    Those people are showing up because they are afraid of their own government. I know I’m right. A mom does not show up with her kids as a human shield willingly.

    If the iranian regime gave a single fuck about their people they would urge women and children to seek shelter.

      “I know I’m right” isn’t the compelling argument you might feel it is. Wouldn’t you be a vocal supporter of your community in similar circumstances?

        You mean if Canada was about to be bombed by Trump, would I be a vocal supporter of Carney asking women and young people to form a human shield on the patullo bridge for example?

          No need to be a fervent supporter of the current administration to be a supporter of your community, and showing affront to the TACO.

            I mean it’s easy to say this now that he’s chickened out. All those people could have died for zero reason.

              Israel did cancel the concert that was supposed to happen on Oct 7th, and placed it elsewhere, someplace where the Hannibal Directive could be carried out without pushback. So I can understand your thinking behind it, but it’s not how they function. For better or worse, they are a death cult, and Americans and Israelis are a killing cult, and the death cult seems to be winning morally.
