Please note that I’m not trying to defend Israel or the US at all, I’m not trying to disprove or deny their imperialistic and genocidal actions.
But don’t try to reduce Iran’s brutalities in order to make that point. It cheapens the discussion and makes it easier to ignore your actual point. That’s what you did in the comment I responded to.
The people coming here slandering as “Iran apologists” those who would rather that the nation which is both the least evil and the victim of this war won rather than the vastly most evil aggressor nations, and do so even using the very typical Manufacturing Consent technique of calling the Iranian Government a “Regime” whilst not doing the same for the governments of the more aggressor nations, are the ones doing all the “brutality reducing” - they’re literally misrepresenting a position which is against the by far most murderous of sides in this war as being instead a position of support for the government structure of the other side.
Doing so in the context of the news of a court decision in Iran which, whilst ridiculous, will not result in anybody getting killed, is just taking the piss, especially if you compare it with the workings of the judicial system in one of the opposing countries in this war, the US, were every day the police just in average kills 3 - 4 people.
That post stinks of Hasbara propaganda. It stinks of the kind of specious “argument” that warmongering Nationalists make against those who do not support the actions of their nation. (Curiously, if you look at the evolution of up-votes and down-votes to it, it “curiously” got a lot of upvotes upfront right around daytime in Tel-Aviv and is getting more downvotes since)
I replied to that and then you came and took umbrage at me pointing out how from all sides of that war, the most outrageously murderous is the one of the American and Israeli Regimes (which explains why people side with Iran in this War)
