Comment on Iran Is Using Foreign Criminals to Attack Its Critics Overseas

Comments

Iran has nothing on Israel when it comes to interfering with other nations. This is simply propaganda and missing the elephant in the room (on purpose of course).

I've never heard of Israel trying to kill overseas critics? As opposed to terrorists who try to kill Israelies.

I've never heard of Israel trying to kill overseas critics?..

Could it be because they're really good at it?

They kill journalists (not even critics) all the time. They've murdered people in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen...

I'm sure they've killed plenty of people in the US and elsewhere as well. Epstein was an Israeli op after all.

lord knows they sure kill or kidnap people overseas tho

but i'll concede some of them were literally nazis

Palestinians say that Israel deliberately kills palestinian journalists, poets.

I lived in Israel, and know Israel well enough to believe this is true.

I'm so tired of this geopolitical whataboutism.

Once at tech policy happy hour, someone got in my face and demanded I affirm that Israel has a right to exist.

They recoiled as if they'd been physically struck when I shot back "Israel has a right to exist and not do war crimes... just like Saudi Arabia".

(I don't give a fuck if you have dip-lo-mat-ic imm-un-itt-y. I've slapped the soul out of someone in Farragut Square before, and as I sit here looking at the data, I've concluded I'll probably do it again, don't you ever put your fucking hands on me.)

There is no reason to treat the leaders of Israel any different than the leaders of countries like UAE, Qatar, etc.

(And if it was up to me, we'd send all these fascist motherfuckers on a free trip to The Hague.)

Israel has a right to exist and not do war crimes

Which other countries in the west also do war crimes and where’s the comparable outrage about them?
