No, both Palestinians and Iranians are human, and both Israel and Iran are evil murderous regimes with disregard to human life.
And one has killed multiple orders of magnitude more humans, is trying to kill even more, and is the aggressor in this case. The British Empire was an evil murderous regime, but if someone was saying they weren't the obvious lesser evil in World War 2, I would assume they are a Nazi
Because Iran isn't capable of murdering people with the impunity that Israel has, not because they don't want to, or wouldn't if given the chance. If they get nukes that would change.
Following your example, Britain (and America) were both bad and the obvious lesser evil in ww2, but the Soviet union less so. They had their own genocide(s) they just weren't able to scale it up fast enough before getting invaded.
You have zero evidence of this, just rascism and vibes. This is basically what a Russian supporter would say about Ukraine. This is what the US did say about Iraq. This is what every imperialist prick says to justify their aggression.
And even if it was true, the actual, real life, actually happening genocide that Israel is committing is worse than the one you imagine Iran might.
I'm going to stop you right there. If you think it's "obvious" that the western allies were lesser evils but can't tell that Iran is, you are a white supremacist. It's that simple. Remember, unlike Iran, the British Empire committed actual genocide.
Only if you're a Holocaust denier.
And this is just straight up false.
I have family killed by the Soviet union in the 1940s, so I don't care about your uneducated opinion defending a genocidal regime.
Typical ml user.
K, lots of people have family killed by the British Empire and the US, and the Nazis. But apparently you think you're the main character and the only person who matters. Maybe you should learn you're not the centre of the universe before chiding others about being uneducated, given you should've learned that in preschool.
Nah, genocide denial is not cool no matter what Whataboutism or meme you try.
