[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Iran doesn’t even need to kill 180 American schoolchildren as revenge, Americans will do it themselves.[/quote]

Iran callously slaughtered hundreds of its own kids in the protests a few weeks ago.  That deeply undermines their credibility and moral authority.[/quote]

Exactly.  It just boggles the mind that these posters seem to have no recollection of that.  More likely, they have selective memory.  Utter hypocrites.[/quote]

The ones attacking the US with nothing to say about Iran's many evil acts are willfully dishonest, unserious posters.  We should just flag them as trolls and move on.[/quote]

The US strengthens the hardliners in Iran with these bombings.  They aren't helping the protestors by destroying hospitals and slaughtering children.[/quote]

Slaughtering kids is pretty bad but somehow I doubt the protesters will have all that much sympathy knowing the kids at Minab were the kids of IRGC officers who without a second thought ordered Basij thugs to slaughter the protesters and their kids in the streets, ordered hospitals to refuse them medical care, arrested shot kids arriving at hospitals and then beat them to death, and then held their bodies for ransom.  That all happened.[/quote]

You're justifying the slaughter of children, just FYI. This is an attempt to excuse what we did, and it's wrong. They can be wrong and we can be wrong. Kids are out of bounds. [/quote]

You’re either blindly wrapped in your own arguments or are willfully and deliberately distorting what others are saying. Describing why protesters might lack sympathy for IRGC‑connected families is not at all the same thing as justifying killing children. It’s an explanation of political and emotional context, not a moral endorsement of the strike. There is a clear difference between saying "people affected by years of state brutality may not feel compassion for regime elites" and saying "it was right to kill kids." The former is analysis. The latter is something no one here said.

Pointing out that the IRGC and Basij have committed atrocities against children does not mean anyone is arguing that children are legitimate targets. It means the regime’s own actions have created a climate of rage and trauma that shapes how protesters react. That is not justification. That is cause‑and‑effect. If you want to argue the strike was wrong, that’s a valid moral position. But accusing someone of defending the killing of children when they clearly did not is grossly inaccurate and shuts down any serious discussion.

We've seen you do this repeatedly throughout this thread.  You are not debating in good faith.[/quote]

I love how you throw around Basij like you had ever heard that word in your entire life before two weeks ago, though.

The regurgitation of propaganda is just on another level right now.[/quote]

Your insulting of other posters' knowledge is on another level.  You make unhinged rants, yet when others respond with well reasoned and fact based analysis you ignore the actual substance and attack with insults.  We've heard of the Basij many times - Iran/Iraq war, where the regime used them for mine clearing and meat waves vs Iraq, decades of violent "moral policing," the brutal crackdown on the 1999 student protests, and again in 2009 for the Green Movement, where we saw videos of Basij gunmen on motorcycles firing at protesters.  Do you think we're stupid?  Uneducated?  Unread?  Seems you're the grossly underinformed one here.  And the fact that the Basij have been the violent and brutal shock troops of this vicious regime for decades makes it all the more imperative that it end now.   [/quote]

Oh, here we go again with the “there’s only one poster critical of xyz” nonsense.

Are you the same person in every thread who insists that there’s just one critic of U.S.. foreign policy posting over and over again?[/quote]

Are you the same person in every thread who keeps insisting that the US intentionally targeted the school with a "double tap" in order to deliberately murder children over and over again?[/quote]

No, I’ve not once used the term “double tap” in this or any other thread.[/quote]
