judaeo christian genocide cults like zionisim are behind all of the worst atrocities in this century, there "policy" is unspeakable deranged insanity, and there actions, bit by bit, serve as the rope that hangs them, and it might sound a bit strange to hear them rant,here,with the nonsensical rationalisations, but they know no shame

Hmmm. Off the top of my head in the current century: Yemen civil war (150,000 killed). Syrian civil war (500,000 killed). Sudan (150,000 to 400,000 killed, rape used as a weapon). Constant kidnapping of schoolkids in Africa by Islamic gangs. Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines. Islamic violence in Thailand (over 6,500 killed recently). Ongoing repression of women in Afghanistan. 3000 (regime admitted numbers) to 30,000 murdered in Iran by the Shia Islamic regime. Violence against Christians in Congo. ISIS with their take-over, religious sanctioned slave auctions, religious sanctioned sale/forced marriages of Yazidi women (at least one of whom ended up in forced 'marriage' in Gaza). The violence/abuse that is Iraq/Iran Islamic religious leader approved/sanctioned 'temporary' marriages to underage girls (the BBC has done many articles trying to bring light on).

Look at Christian populations in Islamic countries and their numbers dramatically decreasing this century. Christians in Iraq 1.2 million in 2011, 120,000 in 2024, over a million displaced peoples. Syria 1.5 million to 300,000, 1.2 million displaced peoples. Hamas conducts violence against the 2% Christian population in Gaza. There are some 18 million displaced Christians world wide.

Reality seems to disprove the premise unless you meant to include all Abrahamic faiths and include Islam in your violent religions list.

Not maybe. Israel is the whole reason the USA is losing its mind (and its war) in Iran right now.

I don't think Israel was reason for Iraq invasion, Serbia bombing or kidnapping Venezuelan president and many other US attacks on other countries.

Not fully, but it was a goal of Netanyahu/Israel to destroy Iraq, as they do for Iran. Netanyahu was there in congress to testify (lie) about weapons of mass destruction as the US attacked Iraq.

The aggressors not being the targets of the firebombing is central to the concerns here. They weren't military targets (largely).

It was total war though, and they were the aggressors who had slaughtered millions of civilians previously. The Germans and Japanese got what they deserved. Iran and their people are not the aggressors here. They do not deserve it.

This thread will get flagged and disappear, probably because at least someone in HN leadership realises just how bad this reflects on the USA and its people. But people in the USA should realise this: An entire generation is growing up now, who hate, dislike or at least distrust the USA. Where I have the feeling the US will come to its senses, eventually, hopefully; my children tell me that they and all their classma…

paranoid polarization is just how fascism works.
