I don't think an ethnostate is capable of providing value to the world.

As opposed to a massacring islamic theocracy? The problem with morality in the real world is always the same question. "Compared to what?"

You should go on youtube and search "streets of Tehran" to see the people we are killing right now.

So we agree that in both cases we should not be allies with such a nation. Glad we came to consensus on this.

I don't think such over-simplistic takes are capable of providing value to this forum. Japan send their regards and so does Armenia Greece and many others.

I don't think it's "over-simplistic". I consider it "morally clear".

No we fundamentally disagree. In fact we fundamentally differ in one important point. The conflicts in the real world ask the question:

A or B. Israel or Iran?

Your answer?

C, in fact let's attack Israel.

My answer is simple: Israel is better than Iran. No sane person argues differently. As trading partner and allies, obviously Israel is critically important ally if we are to have oil trade.
