If you are living in a western country, you are talking out of extreme privilege and zero sense.

Automatically presuming that the weak side is the morally right is such a skewed an naive world view.

I presume no such thing. I never implied morality to the Iranian government.

However, in this case, the US-Israel axis is undoubtedly the agressor, and morally indefensible.

In the Russian invasion against Ukraine, I can hope Ukraine succeedes without ascribing morality to the Ukrainian government.


Even when Iran is funding and arming Hamas, hezbollah, houthis, irqai militias, calls for the destruction of Israel, a trying to build such capability? When is a preemptive strike legitimate?

Are we going to pretend Israel has no genocidaire ambitions against basically every neighboring country? What do you think ideas of "greater Israel" are?

Hell, the US ambassator to Israel basically admitted to it in an recent interview with Tucker Carlson.

Also, lest we forget, the US has a huge laundry list of supporting insurgencies and actively sponsoring coups everywhere. Especially in Latin America.

To be frank, Iran sounds pretty tame in comparison. If your argument is that they are evil, I would counter they are definitely the lesser of two evils.

So.... Go Persia?


“Greater Israel” is such a stupid take, conspiracy from Islamist propaganda. I can count with both my hands the number of people that believe that in Israel.

Let’s perform a thought experiment. Israel is 8 million Jews, half of the country is an unpopulated desert, our largest border is with Jordan which is barely defensible. And you think that we want to conquer Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Iraq? With what army? How can we support such a conquest? How will we defend that border? Sharing a border with Iran? How will 8 million Jews handle the 40 million Muslims that will allegedly be conquered? This makes so little sense that believing it just exposes your radical bias.


> I can count with both my hands the number of people that believe that in Israel.

I hope you are counting the current prime minister with your fingers.

> And you think that we want to conquer Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Iraq?

I think Israel is an extremely aggressive country, yes.

> How will 8 million Jews handle the 40 million Muslims that will allegedly be conquered?

Conquered? No, the 40 million would be murdered if Israel has its way.

Speaking of numbers is very disingenuous when it an bring along the US to this fight.

I said that Israel has genocidaire ambitions towards its neighbors, I never said anything about conquest.

Population numbers would matter only if Israel had ambitions to rule over the people. When your intention is murder the numbers are only a challenge to your goal.
