No, 2 years. To go with the "en mass" part in particular.
How long has Iran been killing gays?
I'm guessing it really picked up after the 1979 islamic revolution, so 46 years.
The state of Israel was recognised by the US in 1948, so 77 years ago.
How does this plays out in your head now? Please explain, but I'm really curious how one thing related to the other.
I would have guessed they have been killing gays for millennia. I like to flip the religious nutcase rhetoric on its head and say this is what happens to evil people, they brought it on themselves. It’s what they say when a western country gets attacked or has a natural disaster, they say things like this is god punishing them for accepting gay people. I say this is what they get for killing gays, they are pure evil. Also Israel get what they deserve for their oppression and genocide. Lesson to everyone is stop being evil.
Israel has killed more gays in the last year than Iran has in its existence
Really? Source for that, seems very hard to believe
Last year, Lancet estimated the dead in Gaza at about a quarter of a million. A year has passed since then, and the killing has only increased, so it's plausibly at at least twice that now. Approximately 5 percent of people are gay, and Israel makes no destination in killing them, so that's about 25,000 murdered gays.
Exact numbers for Iran are hard to find, but its of the order of magnitude of less then 1 a year, plus 20 in the immediate aftermath of the revolution.
So it's a two digit number vs a five digit one.
