    I find it hilarious that all these countries call themselves "democracies" yet criminals have a loophole where they can just stay in power indefinitely as long as they continue committing more crimes.

    Its crazy how much stronger Israel's position would be if they got rid of this old, incompetent babbling idiot. Like no one ever would look at this and say "yeah Iran should have nukes" but somehow here we are. Israel's incapability to effectively govern itself just shows that most of their problems are of their own making.

    Most of Israel's senior politicians are just as bad.

    And Iran should definitely have nukes; it's the only way to protect it from the endless aggression of the the US and Israel (both of which have nukes)

    The knesset was about to be toppled the night before. He literally did this to stave off government collapse.

    That is not a conclusion that can be reached from: Israel government almost devolves but is saved by a vote to bomb a foreign nation explicitly to piss off Trump and detail his negotiations with Iran?

    Israeli society is sick and genocidal, "Bibi" (why are you using the fascist's favorite pet name btw? Leave they for the fascists) is not the sole problem.

    Israel's actions in the past couple years have all seemed like sorta a desperate attempt to leverage the US Hegemony that's protected them, before the US buckles.

    Sorta like imagine a kid in Grade 1 who's a total racist bully to his classmates. But the kid has an older brother in grade 6 who has no issue beating the shit outta any Grade 1 kid who fights back. When the older brother nears the transition to middle school -- at which point the younger will lose his protection -- the younger brother starts instigating like crazy, to try and establish dominance while still protected.

    They’re a puppet military for the US. Attacking the nuclear sites is strategically in response to the rising nuclear enrichment and failure to form an agreement.

    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"

    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.

    Iran has recently been reported as failing to meet its nuclear non-proliferation obligations and this is undoubtedly the reason Israel describes these strikes as pre-emptive.

    dude you really need to do research how evil Iran is. You're so blissfully unaware. They are literally training Hamas and Hezbollah and Houthi's — all recorded by independent journalists. Not to mention all of the attrocities like raping little iranian girls to "discipline them" before brutally murdering them just last year!

    If you're trying to defend Iranian attrocities you really need to reflect on your mental state my dude. There are very few organizations that are objectively evil and Iranian leadership is definitely one of them.

    I'm not misdirecting anything and my anger is very valid as I grew up in Islam, saw all of it's evils and managed to escape it. You are free to check my post history. But sure you can invalidate my experience and opinion just because it doesn't fit your sheltered world model. Have a good day and stop bothering me.

    Thanks but all credit goes to my mom who realized early on that living under such oppression is not something a self respecting human being should tolerate. Women are often unsung heroes in Islam escape success stories!

    Also to add to your point it feels like we are regressing to the point of reaching the paradox of tolerance. People used to be interested in islam escape stories and cheer on the survivors but now often they are being shamed for "not understanding islam" smh

    Trolls conveniently ignore the fact that Hamas is literally a terrorist organization and started the conflict by literally murdering concert goers but sure.

    Honest good faith question to try to understand your mentality before you get banned again: how do you justify Hamas invading, kidnapping and murdering concert goers?

    Do you believe it didn't happen or some terrorism is ok?

    They've had that government for a long time and were content to sign the JCPOA. You don't have to like the Iranian government at all to recognise that it was not the party to break that deal

    Also, Pakistan is a Muslim country which has had nukes for decades without using them on anyone. Being Muslim does not make you want to nuke the rest of the world

    To quote from the modlog:

    Or because it's a theocracy based on religion that literally says "God is telling us to kill everyone else".

    Making claims about what religion says means you're either talking about the religion the country and missed an "a" before the word "religion", or you're talking about every religion. I think it's probably the former, but either way Islam falls under it

    People are not able to chose between black and white anymore. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is what they chose. If Israel is bad, Iran must be good. Poor, poor Iran, just wanted to play a bit with nuclear bombs. The decade long calls of destruction of the Israeli state was just them saying "we want to be left alone"! The only thing that confuses them is Iran being one of the main providers of the Russian war. But soon they will side with Russia to be against "the imperialist west". One side or the other, they don't know any middle ground.

    fwiw, I agree with what you wrote here. My intention was not to imply "Iran good, Israel bad," though judging by the upvotes it seems like I've tapped into that part of lemmy. My reductive quip still describes their motivation though.

    Yeah this is driving me nuts too. In particular how people start viewing Hamas as some sort of freedom fighters just because evil Israel is kicking their ass. It's just shit people all around yet nothing can change cause it's a team game not a truth or justice one.

    Bibi will do anything to keep Israel in a state of emergency. Good for his extreme right buddies but foremost better for himself. As long there is some war going on, their cabinet stays in power and him out of jail for his fraud conviction. Him and his Zionist extremists are cancer for Israel and the region.

    I feel like the narrative that Bibi is just doing this to stay out of jail ignores that the majority of Israeli's approve of what he's doing and would not seek a jail term for him, let alone the fact that the rest of the Israeli government would not prosecute. I'd be glad to be wrong, but it feels like blaming one bad apple just lets Zionism as a whole off the hook.
