Reactions as Iran fires missiles toward Israel

@ganjaape420

Of course they did. They have the right to defend themselves.

@FreddieOos2285

America SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVED IN THIS WAR.

@NadeemLLD

Israel is not safe anymore.

@eyup_io

That’s not the way to sort your problems—hope everyone stays safe and cools it before it’s all gone pear-shaped.

@rotundainsights

Each missile fired pushes peace further away.

@IdanTendler

Now imagine they put a nuclear bomb on one of them.

No thank you.

We had our holocaust already. no more.

@NoniGonzales

If you really think about it, war is not decided by the majority of the people but by the leaders. I think that before going to war, the people should be asked because they are the ones who will do the fighting, not the leaders.

@memigh

The only way for peace is to eradicate Iran's terrorist regime.

@POTUS and @IDF need to get together and remove Iran from the map: plain and simple. Their whole history has been terrorism: plain and simple.

@GwenHardy891

Yes, yes…

Just a nuke over Jerusalem will slow down Israel hate against the World!

@brentshelby187

Why is the United States not sharing their teleportation technology with Israel? It's evil to hide this tech, they could be stopping every missile that is launched. We all know why they won't use it, because the moment it's used the world will find out nuclear weapons are useless
