Making Saudi Arabia look like the sole aggressor is incredibly dishonest after the numerous crimes Iran and its allies have openly been committing against sunni

Making Saudi Arabia look like the sole aggressor is incredibly dishonest after the numerous crimes Iran and its allies have openly been committing against sunnis. This issue is not as one-sided as the article tries to make it out to be. The Iranian regime is one of the biggest factors in the destabilisation of the Middle East. It’s worth mentioning that shiites have been, and still are killing sunnis in Iraq, Iran, Syria and Lebanon, in massive numbers. Kids are not spared here. Seeing all the death and destruction committed by the shiites, Iran and its allies like Russia in the Middle East, I’ve learnt to take what often appears to be pro-Iranian propaganda against Saudi Arabia with a grain of salt, and you should too. There is a lot to say about what Iran alone does to its sunni population. This issue requires us to look at it from a nuanced perspective lest we do many victims in these countries injustice. Edit: Removed an example of oppression which I unfortunately have no reference for anymore. If you want to see what’s going on, material is readily available on the internet. Search for example for “Hezbola”.

> I’ve personally seen a video of a shiite menacingly threatening a couple of Syrian refugee kids with a knife in Lebanon. Kids are not spared here. Syrians can be Shiites too .. and how do you know the threats were not directed at them for being, say, foreigners, which is unfortunately a common reaction to refugees around the world.

  This is far from the only example. But for this specific example, that’s all I have from memory, the details are lost together with the video. Many of these disappear from Youtube because of Youtube’s strange ToS and flagging system. Facebook and Twitter also deleted a lot of documentation of the war. In any case, there are still plenty of material out there. I’m not saying anything that’s not already well-established, that there is plenty of oppression against sunnis by the shia. Look at the Syrian regime, Irans involvment in various war-torn countries, the terror-organization Hezbola, shia militias in Iraq. The evidence is already out. Denying this is more absurd than denying Russias aggression against Ukraine, if we judge by the amount of testimonies and footage there is out there, and for how long the conflict has been going on.
