> It's troubling that most of the free world stands by and watches as a genocidal-level massacre takes place in Iran. Persians don't expect China/Russia to respond, but come on, no action from the West? I find it surprising that you're troubled. The West helped Israel with its genocide in Gaza; why did you expect that the West would intervene in what's happening the Iran, which by death count is significantly smaller?

> which by death count is significantly smaller In 48 hours, the islamic regime in Iran massacred more than 40,000 protestors (and left tens of thousands of people blinded/wounded, often "finishing them off" by raiding hospitals...). Some figures even show more than 40,000, but even assuming the low-park, that's 833 people per hour, or 13 people per minute who got killed. Whatever Israel did (to defend itself) was by no means even near those numbers.

    The best thing about zionism zealots propagandists is they can't hide it. I guess it's the effect of decades of having the West self-flagellate over "antisemitism", they got used to getting away with everything. Also funny the wording "whatever they did", as if it's a mystery.

Israel killed about 300,000 people in the first month. Sure, it's a lower count per day, what a low bar. From now on, every time anyone says anything about Iran, I'll be pushing the narrative that "whatever Iran did, it was to defend itself".

    300,000? Can you cite something for that? Edit to add: Also, Israel was actually attacked, and civilians were raped, kidnapped, and murdered. Did any of the protestors in Iran kill, rape, or murder any of members of the regime who subsequently slaughtered them?

      > Edit to add: Also, Israel was actually attacked, and civilians were raped, kidnapped, and murdered. Did any of the protestors in Iran kill, rape, or murder any of members of the regime who subsequently slaughtered them? Just to be clear. You're arguing that if a country is attacked, it's ok to kill civilians that are unrelated to the attack? Or are you arguing that those 300,000 were somehow involved in the killing of the 3,000 Israelis that died in the Hamas attack?

        > Edit to add: Also, Israel was actually attacked, and civilians were raped, kidnapped, and murdered. Did any of the protestors in Iran kill, rape, or murder any of members of the regime who subsequently slaughtered them? So you're not saying that what Israel is doing is less bad due to the fact that it was attacked? So what are you saying then? I guess that no, I can't find a more charitable way to interpret what you said.

Whether or not Israel responded disproportionately to October 7 (it did), I don't think it's fair to say Iran's actions are "self-defense" in the same way that Israel's war was self-defense.

Because Iran has oil, which makes it far more interesting to the West than Yugoslavia and Kosovo, where the west did intervene.
