Iran bombardment of Israel - what are they thinking?

[Loren Pechtel]

Iran’s unwelcome bombardment of Israel today seems a little shocking to me. They are coming out on the open with direct attack. I think a lot was intercepted, but that is a lot of bombing. Another wrong turn in this long series of wrong turns!

You expected them to just ignore the killing of Hezbollah's leadership? Not likely.

But they probably knew the Iron Dome was unlikely to crack.

That wasn't Iron Dome. Iron Dome is meant for terminal intercept of fairly low speed projectiles. It's not meant to engage ballistic missiles. That's their Arrow missiles and David's Sling, plus apparently their ability to selectively engage only those that matter.

On a serious note, the conflict between Jewish people and Arabs can be traced back in part to Nazi propaganda from Germany, which influenced Arab perceptions of Jews and European antisemitism especially in France giving birth to Zionism. I keep telling y’all, nobody’s perfect, but Europeans sure have mastered the art of imperfection. Bonne nuit.

Well, a bombing in Israel is called terrorism.

Israel uses a bomb to kill somebody in Iran is what?

Iran retaliated for the two killings of leader one in Lebanon and one in Iran by Israel as they could.

We assassinated an Iranian general vising Iraq with a drone or missile. We did it because nobody can prevent us from doing it.

No one can stop Israel, we could cut off aid but that will never happen. Iran responds as it can, it has to maintain its credibility in the region.

I know. It's shocking to see Iran finally responding to never ending stream of provocation.
