The conflict between Israel and Iran is getting worse and worse. Hopefully both sides will see sense before the situation is totally out of control.

I admire your optimism, but we are talking about Netanyahu and Iran. I fear no good will come of this.

No tears for Iran. It can do one as far as I'm concerned.

Israel is clearly a theofascist, warmongering rogue state. Why are Western democracies still defending it?

Because they perceive the alternatives as being worse options is my best guess.

Sobering read:

Yeah I'm with the ordinary people of Iran - given Ali Khamenei's support for police brutality against Iranian protestors, a lot of Iranians may be happy that the key Iranian leaders have been killed.

Israel's missile strikes into Iran seems even more reason for any future leaders of Iran to pursue nuclear weapons unless they want to become like Libya or Iraq and be at the mercy of regime-change by the US and its allies.

The thing that comes across there is the utter weariness of the people.
