[UnscheduledProgram]

Like watching someone fall down a flight of stairs in slow motion.

[larynOneka]

Will Israel be sending aid to North Carolina or Tennessee?

[turdferguson]

Why would anyone ask Israel not to defend itself?

[simonscowled]

US: "Iran should de-escalate"
Also US : " Israel should retaliate"

[moose]

If these missiles were not hypersonic.... then why did so many of them land? Is the iron dome failing?

[mgm]

More than some broke through. I saw the videos before Israel took them down.

[jonahsekakoni]

What a load of nonsense from the former secretary.
"No more surprises from Israel to the US"
There have been saying this since Oct 8th and still claim to have little clue what Israel is doing.
Are we supposed to believe this nonsense? Try another one mr.

[Jnglfvr]

These are NOT hypersonic missiles. This is ancient technology.

[devonrobinson]

Imagine a country who by their own admission, tagets civilians as a principle; threatening all out war because another country bombed infrastructure with almost no civilian casualties... to stop them from entering ANOTHER country and targeting its civilians.

[EsmailLotfi-lc]

Note: Iran avoids almost all civilian casualties. They are more precise in military action, better trained, and more professional and disciplined than the US backed Israeli forces.

[Vondarkstar]

Iran will be lucky if they are not glass by the end of the week.

Israel constantly attacked from 1948 - present

The first war, in 1948–49, began when Israel declared itself an independent state following the United Nations’ partition of Palestine

The U.S. and Soviet Union governments provided diplomatic assistance (diplomatic recognition) to the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.

The military forces of Egypt, Transjordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen attacked the State of Israel on May 15, 1948.

[talldave]

[lori]

Cohen is too old to be on TV. find a current person.

[spike]

Palestinians defending their territory, and Israelis defending themselves must be 2 entirely different meanings,

[fordsrestorations]

The missiles look like the older homemade ones

[gathrightcrystal]

I am not handicapped. I didnt want to ride with the old and forgetful one 😎🚬

[stoopstified]

I can't remember the last time joe spoke to the country...5 days since the hurricane... middle East on the verge of WW 3...and nothing

[joetran]
