women 'less' than western or other women? Who stands for them as they are held hostage and raped and killed? Where are the western feminists? Why are they playing a game on the fence?
The targets were military. Via Grok: how much damage and death was caused by the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel?
Answer
Based on the information available up to October 5, 2024, the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel resulted in minimal damage and a single reported fatality. The deceased was a 37-year-old Palestinian man named Samih Asali from Jabalia, killed by falling shrapnel in the West Bank. There have been claims and counter-claims regarding the extent of the damage and casualties, but from verified reports:
Casualties: Only one confirmed death has been consistently reported across different sources, with some posts on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning injuries but no further confirmed fatalities directly from the attack.
Damage: The attack aimed at Israeli military targets, including airbases like Nevatim and Tel Nof, and reportedly hit areas around these bases, a school in Gedera, and near the Mossad headquarters. However, the damage described in reports was not extensive or catastrophic. Israeli and U.S. defense systems intercepted many of the missiles, reducing the attack's effectiveness. Some damage to infrastructure was noted, like in Gedera where a classroom was hit, but overall, the physical damage was limited.
Effectiveness: The attack was described in various reports as being largely thwarted by Israel's missile defense systems, with most missiles intercepted or causing minor damage.
Unverified Claims: There have been higher casualty figures and more significant damage claims circulated, especially on social platforms, but these have not been corroborated by official or widespread journalistic sources as of the last update.
Remember, information on such events can be fluid, with initial reports sometimes containing inaccuracies. However, as of the latest data, the attack's impact in terms of both damage and human loss was considerably less than what might be expected from the scale of the missile launch, largely due to effective defensive measures.

The recent Iranian missile attack on Israel, which took place on October 1, 2024, involved the launch of approximately 180 ballistic missiles. Although this marked a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, the overall damage and casualties were relatively limited, thanks to Israel’s advanced air defense systems, such as the Iron Dome and Arrow. These systems intercepted a large number of the incoming missiles, preventing a major catastrophe. However, some missiles did strike military air bases, such as Nevatim and Tel Nof, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure, but no aircraft were reported destroyed(The Times of Israel)(KNBA).
In terms of human impact, there were few reported casualties. Some Israeli officials have acknowledged damage to air base facilities but have emphasized that the country's military capabilities remain intact. The strikes did prompt widespread international condemnation, as the attack heightened fears of a broader regional conflict(The Times of Israel)(KNBA).
Although the immediate effects were limited, the political and military consequences of the attack are still unfolding, with Israel vowing a calculated response at a time and place of its choosing(The Times of Israel)(Military Benefits).
question is, what should Israel do? Can another nation be lobbing missiles into a place with citizens and it go unanswered? a 2nd time? what would we do in USA if same? what is an appropriate response?
Wrong answer. You have been backed into a corner by the Neocons. If the US/Neocons/Israel take out the Iranian nuclear program, they will also destroy their oil facilities and cause the energy crisis they so desire to starve China.
That is not a proportionate response, it is escalation, which is the wrong answer.
Can Israel do it and it go unanswered? The rhetoric reminds me of the Russian "surprise attack" on the Ukraine. Also I dont think other states should tell what Israel should do, but the US does and by design it then becomes a proxy war, same like Ukraine-Russia. You understand it regarding the Ukraine proxy war, but somehow are willfully blind to the proxy war with Israel/Iran etc. Its one thing to help Israel (ally) defend itself against others, but you cant say it was somehow predictable (in this case nothing even happened), just look what they do and did in Gaza, Libanon etc., also it becomes a different story (proxy war) if you try to order or support Isreal to fight a proxy war for the US, like "taking out the nuclear program". This is typical bush era neocon war time speech, just in this case you want other free people in Israel or Ukraine to do your dirty job. There is no evidence that Iran has or is "1-2 weeks out of development" of a nuclear bomb. But it doesnt matter, No? We had the rhetoric with the Iraq war, people never learn.
You are not supposed to share this. The common military industrial war mongering bush war on terror narrative demands that it was a surprise attack, with many missiles (very big), against an innocent Israel state (very innocent), A LOT of dead people (1000 times for deadly than 9/11), and that we (US) must invade or nuke Iran NOW (btw Iran has a nuclear program that we must stop and also many resources we could need, also conflicts in this area are always good because we live thousands of miles away, good for us bad for the local countries)

I say it is time Israel takes out the nuclear program
Yes, like its time Ukraine takes out Russia. (I hope you understand my point).

Dr Alexander, you are too good of a man to do anything against your heart. That's what makes you so special.
Please take a listen to this.
It won't change you mind.
We will have WW3 no matter what.
But this may help you see how complicated this is.
Thank you for all you do.

Israel could stop stealing land. And give.up on the Greater Israel Project.
But they won't.
So we will have an Extinction Level Nuclear Armageddon.
As old as I am,
It's pointless to care.
So bombs away ! 💥 💥 💥

Since when is a State filed with land pirates innocent?
Just as another reminder, Israel stole that land. Also simply because they claim they are God's chosen people, doesn't make it so.
Isral has attacked all of its neighbors since 1947.
Then when the Arabs fight back the jews start crying VICTIM (oy vey)
And the USA saves them.
Silly Goyim, will you never learn?
God bless Israel and its people.
Hello Karen. I've no desire to change your viewpoint.
But there are many fasts to this problem. Even Donald Trump said we'll probably have a nuclear war before the election.
Please give this post a listen to.
And if you like it or not I'd love to hear your opinion of it.

I've been impressed by a few individuals in my time but Douglas Murray is among those of whom I have a very high opinion.
He speaks with rare clarity amongst those who are opining about foreign affairs.
This is a riveting interview.
Jealousy.
We won't let the government tell us to take a vaccine, but we will let the jew take us into a nuclear war..

Israel finally gets Iran where it wants it. IMO
"Time for the destruction and hate to end. "
what do you mean by this?
You mean like killing millions of innocent people (destruction) to end the destruction?
Do you expect to kill innocent people and then "hate to end"?
