I love how they call the Israeli's attack retaliation and the Iranian attack a strike. Everything over there is retaliation. The Iran attack was because Israel attacked Iran's consulate in Damascus, Syria on April 1st.

How can no one mentioned Israel bombing Syria!!??

Plenty of money for war but no money for homeless, veterans, education, hunger, school lunches, etc.

[MatchaCocoaDog]

Draft AIPAC and its supporters to fight this. Leave the rest of us out of this crap!

[whaeverpickaname]

I like how no major news organization is saying how Israel bombed, The Iranian embassy which is not allowed

[airgizmo]

The hypocrisy is just laughable at this point.

They never have trouble finding money for war.

[michaelrusch]

Honestly I’m so tired of Middle East escalating things, Israel should be alone on this one

[welliamd]

This wasn't retaliation, this was escalation.

[alexgray]

So they’re calling Israel’s attack retaliatory but not mentioning that irans attack was also retaliatory?

[JamesBond-zmrn]

Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, the attack on Iran’s diplomatic premise in Syria was considered an attack on Iran’s territory.
Iran respond was correct.
Israel is doing wrong.

[paulvaultguy]

We should withhold aid to Israel because of this We can't support aggressive military states

[johnhayes]

America is an embarrassment at this stage. The double standards are shocking!

[Afflictamine]

israel: "palestinians want to kill us"
also israel: bombs lebanon, bombs syria, bombs iran, bombs iraq

[ms.l]

You mean Israel did a counter-attack in response to Iran's counter-attack on
Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran's consulate on April 1st.

[abdurrahmanmungan]

In America, saying "stop" to a murderer has become a crime.

[slimjong-un]

[ekaterinavalinakova]

Don’t drag Americans into this. Hell no we won’t go.

[sholeha]
