It's more like Trump's lies about Iran being fed to Axios are Lucy and the stock market is Charlie Brown.

    TBH Netanyahu doing it would be more accurate. Pretty sure the Iranians don't like being bombed, even the depraved IRGC, but they won't agree to a peace deal with the USA while Israel continues to wage war on them.

    Fun Fact: The Iranian demands include a cecation of hostilities against Palestine and Lebanon.

    The six conditions include ... a permanent end to attacks against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq...

    This is because the reality in the region is that the US is assisting Israel in a war of territorial expansion that involves all of those countries. Iran knows that it's not enough to merely convince the west to stop attacking just them, because they know that this alone does not cease Israel's lebenstraum. If Palestine and Lebanon fall then Syria and Iraq are next, and that means doom for Iran.

    Not very realistic with China and Russia being the military backers of Iran.

    Iran falling to Israeli expansion. Iran and Israel are basically equals in both armaments and atrocities.

    You are calling Israel's genocide equivalent to Iran's human rights violations?

    Iran helped Israel start the Genocide, sending Russian and Chinese guns, bombs, and money, with Netanyahu's help, to Hamas leading up to the October Music Festival attack at the start of the war.

    Iran also killed tens of thousands of its own civillians directly before the US attacked, for protesting in the streets. Many more indirectly due to the famine.

    Iran is to China what Israel is to the USA.

    Given their inaction before (and their involvement in starting it) it's probably not a hard requirement but something they thought they'd toss in there to look good.

    Ngl, using their political leverage to try to end two instances of genocide does look pretty good, even if it is just for self-preservation.

    This is semantics, but what's happening in Lebanon certainly includes War Crimes but it's not comparable to what Genocide means. Let's not water down crimes like this. If the Hezbollah are "trapped" between the rest of Lebanon and Israel then that's the result of their own actions, no pity from me.

    That's great pal, but the eradication of an entire culture kind of requires them to be eradicated rather than forced to move a few miles north and live in the same state they did before. Ukraine isn't a genocide, for example.

    The genocidal intent and tactics are clear

    Waiting until a genocide is complete before calling it such goes against the entire reason the definition exists in the first place

    You watering down Israel's crimes almost plays more as apologia, tbh.

    Is that a joke?

    How does a Zeteo article showing exactly which genocidal tactics Israel has been using is Gaza for years are now also being used in Lebanon considered "downplaying Israel's crimes" in anyway. If anything, you are the one downplaying Israel's crimes in Lebanon.

    The people of Gaza are the victims of Israel, like with Lebanon, but the people of Gaza are also the victims of the IRGC and Hezbollah and it's completely shameless to pretend Israel's atrocity in Gaza is just a normal offensive. The Palestinians have nowhere to go and no allies, not even the smallest chance of defending themselves, not even access to food and water, so it's very clearly not the same.

    yeah no, that's a bunch of Zionist bullshit

    the IRGC and Hezbollah are not the ones committing genocide, nor are they the ones assisting Israel in any way, just the opposite. Shifting the blame to them is false and only serves Israeli hasbara.

    In Israel's own words, both the Gaza offensive and Lebanon offensive are both genocidal

    Fair enough. I am not sure how far Israel will go with expansion into Lebanon and I don't know the measure of displacement and death that would constitute it as an attempted genocide, so I can't really argue against that.

    One of the ceasefire talks ended because Israel kept sending missiles in the middle of it.

    Unless US completely accepts all the terms, Yahu can just go "nah" and keep US in war. Even once the president changes.

    Only other option is we stop funding Israel their missiles, but obviously that's antisemitic. /s
