Sometimes I wish Iran would pull out all the stops and just attack Israel in the same way Israel attacks them, Lebanon and Gaza, but then I stop myself and say regardless how monstrous zionists are, that is cruel and unacceptable regardless and I'm glad Iran has the restraint to fight professionally. Israelis on the other hand absolutely want to be as monstrous as possible and celebrate their government engaging in absolute butchery; heck, they get upset if they perceive any restraint on their government's part.

If the news had any integrity they would report on Iran's professional conduct and would make that comparison.

it's fucked that israel will institutionalize and officiate terrorism and the use of human shields, through things like the Dahiya doctrine, Neighbor procedure, Mosquito protocol, etc. and get off scot free.

UN reports have found that sex and gender-based violence commited by the IOF is so rampant that it can only be explained as standard operating procedure

I still recall when (an organization? A UN program?) that studied child SV in Israel lodged some complaints about their findings, their offices were stormed and their computers seized.

What's more is that Israel has a very serious SA and SV problem and this is when the victims are Israelis themselves; they don't even view Palestinians as humans, and you know that means it's infinitely worse against them. Heck, just look at that riot that occurred when an IDF soldier was going to be prosecuted for the SV he was filmed engaging in, a riot that was in defense of the soldier (who became a bit of a folk hero now).

In the words of Omar Mukhtar, the Libyan resistance leader who fought the Italian fascists in his country: "They are not our teachers."

The imperialists have a strategy of wreaking destruction across a whole region, even if they fail to achieve their military objectives, because stalling development through bloodshed worsens the dependency relationship. Nobody should fight wars like that!

Frankly, my Iranian friend thinks that Iran's leaders are too chicken-shit and infiltrated, though he lives in the U.S.
