It is POV, Laura. The way you as a Jew think about Iran is exactly the same as a Shia muslim in Iran , Iraq or Lebanon thinks about Israel. You cannot even control it; you are imprinted to hate as you do, and they are likewise imprinted.You might remember which country is being internationally investigated for genocide and which leaders face war crimes charges. Israeli politicians and top generals and Iranian mullahs are simply not decent guys. But Israeli aggression is far more usual and destructive than Iranian since Israel is armed to the teeth by America. And with the collateral demonization that goes with the bias, it is easy to ignore reasonability and go to war, especially in the post-Rabin era with Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich running the show, and with Dershowitz, obcessed with distracting the public from tales of little girl rape and interstate child sex trafficking.. The next flashpoint will be Gaza where Israeli Criminal Law is not applied to crimes of settlers against the indigenous population, where they have since October 7, forced Palestinians to leave many villages and isolated homes, raised Israeli flags over them, prevent the palestinians from returning and then plan to expropriate the land in accordance with law which takes the Palestnian owners' rights away with no compensation after 3 years of non-use. You are an American citizen and have been socialized with the ideal of equality for all. Now imagine an Israeli being for equality for each and everyone, especially in the occupied territories.

There is no freer place in the Middle East for Arabs than Israel. There is no other place in the region which respects equal rights for everyone other than Israel. There are virtually no Jews and Christians left in the Middle East outside of Israel while a significant proportion of Israel consists of non-Jews. The Arab countries ethnically cleansed Jews and others. There is ZERO respect for human rights in muslim countries. Jews ARE the indigenous people of Israel, that is an undeniable fact. As usual, you have no clue what you are talking about.

As usual Laura the teenager generally does, she gives no evidence to support her false conclusions. Her second sentence is mere whataboutism, peculiar acclaim for the ethnocentric Jewish state that claims quite falsely to be Western and European in outlook. Universal equal rights do not exist in israel and certainly not in the Occupied Territories where occupation has the same intensity as Gestapo occupation had. Christians have a hard time in parts of Israel, not ony because of denial of building permits and expropriation of their land but particularly because of Jewish terrorists like Ettinger's "The Revolt" which recently burned down a Catholic Church in Galillee. The Government of Israel fails to punish these Jewish terrorists when it declines to indict them, and in the very few cases of conviction releases the convicts because of pressure from the religious parties. The IDF kills Christians which are 10 % of the Gaza population. Even the pope condemned the IDF for attacking two churches during mass last December. Some Jews may be indigenous to Israel, certainly the ones that never left. But most of them converted to islam and are among the many Muslims and Christians being killed by the IDF in Gaza. Unfortumately Laura is an inordianately passionate teenager,meaning that she as shown by the last five deleted messages cannot formulate a rebuttal without defaming, which triggers its deletion. Maybe she can learn how to present her pov in a manner not violating defamation laws as well as Substack's own policy.

AS usual greg starr projects. He gives no evidence to support his own false conclusions which he knows are outright lies.

Well, as a start the FIVE posts from Laura deleted for violating Substack's guidelines are objective reality. One of the five is here in this thread. At least Laura is now learning to express her passions, though still bereft of facts, with socially acceptable language including an absence of F- and N- words.

Clearly you are projecting. You are imprinted to hate Jews. I actually like the Iranian people and hate the islamo-nazi regime which the Iranian people also hate since they’ve suffered more than anyone else under its brutal, evil murderous repression. That is why Iranians by and large support Israel. As usual you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
