Israel's Iron Dome hadn't even shot down its first missile before the left was smugly demanding Israel show, 'restraint,' in responding to the sudden and aggressive attack from Iran last night.
As liberals fretted over what Israel might do in retaliation, Bethany Mandel provided some needed context.
185 drones

110 surface-to-surface missiles
36 cruise missiles
And it’s *Israel* being asked to exercise restraint. Wild, just wild watching all of this play out in real time.
It doesn't get much more direct than this. It seems no matter what genocidal antisemitic powers do to Israel, the Jewish state is always expected to stay calm and polite.
No other country would be expected to stand by and do nothing while being relentlessly assaulted with rockets. No one would tolerate such aggression and violence.
But Israel is expected to not only tolerate it, but take no action whatsoever in self-defense.
Where are all the ceasefire now people?

Is it surprising, though? This is how it always goes. Same script, over and over from the "international community."

Israel should ignore them. https://t.co/fCvGuhUwxB
The politics of "No one was severely injured" is such a tone deaf response.

This will continue to escalate, there is no evidence that anything in the last three years has deescalated any situation in foreign policy.#Trump2024 or #KennedyShanahan24 are the only choices. https://t.co/YDJb6Ojds1
See, in the minds of the left, Israel is by default the aggressor and everyone else is simply 'resisting,' so really, it's Israel's fault.
Fascinating: has she just not noticed Israel has spent 6 months destroying every aspect of civilian life in Gaza? Was she asleep when Israel took out Iran's consulate in Damascus? Did she not hear Iran offered to let the issue go in exchange for ceasefire? Or is she just a liar? https://t.co/0S22UouNXj

Nobody trusts Israel to show restraint, hence why Biden had to put his foot down with Bibi.

The horrifying part is that it was a U.S.-Iran backchannel that prevented further escalation. Not Israel.
Raisi, in a historic twist, is the adult in the room. Bibi the toddler. https://t.co/dKXgCBpJ6p
Yeah, when a genocidal power that has been calling for the eradication of the Jews and Israel for years launches hundreds of missiles at you, the best plan is to just wait and see what happens. Don't want to overreact.
Bomb them into the Stone Age Israel. https://t.co/f4MnwjbS8I

They demand a ceasefire so Hamas can regroup to better attack Israeli civilians. Democrats voted to shut down funding for the Iron Dome that saved thousands of lives during the attack, AOC even cried when their efforts failed. Now they once again want Israel to 'show restraint,' when directly attacked by yet another antisemitic power in the regime trying to wipe them off the map.
Will any level of aggression be good enough for the left to finally stand up to these violent lunatics?
