An Iranian ballistic missile impact killed nine people and wounded nearly 50 people, including several children, in the Beit Shemesh area, west of Jerusalem, in the Islamic regime's latest missile barrage launched at Israel on Sunday.
At least four apartment buildings were destroyed in the attack, Israeli media reported, adding that the Iranian missile reportedly penetrated through a shelter in the vicinity.
Some 30 ambulances from Magen David Adom were dispatched to the scene, while the IDF said that Home Front Command Search and Rescue teams, combined with numerous medical forces and a helicopter to evacuate the wounded, were operating at the scene.
The IDF also said that the early warning system functioned as planned and was activated in the impact area, while the situation was being investigated. A separate impact was registered in central Israel.

(5,284 posts)a governments bad decisions are not a reason for collective rationalization that they are "reaping the whirlwind".

For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, strangers would devour it.
The US and Israel have now crossed the Rubicon Line.

(5,284 posts).referring to the people in between, the civilians, especially those who did vote for these jackasses, they do NOT deserve to "reap the whirlwind". and adding the word, KARA implies they deserve it, which is bullshit.
It is no different then blaming the civilians killed in Gaza for the actions of hamas and the result of Israel bombing to try and eliminate hamas? Was that "karma" also? Did those civillians deserve it, because that is what KARMA implies when someone uses it, and that is what I was responding to.
trump, netanyahu, and Al Saud aren't the ones who will be the result of this deserved KARMA, it will be people who had nothing to do with it.

(17,961 posts)In WWll, there were more civilians killed than military, that's just the way of warfare, sadly.
I sure didn't take that post as approval of civilians bearing the brunt of Trumpedo's/Nuttyahoo's illegal war against Iran, I took it as what they did is the result of innocent civilians being injured/killed.

(5,284 posts)I suspect they will have a natural demise.
Now it could be argued that anyone who voted for these instigators of war could be deserving of "KARMA", and of course there is no excuse for stupidity, but I have always had problem with people using the word KARMA to justify the killing of people caught in the middle of a war instigated by madmen.
It is probable that a lot of people will be hurt or killed before this is over, and it won't be the instigators of this war.
In all probability it will be the Iranian civilians that will have the brunt of the casualties from this, and they sure don't deserve the "KARMA" that will result from this war.
What makes this even worse, they were in the middle of negotiations on this, and according to unbiased observers that they were very close to an agreement that was much better than the Obama/Kerry nuclear agreement with Iran, and instead this was a willful action to attack in spite of that. It is no different then what Putin did with Ukraine. There were negotiations going on between Russia and Ukraine while Russia was amassing troops on the Ukraine border, and then decided to invade Ukraine.

foreign war, most voted to keep the US out of foreign wars, how well has that worked out for them so far?
No, they don't deserve to be killed because of an illegal "president" and his criminal cabal, but karma has a way of being a bitch!

(17,961 posts)it seems that every time the Epstein Files are close to naming Trumpedo and his criminal cabal, he does everything to distract from what him and his fellow pedophiles did.

(17,961 posts)I agree with your post, Trumpedo and his toadies were warned what would happen and guess what?
What's happening is exactly what was predicted, so your post is spot on.

(17,961 posts)Those Israeli civilians did not deserve to die. The one's who are responsible for this war-Bibi and Trump know that their lives aren't at risk, they are ok with other people dying. Bibi ofcourse wasn't there..he was reportedly flown out of the country leaving innocent Israeli's to suffer Iran's counter attack.

That sovereign nation was (and is) violating IAEA agreements. The problem is that the Trump admin didn't ask for or recieve permission from congress.

In my it is unwise to apply KARMA collectively.

(19,545 posts)Did they think there would be no reprisals?
That the Iranian government/military would say "It's all good, sorry dude!" and not attack?
It is sad that people died, but that is what happens when madmen decide that violence is the answer to every question.
ETA: Also, those madmen who start things like this are usually not in any danger whatsoever, so it is easy for them to make such decisions. I mean, I doubt that Netanyahu and the orange monster think of the dead as anything more than convenient talking points.
