      I wouldn’t include Nice, but I agree with that.

      Israel came in and started an act of war. If it was flipped, news would be screaming about Iran being a warmonger.

        Because Iran IS a war mongering nation. Just because they are the enemy of the people you’re Xenophobic about doesn’t mean they’re the good guys

          Iran is a war mongering, autocratic, theocratic GOVERNMENT but a peaceful, progressive, secular NATION.

              Could you please acknowledge the distinction I am making? Because it kind of looks like you just picked out some words and flipped your wig without really attempting to comprehend what you were reading. Breathe, dude. We’re gonna get through this.

          Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.

          What’s xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

          Nothing xenophobic about it, unless Ehud Olmert is xenophobic.

          “What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: the indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians. We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, viciously, maliciously, recklessly. Yes, we are committing war crimes.”

          Can the former prime minister of Israel be xenophobic towards Israel?

      From the gay people they execute and the female protesters that they disappear?

      Additionally did I have a right to defend or retaliate after you guys wrecked my country and treated my people like scum? Cause if so, death to America.

        From the genocidal Zionists which killed more gay people in one year than Iran since its inception.

        Go simp for Zionists on Reddit.

          It’s wild, im indigenous and have never had so much hate and racism thrown at me by white leftists who are perching to my brown ass about genocide and colonialism, as I have these pat two years. The rest of us around the world are shaking our head at you guys, your right wingers have been toxic for a long time, but the African left decided to follow suit this year. Non American leftists think you guys are all extremists now

        Yes

        Cause if so, death to America.

        That was always an option, yes.

            I mean I don’t remember Canada fucking up Mexico in the past but sure? Its not all good even if justified, I would say the native people have a legit reason to beef with my nation for example. But I don’t think I did anything myself to invite a response.

          You, sir, are a liar, who is spreading hatefull BS! Israel does not target civilians. The official statements by Israel officials suggest civilians evacuate to safety from the vicinity of military sites in Iran.

          Also, quite a telling detail: What do the Iranian officials do? Are they actively trying to secure internet communications - or rather disrupt internet services? 💁

            You so mad that iranian disturb israel internet yet most of gaza had no internet and are starving because israel do not enter enough food and even shoot at people seeking food.

            The geneva convention prohibit hitting nuclear sites due to all the harm it cause on people and environment

              Not really. I’ve just checked your claims, and presented evidence disproving your BS.

              You are a liar AND delusional, as you’re still trying to disseminate same old hateful racist claims, even when you’ve just been caught as a liar.  I have to BL you too: you’re way too big of a flaming voluble liar. 💁

      Iran also should have the right to chose their own leaders. But they don’t. Which is too bad. If they weren’t stuck with a Supreme Dictator making their decisions then they wouldn’t even need to be defending themselves right now.
