Didn't Israel overstep and attack Iran's embassy in Syria? Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?

Meanwhile Canada has a strategic reserve of maple syrup.

Which was Trump's plan all along (recalling him demanding that Europe pull their weight in NATO). Man's playing 4D chess.

Surfing pools, no less.

Ironically in a place where some of the best surfing in the world can happen if you go to the ocean, which is all around.

You mean they were just projecting onto Hunter Biden what Jared Kushner was already doing?

Some real leopard eating my face shit here.

The criteria are for women and the elderly to be released. The majority of the remaining hostages are men of military age (as Israel has mandatory conscription, they are military personnel by definition).

I can't wait to hear the temporarily embarrassed billionaires complain that this will impact them.

So by your logic Al Quaeda was okay to attack the US consulate in Benghazi as they were not the host nation.

Regardless, my point is that how Mexico responds is up to Mexico, not the "civilized world".

Sure, but the civilized world can speak about it, instead of crickets at the UN Security Council.

As for Mexico and Ecuador, please see below:

By we, I mean the civilized world.

In the case of Mexico, they have decided to maintain diplomatic relations with Ecuador despite the raid, and that's their prerogative.

Literally the opposite has happened. Mexico has severed (i.e., cut, not maintain) all diplomatic relations with Ecuador, and has announced plans to take Ecuador to the ICJ.

Israel and Iran have been attacking each other directly or indirectly for years, targeting an embassy in Syria instead of an apartment in Tel Aviv or factory in Isfahan doesn't really change anything.

Attacks through proxies have happened, or as a result of secret operations, but this is a clear aggression on the part of Israel.

As for the second part of your comment, the targeting of diplomatic missions is contrary to international law. However, it doesn't change anything for a country that has no regard for human life. If you're able to justify the killings of thousands of civilians in violation of international law, what's another law broken? We already have seen that international law does not apply to Israel.

Edit: the insane part is that at least 7 people agree with you despite the outright lie about Mexico.

I needed a finger wag and a tut-tut.

So is Biden going to do anything about it?

Embassies are 100% off limits.

If we are going to accept Israel attacking Iran's embassy in Syria or Ecuador attacking Mexico's embassy in Ecuador, then we should accept Al Qaeda's attacks on US embassies, including in Benghazi in 2012.

Let's compare inflation against corporate profits. I'm curious how they relate.

When was the last time you saw a turtle with a plastic lid in its face? Checkmate.

/S

I don't disagree that plastic straws are bad for the environment, but it's bizarre that the world united in banning straws when there are so many other things that are worse that we continue to pollute with.

Germany: commits Holocaust.

Palestinians: punished for it.

What is there to invade?

Israel is and always has been a welfare state. Their entire existence has been funded through foreign remittances or by handouts from the US.

The supply of US weapons only makes sense.

They hadn't killed white people yet.

Edited to add: This only happened because Israel overstepped and attacked the world central kitchen aid convoy.
