Iron Dome , like everything else about Israel, is a bit of a hoax. Israel has undermined the aura of invulnerability it tries to convey to both its enemies and its citizens. It became known to the world that Israel's defenses can only repel conventional rockets used by Palestinian resistance fighters. Iran has clearly shown it has the ability to hurt Israel if it wants to - from analyst Kathleen Johnstone.

Last night, Iran fired more than a hundred missiles at military targets in Israel. This was in retaliation for last week's Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut.

Iran claims that 90 percent of its missiles hit their targets. It is impossible to confirm or deny this number, as the Israeli military is withholding information on the location of the strike and damage. However, videos have been leaked showing explosions and craters on the ground where rockets landed. This means that the rockets are not stopped by Israel's so-called Iron Dome defense system.

So Iron Dome , like everything else about Israel, is a bit of a hoax. Israel has undermined the aura of invulnerability it tries to convey to both its enemies and its citizens. It became known to the world that Israel's defenses can only repel conventional rockets used by Palestinian resistance fighters. Iran has made it clear that it has the ability to hurt Israel if it wants to.

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the US would work with Israel to ensure Iran faces "severe consequences" for its strikes. This indicates that the situation may become serious.

Western officials denounced Iran's attack as a "dangerous escalation." But they don't say a word about Western-sponsored escalations, such as a year of horrors in Gaza, the invasion of Lebanon, or Israel's constant assassination attacks in neighboring countries.

After calling the Iranian attack a senseless and unacceptable escalation, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller was asked by reporters whether he considered Israel's actions over the past three weeks to be an escalation. Miller comically refused to acknowledge Israel's drastic actions, saying instead that Israel has "taken steps to escalate the conflict" to fight terrorism.

Ever since Israel began its invasion of Lebanon, we've been seeing the same strange puns in the media. In order to avoid using the word "invasion", they use phrases such as " raids " , "ground attack", "ground operation" and "Israel entered Lebanon" in their headlines. It was the same media that had previously mocked Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation."

Yes , friends: Iran's attacks are "escalating the situation"; And Israel's attacks are "expanding the conflict." Attacks in Lebanon - "terrorism"; Israel's attacks are in "self-defense." Russia "invaded"; Israel launched a "limited ground operation". Destruction of Gaza is just a "response to the events of October 7"; The events of October 7 happened "for no reason". It's bad for them to do it, it's good for us to do it.

Hypocrisy is rampant throughout the Western Empire, because the Western Empire is not what it originally was. It pretends to be for peace and stability, but in reality it is for war and domination. It pretends to defend human rights, but in reality it supports tyranny and violence. He pretends to fight for truth and justice, but in reality he promotes lies and propaganda.

We were born into this dystopia, and it is leading us down an increasingly dangerous path. Beware of him, my dears.
