    And apparently the other three genocidal terrorist regimes are better than them?

      considering that all three of these regimes are not committing genocide at the moment, Iran not even interested in said genocide and the other two only existing because they are a resistance movement against Israel. yes, I think you can make a very compelling case that said one genocidal terrorist regime is worse than the others.

      Hezbollah was relatively quiet before the war kicked off, Hamas was supported by the Israeli state under Netanyahu to act as a spoiler towards the PAs attempt at a diplomatic 2-state solution, and Israel has been in power for the past 70 years. Hamas and Hezbollah literally only exist because Israel is an expansionist apartheid state.

        If Iran isn’t interested in the genocide, why do they fund and arm Hamas and Hezbollah? And Israel supported Hamas as an opposition to the PLO, which was a major terrorist organization at the time. Do you think they intentionally created Hamas as an excuse to get their own people bombed?

          Israel supported Hamas as an opposition to the PLO the PLO didn’t fucking exist anymore when Hamas being supported by the Israeli government, Hamas started out as a humanitarian aid group affiliated with the Muslim brotherhood and radicalized before the second intifada, they were supported to undermine the PA who had been created as part of the Oslo Accords (that Israel then ignored), the most prominent example f this being when the IDF conducted air strikes against Fatah (the actual PA government) during the Hamas - Fatah civil war.

          Yes the Israeli government helped create Hamas to undermine any attempt at negotiation towards a two-state solution, and a few dead Jews are no biggie, in fact they died as martyrs to justify genocide, you know eggs and omelets, this isn’t out of the ordinary behavior for genocidal regimes.

            First off, you haven’t answered my question about why Iran is funding Hamas and Hezbollah if they don’t want genocide. Second, the PLO still exists. Supporting Hamas was a massive failure, but they didn’t do it to kill their own people.

              the same reason why the US funded Alquaeda.

              secondly, that “PLO” is inconsequential and doesn’t have any actual connection to the original PLO.

              and lastly, you assume that extremists like the current Israeli government care about people’s lives, and i very clearly stated that Israel supported Hamas to delegitimize the PA and avoid a two-state solution, and you don’t have to take my word for it, the fucking Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this.

                I can’t find a credible source confirming that. And even if they did, that wouldn’t make Iran’s funding of Hamas and Hezbollah any less genocidal. Fair point on the origins of Hamas, though.

                  You can’t find a credible source confirming the existence of operation cyclone? I’m sorry, but I think you REALLY need to learn a bit more about the Middle East before you start making statements like you have been here. if it’s news to you that America is the main reason why Al Quaeda, the Taliban and to an extent modern Iran exist as they do.
