        So avowed zionist Milei becomes pres, then the courts accuse an Iranian of the attack 30 years after it happens. Great work.

        This is the current head of Israel:

        Arrest warrant issued on 21 November 2024

        Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.

        Starving children is not defending yourself.

        If the Israelis hadn’t killed his predecessor, he wouldn’t have that position.

        Neither is slaughtering children for fun, like the IDF. Their comment was satirical.

        What about girls elementary schools? Is that fair game to be in the defending yourself category?

            Israel seems to be the common denominator in all of the “wrongs” happening in the middle east. I remember learning as a child about the instability in the middle east and the framing that this was due to violent Muslims. Now that I can look at the region as a critical adult it is clear that the western backed settler colonial state of Israel, created by the west in 1948, is the cause of a good 90% of the trouble in the region. Imagine how much more peaceful and prosperous the entire region would be if the fanatical Zionist state was not there in the first place, or just make the entirety of Israel/Palestine one country without the apartheid and equal rights for all?

          What sane about this comment? It is like saying if china for example attack the usa. The usa can’t have the right defend itself because it commit terrorist attacks in Japan, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia and Syria
