Outside of Iran, who are you expecting to corroborate and how?

I doubt Israel/the US are going to come out and admit it.

Also allegedly it's up to 3 shot down with 2 pilots taken prisoner. I doubt they would lie about taking the pilots if they didn't even shoot them down.

I'm not denying Churchills crimes or painting him as good.

How many would Hitler have murdered if he had similar control over the region? Just look at General plan Ost...

There's a reason the USSR tried to ally with Churchill against Hitler before hostilities even started.

Israel didn't become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It's has been since its founding.

You're suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn't matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.

Israelis aren't walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.

Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.

There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews in total.

"Zionists are mostly Jews" is an objectively false statement.

Maybe specifically in Israel the statement could be seen as true, but that's only because Israel is a jewish settler ethnostate, so most of almost any grouping would be a majority Jews.

It's still a good example because as bad as Churchill was he was better than Hitler.

It's a widespread Islamic phrase but yes it stems from Arabic it means "God is greatest" and is often chanted in celebrations in Iran (and anywhere else with high Islamic influence)

Many Muslims will use Arabic for certain religious/symbolic purposes regardless of native language as the Quran was revealed in Arabic so it holds special purpose and unites the global Islamic community as they all can understand such phrases no matter where they live/which language they speak.

As I posted the above comment there were reports of Iranians shouting it to each other from the rooftops and thousands taking to the streets in groups to chant it despite the threat of Israeli attacks to celebrate Irans successful retaliation.

Hopefully they take the opportunity for a fresh start and move out of the settler occupation of Palestine.

How long can we afford to do that?

I've seen reports of Airbases, the Kirya, many anti-air systems, and some city infrastructure/housing.

As usual it's iffy as Israel silences reports on impacts. But it's undeniable, Israel was rocked.
