FACT - Israel bombed an Iranian Embassy and killed people [View all] malaise Apr 13 OP

Hypocrisy abounds... WarGamer Apr 13 #1

Just to be clear, Israel didn't attack the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 13 #2

Hold on, a Consulate is generally the BUILDING that holds the Embassy.. WTF is the difference here? TeamProg Apr 13 #48

In this case it was next to the Embassy EX500rider Apr 13 #49

You hold on, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 13 #50

Still, a fantastic idea! Right???? Right?? right.....? TeamProg Apr 13 #64

WTF is your problem? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 13 #66

Just saying that bombing the Iranian Consulate in an allied nation was a fantastic idea, right? TeamProg Apr 13 #98

It was an attack on the commanders of the Iranian Muslim National Guard wnylib Apr 14 #140
