[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the troll poster has requested more information from the WSJ, I'm happy to oblige with a gift link.  There's a very clear satellite picture showing just how close the school is to the base.  Anyone claiming that this school wasn't very much adjacent to the military base - and previously a part of it - is nutty.

The school is located on the edge of a compound linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an elite branch of Iran’s armed forces, according to an analysis of images by The Wall Street Journal. There are indications the school building had previously been used as an IRGC headquarters, the official said.

The Journal analysis of satellite and open-source images shows the building was next to, and possibly part of, a compound linked to the IRGC. Farzin Nadimi, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute specializing in Iran’s military, said visual clues such as the size, number and arrangement of structures support the assessment that the site was a base, though there was little to suggest to him that it was an important one.

Google Maps identifies one building as a “cultural complex” of the IRGC, where young members play sports and train, Nadimi said. The compound also has a medical facility. A photograph pinned to the location on Google Maps shows a sign that says, “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Medical Command.”

Being "close to" a base is no excuse for bombing a school.  No one would be saying "oh that's ok, it's understandable they killed my kid" if their kid was killed because they attended one of the 150 DoED schools co-located on a military base.[/quote]

If it was the second day of bombing, you'd better believe American parents wouldn't be sending their kids to school [b]anywhere[/b], much less to a school co-located on a military base.  But do keep repeating yourself over and over and over...[/quote]
You’re terrible. We all had to go back to school and work on 9/12. War doesn’t make us hide under tunnels like Israelis can [/quote]

+1  No one expects the military to bomb elementary schools.  Stop trying to justify this incident.[/quote]

No one expected the [i]US military[/i] to bomb elementary schools.  And, they wouldn't have, but for Hegseth and Trump and their derangement over the "queering of the military" or whatever the F else imaginary grievance du jour that makes them think they need to tear up longstanding rules of engagement, ignore Geneva Conventions, upend JAG corps etc.

So that's one f'ed up thing going on.  And it's new.  But we Americans hope to throw those m-f-ers out and put them on trial.   Wish Iran could say the same.

But it's pretty much a given for Russia to do that to Ukrainian schools.  Along with Iran and Hezbollah etc.  They've bombed schools, hospitals and civilian targets with impunity.  And without accountability to the international community, what's the point of even expecting accountability?  We can't have a UN Security Council that gives their buddies a pass for war crimes, whether it's Israel, or whether it's Iran, Russia, China or anyone else - even the US.  Currently those institutions have shown themselves to be impotent, pointless and useless.  And it sucks.

None of it's justifiable or excusable, nobody should get a pass - even those who think they deserve some kind of morality pass because they hate the US and Israel. And, along with it, the bad-faith "negotiations" that are straight up delusional.  It's the perfect set-up to lead nations into wars.  Our whole global community system is broken.[/quote]

No. Every single one of Israel's prime ministers is a war criminal from the beginning. And there are very few decent Israeli jews. Look at the polls on their views. So don't compare any other country to Israel.

People despise Israel. Like 99% of the world's population. You need to wrap your head around that fact.

Then you might see why Americans are against this illegal war. If you lived in 150+ countries in the world, how you're arguing would not even be taken seriously. They're already keen to the lies and misdirects.

There's no sense trying to change corrupt minds. They're immutable. The lashing out from them trying to defend the indefensible is the intended consequence.

Our kids and our kids' kids are going to do historical research one day and they'll be going through internet forum archives that are rich with zionist propagandist lies and misdirects.[/quote]

99% of posts saying 99% of people are against 'x' - are made up.

I don't disagree with you that there are a lot of people with deep issues over how Israel has handled Gaza and the Palestinians but you don't do yourself any favors fabricating shit like that.

Nor with the constant accusing of everyone who disagrees with you of being a Zionist.  Or calling people corrupt and diseased and so on.

You've already been told this, that you aren't doing yourself any favors - it's not a compelling strategy, but you seem to be staunchly corrupt and immutable in your own regard.  Even after having been shown your own flaws and mistakes.[/quote]
