Something Changed in Israel on Oct. 7 though...

 They have no problem, the Israeli people, supporting the killings of thousands of civilians now.  They see it as necessary these war crimes to protect their own people and preserve their illigitimate land holdings.  The country is being led by the right-wing religious extremists now, just as America was in the grip of that same crowd after the September 11 attacks.

Evangelical Christian power is dwindling in America of late though, as our country becomes more pluralistic demographically and fewer and fewer Americans see the wisdomm of running guns to the world for "protection" because we have seen on our own streets, in our schools and places of worship the might destruction weapons in the wrong hands can do to innocents.

American Christians -- the real ones -- don't approve of killing innocents in our name or that of our alleged ally either.  Israel has to find a way to nonviolently exist in the 21st century without relying on guns or technology to commit crimes in other countries, thinking they "got away with it" again.  How's that working out for the hostages still in captivity, say?  Anybody still care about their innocent lives, or are they simply collatoral damage too in their efforts to grow Israel's borders? 

Iranian officials told state media that a pair of bombs were placed in bags along the road toward the cemetery in the city of Kerman. The bags exploded as a huge procession of people was on its way there to commemorate the four-year anniversary of the assassination by the United States of General Suleimani, the architect of the axis of regional militias and powers that oppose Israel and the United States.  The officials said the bags appeared to have been detonated via remote control, leaving bodies in pieces on the ground...

Given the sheer scale of the blasts, which state media described as a terrorist attack, the death toll was likely to rise. Videos and photos of the explosions’ aftermath on state media showed widespread carnage and chaos, with sirens blaring and the injured — among them children — collapsing to the ground. Bloodied, several of the wounded screamed, “God help us. Everyone is killed.” 

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a statement blaming the attack on Iran’s “malicious and criminal enemies,” but stopped short of naming any group or country. Mr. Khamenei vowed that Iran’s enemies should know that “this tragedy will have a strong response.” ...

Despite the accusations by Mr. Raisi, analysts said the attack bore the hallmarks of terrorism. The attack did not fit Israel’s usual methods when striking Iran, said Ali Vaez, the Iran project director at Crisis Group. Israel, he said, has not previously attacked ordinary civilians in Iran, tending instead to target individuals such as nuclear scientists and senior security officials, or facilities such as nuclear sites in precision strikes.
