Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that he launched airstrikes against Iran to prevent “a nuclear holocaust,” claiming his government had intelligence that Iran was months away from developing an initial nuclear weapon.
“We had to act,” Netanyahu told Fox’s Bret Baier on Sunday (local time). “It was the 12th hour, and we did act. To save ourselves but also […] to protect the world from this incendiary régime.”
“The intel we got and we shared with the United States was absolutely clear: That they were working in a secret plan to weaponize the uranium, they were marching very quickly, they would achieve a test device and possibly an initial device within months, and certainly less than a year,” he said.
“That is something that we couldn’t possibly accept,” he continued. “We will not have a second holocaust, a nuclear holocaust. We already had one, in the previous century — the Jewish state is not going to have the holocaust committed on the Jewish people. It’s not going to happen.”
Netanyahu also claimed that Israel saw enough enriched uranium for nine bombs. “All they had to do was weaponize them. We stopped that.”
Asked if régime change was among his objectives in Iran, Netanyahu said: “It could certainly be the result, because the Iran régime is very weak.”
Netanyahu said “80 percent of the people would throw these theological thugs out.”
“They shoot women because their hair is uncovered. They shoot students. They just suck the oxygen out from these brave and gifted people, the Iranian people.”
“The decision to act, to rise up this time, is the decision of the Iranian people.”
In short, Netanyahu thinks that Usonians are all blockheads.
“They shoot women because their hair is uncovered. They shoot students. They just suck the oxygen out from these brave and gifted people, the Iranian people.”
You know, that reminds me of another country that does something similar to certain groups of people… I wonder which one it was…
They also don’t lmao. For the past 2 years they haven’t mandated this in Tehran.
Also 80%? When Trump assassinated their general there were millions on the streets.
Hey guys, remember how everyone’s been saying China’s gonna crumble for decades now?
You know what people have also been saying for decades now? That Iran was going to build nukes any day now; Israel’s been fearmongering about this for decades now. Is it possible NOW that Iran may build them? Sure, but only because it’s literally become the only thing to deter being invaded or nuked ‘pre-emptively’
“All they had to do was weaponize them. We stopped that.”
So basically the thing Israel has been fearmongering about that has no evidence it was happening now won’t happen and, again, there’s no evidence it was happening and thus no evidence it was stopped but we have to take your word for it
“80 percent of the people would throw these theological thugs out.”
Hey what percentage of the population do you think are excited you’re bombing their country?
“They shoot women because their hair is uncovered. They shoot students. They just suck the oxygen out from these brave and gifted people, the Iranian people.”
Now this is probably gonna come as a massive shock to you, but wait’ll you hear what you and your country have been doing for literally almost two years now!
“The decision to act, to rise up this time, is the decision of the Iranian people.”
You heard the man Fox news! Time to send a correspondent out to Iran and hear the people’s views from their own mouths about what’s happening right now! I’m sure it’ll reflect exactly what’s been stated here! Also you’ll DEFINITELY win a Pulitzer prize for inventing the technique of talking to people being attacked/invaded by a Western country rather than just hearing about them from people who’ve never been there! It’s my own invention but I’m willing to let you have the prize for actually putting in the effort to talk to the people there, something Western news has literally yet to invent!
In short, Netanyahu thinks that Usonians are all blockheads.
well he is not wrong there, he is one itself.
Are people really so dense as to believe this? We’ve literally heard this lie already. It’s not been that long.
The god damn zionists and their “preemptive” strikes will kill us all.
Yeah, kick in the front door and it all come crumbling down. I remember there being someone else saying something along those lines.
So I guess this is the new WMD, not “They have a nuke” but “They may perhaps develop one at some point in the future.” I look forward to them declaring war on China because “They might build the Death Star from Star Wars at some point!”
Says the corrupt genocidal child killer facing prison if martial law ends. Sure.
Not to mention zionism is full of apocalyptic shit.
Christian zios gettin juiced for the rapturebowl
Remember that this garbage is all for western consumption and based on the classic propaganda talking point that the enemy government is universally despised by the population that is somehow supposedly always westbrained liberal democrat capitalist in secret and “just want change” and a chance to become like the US/EU (homeless, no healthcare etc high quality of life western things). Then you may get the BBC interviewing astroturf “activists” from CIA-front NGOs “fighting for democracy” (often 2nd gen born in the UK or something) to demonstrate how unpopular a government is. Usually they exploit and weaponize LGBTQ issues to justify the attached westoid, bougie propaganda they’re pushing which in turn makes it even harder for LGBTQ people in conservative countries because suddenly besides being “immoral”, they can also be suspected to be puppets of regime change NGOs. Pretty much the ideological/propaganda form of using human shields.
In reality even the nazis had significant popular support and the idea that an entire population somehow sides with a country attacking them is a total lie. If anything, this causes more support usually not less. Prime example being Israelis being majority pro-genocide at this point.
If the headline used Netanyahu’s quote about preventing the “Second Holocaust” all the readers would get a little cognitive dissonance
