Always hit back 100 times harder than How you were hit. They killed one 7 year old girl. So 100 Iranians must die.

According to that math all jews are already slated to die for their crimes, ergo there is nothing to retaliate for.

Seems to me Iran proved that no one can take them seriously if their idea of a response was to send those random pathetic missiles that they must have known Israel could shoot down. Iran knows Israel have wanted to attack at a larger scale for decades, and were stopped during the Obama admin (2012-15) with a nuclear treaty, which was cancelled turing Trump's admin (2017-18) so that Israel could attack at will. Now Iran responds in this pathetic way, knowing what's likely to happen - more attacks from Israel, which continue years of smaller attacks against Iran. Whatever Israel does, the US will unfortunately be considered part of it, naturally. Non-government Iranians - the 99% - don't want this, though they would suffer the most.

One person commenting on BBC News from Israel said that previously "Jews" did not have the military capablity to "defend themselves" [by attacking Iran], but now they do, and they should attack [more than they normaly do]. So the Israel right wing see this as something for all Jews, something Israel needs to do. /u/Smalls provides in the chat/subscribed this list of the previous attacks.

Now Iran responds in this pathetic way...

I'm thinking this was done on purpose. In fact we knew this was coming in retaliation for IDF killing some of Iran's generals who were in Syria. There were news articles waring about this on Friday. (The day before this attack)

To me, the way Iran's leaders think, is they had to make some response to save face with their supporters/population and they knew this would be a nothing burger that would cause little to no damage. They don't want a direct conflict because they know they will get their asses kicked. They even implied this at the UN saying something along the lines that "They now see this situation as concluded." meaning they don't wat this to escalate.

Anyway the fact that they were not able to shoot down 100% of the attack is a problem for Israel. If Iran starts shooting everything they got at them then more will get though and it will cause major damage. Iran's weapons have targets and are not dumb fired rockets. If they get though it's major problems for Israel.

Edit: What Israel did to provoke Iran. "April 1 Israeli airstrike on its embassy compound in Syria that killed a top Iranian general and others."

Agreed

If it's really 99%, the US should just drop massive amounts of weapons over Iran from space such that a civil war breaks out and new leadership will appear.

Friends, your future may not be as secure as you think. Where will you be when the atomic bombs fall?
