I have no love for Iran but once again it's the hypocrisy that I hate. Iran and Israel are held to entirely different standards.

Literally, what makes Israel better than Iran and even Russia when it comes to causing death, destruction, and misery?

Iran and Russia have never done anything like what Israel is doing, this ridiculous comparison mainly exists in the minds of Western commentators who earn their keep by agreeing with Washington. Not to mention they are nations with thousands of years of history and will not be going anywhere when Uncle Sam's money dries up.

This entire project you picked up of comparing Israel to Russia has done nothing to help Ukrainians or Palestinians. It has simply muddied the waters further. No, Israel was not "provoked", Palestine was provoked. And yes, Russia and Iran were provoked by the same US alliance.

What about India, where Hindutva has been ethnically cleansing Muslims this entire time? No it's just parroting the rogues gallery of Washington. There is no detail, only your useless addition to the WAPO oped comments section.
