I have no love for Iran but once again it's the hypocrisy that I hate. Iran and Israel are held to entirely different standards.

Literally, what makes Israel better than Iran and even Russia when it comes to causing death, destruction, and misery?

Iran and Russia have never done anything like what Israel is doing, this ridiculous comparison mainly exists in the minds of Western commentators who earn their keep by agreeing with Washington. Not to mention they are nations with thousands of years of history and will not be going anywhere when Uncle Sam's money dries up.

This entire project you picked up of comparing Israel to Russia has done nothing to help Ukrainians or Palestinians. It has simply muddied the waters further. No, Israel was not "provoked", Palestine was provoked. And yes, Russia and Iran were provoked by the same US alliance.

What about India, where Hindutva has been ethnically cleansing Muslims this entire time? No it's just parroting the rogues gallery of Washington. There is no detail, only your useless addition to the WAPO oped comments section.

Is it? Could you show me how Russian imperialist settler-colonialism factors into Russia's invasion, or Russian leaders flaunting their targeting of Ukrainian civilians, or how Ukrainian armament against Russia, and so too the inner shift against Russia, is not a product of Western imperialist direction but an inner revolt against some brutal oppression that for some reason leads them into Nazism?

Don't lump Iran with this tankie BS please. Not honest, not helpful.

What are you talking about? Are you stupid?

Iran and Israel are held to entirely different standards.

By body count, there's no comparison.

I will, however, add an obligatory Fuck the Mullahs-- the Iranian people deserve much better than that.
