Adding that li'l detail that Israel started the BS by attacking their embassy or Consulate in Damascus and killing a few folks there... I'm no fan of Iran but we have to try and be fair when telling the whole story

Maybe so....Still ....Nothing to be happy about......

what everybody fails to see and understand is the leaders in Israel are casarian jews/ Mafia but the people are the ones that suffer as Jews that are good people. They've just been misled and ruled as the US also is ruled and mislead by the Deep state that have destroyed, stolen, and tried to kill us with the vaccine. All wars are manufactured anomaly of the bankers that control the IMF and the World Bank. We are merely Pawns in their game and they do not respect or like us. They must all be taken down and replaced. It is up to us, The People, to do this. We must understand that there's no black vs white no sunnis vs Shiites no left vs right , Democrats vs Republicans just us against them.its a well played game and we're the pawns.
