"They wanna fuck around? They should find out How much retaliation is necessary before a point has been made? " That’s for the military and intelligence to decide. They know far more about the enemies ability to strike again. The US even warned Iran before their last strikes so they could evacuate military targets, because they don’t want to kill people, they want to remove their ability to attack | |||

The objective is for the arms industry to make money, doesn't matter that it's at the tax payers expense. | |||

I’d say the US warning Iran of the targets they were going to hit to minimise human deaths is a pretty big factor in how proportional it was | |||

They have released their proxies and the world has been in turmoil for nearly 4 months. I pray you're right. And then there's Russia..." Yes, both Russia and Iran have decided to hit out at roughly the same time. I'm not saying the actions of Russia and Iran were known, but it was known both were building up anger at the west and they were able to watch the west go into many melt downs over a relatively small period showing gaps in social coherence, which they have used to their advantage. Covid, the response and countries struggling with the social backlash. Trump pulling the US out the Iranian nuclear deal, the US political infighting and Putin using NATO dominance on its borders to basically take back what he thinks his is to own whilst pointing the finger squarely at the west. Iran are by far the most unsettling of the 2 at the moment as their proxies will bow down to their masters order, which has created world unrest for the last 4 months. | |||

" It all depends on what the USA is up to and if it suits their own interests... If it's against anything ethical ... e.g Isreal, then they have a difficult time in waivering erhics to suit the narrative, e.g. portraying Isreal as the poor victims "defending themselves" . Or venesuala. Trying to replace madero for a puppet leader Guido... Nothing to do with the mineral wealth of the country. That disaster swept under the carpet. As always the UK gets dragged into american conflict.. WMD lies for example.. the usa have a bad record for lies unfortunately | |||

It's the Middle that's being disrupted and destroyed by the west. These ships are literally passing within few miles from the Yemeni shores. 10000 miles away from America and 5000 miles away from the UK. And the Yemenis are doing this for Palestine not for Iran. And Hamas'Attacks didn't start because Iran wants them to Attack. These people are in an Open air Prison for 17 years and under Occupation for 100 years. They're fighting for their freedom not for some bs conspiracy if "Iran wanting to disrupt the west". You're totally out of touch with reality | |||

"To all those posters who mocked me when I said I was going to start to boycott McDonald's and other outlets that supported Israel and it's genocide in Gazza. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68209085 It takes time for a boycott to take affect, things will only get worst as this genocide goes on. " Surely any mocking was not to do with the efficacy of a boycott, but rather that McDonald's had nothing to do with supporting Israel. It was a franchise owner in Israel who gave free food to soldiers who mobilised in the wake of October 7th. Before even a hint of the "genocide" that you mention? Are you really proud of hurting franchise owners in Malaysia because a franchise owner in Israel fed soldiers for free? Well done. | |||

How would option a work, and how would it solve the current problem in the Red Sea?" option (a) is obvious but some are too obstinate to acknowledge /admit it. The houthis have stated "in support of Gaza". Wether or not their own statement or issued by Iran, I believe their statements more than the Americans who try to say it's nothing to do with Gaza. | |||

" The USA want to attack Iran and they have for a while. The USA economy is tied with oil, and for years oil producing countries have wanted to trade oil using their own currencies and not the dollar if they got their way the USA would go in to economic melt down, which would have a tile effect on the UK France and others who trade in oil hence the support the USA receives from us and others. I would say ask Saddam or Gaffadi who were leading the change with other African countries but they are both dead without us hearing what they had to say. | |||

"Sorry if I am being a bit slow on the uptake but…why boycott McDonalds (apart from it being shit food)? Has the Corporation expressed support for Israel (not individual franchisees)? Is McDonalds owned by Israel? Sorry but I am a bit confused "Firstly don't be confused by the burgers, McDonalds is a franchise, but they own the land the franchise owners trade on. With the money they earn they buy land, and with those profits they support their interests one of which is Israel who also love a bit of land, which in turn is not good for those in Gaza as we are seeing. Starbucks, Puma and others are also experiencing the effects, boycotts of these companies have been in effect since before this genocide started, just more people have joined the boycott since they heard soldiers are being given free meals in Israel. The MSM have only just started to report this hence why people are now asking questions as they become aware. | |||

Firstly don't be confused by the burgers, McDonalds is a franchise, but they own the land the franchise owners trade on.
With the money they earn they buy land, and with those profits they support their interests one of which is Israel who also love a bit of land, which in turn is not good for those in Gaza as we are seeing.
Starbucks, Puma and others are also experiencing the effects, boycotts of these companies have been in effect since before this genocide started, just more people have joined the boycott since they heard soldiers are being given free meals in Israel.
The MSM have only just started to report this hence why people are now asking questions as they become aware."I am perfectly aware of how franchises work thanks. I still can’t see how McDonalds are directly supporting Israel? | |||

You need to remove your bias brain cataract to see clearly and understand what's the connection between McDonald's and Shops that advertise themselves as McDonald's. Franchise or not. It's McDonald's.
Ok so I have politely asked a question related to the McDonalds boycott. I have not insulted or belittled anyone. Neither have I taken sides. You can green arrow me for my views on the Israel/Palestine conflict (now and historical).
But you decide to be insulting and say to me “bias brain cataract”. How very immature and actually so far off the mark as to be laughable!

Because that's what the Internet told them to do.
Hahaha love that retort, but there is a flaw in your retort, I do not do social media this is my only link to the social media world in short I am not influenced by the MSM or social media, and I am surprised that everyday human beings support the mass murder of those who've been held in captivity by a race of people who have experienced the same thing.
You don't do MSM or social media (apart from here). Where do you get your news from?
The common sense history media, listen I do not really want to get into the our our news is wrong and my news is right petty argument which I have seen you do before and muddy the waters.
What I have wrote is fact you mocked me because you simply didn't know as your media is owned by those in power and pushes a murder is good narrative.
Now due to financial and investment concerns the story has to be reported.
It is not my concern that what you believe is full of redacted information, in short your told half a story now you have the full story, you want to know what I follow so you can refute it, dream on.
Wtf was that all about? I only asked where you get your news from?
I didn't mock you at all.
You said you didn't want to get into it, then ranted on about 'my news', not even knowing how I gather news.

I am perfectly aware of how franchises work thanks. I still can’t see how McDonalds are directly supporting Israel?
MC Donalds are/were supplying free meals to the isreali military
The entire McDonalds corporation or a single franchise owner? Are franchisees permitted to use own discretion and local conditions to make decisions or do they have to run every decision by Corp HQ?
Given the magnitude ..Yes they should have ran it by corp HQ first.
That wasn’t my question. I asked do they have to? In other words how much latitude do franchisees have for local decision making? In this case did the franchisee in question ask Corp HQ’s permission? If they did and got a “yes go ahead” then THAT coupd be taken as McDonalds supporting the actions of the IDF. If no permission was sought then it only shows this was a local decision."They make about 75% of their decisions, but would have had to contact their media dept first before they acted. So McDonalds would of been aware of the franchise actions before they gave away the food. But my point is the land McDonalds own world wide including Israel. Mcdonalds business model is not selling burgers, their model is to buy land first and foremost. And it is the money they make which a percentage goes to Israel through the government in the guise of support. But it is money for favours as the jewish lobby in USA and UK are very powerful and can grant favours to corporations. Now as you haven't yet heard this you may not believe it, but it was me who stated McDonalds were facing boycott, and months later the MSM have had to admit it, only because it is to keep the confidence of their investors. Plenty of other companies are being boycotted and when its time to tell their investors we will learn more and begin to see what is really happening here. It is not about a franchise it is about land, money and influence. | |||

Hahaha love that retort, but there is a flaw in your retort, I do not do social media this is my only link to the social media world in short I am not influenced by the MSM or social media, and I am surprised that everyday human beings support the mass murder of those who've been held in captivity by a race of people who have experienced the same thing.

The common sense history media, listen I do not really want to get into the our our news is wrong and my news is right petty argument which I have seen you do before and muddy the waters.

"There are 10 countries contributing to operation prosperity guardian... Defending isreali government illegal activity is getting expensive, not just the current operations in Gaza but the illegal land grabbing I liked your other comment... The operation is to defend civilian ships from attack by Iranian funded forces in Yemen, who are indiscriminately firing missiles at unarmed vessels. The attacks are in retaliation to the attacks on Gaza by Israel armed forces, who in turn are attacking in retaliation for the attack on the people by Hamas, who are funded and armed by Iran. As for cost, I'm not sure how much it is costing to stop Iran disrupting the west, do you? No I don't.. currently neither will anyone else .. Not just financially but lives of service personnel. Personally I wouldn't mind paying extra if shipping went via Cape of good hope if it means not risking our personnel but that would appear to be giving in and embolden them.. plus the Suez canal operators would be complaining. If you are willing to bow down and pay more, when would your boundaries stop being pushed? This is an itch an inconvenience that will grow into something more dangerous if not tackled early, and in doing so service men and women may not be called upon further. Bowing down as you put it is option b. Because I don't want UK forces putting their lives at risk in supporting isreali genocide and illegal expansions., Which you support. Option a would be to stop Isreal's genocide and illegal settlements but noooo.! You have the ordacity to want our military to risk their lives to double down on something that's morally ethically *wrong* and illegal!! Shame on you!! You don’t seem to be able to discuss the post I made. I was discussing specifically the attacks on civilian shipping and the UK’s involvement after you questioned the why. What came next is you going on another rant, and finishing it off with shame on you, which to be totally transparent I hear in a screaming teenage female voice, as you can imagine that does make me smile. Try and keep on topic, if you’re going to keep saying I support genocide because I challenge the puppet master Iran and their involvement, be specific in the thing I’ve said that led you to that, or as I’m doing now I just dismiss as a lack of argument from yourself.
When international laws and the Geneva convention were drawn up, everyone would rightly think that it was universal. I haven't read them but I doubt there was an expemption for Isreal.
Your just warping things to suit your ideology and selfish interests, and you know that."Still off the topic I was talking about I see.... I also see you calling other posters genocide supporters, crazy stuff! If a person asks a question or has a an opinion that is not the same as the Iranian propaganda you suck up, they are genocide supporters.. Even after saying they don't support the mass killings of civilians. | |||

Might be the mail or express or even GB news "All everyone needs to know is that I said there was and still is an on going boycott, just because your sources have withheld information from you isn't my fault.Maybe you will now look at your MSM sources and look for confirmation of what you are reading elsewhere. Look at the money if you know how because who is providing it has a self interest. Another thing, Now the story has broken in MSM the excuse is "misinformation", this is becoming common now especially if this news is new, which you know it isn't. If it was new to me, I wouldn't know who to believe, I would be all confused and not feel safe as I do not know or I am unsure of my reality. Which is the aim of this misinformation crusade. | |||

Firstly don't be confused by the burgers, McDonalds is a franchise, but they own the land the franchise owners trade on.
With the money they earn they buy land, and with those profits they support their interests one of which is Israel who also love a bit of land, which in turn is not good for those in Gaza as we are seeing.
Starbucks, Puma and others are also experiencing the effects, boycotts of these companies have been in effect since before this genocide started, just more people have joined the boycott since they heard soldiers are being given free meals in Israel.
The MSM have only just started to report this hence why people are now asking questions as they become aware.
I am perfectly aware of how franchises work thanks. I still can’t see how McDonalds are directly supporting Israel?
You need to remove your bias brain cataract to see clearly and understand what's the connection between McDonald's and Shops that advertise themselves as McDonald's. Franchise or not. It's McDonald's.
Ok so I have politely asked a question related to the McDonalds boycott. I have not insulted or belittled anyone. Neither have I taken sides. You can green arrow me for my views on the Israel/Palestine conflict (now and historical).
But you decide to be insulting and say to me “bias brain cataract”. How very immature and actually so far off the mark as to be laughable!

Lol"The last two posters in this quote are confused as it was about AsndE2000 saying to me “bias brain cataract” after I asked a polite question. When they were called out on it they didn’t apologise so I said they were acting childishly. Hence another poster saying AndE2000 were name calling and I was making an observation. Looking at various threads it seems AandE2000 are unable to discuss politics without attacking people. I suggest they research “Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement” and maybe consider their behaviour because otherwise is it any wonder why the human race is incapable of living in peace! | |||

"Sorry if I am being a bit slow on the uptake but…why boycott McDonalds (apart from it being shit food)? Has the Corporation expressed support for Israel (not individual franchisees)? Is McDonalds owned by Israel? Sorry but I am a bit confused
Firstly don't be confused by the burgers, McDonalds is a franchise, but they own the land the franchise owners trade on.
With the money they earn they buy land, and with those profits they support their interests one of which is Israel who also love a bit of land, which in turn is not good for those in Gaza as we are seeing.
Starbucks, Puma and others are also experiencing the effects, boycotts of these companies have been in effect since before this genocide started, just more people have joined the boycott since they heard soldiers are being given free meals in Israel.
The MSM have only just started to report this hence why people are now asking questions as they become aware.
I am perfectly aware of how franchises work thanks. I still can’t see how McDonalds are directly supporting Israel?
You need to remove your bias brain cataract to see clearly and understand what's the connection between McDonald's and Shops that advertise themselves as McDonald's. Franchise or not. It's McDonald's.
Ok so I have politely asked a question related to the McDonalds boycott. I have not insulted or belittled anyone. Neither have I taken sides. You can green arrow me for my views on the Israel/Palestine conflict (now and historical).
But you decide to be insulting and say to me “bias brain cataract”. How very immature and actually so far off the mark as to be laughable!
I think you need to cool your jets and maybe take a bit of time out

Sometimes it's not worth the time or effort to reply.
Or apologise for getting personal and being childish it seems! Ok you be you
You considered my reply is an insult. Assuming that's true. By calling me childish. We're square now. I hope that gives you peace or go get a McDonald's
One was name-calling, the other was an observation. Quite different. We also still observe your inability to state where you get your news if its not social media or msm...
it was myself who was asked that question, and I gave a reply.
Lol
The last two posters in this quote are confused as it was about AsndE2000 saying to me “bias brain cataract” after I asked a polite question. When they were called out on it they didn’t apologise so I said they were acting childishly. Hence another poster saying AndE2000 were name calling and I was making an observation.
Looking at various threads it seems AandE2000 are unable to discuss politics without attacking people. I suggest they research “Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement” and maybe consider their behaviour because otherwise is it any wonder why the human race is incapable of living in peace!

But you know what the first paragraph has me thinking, there is a line isn't there, in any conflict were what you have pointed out could become a reality, but it is how one see things in this situation, I believe that one mans terrorist is one mans freedom fighter depending on which side of the fence one is one, with Gazza the Palestinians sit on the side of the fence which has taken there rights, has them depending on aid to survive, being taken off the street and put in prison, coming home to find someone else is living there. If I was an Israeli I would be living in constant fear of reprisals against what my people and government are doing to their way of life and I would kick back. As an example the IRA political wing are now running NI, even though they bombed my home town I still saw them as oppressed. | |||

"Sorry if I am being a bit slow on the uptake but…why boycott McDonalds (apart from it being shit food)? Has the Corporation expressed support for Israel (not individual franchisees)? Is McDonalds owned by Israel? Sorry but I am a bit confused
Firstly don't be confused by the burgers, McDonalds is a franchise, but they own the land the franchise owners trade on.
With the money they earn they buy land, and with those profits they support their interests one of which is Israel who also love a bit of land, which in turn is not good for those in Gaza as we are seeing.
Starbucks, Puma and others are also experiencing the effects, boycotts of these companies have been in effect since before this genocide started, just more people have joined the boycott since they heard soldiers are being given free meals in Israel.
The MSM have only just started to report this hence why people are now asking questions as they become aware.
I am perfectly aware of how franchises work thanks. I still can’t see how McDonalds are directly supporting Israel?
You need to remove your bias brain cataract to see clearly and understand what's the connection between McDonald's and Shops that advertise themselves as McDonald's. Franchise or not. It's McDonald's.
Ok so I have politely asked a question related to the McDonalds boycott. I have not insulted or belittled anyone. Neither have I taken sides. You can green arrow me for my views on the Israel/Palestine conflict (now and historical).
But you decide to be insulting and say to me “bias brain cataract”. How very immature and actually so far off the mark as to be laughable!
I think you need to cool your jets and maybe take a bit of time out
All gone ominously quiet from this poster who throws out insults
Sometimes it's not worth the time or effort to reply.
Or apologise for getting personal and being childish it seems! Ok you be you
You considered my reply is an insult. Assuming that's true. By calling me childish. We're square now. I hope that gives you peace or go get a McDonald's
One was name-calling, the other was an observation. Quite different. We also still observe your inability to state where you get your news if its not social media or msm...
it was myself who was asked that question, and I gave a reply.
Lol
The last two posters in this quote are confused as it was about AsndE2000 saying to me “bias brain cataract” after I asked a polite question. When they were called out on it they didn’t apologise so I said they were acting childishly. Hence another poster saying AndE2000 were name calling and I was making an observation.
Looking at various threads it seems AandE2000 are unable to discuss politics without attacking people. I suggest they research “Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement” and maybe consider their behaviour because otherwise is it any wonder why the human race is incapable of living in peace!
Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement” doesn't apply with genocide enablers, Nazies, Fascists and Zionists. And your attempt to distance McDonald's from Subcontractors of McDonald's selling McDonald's goods is ridiculous.
So no apology from you then for acting at the bottom/worse level of Graham’s hierarchy, ie Name Calling.
Sigh, THIS is why we can’t have nice things like peace. People can’t even discuss opposing views or tangential topics on a discussion forum on a swinger website without someone losing their shit
The human species is doomed! Truly doomed!
We can have peace when evil is called out instead of justified and defended. Calling you on your bias is not an insul"Show where I have demonstrated bias? | |||

I'd argue there are defintely more lefties boycotting than righties. Go onto twitter and have a look through some profiles of people speaking of boycotts, it'll paint a fairly clear picture. | |||

"Sorry if I am being a bit slow on the uptake but…why boycott McDonalds (apart from it being shit food)? Has the Corporation expressed support for Israel (not individual franchisees)? Is McDonalds owned by Israel? Sorry but I am a bit confused
Because that's what the Internet told them to do.
Hahaha love that retort, but there is a flaw in your retort, I do not do social media this is my only link to the social media world in short I am not influenced by the MSM or social media, and I am surprised that everyday human beings support the mass murder of those who've been held in captivity by a race of people who have experienced the same thing.
You don't do MSM or social media (apart from here). Where do you get your news from?
The common sense history media, listen I do not really want to get into the our our news is wrong and my news is right petty argument which I have seen you do before and muddy the waters.
What I have wrote is fact you mocked me because you simply didn't know as your media is owned by those in power and pushes a murder is good narrative.
Now due to financial and investment concerns the story has to be reported.
It is not my concern that what you believe is full of redacted information, in short your told half a story now you have the full story, you want to know what I follow so you can refute it, dream on.
Wtf was that all about? I only asked where you get your news from?
I didn't mock you at all.
You said you didn't want to get into it, then ranted on about 'my news', not even knowing how I gather news.
Mental
As the thread was taken down I cannot come back at you with the proof which is a shame, but by the thread being taken down shows how vile it was, and you were there with the rest mocking me.
Thats what that was about.
All one has to do is to press that green arrow to see the arguments you have been involved in.
Now I am off into the real world to chat with real people, can't be on here all day.
I see it, you're one of those who drags shit from other discussions and holds onto it
It was a really simple question, if you don't want to answer, I'll assume you get it from somewhere on the Internet, in which case 'the Internet told them' was a correct assertion.
Just press that green button and all will see how you are
in other words you are no better than the standards you wish to meet.
I don't need to press my own green button
Come on mate, where do you get your news if not from MSM or social media?
You already know do you not?
Well you said you knew.
But you do not really do you?
I said if you won't answer I'll have to assume. That's different to me saying I know.
Why try and twist words when the answer should be quite simple.
Then assume away.
Ah, must be the "trust me bro" media company.
Might be the mail or express or even GB news
All everyone needs to know is that I said there was and still is an on going boycott, just because your sources have withheld information from you isn't my fault.Maybe you will now look at your MSM sources and look for confirmation of what you are reading elsewhere.
Look at the money if you know how because who is providing it has a self interest.
Another thing, Now the story has broken in MSM the excuse is "misinformation", this is becoming common now especially if this news is new, which you know it isn't.
If it was new to me, I wouldn't know who to believe, I would be all confused and not feel safe as I do not know or I am unsure of my reality.
Which is the aim of this misinformation crusade."Why so coy about where you get your news from? Plenty on here frown at anything in the mail or express regardless of accuracy. I'm going to guess at the Tehran Echo or the Gazza Gazette . Time to endure a McDonalds all in a good cause | |||
