        what about x?

        You’re right, Iran is a religious ethno state and you’re smart enough to recognize that as a bad thing, but when it comes to literal Jewish ISIS (Israel), you have to make an exception.

        Don’t bring up other countries I didn’t defend, I’m simply asking you to make a case for Israel to be built as a Jewish supremacist state on land already lived on by a majority non Jewish native population, forcing the ethnostate to genocide them just to exist.

        Make a case for Israel that isn’t “Europeans felt guilty for the Holocaust so they declared Jews are allowed to Holocaust anyone and gave them Palestine”

          Why would I? I don’t support the Israeli government at all and it’s no question they’re guilty of a genocide.

            Stop engaging in stupid whataboutism then. Getting a few Internet points isn’t worth diverting the conversation from the genocidal entity. You’re the one that brought up Iran, friendo.

                As the victim. Iran is the topic as the victim of an unprovoked attack by a Jewish supremacist rogue state actively committing genocide.

                And your contribution was to highlight “the victim does this other unrelated thing”.

                I’ve spelled it out to you, and I didn’t need to insult your mental capacity to do it.

                You’re engaging in manufacturing consent for the unprovoked attack by bringing up an unrelated grievance with the victim, as if it justified or makes it more acceptable.

        Yeah & as always US is involved in it. Mind you I didn’t deny what Iran was doing, but just like Oct.7th, Iran’s current state didn’t happen in a vaccuum
