Bibi's speech:

30 September 2024, 7:57 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare direct message to the Iranian people on Monday, saying Israel “stands with you,” as it aggressively fights the Islamic Republic’s proxies across the region in response to their attacks on the Jewish state.

“Every day, you see a regime that subjugates you make fiery speeches about defending Lebanon, defending Gaza. Yet every day, that regime plunges our region deeper into darkness and deeper into war,” the premier said in an English-language video statement, which was also disseminated with Persian subtitles.

Saying Iran’s “puppets” were being eliminated, Netanyahu added there was “nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach. There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people.

“With every passing moment, the regime is bringing you — the noble Persian people — closer to the abyss,” he said. “The vast majority of Iranians know their regime doesn’t care a whit about them. If it did care, if it cared about you, it would stop wasting billions of dollars on futile wars across the Middle East. It would start improving your lives.

“Imagine if all the vast money the regime wasted on nuclear weapons and foreign wars were invested in your children’s education, in improving your health care, in building your nation’s infrastructure, water, sewage, all the other things that you need. Imagine that.”

“When Iran is finally free — and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think – everything will be different,” he asserted. “Our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people and the Persian people, will finally be at peace. Our two countries, Israel and Iran, will be at peace.

“When that day comes, the terror network that the regime built in five continents will be bankrupt, dismantled. Iran will thrive as never before: Global investment; massive tourism; brilliant technological innovation based on the tremendous talents that exist inside Iran. Doesn’t that sound better than endless poverty, repression and war?”

Netanyahu concluded by telling Iran not to “let a small group of fanatic theocrats crush your hopes and your dreams. You deserve better. Your children deserve better. The entire world deserves better. I know you don’t support the rapists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah, but your leaders do. You deserve more. The people of Iran should know — Israel stands with you. May we together know a future of prosperity and peace.”

Great speech.

A rocket impacted a school in Gedera in central Israel amid an Iranian missile attack on Israel.

Photos and videos from the scene show severe damage to the school building, though nobody was injured.

Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo, the Home Front Command chief, visits the site of the impact alongside first responders.

I'm sorry .... but is Israel complaining because Iran hit a school?

Cheesy

No that's your forte when Israel hits Palestinian schools which HAMAS use to hide under - that & hospitals and kindergartens.

John Smith,

Yes i agree, that it is shocking !!!

Iran, targeting Israeli schools, with ballistic missiles !!!

........but at least EVERYONE knows,
........that there were no IDF hiding in those schools.

Some kids are more important than others. Right Yadda?

Not according to HAMAS & HEZBOLLAH ... they hide behind any children .... but especially their own. Make great shields their women & children.

If ONE thing is clear from this morning's news ...

Is that the evidence shows, so far, is that Iran is targeting military facilities in Israel ...

Whereas Israel has repeatedly and deliberately targeted schools and hospitals, just in case there's a Hamas combatant hiding somewhere in there

... but don't expect too much 'in depth' coverage on this - for pointing this out will mean you're an anti-semite, in support of terrorism

A "sémite" is actually ...
"A member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs"

The reason for Israel's incorrect use of the term - is due to the Jewish refusal of sharing "racist" with anyone else - even though "racist" is the correct term.

I think most of the 181 missiles hit Israel. When they hit the missile the warhead still lands somewhere. I think the damage is MUCH worse that Israel is reporting.

This is just as I have predicted. The pager explosions WERE the precursors to a ground invasion! This is almost inevitable as both sides are itching for a ground war for eons. The matrix of this war is very much like Afghanistan. Israel and USA have to win to win, and Hezbollah would have to not lose to win. This is a completely asymmetric warfare.

But, as I said my friends. If the intention of Israel and US is for a regime change in Iran, then be prepared for another forever, non ending war. It will result in a power vacuum, and will give birth to another ISIL. In which case, the US wont have much energy to concentrate on South China Sea, with all its money and manpower being spent in the middle east and Ukraine at the same time. I am unsure we will get much returns from our 300 billion dollar AUKUS investment. Probably, US will push up the price of AUKUS subs soon as well just to compensate. Well, I guess, its back to work and paying taxes.

You lying POS.

I can ONLY repeat wto support your propahat I said to you LAST time
Put the verbal abuse away - and do some RESEARCH

Did you REALLY think "You lying POS" was a valid argument to support any piece of unverified Jewish propaganda ?

The definition of "anti-semite" is from the Oxford English Dictionary" - the standard reference for our language

( ... or perhaps you people have a different dictionary, all of your OWN - not wanting to share ?)

And if Israel has NOT repeatedly and deliberately targeted schools and hospitals, why have they levelled SO MANY - using, without a doubt, the most sophisticated and precise, US designed and manufactured weapons available ?

The Arabs seem to avoid these facilities - despite using Russian made, 60-year-old Scud missile technology, leftovers from the Cold War.
