          Which in turn was in response to…going back to the illegal occupation of South Lebanon by Israel.

          I’m not quite sure about Lebanon but israel bombed multiple people first, notably Syrian airfields. Multiple times.

          Syria even been in this war iirc.

          Israel used 7 Oct to attack a whole bunch of people they don’t like under the pretense of counter terrorism

            Israel is just a shitty warmongering nation.

            We in the west focus on Iran but the real blight in the region is Israel.

              Really, you’d rather support Iran, a nation where women are beaten and killed for not covering themselves completely? How is Israel the blight in the region, besides being the easy target completely surrounded by countries that hate it for being different aka not Muslim and being a democracy that supports LGBTQ?

                Because Israel is an apartheid, settler colonial nation in the middle of an ethnic cleansing campaign and Iran isn’t.

                    It’s been called an apartheid state by multiple NGO’s, South Africa, and UN investigators. This includes Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Yesh Din, and B’Tselem.

                    Amnesty international wrote a while report on it. To summarize they keep them segregated and fragmented, and have a bunch of laws and policies to restrict movement of travel, where they can live, citizenship, preventing it through marriage, where they can drive and things like that Meanwhile, they have laws characterizing Israel as a Jewish state, the Right of Return for Jewish people, expanding settlements for Jewish people in the West Bank, and it goes on. The evidence is very extensive.
