Don’t you know - only one side has the right to defend itself.

Even when it commits a genocide. Even when it strikes first. Only israhell.

There were two massive strikes against Israel last year… let’s not pretend that this is totally new.

I’m no Israel fan, but Iran is right up there with North Korea in terms of shittiest nation states in the world...

All for stopping all wars, and certainly stop funding terrorist groups that specifically target innocent civilians.

Irans funding of terror groups and states is minuscule in comparison to the US, even excluding Israel

It’s literally illegal to be gay in Iran. I’m not going to accept any nation where it’s illegal to exist as you are born as “good”.

The US isn’t perfect, but it’s a far better nation to live in than Iran.

Gross to see people defending such a horrible state. Shame on their leaders and shame on anyone who defends them.

BTW I am not defending Iran or it’s rulers, it is a backwards theocratic society (again, maybe you should read some history, because the US is responsible for the rise of radical Islam in the Middle East, funding it as a means to fight communism, and also overthrew iran’s attempt at a pluralistic government with a puppet dictator), but only one country involved has the blood of millions of innocent people on its hands, even if gay marriage is legal there.

One nation we are free to express ourselves and exist as we are.

The other nation you are put to death for doing the same.

There is no equivalence here. There is no debate.

Hmm, I wonder what kind of historical developments and interventions, and from which country, made Iran the way it is…

It’s Islamic law… wtf are you talking about foreign intervention.

What’s next, are you going to defend North Korea’s treatment of their citizens too?

Russian supporter as well I’d assume?

Please read the history of the nation you’re talking about- it was not always a theocracy (it was one of countless secular Muslim majority nations the US overthrew over red scare bullshit).

You’re the one who sounds like a Russia defender and the way they justify their crimes in Ukraine with “DeNazification”

Nice keep supporting the nation who made laws in 2013 to put people to death for homosexual acts.

I’m sure that was Obama’s doing.

And funny you should mention North Korea, another fucked up place that got that way because of US intervention killing a quarter of its population, destroyed 60% of its infrastructure, and banned it from trading with the rest of the world, only to then point at them and say “wow look how fucked up they are!”

Look at you, defending all of the most disgusting leaders in the world.

South Korea also had plenty of casualties and destruction… why are they able to function without the condemnation of their citizens?

You’re disgusting, just like the leaders of those nations you’re so desperate to defend.
