Iran is like Israel. The hardliner religious fanatics will never give up power.

Listen you vile antisemite:

Israel is NOTHING like Iran.

I would agree, but only because the repression they engage in is of an entirely different kind.

Precisely, Israel's repression of Palestinians both in Gaza and in the West Bank is infinitely worse than anything Iran has done to its people.

lets talk next week

Iran is currently murdering thousands to suppress the protesters. but dont worry we can rely on Al Jazeera to report.

Come back when Iran has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people within its borders. Thanks.

Absolutely correct. Israel much worse and far more evil. Last time I checked, Israel is the one committing genocide and not Iran. Israel is the one that has directly killed Americans not Iran.

You are a sick puppy

I remain hopeful for the people of Iran but the apathy of so many supposedly freedom loving Americans, particularly left leaning, is jolting.

Well, that was a word salad. The NYT has been covering it daily. I've read at least two articles.

Bc they can’t hate on Jews or Israel - silence.

Ugh - don’t you ever tire of playing this victim card, this “everyone hates Jews!” mass conspiracy nonsense?

No more than tiring of the "Israel is the root of all evil" card the pro-Palestinian here keeps throwing down in every possible thread, no matter how unrelated.

Let's agree that Palestinians represent a failed terror regime bent on genocide against the Jews, and we can find common ground from which to proceed.

No one is stupid enough to fall for your satirical Hasbra. Stop embarrassing yourself and other Zionists.

And there she goes again, right on cue!

If you have nothing cogent pertinent, and even remotely accurate to add to a discussion, it's rude to use other people's threads as vehicles for irrelevant antisemitic ranting. Just continue to start your own vituperative threads instead of hijacking others.

+ a million
The rabid PP is the usual nutter, repeating herself all day, every day. She's an unhinged, ignorant, foaming at the mouth ogre and I pity whoever has to share a home with her.

All of you are the nutters. FFS.
