Are the tankies in the room with us right now?
Do you know what a tankie is other than 'someone to the left of genocide'?

The OP literally posted only two other posts and they're both about the lies Israel published about the 'command center' underneath Al-Shifa.
They're literally quoting you and responding to the literal quote.
You just don't like what they're saying.
Russia makes more money from the sanctions being in place from their oil sales then without the sanctions.
That is the definition of failing.
P.S. Russian oil has full reach of the market because countries that should abide by the sanctions aren't.
So inferior that the Israel strike that was supposed to accomplish SEAD turned and fled when target locked by an unknown anti air defense system?
Most (including US) current generation weapons systems have been untested. There is a reason and a strategy for all weapons producing countries doing the same thing. Using current generation systems where their effectiveness can be studied by the enemy is giving the enemy free information.
In other words, using qualifiers like inferior or superior for literally untested weapons(and yes, weapons are untested until used against an enemy) Is purely a faith/propaganda thing.
Good job not addressing the main important point of the post you're responding to, namely the absolute reliability of the Gaza Health Ministries numbers.
You try and throw uncertainty about the death toll by linking the Health Ministry to ...Hezbollah... to try and discredit the numbers. The numbers that basically EVERYONE at this point (except for people who are biased to the point of any unwillingness to believe, you know, fucking reality) accepts as rock solid.
Actually address that point. It's the basis for all of your comments in this thread. The foundation, if you will.
Someone that confuses two entirely different governments, with two different armies , and two different fucking religions knows nothing about the region and doesn't deserves words in any replies.
Correcting hezbollah/hamas after the fact still indicates your awareness or knowledge of the situation, regardless of any "I don't know what I was thinking" you add in an edit.
Just a reminder that Voice of America is literally a paid for propaganda outlet of the US.
Given what I've seen you moderate in news on Lemmy.world, I wouldn't be so quick to accuse others of letting their biases impact how they treat things that go against their world view.
Their Oct 1 attacks were in response to the assassination of Nasrallah, in combination with a response to the assassination of a visiting diplomat in Tehran from a separate attack from Israel.
Iran agreed not to respond to the assassination because the US promised that if Iran didn't respond, the US would secure a peace deal for Gaza.
The fact that they delivered and the US didn't is well known to the Persian people, even if it isn't here. And, the lack of response was considered internally there as encouraging Israeli aggression.
The whole 'nothing is more important than the US election' is far less accurate than you think it is.
Iran has it's own internal politics and factions it needs to appease.
This is true of most countries too.
The US invasion of Iraq had far more to do with internal politics than it did with any actions of Saddam.
The current elected leader of Iran was actually the concillatory to the west candidate, elected when tensions were not quite as high.
Now that tensions are high, he has to prove he's not too weak to his own constituency, as the Persian people come together under what they consider to be an unjust attack.
Again, this is true in general for most countries. Foreign policy is driven far more by domestic politics then most people consider.
I think you meant CIA, as mentioned by others.
