The most stupid people always demand that other people explain things, because they can't figure them out, because they're fucking idiots.

Your refusal and or inability to clearly communicate thoughts and ideas is your problem. We can't read your mind.

He's racist in favor of whiteness. Which isn't actually a race, but then, race isn't actually real so reality is not the basis of racism and that is therefore irrelevant. Jews have been deemed white until the next time a bunch of white people want to murder them, but Palestinians have been deemed brown.

Jews are an ethnic grouping not a racial grouping. There are Jews and Palestinians with all kinds of skin tones. That you think anyone would even understand what you were trying to say when it is wrong, incoherent and based on prejudicial nonsense is absurd.

You don't need an apostrophe there, and again, you're willfully ignoring the fact that Israelis were killing ten times as many Palestinians before October 7

In this very thread I said the following "On the other side Israel actively seeks one state solutions with perpetual settlement expansion rather than peace and is prone to disproportionate responses with significant civilian causalities." WTF do you think "disproportionate responses with significant civilian causalities" means?

I remember years ago collecting some data and adding up Israeli causalities from rocket attacks over a number of decades and comparing it to the toll from a single Israeli action that took place within the course of a few hours for a post on this very site on the topic of proportionality.

I can't even imagine what would happen if the tables were turned and Canadians or Mexicans kept lobbing unguided rockets into the US killing random people and blowing up random shit, day after day, week after week, year after year, decade after decade. Good luck getting Americans to give a fuck about proportionate responses or spending too much money and effort to minimize civilian causalities. What would actually happen is we would fucking go in and tear them a new asshole. I'm sorry I would care a lot if Israelis were just attacking without provocation and the other side just wanted to live in peace but they don't ... Gaza is run by a death cult who wants to destroy their enemy and so long as that is true I'm not going to give a flying fuck about either side. They are both fundamentally in the wrong.

and are WAY WAY WAY the fuck out in front now. Who's eradicating who, and why are you ignoring it? Answer, racism again. Fuck off with your racism.

Why are you ignoring the history of Palestinians making common cause with Hitler to exterminate Jews? Why are you ignoring the stated intent of Hamas toward Jews?

Obviously the answer is always racism when you are a hyper partisan leftist. Your whole world revolves around intersectionality scores where everything is explained away by "racist". I personally don't care if a foreign state lobs a rocket into the US that kills 1 people and the US responds with a strike that ends up killing 10 people on purpose to send a message not to do it again.

What matters to me is the state of mind and why people are doing what they are doing. A death cult that wants to kill all the Jews yet lacks the means does not get a pass because they don't have the means to inflict more damage. A much more powerful state that retaliates with little restraint is hardly surprisingly or extraordinary especially against repeated nonstop attacks.

This conflict is like two retards arguing over which of the two is smarter. Does it really matter? Not really... Both sides are shit bags for different reasons. Neither are worth giving a flying fuck about.

Palestine is still not a race

No one claimed that it was, you just failed to understand the argument.

No one /w exception of yourself. Here is your full statement in which you make the absurd linkage:

"Anytime anytime brings up how October 7 supposedly justifies whatever Israel wants, we know we've found a gigantic piece of shit.

Before October 7, Israel had killed over ten times more Palestinians than the reverse. They have also expanded into Palestine's territory time and again while Palestine has never expanded into theirs.

You think all of that is great and justified specifically because you are racist."

This statement is quite clear and unambiguous leaving little to the imagination. If you meant to say something else then by all means clarify what you intended to say. Otherwise I would like to know what "race" unixisc is "racist" against? This is after all your claim you should be able to explain it.

You mean the economic support that Naziyahoo has bragged he makes sure reaches the death cult in question? Okay, sport.

This keeps getting better and better. So now a Jewish Nazi is giving out humanitarian aid to citizens of a country?

The same Jewish Nazi has gone through great lengths to make sure aid is being distributed to citizens rather than having the aid end up in the hands of Hamas goons.

Palestinians and Nazi's share quite a history of common cause in the mutual goal of eradicating Jews from the earth.

Israel is not an apartheid state. Its citizens have equal rights under the law. This is in stark contrast to explicitly discriminatory laws of South Africa where citizens were treated differently by race. Israelis have some weird shit going on the margins /w so called right of return and conscription.

The US analogue of 10/7 justified wars against two countries... one having absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.. spanning a total of 30 years leaving over a million dead.

In the case of 10/7 going after Iran and its belligerent proxies that directly attacked Israel is in my view a legitimate response to Oct 7. The deliberate mass murder of hundreds of civilians by Iranian proxies was a brazen act of war. Hezbollah is not just a threat to Israel it is actively destabilizing Lebanon acting in manners that challenge the state. The Lebanese don't deserve the Hezbollah nonsense being exported from Iran.

Before October 7, Israel had killed over ten times more Palestinians than the reverse. They have also expanded into Palestine's territory time and again while Palestine has never expanded into theirs.

Hard to care about either party to this conflict. Gaza is run by a death cult which enjoys wide support amongst its people. Its primary goal being not peace but rather the destruction of Israel. On the other side Israel actively seeks one state solutions with perpetual settlement expansion rather than peace and is prone to disproportionate responses with significant civilian causalities.

They both deserve each other.

Palestine is not a race. None of these clowns are worth giving two shits about.

Any deal where the actual logistics of anything within Iranian artillery range is ignored, is a victory for Iran. A pretty shit victory, but it also means they get to push the same global buttons the next round so long the world is a petroeconomy. The same is true if any tribute is levied. Pipes won't really do anything if you could you know... just artillery the pipe or the end points. Or all the facilities needed for oil.

Pay me money to pass vs pay me money not to attack your country and kill your people and blow your shit up are quite different things. I don't view blockades and direct attacks on countries and infrastructure as the same thing.

Remember the Iranian regime lives in a glass house too. Any state can simply lob shells, drones, rockets and missiles at any other to destroy their infrastructure with little regard for range. Damage to pipelines is akin to damage to railroad tracks or roads.. relatively easily repaired especially next to costs to repair attacks on supporting infrastructure for extraction and processing of hydrocarbons.

Iran won.

What did they win? Are you saying Iran wins by default because the regime has not collapsed or do you believe the regime has actually achieved something?

Before the war, few believed that they could survive a direct attack by the US,

To me this is like looking up at the blue sky and asserting it is green. Every analyst kept repeating by rote the mantra air campaigns alone cannot be decisive. It was as ubiquitous as the view Trump would never conduct a full scale ground invasion of Iran. I distinctly remember being frustrated by the over reliance on dogma / prepacked conclusions.... and yet here you are asserting the exact opposite.

but now it's very clear that they control the Strait, and can bring the global economy down whenever they like.

The US is unlikely to agree to this in any peace agreement. Iran and many other states have always had latent capability to block chokepoints. It is a well known risk to global trade. The Hormuz issue will mitigate itself as bypass pipelines come online.

Meanwhile Israel continues to do whatever it likes, and the US has no control there either. All they can do is send more free stuff to the Israelis. Doubtless the ceasefire will last only hours before Israel breaks it.

Of course not. Israel continues to be fired upon from Hezbollah inside Lebanon -- one of Iran's many proxy groups currently terrorizing both the Lebanese and Israelis. There is no state in the world that would agree to standby and do nothing as rockets, missiles and drones are lobbed at them.

No state would would ever accept a "peace" deal whereby it is prevented from defending itself. You don't get to FA and then go play the victim card when the other side sends some FO your way.

It's actually kind of astounding how badly this has turned out, for everyone except Iran and Russia.

Nobody knows how things will turn out. There is not yet a peace agreement. The idea this war has turned out anything other than badly for Iran is not supported by facts of what has occurred. Any such analysis is only possible after an agreement is reached.

The problem with that is it requires boots on the ground and it almost certainly will require a draft. Iran is too large and American birth rates are too low to supply enough cannon fodder through a volunteer army.

No need to draft Americans. There are more than enough Iranians willing to finish the job.

Personally I've been keeping track of Iran and Pahlavi for decades. Your cluelessness is your problem and your problem alone.

and also the fact that the hordes of Iranian demonstrators in various Iranian cities are yelling his name

That is fake news.

What's the point of this? We've been seeing feeds full of videos before, during and after the massacres with pro Pahlavi slogans chanted by huge crowds of people. One of the most crazy sets were of people answering Pahlavi's call shouting from their balconies at night being met with indiscriminate gunfire at residential apartments from regime goons on the ground.

This really shouldn't be surprising given widespread support for Pahlavi within Iran.

"Pahlavi nostalgia is further reflected in the survey's findings that 79.9 percent of Iranians overwhelmingly favor Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi over the current political leaders."

He has already.

No such thing has in fact occurred. He has made consistent statements for decades indicating his goal is a democratic transition and most Iranians trust him.

Albeit being an King/Shah in exile.
