Israel/Palestine
Showing Original Post only (View all)I don't understand why people are just blind to Israeli terrorism and instead focus on just Muslim terrorism. [View all]
There is a long history of Israeli terrorism and a current one via the violence from the settlers that if not state sanctioned are at least state supported. They have killed Americans for the simple act of protesting. There has not been a single prosecution of a settler for terrorism since 2020. Ya, Iran is a bad country, Muslim terrorism is bad but equally Israel is a bad country and Israeli terrorism is bad. Israel also has nuclear Weapons while Iran currently does not. Both sides are just eating that shit sandwich and coming back for seconds. Quit acting like they are not. Over it.
