Gaza is Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel has been conducting a genocide there for over two years (with support from the US).
Iran is a sovereign state. And-whether we like it or not– the Ayatollahs are the legitimate government of that country. The US and Israel have no right to conduct a regime change operation because they don’t like the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Professor Mearsheimer noted in his interview that if he had been Iran’s national security advisor Iran would have had nuclear weapons long ago. The US doesn’t play these games with countries that are nuclear powers.
At the same time, one must acknowledge that the regime in Iran is brutal and of course many people are rightfully very unhappy with it. That said, no regime in any country would allow this kind of protest. National security is first and foremost– This applies to all nations.
Again, I don’t think one can compare Occupied Palestinian Territory to a sovereign state–whatever one thinks of the government of that sovereign state.
Personally, I’m not particularly sympathetic to a theocratic regime but I also don’t believe the US has the right to indulge in regime change operations in sovereign states.
I don’t think the comparison holds up. Gaza is Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel has been conducting a genocide there for over two years (with support from the US). Iran is a sovereign state. And-whether we like it or not– the Ayatollahs are the legitimate government of that country. The US and Israel have no right to conduct a regime change operation because they don’t like the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Exactly
XTM has an inherent bias for Israel because of his beliefs.
I would assume many of the Diaspora Iranians are the same, supporting Israel and waving Israeli flags at protests.
Even Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora dont wave Indian Flags, They wave their LTTE Tiger flag which is Illegal in SL.
A few years ago Saudis (wahabi) money was being injected in SL. A few Muslims were waving Pakistani flags during Pakistan Cricket matches. The Govt did nothing, probably spoke to the Imams. With the end of Saudi money that nonsense died off.
Maybe XTM supports Indian Muslims waving Pakistan flags
