Really scary how the left has been brainwashed into seeing Israel/Palestine as a conflict between "white colonizers" and "brown people".
The US Census considers all of the Middle East to be "white", and Israelis have just as long a residence and claim to the region as Palestinians do.
Many don't agree with the official Census categorization, and that's fine. I'm just pointing out that....if one of the two groups is "brown", then both are.
The rhetoric is blatantly racist and hate speech, but is allowed and endorsed by Western institutions.

Not cheering them on, however as Israel would say "they have a right to defend themselves". I just hope Iran's interpretation of that statement isn't the same as Israel's, cause I'm not down to see 33k dead Israelis.

Fucking disgusting post.
Also, Palestinians are Iranians now?

This is a shockingly myopic view of the proxy war that's been orchestrated by Iran for the last two decades.

In a broad sense, there are two types of nations in the Middle East. Stable nations with functional economies who collaborate with the international community. This is your Saudi Arabias, Israels, Iraqs, Qatars, Omans, ect.

Then there are you broken states run by fundamentalist military juntas or terrorist organizations. They have nearly non-existant economies and their only significant interactions with the international communities is exporting raw resources and taking international aid. This is your Yemens, Syrias, Jordans, ect.

Essentially every stable country hates Iran, and every broken country works with Iran. This is because Iran has been funnelling tons of weapons, ammo, and military advisors into the hands of the absolute worst actors in basically every cobflict zone in the Middle East, including Hezbollah and Hamas, which is directly relevant to Israel. Iran is an enemy to stability and peace in the region. There is simply no other way to put it.

Iran has essentially been firing rockets into Israel for literal decades now. Think of all the Israeli deaths that Iran is directly responsible for over the years. If there was no Iran, there would be no massive Hamas terrorist attack. They would not have had the weapons and training necessary to embolden them so, and the likely explicit backing of Iran behind the scenes. While I fundamentally disagree with Israel's approach to Palestine, it is utterly absurd and hypocritical to look at this situation and say "Well, Israel should have just not provoked Iran!"

Great post, though Jordan belongs in the former group.

Man, I just don't understand why Biden won't capitulate to their demands and beg for their votes! /s

The ideal scenario would be for both sides to wipe each other out. There is no room for religious fanatic nations. It's also the only scenario that secures long term peace in the region, let it escalate amongst themselves.

What the fuck?!
