Crazy seeing the missiles in the sky and then seeing them get shot down. I'm sure the pieces of the missiles falling to the ground still cause damage and are dangerous.
 
It appears the attack is over for now and folks are given all clear to leave bomb shelters
 
There was also a terrorist mass shooting in Tel Aviv today.

And people wonder why the rest of the world never trusts the United States.

We constantly talk out of both sides of our mouth when it comes to human rights and war crimes.

When Putin says he will target nuclear facilities in Ukraine, we rightly lambast him as a lunatic.

When Bibi says he will target nuclear facilities in Iran, we send him more weapons.

I guess, but I feel like it makes conflict in the region feel intractable. In reality, there is a solution to the problem. Israel just refuses to do anything about it.

I’m not going to respond to BattBoy’s dumb point because I know his position on this is unmovable. Curious to hear from you what makes you think this conflict is about religion?

The Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iran have all said that their attacks on Israel are directly because of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
 
I understand that there are valid criticisms of Israel, but in this very particular instance in which they are being directly attacked militarily on their own sovereign soil by a foreign adversary, do folks really believe that Israel (and to an extent the United States as one of her primary allies) doesn't have the right to respond in whatever manner they see fit? I can't imagine anyone would think that if the United States were under direct missile attack from a foreign adversary, that we shouldn't retaliate with the explicit purpose of significantly reducing or eliminating the enemy's ability or desire to conduct further attacks.

Israel has bombed Lebanon, Syria, and Iran in the past few years. Do those countries have a right to defend themselves from a foreign adversary?

That's an appropriate snapshot of the action. Now watch the full length feature and it gets a lot more complex.
