      I wouldn’t include Nice, but I agree with that.

      Israel came in and started an act of war. If it was flipped, news would be screaming about Iran being a warmonger.

        Because Iran IS a war mongering nation. Just because they are the enemy of the people you’re Xenophobic about doesn’t mean they’re the good guys

          Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.

            The sponsor of hezbola, hamas and houtis, that floods the middle east with weapons since the 70s never started a war? That Iran?

          Nothing xenophobic about it, unless Ehud Olmert is xenophobic.

          “What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: the indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians. We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, viciously, maliciously, recklessly. Yes, we are committing war crimes.”

          Can the former prime minister of Israel be xenophobic towards Israel?

          What’s xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

      From the gay people they execute and the female protesters that they disappear?

      Additionally did I have a right to defend or retaliate after you guys wrecked my country and treated my people like scum? Cause if so, death to America.

        From the genocidal Zionists which killed more gay people in one year than Iran since its inception.

        Go simp for Zionists on Reddit.

          It’s wild, im indigenous and have never had so much hate and racism thrown at me by white leftists who are perching to my brown ass about genocide and colonialism, as I have these pat two years. The rest of us around the world are shaking our head at you guys, your right wingers have been toxic for a long time, but the African left decided to follow suit this year. Non American leftists think you guys are all extremists now

            In what ways? What are some specific views that you have that are in opposition to the American leftists? And who is “we”? At least narrowing it down to a specific nationality would be really helpful for context for understanding what perspective you are speaking from.

        Yes

        Cause if so, death to America.

        That was always an option, yes.

            I mean I don’t remember Canada fucking up Mexico in the past but sure? Its not all good even if justified, I would say the native people have a legit reason to beef with my nation for example. But I don’t think I did anything myself to invite a response.

      Iran also should have the right to chose their own leaders. But they don’t. Which is too bad. If they weren’t stuck with a Supreme Dictator making their decisions then they wouldn’t even need to be defending themselves right now.
