Thailand is looking to export food and raw materials to Iran and other Middle East countries in exchange for its ships being allowed to safely bring back cargoes of plastic pellets and fertiliser from the conflict region, according to the commerce minister.

    He didn’t even accuse you of being a zionist, at least not directly. There’s also the possibility that you’re just stupid.

      He started insulting and you’re just doubling down. And how can anyone argue that Iranian funded fundamentalist groups are freedom fighters? So there’s nothing wrong in defending people committing atrocities as long as they’re not Israelis? The people in the middle east are as much hostages from those groups as they are from the IDF.

        They’re freedom fighters because they’re objectively freedom fighters. I don’t see any need to purity test the people standing up to Israel and the US. Tot during wartime at least, I can criticize them once they’ve won.

              So the right side is occupying southern Lebanon, install military bases there with Iranian money, launch attacks to another country and then running away to hide in Beirut just so Israel can bomb the hell out of it. What’s the fault of the Lebanese? Why are they on the wrong side?
              And the Houthis?? How are they the right side for attacking… (checks notes) Yemen and Saudi Arabia!? Where those countries on the IDF side too? It’s all Iranian politics, the same for decades.
              Hamas will kill anyone in Gaza who doesn’t pay them “protection” money for their mafia racket. Are Palestinans in the wrong side too?

                “Occupying” southern Lebanon? They’re supported by the inhabitants of southern Lebanon, you dolt. They’re the de-facto Lebanese army. Likewise with the Houthis - they are Yemen. They represent the popular will, and they control the territory on which the majority of Yemenis live. Christ, you’re stupid.

                    They received money from a friendly government, therefore their demonstrable popular legitimacy is actually fake? Tell that to Vietnam you mouth breathing imbecile.
