The head of Israel’s military has said the country would respond to Iran’s weekend attack as several Western countries urged Israel to avoid an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.

Iran’s attack – launched in retaliation for an Israeli strike on its embassy compound in Damascus earlier this month – has increased fears of open warfare between Israel and Iran and heightened concerns that violence rooted in Israel’s war on Gaza is spreading further in the region.

French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and United Kingdom Foreign Secretary David Cameron made similar appeals, echoing calls for restraint by Washington and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Iran already said it was done...they shot off a bunch of fireworks in protest of a fucking war crime that won't get punished.

Israel has lost it's fucking mind.

With the money we spend supporting Israel, we could be making Haiti a paradise.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Or we could colonize Haiti instead of Palestine! Omelette du Fromage what a great idea.

Pretty sure someone tried that once and it ended poorly for them.

I'm not sure where you got that from, but I do not agree with it.

Just a joke, Haiti was coloniezd by the French before hence the Dexter's lab reference.
