Iran hits hospitals by accident. Israel hits them on purpose.

If one single Hamas person is being treated in a hospital Israel declares it a legitimate military Target.

But Israel also targets Palestinian hospitals so as to strike fear and chaos into the hearts of the Palestinian people.
