Should Israel respond to Iran's 'massive escalation in war'? | David Cameron v Richard Goldberg

“We're in a far more dangerous world than we've been for decades. And this was a dangerous and reckless act by Iran towards Israel."

Foreign secretary Lord Cameron tells #TimesRadio the “smart and tough thing to do” for Israel is not to escalate conflict with Iran. But Trump’s former advisor says US-backed direct military retaliation "has to happen" and that pulling Israel back is a "mistake”.

What a disgrace, Cameron shows no shame 😤

[christopherpinnock]

Cameron demonstrate why he should not have come back into government.

[flamboyentpromotions]

Those questions to Cameron were a disgrace, no mention of the attack on the consulate no mention of a permanent ceasefire an alot more

Israel attacked the Iranian embassy and this is the retaliation of that attack. BUT YOU are talking about israel retaliating. Very dishonest of you.

[FeizollahRezaei]

Disgusting, no honesty in his words.

To say that Iran is a malign influence, is to have double standards, if you are unwilling to acknowledge that Israel has been a malign influence on Palestine for a very long time. Our world leaders need to stop their war games, and behave like mature adults. All countries and people, need to be respected. Their beliefs, points of view, needs, need to be respected. Adults don't destroy each other when they disagree, they talk, they negotiate, they allow each other space, and they respect each others boundaries. They do not bomb!

Why are we pretending that Israel didn't attack first?

The top comments of this video are strangely nebulous: just shouting out a person's or country's name with an emoji is seemingly created to divide and enrage readers without engaging with the topic at hand.

Say one think but mean something else.. totally warmongers are in western countries.this will not end here ..

[zaaqa]

Only Israel has the right to defend itself, nobody else! 😂

[gracelynmeade]

Hypocrite, stop the double standards. Face the truth, only justice will bring peace.?

[abigaileggleston]

Why would Hamas agree to anything other than a permanent ceasefire? Or give up their only leverage?

[philiplindley]

Absolutely, Israel should react, and in their usual manner,

[MonicaC-_-]

When u say “cameron” and “bojo” u know it…

[Xibao]

This attack was so well telegraphed it seemed more like a show than an attack. I suspect Israel knows it was just a show as well.

[sybentley]

This part of the world will be the ruin of us all.

I think it’s very dangerous of Cameron to say that Iran “Failed” we all know that missile interception is quite good these days.
In my opinion Iran had two items on the agenda.
1) you killed our people, we can and will respond in force.
2) and to find out just how good the Israeli defences are. Now they know.
So two out of two successes. Israel should now say. “Okay, we know, and we get your message. No real damage was done, so we won’t respond…. Unless you try it again, in which case stand from under”
My personal opinion is that if Israel did respond… nobody could really blame them .

I mean they hit the base that hit there embassy so all in all it wasn’t a double failure
