    I wouldn’t include Nice, but I agree with that.

    Israel came in and started an act of war. If it was flipped, news would be screaming about Iran being a warmonger.

        What’s xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

        Nothing xenophobic about it, unless Ehud Olmert is xenophobic.

        “What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: the indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians. We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, viciously, maliciously, recklessly. Yes, we are committing war crimes.”

        Can the former prime minister of Israel be xenophobic towards Israel?

          The sponsor of hezbola, hamas and houtis, that floods the middle east with weapons since the 70s never started a war? That Iran?

        Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.

        Iran is a war mongering, autocratic, theocratic GOVERNMENT but a peaceful, progressive, secular NATION.

            Could you please acknowledge the distinction I am making? Because it kind of looks like you just picked out some words and flipped your wig without really attempting to comprehend what you were reading. Breathe, dude. We’re gonna get through this.
