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
As I tried to explain, I didn’t take umbrage at that. Again I am not disputing Israel’s or America’s brutality whatsoever. Nowhere am I saying I want America and Israel to win. In fact, I don’t. Fuck them. I want the Iranians to come out on top. I agree that they’re the lesser evil.
What I took issue with is your false equivalence of comparing decades worth of brutality of the American and Israeli regimes with 1 specific Iranian incident. You don’t need that kind of dishonesty to say that Americans and Israelis are worse.
Well, it would probably have been fairer to point out the peak of the brutality of the Iranian Government which seems to have been their recent violent suppression of demonstrations, but it’s unclear how many people actually got killed in it because the information we have about it here in the West is certainly tainted with propaganda (mainly American) so any number I quoted would almost certainly be wrong and an exageration and I didn’t really want to respond to what looked like a Hasbara post by quoting American or Israeli propaganda figures about Iran.
That said, even the largest number I saw of persons killed by the Iranian Authorities in their recent violent crackdown - 35,000 - is less than the number of people officially confirmed by Palestinian Authorities of those killed by Israel alone, in Gaza alone in just the first 3 months of their latest Genocide: even what is almost certainly the wildest exaggeration from their enemies about the how murderous the Iranian Government is pale in comparison with how murderous the US and Israel are.
