- ericmay 7d agoIt was a factual statement. If you want to clutch your pearls I think you should stand next to the parents of the dead murdered at the hands of Iran and do it there. Here you can read about a couple more children (20 year olds are children to my eyes) in the news as recently as today: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/the-twin-sisters-facing-the-wrath-of-irans-crackdown-81adce68?st=kAGDvC&reflink=article_copyURL_share https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/the-twin-sisters-facin...
- clipsy 8d agoHilarious that you don't see the hypocrisy in your own post. I have plenty of judgment for Iran's regime, it's a pity you can't bring yourself to condemn child murderers who happen to be from your own country.
- ericmay 7d agoI can’t condemn child murderers since nobody in the US murdered children, but I can get behind general criticism of our failure to be perfect. I would say we need to get better at holding our noses and doing what must be done, or we need to get better at extremely precise attacks so when these atrocious people set up their military bases in civilian facilities or nearby we don’t cause collateral damage. But it goes to show how awful Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and more are. They use children as shields because they know we don’t want to kill children. On the other hand they affirmatively do murder children, including their own, and Hamas raped and murdered children in 2023 when they attacked a concert. They and all who support them including the children they love probably don’t deserve a lot of sympathy, but we’re the better people so we put up with it, unlike most countries or civilizations.
